SCREWOBM ( Cochlioiayia americana C, & P,) 
Oklahoma, D. C, Parman (June 20): Unofficial record^ indicat>e that the fly 
reached Meers on about J-une 12, about a week or 10 days later than normal, 
Tesas, D, C, Parman (June 20): As indicated by status-trap catches, the general 
population over the escarpment area, in southwestern Texas, is approximate! 
60 percent of last year’s population, and as that was rather low, it is in- 
dicated that this year’s population is about 40 percent of the average for 
the last 5 years. This year showed the lox^fcst May population during this 
5-year period. General population in this area for March was normal. Bar- 
ing the latter half of May on the lower escarpment a high population of 
1,206 C, americana was indicated in 1 local area for the trapping period. 
The central escarpment showed a peak population of 637» is indica,ted 
that the populations did not build up on the Edv;ards Pla,teati during May, 
peak ca,tches in the southern area amounting to 122 adults. As of June I 5 , 
ca,tches in traps along the lower escarpment show a tendency to^/ard de- 
; crease of population, the high catch being 3^5* Along the central escarp- 
ment there has boon a considerable increase in population, the high catch 
being 1,059* No verjr considorablc increase indicated in the Pla.teau regioi 
It is considered that the scrowworm problem has been loss severe this 
year than for several years, v/ith only -a fov' exceptions in local areas. 
Inquiries have r'ovealed that the high populations indicated by trap ca.tcliei 
locally have developed from infestations in late calves, Hocords indicate 
that migration of C, americana to the Edv/ards Plateau was about a week or 
, 10 days later than normal, ' , •
