Louisiana. W. E. Hincs (March 26): Sugarcane beetles are "beginning to 
fly on Warm nifhts. It is not yet ti:ne to estimate their abundance 
and orobable injuriousness for this season.

APPLE 
CODLING- MOTH (Oaroocapsa oomonella L. ) 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (March 22): Larvae are still in hibernation at 
Cornelia. There has been no nrupation to date. A high percentage 
is surviving the winter and it atroea.rs that there will be a moderate 
number of spring-brood moths. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (March 25): Auoles are rabidly arm roach in: the 
ureoink stage at Columbia and as yet no nupation has taken "olace in 
our breeding cages. Winter mortality has been low at Columbia but 
in the northwestern part of the State it has been re^ortec? a.s high 
in breeding cages. 
EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR ( Malacosoma americana Fab.) 
Connecticut. W. E. Britton (March 23): Egg clusters of the eastern tent 
cateroillar are very abundant throughout the State on amle and wild 
cherry. Specimens have been sent in from Glastonbury, Hartford, and 
Waterbury. 
E. P. Felt (March 25): Eggs are generally abundant and the ^ros- 
"oects are that there will be considerably larger numbers ovsr a greater 
area than occurred last year under conditions that led us to believe 
that the outbreak had reached its peak. 
New Jersey. T. J. Headlee (March 23): Egg masses are extremely numerous 
and widely distributed throughout the State. Judging from the number 
of egg masses, this insect will reach the tieak of its present increas- 
ing cycle this year. However, a good many egg masses found are not 
viable. 
Pennsylvania. T. L. C-uvton (March 28): Egg masses of the eastern tent 
caterpillar are ver" numerous on wild cherry in Pike \ iroe Counties. 
Tennessee. G. M. Bentley (March): The extern tent caterpillar is gen- 
erally distributed over the St^te. Small tents were just appearing on 
March 20. 
J. U. Gilmore (March 20): The first small web of the season was 
seen in wild cherrv at Clarksville on March 20.
