 tions in Crockett, Dyer, Lauderdale, and Rutherford Counties. (PPD) . ALABAMA - 

 Larvae very heavy, damaging 30-acre field of cotton at Billingsley, Chilton 

 County. Damage so heavy production may equal cost of seed to plant area.

 at edge of 40-acre corn field in Chilton County. (Futral, Barnett). Larvae 

 damaged strawberry plants in Cullman County gardens. Determined by V.H. Owens.
