Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (September 26): More damage from cabbie worms 
has been experienced in the southeastern part of the State this fall 
than for many years. Many fields were injured so severely that they 
could not meet standard market requirements in Dane County. 
CABBAGE WEBWORM ( Hellula undalis Fab.) 
North Carolina. W. A. Thomas (September 20): The cabbage webworm is 
still one of the principal limiting factors in obtaining a stand of col- 
lards and related plants in the Chadbourn area at this season of the 
year. On larger plants the larvae bore into the stalks and leaf 
petioles , causing the buds to die and weakening the leaf stems, causing 
them to break off. 
CROSS-STRIPED CABBAGE WORM ( Evergcstis rimosalis Guen.) 
North Carolina. W. A. Thomas (September): Larvae of the cross-striped 
cabbage worm are much more numerous on collards in the Chadbourn dis- 
trict this year than usual. Ordinarily an occasional specimen is 
seen, but this season they are almost as abundant in some fields as 
is the common cabbage worm. 
CABBAGE LOOPER ( Autographa brassicae Riley) 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 2U): Cabbage loopers are more abundant 
, and more destructive to late cabbage than I have ever seen them. 
HARLEQUIN BUG ( Murgantia histrionica Hahn) 
North Carolina. W. A. Thomas (September 20): The harlequin cabbage bug 
continues to be a major pest of collards in home gardens of the Chad- 
bourn area. In some gardens most of this crop has already been killed. 
Iowa. H. E. Jaques (September 22): The harlequin bug is making its first 
appearance for the season in southeastern Iowa. Occasional specimens 
have been taken. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (August 23): The harlequin bug is reported to be 
quite abundant on remnant cabbage plants in gardens in northeastern 
Kansas. These bugs were observed feeding on turnip at Manhattan. 
California. D. J. Caffrey (October H) : Living specimens of the harlequin 
bug were received from Decoto, Alameda County, where the insect was 
seriously damaging turnips and squash.
