FRUIT INSECTS 
APPLE 
CODLIUG MOTH ( Carnocapsa pononel la L. ) 
hew York. ?. J. Parrott (September 27): Less than 5 percent of the fruit 
infested, on the average, in the eastern fruit districts. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (September 2C): ilo serious injury has occurred in or- 
chards that received three cover sprays following the calyx-cup applica- 
tion. Counts of worm-"blemished fruit in orchards of cooperato'rs show 
that codling moth stings rarely occur on more than 5 percent of the 
fruits. The best orchards carry '52 to ^G percent clean fruit, with scab 
being the most common blemish. Most of the codling moth stings and en- 
trances were made during September. Self-working bands' have trapped 
only very few larvae during the season. 
Illinois. W, P. Flint (September 20): The warm weather during mid-Septem- 
ber has induced emergence of codling moths that pupated before the cool 
period in the latter part of August. At the present time there are 
rather large numbers of moths in most of the central and northern 
Illinois orchards. 
South Dakota. ... C. Severin (September IS): One complete and one partial 
generation in South Dakota. In some sections 100 percent of the fruit 
was infested in unsprayed trees. 
Washington. E» J« Newcomer (September 19): Unusually hot weather during 
the first 10 days of September has resulted in a considerable increase 
in the amount of wormy fru.it in the Yakima and Wenatchee Valleys. This 
increase seems to be particularly noticeable in orchards that load not 
been very thoroughly sprayed earlier. 
FLAT -HEADED APPLE TREE 30RER ( Chi-ysobothris femorata Oliv. ) 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (September 23): The flat-headed borer has been fre- 
quently reported from all part r ' of the State as destructive to hard 
maple and apple. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (September IS): During the period from August 15 to 
September 15 a great many complaints of injury to fruit and shade trees, 
especially apple, elm, maple, and oak, were received. 
Kansas. H. B. Hungerford (September 7): The flat-headed apple tree borer 
is doing much damage to nursery stock this year. It is also unusually 
injurious to orchards in southern Kansas. 
Oklahoma. F. A, Fenton (September 23): Reports have been received from all 
parts of the State requesting information on fruit and shade tree borer 
control, the chief culprit being the flat-headed apple tree borer, whi cm- 
is probably more injurious in Oklahoma this year than usual.
