On June 15 N. D. Peets,,of Laurel, sent in a large number of cut- 
worms with the statement, "These cutworms are doing considerable 
damage to soybeans. I found from 1 to 7 cutworms inmost of the 
hills examined. These were determined by H. W. Allen as mostly 
the. granulated cutworm, Feiisia annexa , with some of the shagreened 
cutworm, Feltia male! Ida , among them. 
Oregon Don C. Mote (April 22): The. county agent of Baker County reports 
gray cutworm doing serious damage to alfalfa on one ranch. The 
worms are present in all sizes. This cutworm did heavy damage 
15 years ago, feeding up till the middle of June according to

BRONZED CUTVOHM ( Nephelodes miniar.s Guen.) 
Ohio Herbert Osborn (May 28): .During the last week or two we have 
had numerous reports in pasture and meadow lands of cutworms, or, 
as they have sometimes been termed, "armyworms ." In two cases 
where specimens have been submitted, these have proved to be the. 
bronze cutworm, Nochelodes minians . 
H. A. Gossard (June 23): The bronze cutworm has, of course, 
ceased damage in central Ohio. We estimated that from 4,000 
to 6,000 acres of pasture in Licking County and surrounding 
counties '"'ere completely devoured by this insect. Since a 
polyhedral disease was present among them, we are not expecting 
any heavy brood c.f moths this summer and fall. 
PALE WESTEBN CUTWOJM ( Porosagrot is crt hogon ia Morr;) 
North Dakota C. N. Ainslie (June 18) : One of the interesting facts connected 
with the t'eaporaiy (?) subsidence of the pale Western cutworm in 
western North Dakota is the almost total disappearance of Calosoma 
adults in the wheat fields of that region. These predacious 
beetles multiplied during the recent cutworm outbreak and were 
common inmost fields, while their larvae attacked the cutworms 
underground. At present they are very rarely seen.

antly as far to the eastward as Lancaster County.
