PERIODICAL CICADA ( Ti hie ina set) tendec im L.) 
C. 1, Willey (August 28); As observed on a trip from Staunton 
to Clifton Forge on July 14, damage "by this brood was heavy from 
Staunton to about 15 miles west. Through the mountains it seemed 
to peter out until within about 5 miles of Clifton Forge, where 
it was very heavy. 
E, W. Mendenhall (August 14); The seventeen-year locust, did 
considerable damage to young orchards and nursery stock in south- 
eastern Ohio, including Muskingum, Morgan, and Washington Counties, 
BAG-WORM ( Thyridopteryx ephemera.ef ormis Haw.) 
R. Dr Glasgow (August 26 )s The bagworm is unusually abundant 
this season at several places on Long Island. Near Jamaica 
numerous black locust trees along the roadside were almost de- 
foliated by these insects. 
J. N, Knull (August ll): The bagworm is exceedingly abundant 
on black locust in Cumberland County. 
L. A. Stearns (August 6): The bagworm has been infesting 
many of the common host plants throughout the State, It is 
unusually abundant. 
H. G. Walker (August 24); These insects are nearly full 
grown now and have caused considerable damage to many evergreen 
trees in the Norfolk area*. 
Z. P. Metcalf (August); Bagworms in Raleigh are the worst I 
have ever seen. 
W. L. Thompson (August 12); The infestation of the bagworm is 
local; only one grove has been observed where these worms are 
doing commercial damage. At the present time about 25 per cent 
of the twigs have succulent growth and approximately 90 per cent 
of that growth has been attacked in Lakeland. The majority of 
the larvae are about mature at the present time; the bags are 
on the main mature leaves and twigs. 
T. H. Parks (August 24); Many complaints have come in con- 
cerning bagworm injury to arborvitae and other evergreen plantings, 
also to some shade trees. The worms are now full grown and 
feeding is about over. There are many more present than usual. 
J. J. Davis (July 30); Bagworms one-third grown were sent in 
as abundant on evergreens at Richmond, July 25; also reported 
abundant on evergreens at Shelbyville, July 28. 
M. L. Didlake (August 24): Bagworms are very abundant on 
tamarix, cedar, and arborvitae in Fayette, Breathitt, Union, and 
Pike Counties,
