Louisiana W*E.Einis (April 2U) : Sugarcane borers are being found alive in 
the refuse of last year*s cane crop in numbers that indicate a 
serious infestation to be encountered this season. Undoubtedly 
the exceedin ;ly heavy rainfall experienced through the principal 
cane areas taring March, and "dais far during Ap-il, will prove 
to be an important factor in destroying many borers t". h flooding 
and the submergence of infested care, but or. the other rand it has 
also washed the soil from much planted cane leaving f he stalks 
exposed and this condition -ill be favorable for the . nee 
of moths from the planted canes before the stalls can be recovered. 
The pupation of borer larvae is now well under ray, and : few 
moths have emerged from pupae kept in the laboratory during 
he last fe eeks.
