Idaho R. H. Smith (August 15) . "More abundant than usual about Twin Palls; 
young orchards espacirlly are seriously affected. Nicotine sulphate 
whan used with arcanace of load and a spreader for codling moth has 
given satisfactory control for this past." 
CODLING 1CTH ( Garpocapsa pomonolla L.) 
New York G. R. Crosby and assistants report about 5 per cent of side worm injury 
observed in waync County on July 16. On same date a larva was observed 
which was apparently ready to pupate; the majority of the larvae, how- 
ever, were not mora than about two-thirds grown. In Orleans County 
side worms were rather abundant in most orchards by July 23, especially 
those which received no June spray; five orchards inspected during the 
third weol-c in July which received a thorough spray between June 15 and 
25 showed but very small percentage of damage; larvae in most cases 
were then about half grown; by July 30 most of the larvae were full 
grown in this county and many had begun to pupate, and by August 6 a 
majority of the larvaa had pupated. On August 8 moths of the second 
brood were seen, but no eggs were found up to August 12. On August 13 
eggs and the first larvae of the second brood were observed and larvae 
v/ero found working into the apples on August 19. In Ganesee County, 
widespread injury, especially on pears, was reported July 16; by July 
22 the infestation had developed to a very serious extent and by July 
30 practically all of the fruit was infested. In some orchards by 
August 15 side injury by late -emerging caterpillars of the first brood 
was zhcmijzg up prominently. This insect is also reported as being very 
abundant in Albany and Nassau Counties, and the infestation in Niagara 
County is considerably greater than last year. 
F. 2. Hartzell (August 13). "Insect about as numerous as usual, but 
percentage of the crop infested much heavier on account of light crop 
in Chautauqua County." 
Illinois W. P. Flint (August 18) . "Less abundant than during the last three 
years in the southern two-thirds of the State. Indications are that 
the third brood will not be as destructive as usual." 
Montana R. A. Cooley (August 15) . "The codling moth is becoming mora and more 
general in its distribution in the Bitter Root Valley and is causing 
very serious losses." 
Idaho R. H. Smith (August 15) . "Less numerous than usual about Twin Falls; 
first moth of the second brood trapped on July 21; first-brood worms 
have been coming down constantly since July 8." 
APPLE AND THORN SKBLSTONIZSR ( Hemerophila pariana Clerck) 
Connecticut W. 3. Britton (July 29). "Apparently this insect, which was discovered 
in the State late in 1920, has spread rapidly and is now found at 
Wallingford, Hampden, Mow Haven, Stamford, New Canaan, Danbury and 
Greenwich."
