C. TJ. £ ins lie (June 27). "Greet flights of cutworm moths have 
been occurring everywhere in the Northwest. They appeared in 
Sictu: City "before I left in May; they were numerous in Forgo, 
N. Dale. , and were a nuisance at Dickinson, and also at Mott s N. 
Dei, where they V7ere said to ha've dimmed the street lights at 
one time by their numbers. The same phenomenon was noted at 
Bile Point some years ago, but the next year there was no undue 
increase in the number of cutworms in gardens," 
H. A, Cocley. "Cutworm moths of various species, but with the 
army cutworm predominating, have made their appearance in ■unpre- 
cedented numbers throughout central and eastern Montana during 
the last two weeks of June. The height of emergence of this 
species usually does not come until the first week in July. 
Very little damage by this insect was reported during -ipril and 
May, the time when the larvae are most active, while in sd me 
former years it has been the .cause of a great amount of damage, 
especially to winter vheat. " 
PAIS 'BSTSRN CUTWORM ( -Poroaagrotia orthogonia Morr. ) 
R. .A. Cooley. "This insect has about ceased its destructiveness 
to gra in strops , and is in the rather long quiescent period 
through which it passes previous to pupation about the middle 
of July. Jn a few counties in the nor tie rn part of the State 
more than 35 per cert of the total seeded acreage in grain crops 
has been destroyed, but on the whole the damage throughout the 
State this year has been much less than in 1920." 
ARMY 70RM ( Cirohis un inuncta Haw, ) 
M. H. Swenk (July 15). "During the third week in June there were 
numerous reports of heads of v7heat being stripped more or less 
by the first brood of the true army worm. Usually the worms 
merely work through the field, stripping a wide -swath, but in 
some cases as much as 50 acres were stripped. Some heads were 
completely eaten off, others had the awns of the heads eaten, 
and the berries more or less consumed, while in some fields onlj 
the awns were eaten off. By June 20 the injury was practic? "\~ 
over and the worms went into the ground to pupate. 
SPOTTED CUTWORM ( A^rotis c-nif:ru m I. ) 
W, T. Iff. Forbes (May SI). "Recently emerged moth taken st Ithaca." 
JOIHPTOHM ( Hcrmolita tritici Fitch) 
H. A. Gossard, "Jointworms average from 1 to 4 per cent infes- 
tation for most of the counties, though H nry County recorded 
25 per cent."
