of the codling moth was - observed in southern Illinois on 
April 6. No pupation has been observed in the central part of 
the State. The overwintering larvae of the codling moth are 
fully as abundant as in the spring of 1926, a very high per- 
centage of the srorms having come through the -inter alive. 
The present prolonged rainy period is likely to prevent the 
application of the calyx spray in many southern and south- 
central Illinois ordhards where the apples are already out 
of the bloom.
