J«. M. Robinson (May 23): At 3rewton cutworms are moderately 
abundant on corn. 
R« W. Harned and -assistants (May). Cutworms were reported e& 
moderately abundant at Lucedale, Wiggins, Gulf port, and Houston, 
and as scarce at Pascagoula, Ocean Springs, Holly Springs, and 
Jackson. 
C. ".Takeland (May 21): Cutworms are quite abundant and injur- 
ious in a few grain fields and many gardens. 
Don C» Mote (April 29): Cutworms (many species) throughout 
the entire State are very abundant, 
PALE WESTERN CU33770BM ( Porosagrotis orthogonia Morr. ) 
J. W» McColloch (May 6): A farmer at Oakley reports tliat a 
cutworm has killed out 1,000 acres of wheat. He states that 
the worms work entirely below ground and cut the plants off. His 
description of the -orm and its injury suggests the pale wes- 
tern cutworm. This insect has been taken in this area in pre- 
vious years. 
BERTHA ARMYWORM (Ba rathra configurata 77alk. ) 
J„ A. Munro (May 16): The Bertha armyworm was prevalent in 
northern counties last season attacking sweet clover, flax, 
and other crops. Farmers in those counties report the plowing 
up of many pupae this spring in fields which were infested last 
season. This pest is xvidely spread over the Canadian provinces 
and has only during the past season spread into North Dakota 
to such an extent that it is considered a real pest.

HESSIAN FLY ( phyto^hawa destructor Si ; 
J.J. Davis (May): The Hessian fly is very abundant fr 
Terre Haure to Evansville and about two counties wide from the 
Illinois line. The fly appeared early before wheat had i 
much growth and as a result wheat was killed as in the fall 
and large acreages will bo plowed under. ' 
w. F. Flint (May): Infestation by the spring brood of th* 
Hessian fly will be moderately heavy, judging frc 
fields in west-central Illinois made by J. H. Bi vved 
51 per cent of the plants infested. The number of maggots 
per plant runs from 1 to 17. 
J. K. Bigger (May): ".'.heat tillered abund I s- 
sian fly is moderately abundant in central Illinois, 
small loss is likely.
