of leaves- on the stalks, allowing the heads to mature .satisfactorily. The 
harvest has not "been interfered with. 
. CUTWORMS (ijoctuidae) 
Florida.- J. R. Watson (July 28): The semi-tropical army worm ( Prodenia eridania 
Cram. ) is showing up in some sections of the State. As usual, it is attacking 
grass as its first choice. 
Maine. C. R. Phipps (July-27)t ' Cutworms (Ag rotis ypsilon Rott.) are very abundant* 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (July 23): A widespread outbreak of Prodenia praefica C-rote 
has been reported from Lane County southward, including Jackson and Klamath 
Counties and also a local outbreak in Yamhill County of Lycophotia mar^aritosa 
saucia Hbn. in 20 acres of alsike and 10 acres of red clover. 
' WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp. ) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (July 25): White grubs are moderately to very a- 
bundant in One potato field, where 22 grubs to a hill were collected. These 
fieldS;Were in sod last year. White grubs were so abundant and doing _ so much 
injury to a field of Cobblers that it was necessary to dig the field two or 
three weeks early in- order to salvage as much of the crop as possible. 
Rhode Island. A. E. Stene (July 23): White grubs are very abundant in some places 
North Carolina. R. A. St. George (July): Baring June larvae were active in the 
State Porest Nursery seed < eds located near Clayton, where they caused serious 
injury to loblolly and shortleaf pine seedlings. During July many of the grubs 
• were found to be parasitized by what may prove to be one of the robberflies. 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (July 20): Newly set strawberry beds have suffered from more 
than the usual white-grub injury. In some cases beds have been torn up and 
planted to other crops because of the injury. In a field near Cleveland 
aster roots were being seriously damaged and many of the plants were dying. 
This ground had grown up to weeds last year. 
E. W. Mendenhall (July 14): White grubs are numerous on gladiolus in a 
nursery at Gore, Hocking County. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (July 25); White grubs of Brood B were reported injuring 
strawberry plants at Russell and corn at Lexington. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers and assistants (July): June beetles are stripping 
deciduous trees in many parts of the State. (Abstract, J.A.E. ) 
Minnesota. A. A. Granovsky (July 11): The mass flight of June beetles is over; 
the maximum flight occurred about the middle of June. The adults are still 
found, but not in large numbers. Contrary to common opinion the oviposition 
readily takes place in cornfields free of weeds as well as in well cultivated 
raspberry patches. The eggs and newly hatched larvae were found in such 
situations without difficulty, especially near the oak trees.
