SPOTTED CUTWORM (Agrotis c-nigrum L . ) 
A. I» Bourne (August 23): The spotted cutworm has done more 
injury on the cranberry bogs than in any previous year. We 
find that this insect is most likely to attack bogs that are 
bared of their winter flowage very late in May or in early 
June. It has cleaned up the crop of more than 150 acres 
of bog here this season, reducing the prospective crop by fully 
10,000 barrels.

few reports of its feeding on the foliage of young fruit
