OUTSTANDING- ENTOMOLOGICAL FEATURES IN THE UNITED STATES FOR APRIL, 1930 
The serious condition in Nebraska with regard to the army cutworm, 
reported in the last number of the Survey Bulletin, has continued during 
the early part of the month. The ring-necked pheasant was found to be 
a heavy feeder on this species, 122 larvae having been found in the 
crop of a single specimen. The usual number of spring reports regarding 
cutworms is being received from practically all parts of the country. 
Wireworms are reported as seriously damaging tobacco in Gadsden 
County, Florida, and sweet potatoes in parts of Mississippi. 
Many reports were received from Georgia, westward through Missis- 
sippi, of June beetle damage to the foliage of pecan. White grubs are 
reported as very numerous in the North Central States. 
Indications of serious Hessian fly trouble are reported from 
Missouri. This insect emerged about a week earlier than usual in Oregon. 
The chinch bug remains as during the last few years at a very low 
ebb. 
The corn ear worm is now appearing in southern Florida. 
Many reports of unusual abundance of the clover leaf weevil have 
been received from Illinois and Missouri. 
Reports of very unusual numbers of crane fly maggots attacking 
meadows have been received from Illinois and Missouri. 
Fruit aphids appear to be moderately abundant over the New England 
and Middle Atlantic States but less than normally abundant in the East 
Central States. Over the remainder of the country these insects are 
reported as scarce.
