LESSER CORN STaCK BORER ( Slasmopalpus lignosellus Zell.) 
\7, A„ Thomas (August 2U): The work of this insect was observed 
en about one-quarter sere of snap beans on a farm near the 
laboratory ( Ohadbourne ) . Appr oxima t sly ^>C per cent of the 
plants were injured, many of these having already died, some 
dying, and others showing little sign of growth. The larva 
enters the stalk at or near the surface cf the soil and tunnels 
both up and down the planS throughout its entire length. The 
larvae apparently migrate from one plant to another t causing 
severe drmage as. they go. Quite a number of specimens were 
found feeding within the stalk, while some were observed resting 
within the silken tube at the base of the plant. The larvae 
vary greatly in size, but the larger percentage are approximately 
half grown. A few dead specimens were observed in the stalks, 
apparently having been killed by some disease.
