N. Y. State Coll. of Agr., Weekly Hews Letter (June): A. W. 
Rawlins reports that wireworms arc working in potato seed 
pieces in Wyoming County* C. L. Messer, jr., reports that in 
one field where the stand was uneven, ."underground stalks were 
examined and were found to "be chewed, probably by wireworms, 
as the field had been in sod several years and was not fall- 
plowed in Cayuga County. The wheat wireworm ( Agriote s mancus 
Say) was seriously infesting tomato plantings in western New 
York. In one field in Genesee County 20 per cent of the plants 
were killed by this insect. (Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
C. A. [Thomas (June 23): Probably because of the cool weather 
in May wireworms have caused considerable injury in Pennsylvania 
so far this season. A survey in mid-May to mid- June showed 
that A. mancus was destructive to corn and oats in Allegheny, 
Mercer, Crawford, and Erie Counties. The above and Mclanotus 
communis Gyll. and Pheletes agonus Say are the three principal 
economic wireworms of this State. The drought of last season 
was evidently no deterrent tc this year's wireworm activity.
