E. J. Newcomer (May 20) : Moths began emerging in some num- 
bers May 6 and owing to continued warm weather a heavy emer- 
gence has occurred at Yakima since that date. During the 
period May 6 to 18, inclusive, 1,579 moths were captured in 
5 baits, as compared with 1,189 moths during the same period 
in 1931 in the same 5 baits. 
G. S. Hensill (April 26): The codling moth is moderately 
abundant at San Jose, first-brood adults appearing in suffi- 
cient numbers to necessitate applications of calyx and first 
cover sprays. 
Monthly News Letter, Los Angeles County Agricultural Commis- 
sioner (April 28): In Los Angeles County the first emergence 
of the moth was noticed about April 18.
