Missouri A, C. Bur rill (June 30). "This insect is vary serious in parts of 
Knox, Sullivan, and Adair Counties, one man reporting that every 
tomato plant set out was destroyed by this insect •" 
Mississippi R, W. Earned (July 18). "The stalk-borer seems to be more abundant 
than usual this year.* 
. > . ' ARMYWORM (Cirph is unirrancta Haw.) 
Illinois W» P. Flint (July 18), "Adults becoming very abundant in ths central 
part of the State, but show only in moderate numbers in southern 
and northern Illinois," 
SUGAR-CANE BORER (D iatraea sac char al is Fab.) 
North Franklin Sherman (July 2l). "The larger corn stalk-borer is apparently 
Carolina more abundant than normally." 
. , SUGAR-CANE BEETLE ( Euetheol a rupricens L ee.) 
Mississippi R. W. Earned (July 18). "Complaints continue to be received in regard 
to the rough-headed corn stalk-borer. In most cases these insects 
are injuring corn." 
. , CORN ROOT APEID (A phis maidi-radicis Forbee). 
Indiana J. J. Davis (July 20), "The corn root aphid has been the subject 
of an unusual number of inquiries." 
. . EUROPEAN CORN BORER (P yrausta nubil a lis Huebn. ) 
New York E,P.Felt (July 21), "Recent examinations in the eastern area indicate 
nearly identical conditions as regards infestation with those of last 
year with the possible exception of a greater degree of infestation 
in the areas where the insect was "ost abundant. There appears to have 
been comparatively little increase in numbers in the sunrounding 
more sparsely infested territory. Third and fourth stage larvae were 
being found from the middle to the 20th of July." 
. , CORN-SILK, BEETLE ( Lunerodus varicomis Lee.) 
Louisiana T. E. Jones (July 7). "An outbreak of this beetle occurred at Eden 
in LaSalle Parish. The injury was apparently largely confined to 
hill land, and here the beetle had kept the silk eaten off to subh 
an extent that few if any kernels had formed. The ears will not be 
worth gathering in the fields where the beetles have been abundant. 
Beetles were said to appear late in April and early in May, and at the 
time of my visit were disappearing. It is said that it is not possible 
to raise a crop of early com in this particular section. Late corn, 
silking after the beetles disappear, is advisable on this account. These 
beetles also feed on the tassels."
