ROSE CHAFEE ( Macrodacty.lus subsulnosus Fab.) 
C« R« Crosby and assistants (July): Very serious injury to 
fruit and truck as well as ornamentals in parts of Wayne Coun- 
ty has been reported this year, also slight damage in Orange 
and Greene Counties, (abstract J.A.K. ) 
J, J. Davis (July 27): The rose chafer was reported from vari- 
ous sections of the State between June 28 and July 5 as follows: 
From Winarnac comes the report that they were abundant through- . 
out Pulaski County; defoliating young apple and plum tree at 
Monterey; present by the millions and devouring every green apple 
in a 10-acre orchard at Ray; and abundant at Crown Point, 
E* L» Chambers (July 25): Specimens of the rose chafer have 
been received from a dozen or more sources in southern counties 
where they have been reported as doing considerable feeding 
on the foliage of raspberries and to some extent injuring corn. 
Monroe County seems to have had more trouble than usual this 
year from this insect. 
M» E, Swenk (June 15-July 15): The rose chafer appeared in 
great numbers in the sand-hill region of Nebraska from Cherry

June 19 to 26 and did the usual amount of injury to fruit and 
other trees, bushes, shrubs, and garden stuff.

J# H» Hawkins (July 13): We have found that clover baits 
were effective in attracting the adults of the wheat wireworm 
Agriotes msoacus Say and give some promise as an auxiliary 
method of controlling these pests. Wheat wireworms were found 
April 18 at Holden in the first 6 inches of soil, although the 
ground was still frozen beneath the top layer of 6 or 8 inches. 
Reports of wireworm injury to potato seed pieces during June 
were received from Warren, Wiscasset, and Newport. Potatoes 
were so badly injured on a farm at Cape Elizabeth that replant- 
ing was necessary* 
F. B» Morris (July 18): Wireworms caused much damage in some 
cornfields; in one case 60 p^r cent being destroyed in Oswego 
County, 
J. G. Gaines (July 19): Only a trace of injury on many crops 
in 7,'eyne County. 
M. H» Swe rk (June 15-July 15): Corn wireworms ( Melanotus
