Excerpt from Cooperative Economic Insect Report, Vol. 2: August 8, 1952 European corn borer (pyrausta nubilalis) massachusetts Egg laying in progr ess; heavy infestation expected. (wheeler and Thies). Maryland Activity increasing. Eggs and larvae in Cecil, Harford, Carroll, and Frederick Counties. First-generation pupae Washington and Allegany Counties. (t. L, Bissell). Tennessee Adults emerged most cases. Few or no signs of second generation. (r. P. Mullett). Illinois Second generation, light due to drought, about complete with some pupation at E. St. Louis. Some second-generation borers appear ing in late corn in central and northern areas. Difficult to predict probable intensity of second generation in northern areas because of heat and drought. (g. C. Decker). Minnesota Percentage of corn plants infested all districts ranges from 36 to 77 with southwestern district having heaviest infestation. (buzicky and Sandve). Kansas Infested plants ranging from 0-52 percent in northeastern and north central counties, with most averages low. Pupation near completion most counties. First-brood injury lower than anticipated due to larvae mortality because of weather. Few egg masses found and those showed weather injury. (c. C.
