Manhattan. (August 20): Second generation maturing and more abundant at 
Manhattan and neighboring localities than for 10 years. An abundance of 
crabgrass, foxtail, and other grasses supporting enormous numbers of bugs, 
which will go into hibernation. Presence of bugs of all stages indicates 
a partial third generation. 
.Oklahoma. B. G. Dahms (August 21); An extremely heavy infestation of third-gen- 
eration nymphs in all sorghum fields in southwestern Oklahoma* 
EUROPEAN COEN BOEEB ( Pyrausta nubilalis - Hbn, ) • 
Connecticut. N, Turner (August 22); Nearly mature sec-ond-generat ion larvae pres- 
ent in maturing sweet corn ears. Infestation heavy but not in proportion 
to the enormous first generation. Many fields appear to be so heavily in- 
fested that the crop will be a total loss. 
New York, N. Y. State Coll. Agr. News Letter (August l4) ; On Long Island the 
peak of second-generation moth abundance seems to be past, as well as the 
peak of second-generation egg laying. Abnormally dry weather is apparent- 
ly hastening the end of activity. In Columbia and adjacent counties in 
eastern New York moth emergence is SO to 90 percent complete in earliest 
plantings of corn and 30 to 50 percent complete in later plantings. 
Second-generation moth abundance apparently at- its height, and new egg 
masses on late corn becoming increasingly numerous. Control begun last 
week. (August 2l): Infestation on Long Island serious, many of the cobs 
containing pupae. Moths still abundant and«new egg' masses still being 
found in Columbia County, while injury from second-generation borers i/I be- 
ginning to show in the tassels of developing sweet corn. On Staten Island 
a reporter says that this is the first year in his 'observations of J years, 
that noticeable damage has been caused to Corn. Infestation in some fields 
has averaged about 4o borers per 100 plants. Larvae are rapidly entering 
the plants in Ulster County. Eggs still found but much less plentiful. A 
few large larvae and one pupa found in field corn on August 18. Moths stil 
flying. 
New Jersey, E. Kostal (August 5) ‘ Practically absent in the vicinity of Morgan- 
ville, Monmouth County, after 2 years of heavy infestations, 
Virginia. H. G, Walker and L. D.- Anders on (August 25); A survey of Princess 
Anne County showed the insect to have spread along the sea coast from 
Pungo to the North Carolina line. All stages of the borer found in these 
fields. Infestation rather light, but found easily in all of the older 
plantings of corn examined. Infestation apparently very light or entirely 
absent in other parts of Princess Anne County,

North Carolina. H, G, Walker and L, D. Anderson (August 25); The European com 
„ borer has been found on the mainland in the northeastern part of Currituck 
County and also on Knotts Island,
