Utah. H. E. Dorst (June 23): A few eggs'have been observed on very 
early sweet corn in northern Utah, 
California. J. Wilcox (June 2): Upon being harvested 90 percent of 
the ears in a field of sweet corn at Olive, in southern California, 
were found to contain worms, at least 75 percent of the ears were 
thrown out or not picked "because of damage. A field, just in 
tassel, had 40 percent of the tassels infested. 
EUROPEAN CORN BOEER ( Pyrausta nubilalis Hon. ) 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (June 22): The first pupa was found in stubble 
in a field on June 7 at Manchester, Bennington County, in south- 
western Vermont. First moth emerged from material freshly collect- 
ed in that section on June 20. Larvae moderately abundant in 
stubble and waste stalks in Franklin County, in northwestern 
Vermont, on June 17, but no pupae found. 
Connecticut. N. Turner (Juno 22): Although moths started emerging 
earlier than usual, the eggs were deposited later. Hatching is 
general and feeding is common. Indications are that the in- 
festation in the Housatonic Valley is very heavy, but in other 
districts the same as or less. than last year. 
New York. L. A. Carruth (June 2*0: On western Lon£ Island observations 
at intervals of 2-3 days during May and June indicate that the peak 
of pupation in field stubble occurred about May 15, the peak of 
pupation in barnyard stalks occurring about June 5 (2-generation 
strain). By June 15 practically all moths had emerged from stubble 
although emergence still continues in barnyards. Due to a back- 
ward season no eggs were found until June 4. Since that time 
numerous egg masses have been found, although infestations are 
variable in intensity. Up to June 23, the larvae found were most- 
ly very young; on that day larvae two-thirds grown were found near 
Valley Stream. In the Hudson Valley observations made June 10 in 
Rockland, Dutchess, and Columbia Counties, and on June 13 in 
Albany County, disclosed Ggg masses in practically every field 
examined. The infestations were light and the eggs in most cases 
appeared to be newly laid. These observations confirm the presence 
of the 2-generation strain in the Hudson Valley. Observations in 
Rockland County on June 21 indicated that hatching had occurred 
although only small larvae were found. 
New Jersey. C, A. Clark (June 20): A small number of agg masses were 
seen during the first week in June on early sweet corn in Burlington 
and Monmouth Counties. By June 13 eggs .were numerous and hatching 
had started. (June 25): The first pupa of the first summer genera- 
tion was found today. About 50 percent of the larvae are full-grown.
