MORMON CRICKET (Ajiabrus simplex Raid.) 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (June): Mormon crickets have "been sent in fron 
6 localities in western and central South Dakota. In no instance, 
however, have the crickets occurred in sufficient numbers to warrant 
control measures. 
Utah. C. J. Sorenson (June 19): Mormon crickets have been reported from 
Uintah County and 5 niles west of Paradise in Cache County. 
CUTWORMS (Noctuidae) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 25): On May 18 our attention was called 
to very severe damage "by cutworms attacking fields of set onions in 
Hampshire County. One farm had at least 2 acres so badly damaged that 
it was a question of whether the crop would be worth carrying through. 
Connecticut. W. E. Britton (June): Cutworms are present in vegetable crops 
in the usual numbers and have caused the usual amount of damage through- 
out the State. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (June 22): The overflow worm ( Agrotis ypsilon Rott.) 
was abundant in bottom land along the Wabash River, from Clinton south, 
and along the Ohio River near Svansville. 
Wisconsin. C. L. Fluke (June 20): Lined cornstalk borer ( Oligia f ractilinea 
Grote) has been found infesting young corn in Brown County. 
E. L. Chambers (jvme 2U) : Severe cutworm outbreaks have been 
observed on light, sandy soil throughout the State. Many fields of corn 
had to be replanted where control measures were not practical. Severe 
damage v/as reported to tobacco, garden crops, small grain, and corn 
during the first 2 woeks of June. About a dozen counties in the central 
part of the State were supplied with poison for control campaigns. 
Minnesota. A. G. Ruggles (June 20): Cutworms are moderately abundant. 
North Dakota. F. Gray Butcher (June): Pale western cutworms ( Porosagrotis 
orthogonia Morr.) have been causing considerable damage to cereal crops 
in the western portion of the State, especially in Burleigh, Morton, 
Stark, and Burke Counties. There have been several reports of almost 
complete destruction of large acreages of wheat and other crops. Recent 
observations indicate that the larvae arc practically full grown and 
further extensive injury is not anticipated. 
South Dakota. H. C. Severin (June 20): Cutworm damage was more severe this 
year than normally. The damage is about over at the present time. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (June 20): On May 21 and June 7, respectively, from 
Hooker and Morrill Counties came reports of the presence of enormous
