these moths migrate long distances. 
Ohio. N. E. Howard (September 22): Late sweet corn in the vicinity of Colum- 
bus is very heavily infested. Every ear examined had 1 or 2 worms on the 
tip. an inch or two of which had been destroyed, as well as 1 worm lower 
down which had entered through the husks on the side. Considering the 
unsightliness of the ears, it is believed that most of the corn in the 
fields was unmarketable. I have received report that the insect is very 
injurious to chrysanthemums and tomatoes in a greenhouse in the vicinity 
of Dayton. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (October 2): The corn ear worm is more abundant through- 
out the State then it has been for a number of years. It is heavily in- 
festing corn and tomatoes. One report of abundance in soybeans was re- 
ceived. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (September): The corn ear worm is more abundant than it 
has been at any time during the past 5 years. It has very seriously 
damaged field corn, destroying probably ] or 8 percent of the kernels on 
most of the ears. It is also feeding extensively on the foliage of late 
soybeans and on the pods of late beans. • 
Kentucky. W. A. Price (September 25): The corn ear worm continues to be very 
destructive to tomatoes, beans, and alfalfa. 
Michigan, R. Hut son (September 20): The corn ear worm is moderately abundant. 
Wisconsin. S. L. Chambers (September 26): The second and possibly a third 
brood of the corn ear worm attacked both sweet and field corn. This is 
the worst infestation ever recorded in Wisconsin. In some fields the in- 
• fe station is 50 percent in field corn and even higher in sweet corn. 
Minnesota. A. G. Buggies and C. E. Mickel (September 25): The corn ear worm 
is very abundant on very late sweet corn in ports of the State. Adults 
were flying on September '( . 
Missouri. L. Baseman (September 2h) : The corn ear worm outbreak is the worst 
in 30 years. Late broods are very large. Owing to shortage of corn ears 
the worms are turning to alfalfa and soybeans, doing serious damage to 
these crops over much of the State. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (September 20): The corn ear worn is very abundant. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (September): The corn ear worm is very 
abundant on corn and tomatoes in Lauderdale, Bolivar, Lowndes, and Monroe 
Counties. 
Colorado. G. M. List (September 20): The corn ear worm has been unusually 
numerous in all sections where corn is .Town. The infestation in most 
localities will be 100' percent. The first brood attacked the tassels of 
the early sweet corn, much of which was so seriously injured that it was 
cut and fed to livestock.
