■ ASIATIC GARDEN BEETLE 
The Asiatic garden be-tl^ ( „3oriC u c c stanza Arrow) has been 
discovered at the •following points outside of the area previously 
regulated under the Federal quarantine: Cromwell, Manchester, 
Mansfield, New Canaan, New London, and Southport, Conn,; Amawalk, 
Fishkill, end Kingston, II. Y. ; l.ilford, and Winter thur, Del. In 
most cases but few specimens were found. 
ASIATIC BEETLE 
The Asiatic beetle ( ijiompla orientalis ..aterh. ) was found at only 
the following two points outside of the area regulated under F^d^ral 
quarantine: Seven larvae '-ere found at Bridgeport, Conn., and t~o at 
Schenectady, N. Y. according to 0. H. Swezey, this insect has spread a 
little farther from the limited district it formerly occupied on the 
island. -.of Oahu, Hawaii. It is not numerous enough to be causing any 
damage, as it is fully controlled by the Philippine '"asp Scolia manilae . 
APHIDS 
Orchard aphids hatched unusually early in the Now -England States 
and appeared at that time to be abnormally abundant in the Ne 1- England, 
Middle Atlantic, and East Central States. As the season advanced, the 
situation in New England improved markedly. On the other hand, in New 
York State and southward to South Carolina and westward to Ohio the 
aphids did very considerable damage, and in Oregon the apple aphid 
( Aohis Tpomi DeG. ) was extremely -abundant as '"as also the rosy apple 
aphid ( Ariur aphis roseus Baker). By the middle of June the rosy appl- 
aphid had increased in the Middle Atlantic States to more serious 
numbers than in many years. 
CODLING MOTH 
The earliest emergence of the codling moth ( Caroocapsa oomonella L. ) 
was reported from Georgia on April 4. The earliest emergence in South 
Carolina was April 8. By April 18 moths were observed emerging in 
Virginia, by April 19 in southern Illinois, by May 12 in east-central 
Illinois,' by May 24 in Ohio, by May 10 in Washington State, east of the 
Cascade Mountains, and by May 15 in Oregon west of the Cascades. During 
June the insect appeared to occur in about normal numbers over the 
greater part of the eastern apple— growing region although there was an 
area in central and western Illinois where it was unusually abundant. 
As the season advanced, the East Central Stat-s reported very considerable 
injury by the second-brood larvae* A partial third brood in conjunction 
with the very short crop made side-worm injury Very conspicuous at 
harvest over the Middle Atlantic and j^ast Central States. Unusually 
warm weather during the first three weeks in September resulted in 
considerable activity of the worms on the comparatively light crop in 
VTashington and Oregon, where infestations were heavier than in 1928.
