IMPORTED C ABB AGE WORM ( Pieris rapae L.) 
C. K. Bullock (July 16): Butterflies of the imported cab- 
bage worm are laying eggs in large numbers in Ontario County. 
Some have hatched and are doing damage. 
If. A. Thomas (July 16): Within the past few days this in- 
sect has been observed defoliating collards in many home gar- 
dens in this section (Chadbourn) . Two weeks ago few specimens 
could be found on this plant, but heavy tains have followed 
and now many plants are seen completely destroyed. 
J.J. Davis (July 27): The cabbage worm was destructive to 
cabbage at Warsaw and Marion July 23 and 24, respectively. 
E. L. Chambers (July 25); Early cabbage is being hard hit 
by the cabbage worm and indications received from out pest 
reporters show that considerable loss will result generally 
over the State this summer.

to be very severe all over the State. 
CABBAGE MAGGOT ( Hylemyia brassicae Bouche) 
J. H. Hawkins (July 13): The cabbage maggot was abundant at 
Newport June 26, cabbage, radishes, and turnips being attacked, 
The cabbage maggot was found to affect from 11 to 17 per cent 
of the crop at C a pe Elizabeth July 6. 
C. R. Crosby and assistants (July): ?he cabbage maggot was 
very serious the first half of the month in seed-beds, reports 
of heavy losses having been received from Wayne, Ontario, Onon- 
daga, and Genesee; Coi-nties. (Abstract J. A. H.) 
DIAMOND-BACK MOTH ( Plutella maculipennis Curtis) 
W. A. Thomas (July 2): A rather heavy infestation of this 
insect was observed on collards growing in a home garden at 
Chadbourn. The injured areas were very noticeable from a con- 
siderable distance. Parasitism seems to be very light in 
this area this season.

HARLEQUIN BUG ( Morgantia histrionica Hahn) 
W. A. Thomas (July 17): The harlequin bug was doing serious 
damage to collards in the vicinity of Chadbourn about two 
weeks ago, but the recent heavy rains seem to have checked 
their work somewhat and the injury is not so apparent at this 
time.
