EUROPEAN CORN BORER (Fyrausta nubilalis Huebn.) 
H. A. Gossard (March 21 ): Buried specimens of the European corn 
borer exhibited activity as early as March 10. On this day, 
which was very warm, they started toward the surface and some 
of them completed half of the journey upward, though, so far as 
known, none actually reached the surface. 
ARMYWOEM ( Cirphis unrpuncta Haw. ) 
L. Haseman (March 18): It is still too early to make definite 
predictions, though from the past fall's signs we do not expect 
this pest this spring. 
CORN R00T7T0RM ( Diabrotica duodecinrounctata Fab . ) 
Philip Luginbill (March 10): Adults of Diabrotica 12- punctata 
are very abundant this spring. This would seem to indicate that 
there may be serious damage to corn this spring. Last year the 
adults were scarce not only during the spring but the whole year. 
In fact, we were unable to get a sufficient number for breeding 
work. Yesterday, in a very short time, we captured 100 beetles. 
Egg laying has already begun. In fact, many beetles have already 
deposited their guota and have died. Several of the individuals 
of each capture are parasitized and it is hoped that a sufficient 
number of the adults may be obtained for a life history study of 
this parasite, which apparently is Celatoria. LIBRARY
