Minnesota. A. G-. Ruggles (July ig) : Codling moth is moderately abundant, 
Missouri. L. Haseman (July 2^): Second- brood worms emerging all over the 
State but they are being effectively controlled. . 
H, Baker (July 30): The first first-brood' moth was caught June 
30 at Saint Joseph, in the northwestern part of the State. The first 
big catch was on July 15 and the peak catch to date was on July 2U. 
Damage by second-brood worms is at its peak at present and is heavier 
than was ( anticipated. Abundance about .average. 
Nebraska, W. TUT. Darlington (July): Damage by the codling moth was identified 
from as far west as Sheridan County in apples sent in the first week of 
July. The survival of overwintering larvae at Lincoln was 67 percent, 
as indicated by larvae gathered under bands and placed in racks in the 
fall, of 1936» a 11 ^ 57 percent of the overwintering larvae of the spring 
brood had pupated by May 12,- when the initial 1937 observations were 
made. Pupation continued to June 2U, although bulk pupation had oc- 
curred by May 29» The first moth emerged on. May 22; peak of emergence, 
May 29; the last moth of this brood emerged on July 3? 60 percent of 
the spring-brood moths had emerged ^oy May 29. In bait-trap catches at 
Agricultural College orchard the first and last moths were taken on 
May 19 and June 25» respectively, with the peak of catches on May 25 # 
28, and 29. Egg laying by moths of the spring brood began May 27 and 
continued through July 3» the largest number of eggs laid on any 1 day 
being on May 30, The earliest date on which first-brood larvae were 
found under bands was June 19» the number collected increasing daily to 
July 6. From July 7 to July 20 the number of larvae collected under 
bands gradually decreased} a sufficient number was collected on the 
latter date to indicate continuance of first-brood larvae for several 
weeks. Pupation of first-brood larvae began June 20 and reached its 
peak on July 6 and 10. First— brood moths began to emerge on Jxily 3» 
Peaks of emergence occurred on July 10, 12, 18, 20. Oviposition by 
first-brood moths was first observed on July 11 and the greatest 
number of eggs were laid on July l6. First-brood moths have been taken 
in bait traps since July 11, with the largest single catch on July l6. 
YELLOW-l'JECKED APPLE WORM ( Datana ministra Drury) 
Missouri. L. Haseman (July 2*+): Larvae were maturing on July 20 and are far 
more abundant in central Missouri than for years. 
LEAFH0PPERS (Cicadellidae) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (July 26): Leafhoppers were reported as serious on apple 
at Valparaiso on June 23 and observations show them to be common and 
destructive throughout the State. 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (July 23): The white apple leafhopper ( Typhi ocyba 
pomaria McAtee) is most commonly encountered. This year our attention 
has been called to an unusual abundance of the green potato leafhopper
