today* Majority are in the third and fourth instanswith a considerable 
number of second instar still present. This situation has forced the 
nymphs to migrate as the small grains are being harvested* Some injury 
still resulting from concentrations of overvdntered adults on small 
sorghum plants* 
Arkansas* D* Isely (June I3): More important than usual in counties in the 
northeastern delta of the State* ranging from near the Arkansas Biver 
on the south and northward to the Missouri State line* Injury was not 
severe, but the b\igs may be found in nearly all cornfields in this 
part of the State* 
Oklahoma* 0. P. Stiles (June 26): Unusually abundant throughout the north- 
eastern part of the State despite the heavy rains* The counties most 
heavily Infested are Okmulgee* Creek* Bogers, Muskogee* Bowata, Craig* 
Ottawa, Mayes, and Wagoner, 
B* C, Uahms (June 2U); Owing to weather conditions* the bugs 
are about 10 days later in development than is normal. First-generation 
adults were first observed on Juno 5 and eggs from these were found on 
June 18* Adults have been flying from small-grain fields to corn and 
sorghums since about June 10, and this migration is almost complete* 
Infestation is spotted in southwestern Oklahoma and only local injury is 
ejected* 
F. A, Fenton (June ,2U)j Migration began in the vicinity of 
Stillwater during the last week in May, and is continuing at present* 
Most of the insects are in the fourth or fifth instar and a small 
proportion have reached the adult stage* 
COBB EAE WDBM ( Heliothis armigera Hbn* ) 
Georgia* T. L, Bissell (June 22) t In Griffin the larvae are half to full 
grown and are destroying corn tassels, before they open* Eggs are 
abundant on silks* 
Mississippi* C. Lyle (June 25)s Beports indicate that corn has been attacked 
in the southern part of the State* 
Kansas* H. B, Bryson (June 25) l Eggs are abundant on the silks of early 
sweet corn* Larvae have caused some injury to the curl* 
Texas, K, P* Ewing, et al, (June 8); In examining 1,000 silks in 10 upland 
fields in McLennan County, eggs were found to range from I3 to 118 per 
100 silks, averaging 47*2 eggs per 100 silks* Larvae were found feeding 
in tips of silking' ears at the rate of from 1 to 4 per 100 plants, 
averaging 1,8 per 100 ears* (June 22): In examining 500. ears of corn 
in bottom fields, 370 were found injured* Injury ranged from 64 to 95 P©r 
100 ears, averaging 74. In examining 5OO ears in upland fields. Injury 
was found to range from 73 to 97 P®r 100 ears, averaging 82* At Biesel,
