very noticeable and due to the fact that farmers are on the lookout 
for the European corn borer, we receive from one to twelve speci- 
mens almost every day. 
1.1. H. Swenk (July 25-August 25): During the period covered by this 
report, the presence of the stall-: borer in both field corn and 
sweet corn stalks has been very frequently reported. These reports 
have, come from the same area as the complaints of injury mentioned- 
in my last report. About 85 per cent of the complaints that have 
been received since July 25 have related to infestation of corn- 
stalks, the rest to miscellaneous thick- stemmed plants, including 
certain weeds such as sunflower and -.-did hemp. The specimens sent 
in during the past week have been mostly pupae rather than full- 
grown larvae as was previously the case.
