New York. N. Y. State Coll. of Agr. , Weekly Hews Letter (August 22): The cor/. 
ear worm caused a lot of damage in ear],:/ sweet corn this year- in Onondaga 
County, some plantings being totally destroyed. 
New Jersey. R. C. Bur&ette and T. J. Headlee (August 2 and 4): $he corn ear 
worn is unusually .abundant and most corn is more than 50 per cent injured by 
this insect. (August 24 and 25): Eggs' were found on celery at Mullica Kill. 
This is apparently a new host for the corn ear worn. This insect was 
identified as being in celery last year. The general infestation of corn this 
year and the number of moths now present would indicate that celery will 
perhaps suffer considerable damage from, this insect.- This condition will be 
closely followed and checked "up each week to determine just what nay be ex- 
pected from this infestation. .
