abundant in pasture and potato field near Louisville.

CUTWORMS ( Noctuidae ) 
Florida. F. S. Chamborlin (April 23): The worm, wet weather in January 
favored the growth of green vegetation on tobacco land at Quincy, 
Gadsden County. For this reason, it was probable that cutworm infesta- 
tion on newly set tobacco plants this spring would be heavier than 
usual. Observations made during the latter part of April indicate, how- 
ever, that the infestations arc only slightly greater than normal. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (April 26) : Climbing cutworms are beginning to show 
some activity in the northern end of the State, where they have been 
quite destructive in recent years. Observations indicate that they 
are less abundant than last year, but still sufficiently numerous to 
require active control in orchards. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (April 22): Cutworm activity became noticeable early. 
Reports of injury to fruit trees have been received from Berrien County. 
Tennessee. L. B. Scott (April lU): Cutworms, probably of Feltia d ucens 
Walk., are abundant in timothy and bluegrass pastures at Clarksvill< , 
Montgomery County. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (April 22): Cutworms are active in gardens at 
Auburn, particularly where tomato plants have been transplanted.
