FRUIT INSECTS 
APPLE 
CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L. ) 
South Carolina. 0. L. Cartwright (September 19): Injury to apples by 
the third brood is very prevalent at Clemson College. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (September 25): The codling moth is very serious 
again in Lawrence County, in southern Ohio. Seven cover sprays have 
failed to control it; and worm entrances were abundant during August 
and September owing to a rather heavy third brood of larvae. Else- 
where in the State the insect is not so numerous but populations are 
increasing, even where extra early sprays had been applied. 
Kentucky. 1. A. Price (September 25): The codling moth is very abundant. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (September 20): The codling moth is moderately abun- 
dant. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 2U) : Late worms are scattered over the 
entire State. A few moths are still emerging and young worms are 
entering fruit. Less abundant than for several years. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (September 20): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant . 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (September 26): On August 22 workers in north- 
eastern Kens as reported an overlapping of second-brood and third- 
brood moths. Moths were abundant but damage was comparatively light. 
Texas. W. L. Owen (September S): Fewer wormy apples then ever before 
are reported from the vicinity of Port Davis. The owner of a large 
commercial orchard estimates that not more than one apple in 500 is 
infested. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (September 2l): Continued hot weather up to 
September 6, together with the early season, resulted in an unusually 
large third brood in Yakima Valley. The peak of this brood came the 
last week of August, and began to decline noticeably early in Septem- 
ber, although the weather remained hot. This caused a heavy attack 
by late worms, which in many cases more than offset the earlier light 
infestation. Some orchards were sprayed 10 or 12 times during the 
season. 
FLAT-HEADED APPLE THEE BOHSR ( Chrysobothris femorata 01 iv.) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (October 2): The flat-headed borer has been un- 
usually abundant in and destructive to apple and maple, especially 
apple, in the northern half of the State.
