County, 65 cutworms- were found in and under an old cornstalk 
lying on tho ground. These hordes, of "vorns, however, gradually 
reached maturity, for the most part, without completely destroy- 
ing the growing crops, and these are now recovering, in large 
part, from the injury, 
During April injury by this cutworm appeared more or less in 
counties to the east of the heavily infected area, but the damage 
has not been important. The counties especially reporting injury 
are Lincoln, Kearney, and Buffalo Counties, in the Platte Valley, 
and are almost wholly related to damage in alfalfa fields. At 
the present time complaints of injury by the army cutworm have 
entirely ceased. 
Mississippi R. W. Earned (May 2l): Inspector h\ D. Peets with headquarters 
at Laurel. Jones County, reports under date of May 12 as follows: 
"Cutworms are doing considerable damage on cotton in this section." 
The. specimens that he sent in with this note have been identified v 
by H. W. Allen as the granulated cutworm, ITelt'i a annexa . and the 
eha greened cutworm, F~lt."a loalefida . 
Kansas J. W. McColloch (May 22): The Kansas Crop Bulletin reports wide- 
spread damage from cutworms in corn over most of the State. We 
have received reports of injury in Atchison, Saline, Rooks, Geary, 
and Riley Counties. " Afore abundant as compared with an average 
year. It is also of interest to note that moths (probably of the 
army cutworm) are , very abundant in Marshall , Cloud, Riley, Pratt, 
and' Sedgwick' Counties. " They are especially troublesome in houses. 
Texas C. H. Gable (April 21): "A most unusual flight of C horizagrotis 
auxi lisris Grote has occurred this month at San Antonio. Reports 
from various parts of the county state that people have suffered 
great annoyance by thousands of the moths getting into the houses 
at night. 
Montana W. C. Cook (May 22): Porosa gretis orthogo nia larvae are quite 
common in south- central Montana and we may look for trouble next 
sprang if the weather is favorable. Chcriz agrotis a uxiliaris is 
present in considerable numbers ail over central Montana but there 
has been little damage. This species is now pupating. 
Idaho Claude Wakeland (April 30); Several hundred acres in south-central 
Idaho have been heavily infested with the western cutworm that has 
held the alfalfa back and Mr. Tvhitehead, our extension entomologist, 
has found that this condition has been generally confused with win- 
ter killing. 
Don B. Whelan (May 7): I have received a number of specimens of 
the army cutworm, Chorizagrctis auxiliaris Grote, from Jerome County 
where they were injuring alfalfa. These specimens were sent in 
by the extension entomologist.
