EUROPSAU CORN BORER ( Pyra.usta nubilalis Hbn.) 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (September 27): Last year the European corn borer 
was found in a patch of sweet corn in Racine County and in two fields of 
corn in Manitowoc and Sheboygan Counties. These infestations were apparent- 
ly cleaned up. However, this year the borer was found in these counties and 
seven additional counties. The infestations were extremely light, but 
indicated the presence of the insect over a wide territory. A list of the 
infested townships is as follows:

ALFALFA WEEVIL ( Hyp era postica Gyll.) 
Nevada. G. G. Schweis (September 19): The alfalfa weevil is very abundant at 
Eallon and Reno; many adults are present. 
California. A. E. Michelbacher (September 20): Throughout its entire range in 
middle California larvae of the alfalfa weevil are rather hard to find. This 
is particularly true of the Tracy and Pleasanton areas. In the region about 
Mies the larvae are mors abundant, although at the present time they are 
rather scarce owing to most of the alfalfa being cut for the fourth time. 
On the fourth crop in that area (Sept. 12) an average of 50 larvae were 
taken to 100 sweeps of the insect net.
