CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L. ) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (October 19): Damage was conspicuous in practi- 
cally all orchards, even in the best-sprayed ones. 
Virginia. W. S. Hough (October 23): Injury to apple above average in northern 
•Virginia, largely because many growers failed to spray for control of 
second brood in July. 
South Carolina. F. Sherman and W. • C. Nettles (October 16): Some report less 
damage than' usual and yield of apples is far above normal. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (October 18): In Cornelia all larvae are in winter cases, 
except a few that are now leaving the ripening fruit. No moths have come 
to the bait pots since September 25. 
Ohio. T, H. Parks (October 26): One hundred and eleven orchards which had re- 
ceived from 6 to 12 spray applications were checked 'for insect and disease 
blemishes. The averrge percentage of stung fruit in the orchards was 3.5 
.percent, as compared with 5.6 percent in 1936. -In 13 orchards less than 
one-tenth of 1 percent of the apples bore codling moth blemishes. Ten 
orchards averaged about 10 percent. The heaviest infestations were in 
Lawrence, and Lucas Counties, where five orchards had over 25 percent of 
- the apples blemished by. .this insect. 
Michigan. R. Huts on (October 22):- Damage was normal or slightly above; how- 
ever, comparatively large pppulations of overwintering larvae are present, 
Missouri. L. Haseman (October 22): Moths continued to fly at Columbia until 
September 28 and then after a lull of several days a few moths were taken 
on October 19. This is considerably later than previous records indicate, 
although we frequently have appreciable numbers of moths occurring as 
last as September 25. In .some orchards late-brood larvae were picked up 
in abundance. Because of their abundance, an appreciable percentage of 
the winter apples picked in October showed worminess. 
RED-BANDED LEAF ROLLER ( Argyrotaenia velutiana Walk..) 
Connecticut. P. Garman (October 21): More abundant than usual in New H? ven 
and New London Counties, and doing serious damage in apple orchards where 
late sprays were omitted. Damaged fruit amounted to 9 percent maximum in 
one orchard. 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh) 
Maine. F. H. Lr.throp (October 20): In Monmouth, Kennebec County, a few flies
