Delaware. L. A. Stearns (June 12): Single outbreak in vicinity of 
Hockessin, New Castle County, reported and observed during week 
commencing June 12. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (June 24): Doing considerable damage on some 
farms in southeastern section during the month. Only an occasional 
specimen collected in central part of the State. 
SORGHUM WEBWOEM ( Celama sorghiella Riley) 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (June 23): On rye heads received from Owensboro, 
accompanied by statement that they had destroyed much of the grain 
in a 15 -acre field. 
CORN 
EUROPEAN CORN BORER ( Pyrausta nubilalis Hbn.) 
Maine. J. Hawkins (June 5 ): Approximately 30 percent of the corn 
borers survived in cages at Unity. 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (June 24): Pupae found at Norwich, Windsor County, 
in the Connecticut River Valley, and at Vernon, Windham County, the 
southeastern town of the State, the week of May 22. An adult had 
emerged on June 5 fhom pupa collected at Vernon, indicating the 
2-generation strain. Moderate abundance of larvae found in debris 
throughout the State. 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 26): Eirst eggs noted on June 3* 
These, however, showed the beginning of embryonic development, indi- 
cating that they had been deposited 1 or 2 days previously. In the 
vicinity of the college at Amherst the first eggs were hatching by 
June 8 or 9* 
Connecticut. N. Turner (June 19): Infestation very heavy in New Haven 
County. Less abundant than last year in the Housatonic Valley. 
One observation in Hartford showed fewer eggs than expected. 
Drought of the last month apparently favored oviposition, and 
apparently infestation will be heavier than usual. 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (June 26): R. W. Leiby 
noted newly hatched larvae of the corn borer, l/8 inch long, and 
a few \ inch long were commonly observed in Dutchess and Ulster

to show tassels. Eggs abundant. Pin-hole type of feeding of newly 
hatched borers common on leaves, noat of them being among unfolded 
blades of the corn bud. In one field in Ulster County eight borer 
moths observed in 10 minutes; stalks in this field already 100- 
percent infested, with many eggs unhatched. In Nassau County L. 
A. Carruth noted moth emergence probably completed; first-generation 
borers common, the largest about half grown. Experimental control 
treatments for first-generation borers nearly completed. He observed
