CUTWORMS ( No c tui dae ) 
C-. F. Knowlton (July 28): The pale western cutworm 
( Porosagrotis orthogonia Morr.) destroyed approximately 
acres of dry farm wheat in a 60-acre field at Fairview. 
Other nearby fields were damaged less severely, and mostly 
in spots. Larvae stopped feeding about two weeks ago.

eastern corner of the State have been reported as suffering

WIREWORMS (Slateridae) 
J. IT. Tenhet (August 20): Injury by Horistonotus uhleri 
Horn has been very severe this season, and much new territory 
seems to be invaded. The infested territory seems to be 
slowly spreading. Adults of this species have been remarkably 
scarce this summer. (August 21): Adults of Lxnocrepidius 
vespertinus Feb. have been very abundant for the past six weeks, 
K. L. C ockerham (August 5): Soil sifting for the larvae of 
Heteroderes laurentii Guer. in the vicinity of Foley has 
indicated a population as follows: Per square foot soil 4 
inches deep, in early corn an average of 2± larvae were found; 
in similar area in early Irish potato field followed by late 
corn an average of 5 larvae were found; sirilar area in grassy 
turf indicated one-fourth larva per unit. Since at this 
time larvae are small, many are no doubt overlooked; it is 
possible, therefore, that the infestation is greater than 
indicated by counts so far obtained.
