Missoiori L. Haseman (June 20): A few scattered complaints have been received 
showing this post to "be present though not especially serious. 
CUTUOEIvlS (Noctuidae) 
E. M. Patch (Jime 13): At Ifepleton on J-ane 13, 2| acres of oats 
were pretty well exit do".7n by A g-roti s yps ilon Eott. Le,rvae at that 
date were about l/2 to 3/4 inch. A 15- acre grain field is evidently 
threatened. Oats are 4 inches high. Crows a.re feeding greedily 
night and morning on the cu.tworms but they are not touching the 
grain. 
A. li Bourne (June 24): Cutworms are Duch raore provalent and doing 
more damage throughout the State than for the last few years. Thsy 
are particxLarly bad here in the Connecticut Valley in tobacco fields; 
both the subs-orface injury and that done by the climbing specie '^ are 
unusually severe on 5'"oung newly-set plants. Tlie attach i& so severe 
as to be cai\sing very general anziety on the part of growers. 
New York A. B, Buchholz (June 14): .Prom the damage I have seen in Columbia 
County to ?pirden and field crops, and from the reports I have re- 
ceived, I would judge tbat there is what night be called an epidemic 
of cutworms. 
Michi^n R. H. Pettit (June 19): CutY/orms are worse than usual. 
Ohio H. A, Gossard (June 20): Cutworms have been very abundant, but 
since the weeds and succ^alent plants of all kinds hare been like- 
wise abundant they have had plenty of forage and h-a.ve borhered 
^rden plants less tlian in some years when "obey were not so plenti- 
ful. 
J.JJ.JDavis (J^ano 21): ::he Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company reports 
extensive injury to sugar beets on June 14 at Auburn, Ind. , and Eock- 
ford, Ohio, and other parts of northern Indiana. Observations in- 
dicate injury in fields which were in red clover and timothy sod 
last year. "^lere fields were in alfalfa and sweet clover no losses 
have been observed. Cutworms were also reported from Elkhart June 
3, cutting off grape shoots at the ground. 
R. L. 77ebster (June 13): There is damage on clover and timothy sod, 
spring plowed and seeded to flax in Cass and Richland Counties. This 
is not the pale western catworm. The area involved is 80 per cent 
on one field in Cass County. 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (l.']ay 15- June 15): Some reports of injury to yo\uig corn 
by cutworms have been received br.t, except for an area in the sandy 
soil of Holt Co-anty, injury by cutworms to corn was, on the whole, 
^lesa^^than normal.
