APHIDS (APHIIDAE) 
A< I t Bourne (October 24): Apple aphids which were negli- 
gible during the greater part of the growing season, became 
rather abundant, particularly in some orchards, toward the 
time of harvest. Coming so late in the season, they did not 
cause any serious amount of injury* 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L, ) ' 
A» I* Bourne (October 24): Late side-worm injury by codling 
moth was in about normal proportions in well sprayed orchards. 
Where no particular attention was given to its control or where 
for one reason or another the spray program was interrupted, 
the species did a considerable amount of damage. Owing to the 
cold and unfavorable weather conditions prevailing during the 
time of the flight of spring moths, injury by this species was 
almost entirely confined to side-worm injury. Very little 
blossom-end injury was noted in any orchard. 
APPLE MAGGOT ( Rhagoletis pomonella Walsh) 
A* If Bourne (October 24): In regard to the apple maggot, 
the infestation on the whole was not s.o heavy as last year, but 
was rather spotty. In some orchards the damage was very severe, 
indeed, and manifested itself particularly in such varieties 
as Gravensteins, and to some extent in such varieties as 
Wealthy and Mcintosh. 
HAG MOTH (Phobetron pitheciam S« & A. ) 
North Carolina C, H, Brannon (September 25): A larva of this species was 
sent in by R« L» Sloan, Morganton, Burke County.

RED-HUMPED CATERPILLAR ( Schizura concinna A, & S.) 
A. I» Bourne (October 24): Red-humped caterpillars were 
slightly less abundant than last year and, while generally pre- 
sent, caused on the whole less injury than normally.
