A WIREWOHM (H eterod eres laurentii Guer.) 
K, L. Cockerham (Ma^ 30): There has been injury by this 
wireworm to Irish potatoes in Baldwin County, Alabama. Injury 
to the commercial crops this spring is far greater than at any 
time since this species was discovered in southern Alabama.

shipped since May 15 has shown some "-worm injury." (June 4):

destroyed 20 acres in one field in Cass County and are now
