C. H. Erannon (June 26): The larger corn-stalk borer is 
causing widespread damage to corn over the State. 
J. R. Watson (June 22): The larger corn stalk "borer is do- 
ing considerable damage to corn in fields above Monticello 
where rotation of crops is not practiced. The damage has 
been aggravated by dry weather (J.W.Walker). 
COM BILLBUGS (Sjohejipjphorus spp.) 
R. Hutson (June 15): On June 15 I saw an infestation by 
one of the billbugs at Alicia, where these pests were taking 
about one-third of a crop of 80 acres of corn. 
H. C. Severin (June 10): Sphenophorus aequalis G-yll. is 
reported at Wnite Lake attacking corn. 
SOD WEBWORMS ( Crambus spp)) 
T. K. Parks (June 24): There was more damage to corn dur- 
ing June from Cr ambus larvae than I have ever seen in one 
year. The injury was general over the State and lasted un- 
til almost the end of the month. 
J. J. Davis (June 24): Webworms (Crambidae) were more often 
reported attacking corn than any other insect. Reports were 
received from May 23 to June 12 from Bluffton, Crawfordsville, 
Decatur, Franklin, Greenfield, Logansport, Matthews, Pittsboro, 
Portland, and Tipton. Many other reports were received ^oy 
telephone fro" Tippeca.no e and adjoining counties. 
J. H. Bigger (June 15): A very heavy moth flight of leather 
colored sod webworms, Cr ambus trisectus Walk., was noted con- 
tinuing from June 2 to June 10 in western Illinois. This 
flight was observed during night driving. 
W. P. Flint (June 20): Sod webworms have been reported 
throughout central Illinois as causing s erious injury. In 
many cases the injury has occurred in fields which were in 
oats in 1930 and which had become very grassy by fall. Very 
heavy flights of adults are taking place at the present time, 
the species most abundant being C. trisectus . 
C. J. Drake (June 27): Sod webworas (two species) are ex- 
tremely abundant at Toledo, many corn fields having been in- 
jured. 
W. A. Price (June 25): Sod webworm has caused much damage 
to corn and tobacco at Nlcholasville, Muir, Litchfield, Tolles- 
boro and Woodlawn. The moths are very abundant. They can be 
gathered by the quart about porch lights at night in Lexing- 
ton. They clog radiators of machines at night.
