is as serious as was anticipated from the surveys carried on last year. Ex- 
tensive campaigns are "being carried on throughout the infested districts. 
Scattered outbreaks were also reported from Iowa and Nebraska, and southward 
through Kansas and Oklahoma to Mississippi and Texas. Outbreaks are also re- 
ported from localities in Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada. In the upper Mississippi 
Delta airplanes were used in attempting to control the outbreak of hoppers. 
The "black cutworm, or so-called overflow worm, developed in outbreak 
numbers in the lowlands of southwestern Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. The clay- 
backed cutworm occasioned serious injury in central and northern Illinois, the 
pale western cutworm was troublesome in northeastern Colorado and north-central 
North Dakota, and the variegated cutworm has been reported from Virginia, 
Tennessee, and Missouri.

from Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Indiana, and Tennessee.

this insect was reported as still appearing in serious numbers in Ohio, through 
Indiana to central Illinois, and in parts of Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska, 
southward through Kansas to Oklahoma and Texas.

both sugarcane and corn in the Gulf States from Louisiana to Georgia and
