abundant, feeding mostly on beggarwecd S'Jcd. 
J. J. Davis (October 20): Considerable injury to canning 
tomatoes.. Abundant the past month throughout the State on 
both field and sv:ect corn. A one-third grown larva was seen 
in Mitchell September 27, eating into an apple. Reports 
from Boonville and Scottsburg, October 13 and 14, respectively, 
mention serious losses to tomatoes, a large percentage being 
attacked. From Vincennes we have a report October 17 that 
they ware attacking sweetpotatoes. 
W. A. Price (October 23): The corn ear worm is very abundant 
on corn, tomatoes, and soy beans. After the maturity of the 
corn it has in many instances gone to the stalk and to other 
near-by crops. 
R. H. Pettit (October 20): The corn ear worm is moderately 
abundant. 
H. E. Jaques (October 25): The corn ear :.'0O sterns to have 
been more active than usual this year. Much of the late sweet 
corn suffered, while field corn in many counties shows unusual 
activity. The distribution was rather general throughout the 
State.

was reported as doing serious damage in cornfields in Nemaha

siderable damage to corn, and was observed damaging green 
tomatoes at Logan. 
U. C. Loftin (October 14)? My impression is that Heliothis 
obsoleta can be found at Central Baragua at cny time of the year 
on corn. Corn is olmted during any month of the year and that 
which we get for table use is usually infested.
