GARDE1T T3E70KM ( Lpxostege simiielis Suen. ) 
Roger C. Smith 'July 1-15): 77e had a large State-vide outbreak^ 
last year and we have predicted lo:al outbreaks this year. It is 
plentiful in some fields at Manhattan and Emporia. 
F. C. Bishopp (June): During the first half of June the webworm 
appeared in destructive numbers in Pallas and other north Texas 
counties. In Dallas County it was estimated that 1 per cent of 
the cotton acreage was Infested and. most of this very seriously- 
damaged. Considerable poisoning with calcium arsenate was resort- 
ed to. 
PEA APHID ( Illinois , pisi Kalt. ) 
Rog^r C. Smith (Apr., 12-May 2): This insect has been present in 
damagi; 5 numbers in the Kaw Valley for the last three springs. 
It appeared on alfalfa in -damaging numbers the spring of 1921 for 
the first time. At Manhattan on ,the south side of a building; in 
the Kaw Valley several fields were destroyed as well as in Lincoln 
County. 
. FAIL ARMYWORM ( LaThy -ma f rugiwerda S.; & A. ) 
T. E. Hollqway and. W. E. Ealcy (July 3): This pest had defoliated 
alfalfa, and had partly defoliated corn and sugar cane. Only a 
few acres were observed infested. Few larvae are nor; on the 
plants, and they have apparently left to pupate. These observa- 
tions were made at Pac eland.. Hear Houma the came day larvae were 
frequently observed on sugar car.e, but were not doing much damage. 
It is likely that the pest will be controlled ~oi T parasites. 
GEEEE' CLOVSP WORM (P lathypena scabra Fab. ) 
E. W. Earned (June 20): An insect that is probably the green 
clover worm has teen reported as seriously damaging alfalfa in 
Bolivar County. 
ZEBRA CATERPILLAR ( Ceramica mcta Harr. ) 
J. J. Davis (July 22): In a few fields of sweet clover, notably 
one field in Randolph County, the zebra caterpillars were abund- 
ant. They were hardly abundant enough to damage the crop, however 
VARIEGATED CUTWORM ( lycophotia margaritosa Haw. ) 
W. P. 1'iint (July 21): This cutworm has been more than usually 
abundant in clover and alfalfa. .It lias doubtless reduced the 
yield of hay from both these crops, althov.gh no cases have been 
reported where fields have been destroyed.
