DIAMOND- BACK MOTH ( Plutella maculipennis Curt. ) 
V, J. Roid, Jr. (May 15): '.Torms were found to be attacking 
and seriously injuring one- third of the plants in a 22-acre 
field of spring cabbage on the J. M. Harrison farm in the imme- 
diate vicinity of Charleston. An average of three worms was 
found on each plant. The yoiing heads of the plants are being 
riddled by the worms, the plants suffering most being the 
younger ones which were set in the field to replace thoso 
killed by the winter freezes. Larvae of all sizes can be found 
on the plants. The moths are very numerous at this time. Re- 
ports of similar infestation of cabbage on other farms in the ' 
vicinity have come to the writer during the past few days,
