L. Haseman (June 22); In several counties an outbreak of 
armyworms appeared. The wornis '"ere practically mature before 
any- of the farmers reported them, '"est central Missouri lias 
many heavily infested clover and alfalfa fields.' . The worms 
are .practically all of the pale variety this Tr ear. A few 
moths have already appeared (June 22) and practically all of 
the worms are .almost full -f ed^No migration occurred, owing to 
the excessive supply of vegatation where they .hatched. 
M. H. Swenk (May 15 - June 15): The month of May was cool 
and there were large flights of the moths of the armyworm 
beginning about May 22. The first report of ' such an outbreak 
came from Thayer County on June 16 where the' armyworms were 
damaging a rye field. This is a v ery early date for armyworm 
damage in Nebraska. For comparison armyworms of the first 
brood were reported as doing damage in 1921 on June 20, in 
1919 and 1927 on June 22, in 1912"on June 23, and in 1930 on 
June 28, and still later in other years. 
A. C. Morgan, J. U. Gilmore, and J. Milam (June 22): The 
true armyworm was the cause of considerable damage in Christian 
County, Ry., and also in Montgomery County, Tenh. Grain fields 
in many instances were completely defoliated and often half 
the immature heads were cut off.

St. Plant Bd. , Press Release (June 1): In 'Sunflower County, 
on one plantation of 200 acres, all oats were badly damaged 
by a worm which was thought to be the true armywor.i of the 
Northern States. Prof. Earned states that this is the first 
record of this insect assuming the arnry habit and causing so 
much damage in Mississippi. The worms were reported as numerous 
as one to each square inch. The damage occurred so suddenly 
that control measures were not used in time to do much good. 
Parasitic flies were observed attacking the worms in large 
numbers, and it is believed that no damage will occur from a 
later generation. 
P. L. Thomas (May 27): .The armyworm is still causing severe 
losses in 18 counties in north central Texas from Dallas County 
westward to Concho County * 
G. P. Knowlton (June l): Armyworms seriously damaged 3 acres 
of sugar-beets at Goshen. (June 6): The armyworm is causing
