ARMYWOEM (Ci rphis unipuncta ttavr. ) 
Indiana 
J. J. Tavis (Lay 10): 
April 25 at Lafayette, 
First adults of this moth were noticed 
There has been cool weather since. 
Adults were again noticed the night of Kay 10. (May 25): The 
armyworm, Cirph is uni-ouncta , has been reported (I.Iay 20) from 
several localities in Fulton County in northern Indiana. In 
all cases so far the worms were found in low lying meadow and 
pasture "land. 
Illinois W. P. Flint (May 22): A fairly heavy flight of armyworm moths 
occurred in the central and northern parts of the State during 
the last week of April. Caged specimens laid unusually large 
numbers of eggs. The worms are just beginning to hatch in the 
field and one report of injury has been received from the north- 
ern part of the State. The moth flight was not as heavy as in 
1924" and although scattered damage is expected we do not look 
for a serious general outbreak.

the turning 6f vetch. This is one of our rather serious insect 
pests following this highly desirable legume. 
E. W; Earned (April 13): Although this insect probably always 
causes considerable damage in this State each spring, this year 
it seems to be more abundant than usual in certain places. Under 
date of April 13 a large planter at Natchez sent one of these in- 
sects to thisoffice, stating that it was "working great damage to 
stands of corn in the black lands of the swamp. They get into 
the corn just as it gets above the ground. It has destroyed 
the stand upon 300 acres for us." 
SOUTHERN CORN LEAF BEETLE. ( Mvochrous denticollis Say) 
R. W. Karned (April 11): A correspondent at Eahomy, in Bolivar 
County, sent a number of beetles to us on April 11 that have been 
identified by J. ;i. Langston as Llyochrous denticollis . The corres- 
pondent states that these beetles were on his ccrn ard that he found
