Excerpt from The Army Worm Early in July, the present season, complaints began to reach the Experiment Station of the injuries in¿icted by the Army Worm upon grain and grass fields. Whenever specimens were submitted, they proved to be the true Army Worm. In addition to the accounts received by us direct from correspond ents, there were many notices in the daily papers, showing the presence of the pest in various parts of the state. The data at hand indicates that there were local outbreaks, here and there. Over a large part of New Hampshire, especially in the south ern half and the region bordering the Connecticut river. Serious injury, especially in barley fields, was done during July, and again in September, when another brood of worms had developed, especial damage was reported to be done in fields of Hungarian grass. As soon as the first outbreak was reported. I visited the infested fields, studying the worms at work, and bringing speci mens to the station, where they were placed in breeding cages to determine their life-histories. The results of these and sub sequent studies, as well as a summary of our knowledge of the insect in general, are embodied in this bulletin.
