Alabama J» M* Hobinson (May 23): Wireworms in Mobile and Baldwin 
Counties are very abundant. Corn replanted four times with 
irregular stand, 
Mississippi R, W. Harned (May 8): Specimens of wireworm mailed from 
Taylorsville on May 2, with following Statement. "I am mail- 
ing a worm that I have found eating the bark from young cotton

A WlRinORM ( Heteroderes laurentii Guer. ) 
K* L # Cockerham (May 21): Field observations in Baldwin 
County reveal adults of H. laurentii more numerous than at any 
time during the past several years. Considerable damage to 
Irish potatoes is reported by 0. T. Deen and L. L, Odom. As 
many as 10 adults could be collected under a single Irish potatx) 
vine where the vines had been left lying on the ground after 
the harvester. Other suitable rubbish also revealed adults 
hiding beneath it. Indications seem to point to severe damage 
to the s^eet-potato crop in thesa localities. 
A VFIKEWOHM ( Pheletes occidentalis Eand.) 
C> '.lakeland (May 21): Wireworms, P. occidentalis , are extra- 
ordinarily injurious this season. The late, cool, damp weather 
has retarded plant growth and brought the germination period 
of seeds at about the time of greatest wireworm activity. It 
is too early yet to get many reports of injury to corn and 
potatoes. Injury to grain crops is more severe than ever before 
and many wheat fields have been nearly ruined.
