BEET WEBWORM ( loxostege sticticalis L. ) 
Kansas. H. H. Waikden (April): A heavy flight of adults occurred at Hays 
on Aoril 22, approximately 6,000 specimens "being taken at the trap 
light. These are, no doubt, adults of the fall generation, the larvae 
of which caused such widespread injury to Rus e ian~thistle last fall. 
MONARCH BUTTSHFL7 ( Danau s menippe Ilbn. ) 
Maryland. J. A, Hyslop (April 30): The first adult of this year was ob- 
served flying aboo.t a lilac hedge on my farm at Avenel. 
WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp. ) 
Pennsylvania. H. S. Hodgkiss (Aoril 22): White grubs were reported abun- 
dant in new It.- plowed ground in Bedford County on April, 15. 
Maryland. J. A. Hyslop (April 27): The first adults of the season were 
collected on my farm at Avenel. The night was warm and cloudy, fol- 
lowed by rain. In Silver Spring the flight was so heavy as to inter- 
fere with a motion Picture performance. 
South Carolina. W. C. Nettles (Aoril 20): White grubs attacking lawns 
have been observed several times. 
Minnesota. A. A. G-ranovsky (Aoril 22): White grubs are still quite deep 
in the soil, ranging from lo to 26 inches below the surface, according 
to our last digging, made Aoril 10. The adults are close to the sur- 
face, usually within 2 or 3 inches of it. From the information on 
hand, we exoect a rather heavy flight of brood A June beetles and 
moderatel?" severe injury from white grubs of brood C. . Brood Bis very 
unimportant economically in most sections of the State. 
Iowa. H. E. Jaques (April 23): We are beginning to find a goodly number 
of May beetles. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (Aoril 23): Adults have been slow in coming to 
lights, owing to the low night temperatures. White grubs are less 
abundant in the soil than usual. 
Oklahoma. F. A. Fenton (Aoril 23): The first early May beetle was ob- 
served March 2b. Most of the specimens, have been identified as P. 
calceata Lee.
