Georgia J. D. More (jtme 22): Reported frorn Calhoun as attacking vetch, 
corn, and cotton. 
Florida F. S. Chanberlin (August 21): Several fields of running Deans near 
Quir.cy are being seriously damaged by corr earworm larvae, which 
confine their attacks mainly to the pods. Field corn at this time 
is hardening and is unsuitable as food for this pest. 
STALK BOHSE (Par^ipema nebri s nitela Guen. ) 
Massachusetts A. I. Bourne (August 20): We have been finding from every lot of 
material of Par rhDcma nit ela which has been collected in this imme- 
diate vicinity, or has been sent in to us from other parts of the 
State, that the larvae are parasitized apparently to an unusually 
large percentage. 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (July 1G- August l): The stalk borer continued to be 
reported as injurious from -July 10 to 21. In a few cornfields the 
injury was serious. Two Cass County fields near the Otoe County 
line were thinned out quite perceptibly, a couple of fields in Wash- 
ington County were badly injured, and a Hamilton County cornfield 
was also thinned out quite seriously through the activities of this 
pest. Other reports were of injury to tomato plants and flowers. 
ARM71703M (C irphis unipu ncta Haw. ) 
Florida F. S. Chamberlin (August 2): A slight infestation of armyworms 
was observed upon bean foliage on August 2. 
Wisconsin E. F. Wilson (August 5): '.','e have had a serious outbreak of army- 
worms in the southern part of the State. 
FALL ARMY770BM ( Lanhy/ara frugiuerda S. & A. ) 
Kentucky K. Carman (August 23): Fall armyworm lias already appeared in Ken- 
tucky and is doing exceptional injury to corn in Christian County. 
I have had a number of specimens sent to me recently by a corres- 
pondent who is very anxious about checking the mischief. This 
insect generally appears here late in the season and only occasion- 
ally attracts attention because of serious mischief. Generally 
it works on rye and other plants of the same family. 
Mississippi H. W. Allen (August 23): Two heavy infestations of the southern 
grass worm have appeared at A. & M. College within the past week. 
In one, a meadow of Johnson grass of about 40 acres, the defoliation 
ranges from severe to complete. The worms are now beginning to 
develop the armyvorm habit. ITo damage to corn has as yet been 
noted.
