Wisconsin F. C. Craighead (June 22): A letter from Goodman, June, 1932, 
reads: "A leaf eater or small green worm is attacking the better 
stands of maple this season. Where the leaf eaters n re most 
prevalent the leaves on full-aged trees are 50 to 75 per cent 
consumed, the upper leaves of saplings are in like condition, and 
leaves on lower branches are all eaten. The leaves on seedlings 
are eaten right back to the stems. The leaf eater was at work 
in milder form in the early summer of 1931 in the Sawyer timber. 
The growth of the infested trees will be retarded this year." 
(Report made by Mr. Flanders of Oconto June 4): "A small 
green worm has appeared in the hardwood timber at Oconto and is 
rapidly denuding many maple trees, leaving no foliage whatever. 
The foliage on several acres has been destroyed in various spots 
several miles apart. These worms also appear' on other hardwood 
timber, but ""especially on the maple." (Det. as Paleacrita ver-
