IMPORTED CABBAGE WORM ( Pieris ra^ae L.) 
M. N. Taylor (August 7): This insect did considerable dam- 
. age in early plantings of cabbage in Erie County. 
W. P. Flint (August 21); This pest of cabbage is extremely 
abundant throughout central and northern Illinois. Soir.e re- 
cent examinations by Mr. Compton show as high as upwards of 
400 eggs on a single cabbage plant in the vicinity of Chicago. 
A number of plants which ware examined in a commercial field 
gave an average of 111 eggs per plant. 
E. L. Chambers (August 15): While cabbage and cauliflower 
were hard hit by this pest, unusually heavy losses of nastur- 
tiums growing in the yards and gardens were reported generally 
over the southern part of the State. 
L. W. Brannon (August 16): The imported cabbage worm is 
causing considerable injury to cabbage in the vicinity of 
Birmingham. 
CROSS-STRIPED CABBAGE WORM ( Svergestis rimosalis Guen.) 
W. A. Thomas (August 15): This insect is unusually abund- 
ant on collards in the home gardens in the Chadbourn section. 
Its attack seems to be confined to the tender buds of the 
plants, which are so completely destroyed that growth is 
stopped until supplementary buds are formed on the stalk near 
the injured area. These buds are usually formed after the 
larvae have stopped feeding. 
CABBAGE MAGGOT ( Hylemyia brassicae Bouche) 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (August 7): This insect is 
more serious than in many years in central and western New 
Y'ork, where the infestations in late cabbage seed-beds were 
very severe. (Abstract J.A.H. ) 
CABBAGE APHID (Brev icoryne b rassic ae L.) 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (August 7): ?his insect is re- 
ported subnormally abundant throughout the State. 
(Abstract J.A.H.) 
HARLEQUIN BUG ( Murgantia histrioni ca Hahn) 
A. C. Morgan (August 28): The harlequin bug„ which was so 
numerous last year, has not caused any complaints thus far 
this season.
