E. H. Pettit (July l): : Yesterday there appeared the first 
armywOrm outbreak for Michigan for this year. It occurred at 
the Game Farm near Mason and about 20 acres of wheat were in- 
volved. (July 10): Armyworns have appeared in Presque Isle, 
Mason, Grand Traverse, and Ingham Counties. The attacks have 
not boon so severe as at some times in the past, but considerable 
damage has been done. 
Daily Drovers Telegram (June 23): Severe and widespread out- 
breaks of armyworms have been discovered in southeastern Missouri, 
particularly in Scott County, according to Plant Commissioner 
K. C. Sullivan of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. 
C. M. Packard (July 6): In southern Tennessee some damage 
from the armyworn continued into first week in June. First pupae 
were observed in the field June 1 and practicably al^hr.d 
pupated by June 12, The first adult in -vl;*, .cagel/ June 4. H. G. 
Cress, County Agent of Marshall County, put on a county-wide 
control campaign with poisoned bran broadcast over entire fields 
where infestation was present. This effort was so successful 
that the only loss in the county was to spring-planted clover 
and timothy in grain fields. In other counties where no such 
control effort was made there was much damage to oats, rye, 
barley, wheat, and corn. High parasitisn by tachinids was 
observed in all localities. (C. Benton) 
: FALL ARMYWORM (Laphy^ma frugir>erda S.& A.) 
J. E. Watson (July 24): The most striking and newest develop- 
ment of the past month has been an outbreak of the fall armyuom. 
The outbreak has been very severe in the everglades (E. K. Lob dell), 
and locally severe as far north as Pinellas and Polk Counties. 
In the latter counties it has been mostly confined to crab grass. 
The worms are just appearing about Gainesville. 
W. E. Hinds (July 25): The grass worm is now maturing in at 
least the second generation and complaint of light infestation 
on several hundred acres of sugarcane was received from West 
Baton Eouge Parish on July 17. Examinations showed that most 
of tho larvae had entered the ground for pupation. Those re- 
maining were full-grown and a very large percentage was para- 
sitized, We do not anticipate serious injury from the next 
generation.
