ears and "bores into the stalk of the corn plant. It is not 
uncommon, to find as high as four or five worms to one corn 
plant,'. Our attention was called to this "by Mr, H, R, McLean, 
County Agriculture Commissioner of San' Diego County. 
: ' .ARMYWORM ( Cirphis unipuncta Haw,) 
H. ff. Walker (July 24): Although the first generation of the 
armyworm did considerable damage in the Norfolk section, the 
second-generation larvae have not been observed in the field. 
This would seem to indicate that the parasites and predators 
of the arnyworm had greatly reduced their numbers. The second 
generation of larvae reared in the insectary are now nearly 
full grown, 
T. H, Parks (July 21) J The armyworm outbreak extended between 
June 20 and July 3, A high percentage of the larvae were para- 
sitized but the moths emerged during the middle of July and were 
attracted to lights. Good results were secured from the appli- 
cation of poisoned bran mash bait and not much corn was destroy- 
ed on farms where this Was used. The, greatest area of infesta- 
tion covered parts of six counties in the south central part of 
the State, Outlying reports came from some counties in south- 
western Ohio, 
C. M, Packard (July 6): Outbreaks of the armyworm were reporter 
from a number of places in the southern half of Indiana in early 
June. Excellent results were obtained with poisoned bran mash 
spread broadcast. The worms developed in timothy, barley, wheat, 
and rye fields, principally in the lower or richer spots which 
apparently had been most attractive to the- ovipositing moths 
early in the spring. The crops were seriously injured or entirel; 
ruined in a number of such areas. Migration to adjacent young 
corn and resulting injury to it was also observed. 
Adult moths reared from both Indiana and Kentucky material 
proved to be the true armyworm ( Cirphis unipuncta Haw,). Several 
tachinid and two hyrienopterous parasites were reared, Parasitisi 
was very heavy in Indiana and it seems doubtful if the next 
generation of worms will be seriously abundant. Parasites were 
also very abundant at Shelbyville, Ky., but seemingly not so much 
so as in Indiana, Many apparently healthy pupae are in the grounc 
at Shelbyville and a sizeable second generation of worms this yea] 
is possible, 
J, J. -Davis (July 25): The armyworm appeared in destructive 
numbers in isolated points throughout the State, Definite reports 
were received as follows: Damaging rye, corn, timothy, etc., at 
Madison, Aurora, Logansport, Leroy, and in eight townships in 
Rush County where wheat was the principal crop damaged, 
C. M. Packard (July 6):' An outbreak near Shelbyville, Ky., 
visited June 17 and 23, More extended injury to barley seen in 
this area. The worms had finished feeding in some of the fields. I
