C. L. CorTriLns (^uly-20): The "nost interesting insect outbreak 
of the past Tionth'-has bee"i that of the sugar beet webworm. This 
insect has been ^resent in outbreak numbers particularly in the 
north central area of the State. The unusual and, to tie, en- 
tirely new condition was the migration of the v:or-r, into com- 
mercial bean fields where serious damage was done. This beaa- 
field infestation seems to be secondary, rather than primary, 
as we know, of no instance where moths laid eggs in the bean 
fields. Apparently the only danger to beans occurs when fields 
accidentally lie in the path of migration. Then the beans 
seem to be a very 'acceptable food. 1c shall be interested to 
know if other entomologists in the sugar-beet webworm area have 
observed this phenomenon. 
3HET LEAPHOlPkl (Eutcttix tenellus 3ak. )

Colorado 
0. F. Znowlton (July 25): . The beet leafhopper is moderate 
to very abundant in the northern part of the State. Some 
areas have been severely damaged in northern Utah. 
C. F. Gillette (July 22): The beet leafhopper is scarce. 
There are practically none.

SOD '."vSJJOIL'lS (Crambidae) 
Connecticut D. S. Lacroix (June 27): Larvae of a crambid were very 
abundant on one tobacco plantation in 'Jindsor. This is the 
first damage to this cro"> that I have seen. The same or a 
closely allied species was found seriously girdling asters 
in "Jindsor on the same date. In both cases the land was in 
hay or wild grasses last year. 
CUTTO2MS (Noctuidae) 
Connecticut D. 3. Lpcroix (July 20 — 21): Three serious infestations 
of these cutworms (probably A^rotis c- nigrum L.) have devel- 
oped in the last few days. In each case the worms attacked 
tobacco near fields of ti-nothy which had just been cut, and 
in every case the timothy was sowed last year. As many as 
35 to 50 larvae could be picked up under one tobacco plant. 
The tobacco infested is broad leaf.
