E» L«. Chambers (June 15): Our pest reporters from Winnebago, 
Fond du Lac, Racine, Kenosha, Jefferson, Roch, Greene, Grant, 
and Monroe Counties have reported cutworms on corn and garden 
crops v 
PALE WESTERN CUTWORM ( Porosa^rotis orthog;onia Morr.) 
C. N, Ainslie (June 22): This cutworm seems to be increasing 
in numbers this season and its injuries are more apparent 
than for the past two or three years. Fields of wheat have 
■been destroyed near Mott, and serious damage to corn has been 
reported from different localities. For some rea.son this 
species has not multiplied during the past two or three years 
but the check seems to have been removed and the worms are 
becoming more numerous, 
ARMY CUTWORM ( Cho/riza^rot is puxiliaris Grote) 
J, W, McColloch (June l): The moths of the army cutworm 
are reported abundant at Abbyville and Eureka. 
VARIEGATED CUTWORM ( Lycophotia mar^aritosa sauci a 
-, Hbn, ) 
W» J» Reid, Jr. (May 15): The cutworms were found to have 
tunneled their way into the young heads of approximately 5 
per cent of the plants in a 22-acre field of spring cabbage 
on the J. M« Harrison .farm in the immediate vicinity of 
Charleston. The infested plants are rendered unfit for use 
as a result of the attack.

LINED CORN BORER (Hadgn a fractilinea Grote) 
E L» Chambers (June 15): Timothy Sod land followed by 
corn was reported badly attacked in spots by the lined 
stalk borer which seems to be worse than last year when 
many stalks along the fence rows of fields in that vicinity 
were reported damaged, 
CORN EAR WORM ( lleliothis obsoleta Fab.) 
W„ A, Thomas (June 14): A few specimens of this insect 
were observed on snap beans on this date. On a near-by tomato 
field a rather heavy infestation had developed and considerable 
damage is being done by the larvae boring into the nearly 
mature fruit. Most of the injured fruit has developed rot 
and is a total loss.
