at Maple City and is reported- to "be quite plentiful in individ- 
ual fields, 
CHINCH BUG- ( Blissus leuc opt eras Say) 
J. R» Watson (August 20): Chinch ou c ;s have been fairly as 
injurious to St» Augustine grass lawns as usual this time of 
year, The householders in increasing numbers are substituting 
centipede grass for St. Augastine grass in their lawns as a result 
of the depredations of this insect.

CORN EAR V/OBM ( Heliothi s qb so let a Fab») 
M* N* . Taylor (August 7) J Scarce to date in Erie County, 
\i% P, Flint (August 21): There have been few seasons in the 
past when this insect has been as scarce is it is this season. 
Examinations in a large number of cornfields in east-central 
Illinois have failed to show a single ear of corn infested by this 
worm. To date no moths have been taken at bait traps or seen in 
the evening about flow* r beds, where they are usually quite numer- 
ous, 
C, H* Ainclic (August 14): Not for many years has there been 
less damage done 'oy the corn oar worm then during the present sea- 
son at Sioux City. Garden sweet corn th< t was planted early was 
injured severely by these larvae but field corn here and in 
southeastern South Dakota is almost entirely free from attack.
