California G. H. Hecke (Quar. Order 3'4, Amend. 5) • "The fact has "been 
determined that the alfalfa weevil exists in the County of 
Sierra. :l 
SRMX77CRM ( Cirphis nnipuncta Haw, ) 
Indiana H* F» Dietz (June 22): Army.7orm moths are more numerous than 
in the last three years. They were first observed on June 
15, and the abundance of adults may indicate an outbreak of 
this >pest a little later. 
J. J. Davis (July l6): Armyworms were sent in from Frankfort 
on June 28 with the report that they were damaging alfalfa. 
One Peridroira sa ucia Hbn. larva was with the several armyworms 
submitted, hut, apparently, it was not responsible for the 
principal damage. 
PALL AEMXmCRM ( Lafthygma frugiperda S. & A.) 
South Philip Luginbiill (June 28): Specimens of full-grown larvae were 
Darolina collected today at Columbia, which indicates that migrant moths 
must have reached this place about June 15 this year. 
GARDEN WEBT7QRM (Losostege similalis Guen. ) 
Iowa C.J. Brake (July 27) : Car den webworm is reported from several 
places in the State as very seriously attacking alfalfa. 
Missouri L. Haseman (July): This pest has just been reported from west- 
central Missouri in destructive numbers in alfalfa. The larvae 
are now nearly full-fed (July' 20). 
Kansas J. R. Horton (July 6): Young corn is 50 per cent destroyed, 
early-planted corn only about 10 per cent infested. It is also 
damaging cantaloupes slightly; sweet potatoes severely; peas, 
"beans, cucumbers, radishes, and even Irish potatoes and 
tomatoes more or less. Pigweed, and Acdrahthus are almost 
destroyed in }&cge patches and about seven other weeds are 
damaged. (July 13): The ofilibieaks in alfalfa extend over the 
entire area of Sedgwick County. They" were first noticed about 
four days after my previous report on this pest. Much of the 
alfalfa has been cut in the last four or five days. Large 
numbers of Loxostege have now pupated in soil cells in this 
latitude. Injury is so severe that the fields have a whitish 
appearance from a distance, where the leaves are chewed full 
of holes and wehbed together. 
Geo. A. Dean (July J): Me have just received a report from 
Lyon County of the common garden webworm seriously injuring 
corn. The "bottom or low lands of this county have "been flooded, 
and I presume this may have something to do with the worms
