THE MORE IMPORTANT RECORDS FOR AUGUST 1935 
During the latter part of July and the early part of August very 
heavy outbreaks of cutworms were reported from Michigan and Maine. 
Serious damage was occasioned "by the fall armyworm in the South At- 
lantic States and the Gulf region. 
The green June beetle was reported from Delaware and Georgia, in the 
East Central States, and in New Mexico. 
The green stink "bug damaged a wide variety of plants in New Mexico 
and California, 
Common red spiders were quite generally reported from the Gulf north- 
ward to Nebraska and also on the Pacific Coast. 
Heavy hessian fly populations are present over a wide area from 
southeastern Kansas to central Pennsylvania. 
In the East Central States the weather was adverse to the develop- 
ment of large populations of chinch bugs. In the West Central and the south- 
ern part of the North Central States the weather has been very favorable to 
this insect. 
The report in the last number of this bulletin of the finding of 
alfalfa weevil in Mendocino County, Calif. , was a mistake. 
Plum curculios of the second brood were reported as very scarce in 
the Middle Atlantic and South Atlantic States. 
A further report on the cherry scale in California, in which State itfc 
was found for the first time last year, appears in this number of the bulle- 
tin. 
Blister beetles were quite generally prevalent and are doing consid- 
erable damage over the greater part of the country east of the Rockies.
