of the green bugs which usually at this tire are reported frorr 
the eastern part of o'jr State in larse numbers. 
PILE WESTERN CUTWORM (Poi osagrctis orthogonia Terr.) 
New I'exico J- R- Horton (March 8): The first outoreak of this cutworm in 
New Mexico occurred last year, discovered a month or so liter than 
this season. V r orrs were reared through to the roth and identified. 
They feed entirely below the surface of the soil, cutting off the 
wheat sten or mining cut the central sheet for one-quarter to 1 
inch of its length. The attack is most severe on late sown winter 
wheat, a single cite or two destroying the single shoot. When 
destroyed wheat is followed up with row crops, these are also at- 
tacked and destroyed. The damage was first seen this year about 
February -0. 
CORF 
EUROPEAN CORK BORER ( P^rausta nubilalis Huobn.) 
Ohio K. A. Gossard (I 'arch 22): The European corn Dorer has survived 
with no great amount of mortality in the cornstalks in the infested 
counties . 
/ STALK BORER ( Piatraea lingo lata Walk.) 
New Mexico R* Kiddle crook (March ll): The infestation 'was not very severe, 
ueing about 2 in 100 stalks in sore fields, but running as high as 
5 per cent in other fields. However, this valley is not the cen- 
ter of the worst infestation, which occuis along the eastern 
quarter of this State. There is some doubt as to .whether this 
is lineplata or zeacolella.
