Stewart Lockwood (June 27). "Reports have been received from 
widely scattered areas of the State that wircwerms were damaging 
wheat, corn, and potatoes. From the reports it would seem that 
the places are suffering from a heavier inf estaniibn than we have 
had for years past." 
H. German (July 6). "Reports that wireworms of two species are 
working on the underground parts of young corn, sometimes being 
accompanied by the southern c cm rootworm, and in some fields 
by one of the corn webwerms. T'ie injury is sometimes ascribed 
by farmers to the so-called corn budworm, the fact that there 
are three different insects at work on the plants having been 
overlooked. The wireworms involved are Molanotus 8jg.o©£d

V, L. V/ildermuth (July 6). "Doing a remarkably large amount of 
damage to Peruvian alfalfa of Zenor Ranch, Tempe, Ariz. One 
plant was examined in the laboratory and found to have 17.3 per 
cent of the pods infested. It is interesting to note that of 
these infested pods 95 per cent contained parasites. This is 
about the usual rate of parasitism of the second brood and large- 
ly accounts for the fact that this insect has never become a 
serious pest.
