C. N. Ainslie (July 1): Porosa^rotis ortho^or.ir- Morr. is 
again multiplying after a subsidence of several years. Fossi- 
bly the steady cold of the past winter has contributed t o its

Nebraska, in an area including the Elkhorn Valley counties 
from Cuming to Holt Counties, continued until the end of June, 
although in ftother parts of the State injury ended eady i n 
June. In Elkhorn Valley corn was cut off an inch or s o under 
the ground. The cutworms are neither the glassy nor the pale 
western species, which indicates a third species of subterran- 
.i cutting habits. Similar injury -as-reported from Cedar

by June 25.

T. H. Parks (July 35): The annual wheat-insect survey has 
been completed and the Hessian fly found to be much less 
prevalent than uaual . The only county found to have a s eri- 
ous infestation is Butler, which now has 55 per cent of the 
straps infested. The average infestation for the 54 counties 
surveyed is 5.4 per cent compared with 15.5 per cent for he 
State last year. This is a great reduction for most sections. 
In some north-central and northwestern counties not a s 
specimen could be found during the day's search -hen from 900 
to 1,000 straws were carefully examin ... 
The following are the percentages of straws found infested
