parts of eastern Colorado. 
G. F. Knowlton and M. J. Janes (April 19): Eggs have not 
commenced hatching in northern Utah. An examination of the 
egg-laying grounds in the foothills west of Trenton showed 
mortalities varying from 30 to 100 per cent, with a survival 
of 70 per cent in the most favorable area. Beetle larvae 
were feeding upon most of the eg^ - masses that were in good 
condition.

hatching in very large numbers at Big Horn. 
CUTWORMS (N ctuidae)

in newly set tobacco in Gadsden County. 
D. Isely (April 23): Cutworms are scarce in Washington

M. H. Swenk (March 20 to April 20): From April 9 to 20 
many farmers in a large area in east-central Nebraska reported 
that serious daiiage was being done to alfalfa by the dark- 
sided cutworm (Euxoa messnria Harr. ) working on the crowns 
of the plants, cutting off the young green shoots as fast as 
they started. The older alfalfa fields were first affected, 
the cutworms later moving into newer fields. Alfalfa was the 
chief crop attacked, but the cutworms were also working free- 
ly on sweet clover, and in Platte County were injuring wheat
