ECONOMIC ZOOLOGY — ENTOMOLOGY. 351 



Third annual report of the State entomologist, li. A. Cooley {Montana 

 Sta. Bui. C)2. jip. ISI-.i.id. Ills. ',. fii/.^. .',). — This report is occupiod with a KCMieral 

 .•uroiiut of tlic codliiii,' moth, i)liiin gouger, bollwonii, and whito-lined morning 

 sphinx. 



The codHng moth is now distriimted locally in the main frnit-growing regions 

 of Montana, and the author believes that it can not be exterminated. Hecom- 

 ■ meiidations are made of methods calculated to control the insect in infested 

 localities. 



The plum gouger has a local (list rilmt ion in the State at present and attacks 

 only native varieties of plums. During V.H)~) the bollworm did considerable 

 damage to corn in various i)arts of the State. Some alarm was felt by alfalfa 

 growers over the unusual prevalence of the white-lined morning sphinx. The 

 author believes, however, that this insect was feeding mostly on weeds and only 

 to a slight extent on cultivated plants.
