C. N. Ainslie (September 15): The adults of this beetle are found 
in numbers. Possibly the lace maturing of the corn, affording an 
extraordinary amount of late green silk, has been one factor in the 
abundance. They are feeding on helianthus and other flowers, also 
on alfalfa, and are in evidence everywhere. For a number of years 
the damage to corn has been negligible, very few fields of leaning 
or prostrate corn being observed. 
M. H. Swenk (September 3): Cases of serious damage in large corn- 
fields by the western corn rootworm were reported from Cuming and 
Douglas Counties during August. 
¥. E. Britton 'September 15): Apparently not heretofore recorded 
from Connecticut; attacking flowers of aster and calendula at Granbj 
SOUTHERN COPU ROOTWORM ( Diabrotica dn odecimpunctgta Fab. ) 
M. H. Swenk (September 3): A Platte County field that had been in 
oats and sweet clover last year, and was planted to corn May 18-20 
last, was heavily damaged during late July and early August by the 
southern corn rootworm, a pest that is not frequently seriously 
injurious in this State.

Geo . F. Knowlton (September 5): Leaf hoppers of many species are 
numerous on alfalfa this year. Three species of leafhoppers are 
very numerous on alfalfa, apple, and peach in Box elder and Cache 
Counties. Often 20 or more can be swept into a net at a single 
stroke. 
GARDEN WEBWORM ( Loxostege similalis G-uen . ) 
W. P. Flint (September): The garden webworm has appeared in abund- 
ance in some August fields of alfalfa in east-central Illinois. 11 
has been necessary to spray or dust some of these fields in order 
to prevent complete destruction by this web worm. 
PEA APHID ( Illinoi a nisi Kalt. ) 
Ceo. F. Knowlton (September 5): Numerous on alfalfa now, doing 
some damage. 
FALL ARMY.70RM ( Laphvana fruginerda S. & A. ) 
M. M. High (September 25): This insect was very abundant late in 
July and early in August on a number of crops including collards, 
corn, grasses, etc.
