SUGARCANE BEETLE ( Euetheola rugiceps Lee.) 
Louisiana. W. E. Hinds (April 6): Adults were observed in flight on warm 
evenings of April 3 and 4 with temperatures of 75 to 80° F. Attack on 
corn and cane is just beginning. The beetles are as abundant as usual.

CODLING MOTH ( Carpocapsa pomonella L.) 
New York. P. J. Parrott (April 23): In some sections of western New York 
many overwintering larvae were killed by low temperatures. 
New Jersey. T. J. Headlee (April 25): The codling moth is moderately abundant 
Delaware. L. A. Stearns (April 24): Pupation of overwintered larvae was just 
commencing the. second week in April in southern Delaware. 
Pennsylvania. H.N. Worthley (April 14): The record- of survival at State 
College was as follows on. April 10: 23.9 percent survival in strawboard 
bands in a screen-bottomed cage in the orchard and 9.6 percent survival 
in strawboard strips exposed (except for screening) on the trunks of the 
trees. In 1933 about 50 percent of the overwintering larvae produced 
moths. No such difference in the two types of - cage has been noted before, 
and this would seem to be an effect due to exposure of the larvae on the 
tree trunks. 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (April 24): The codling moth is pupating. 
Georgia. C. H. Alden (April 21): The first moth was caught in bait traps, 
April 14, at Cornelia. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (April 24): The colding moth is moderately abundant and 
is well advanced in Lawrence County. About 50. percent wore oupated 
April 12, when buds were in the pre-pink stage. Parasitization is very 
low. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (April 20): Codling moth pupation started in southern 
Illinois during the week of April 8. Cool weather has retarded pupation. 
No pupation has occurred at Urbana. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (April 20): The codling moth is very abundant, with 
from 30 to 40 percent mortality, 
Missouri. L. Has*, p . U. ril 24): Recent counts s 60 to 70 percent 
survival, ! I • .• r has been more winter cleanup worJc do. I an ever 
before and growers are optimistic. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (April 15): Reports from the Arkansas River Valley indi- 
cate that a large percentage of the overwintering larvae has been destroyed 
through excellent sanitation methods applied, by the C. W. A.
