In 1931 approximately 371,000 imported corn-borer para sites were liberated in infested areas by entomologists of the Unit ed States Department of Agricul ture. In the last 10 years 1,600,- 000 of these parasites have been liberated, representing 20 diffeernt species originating in Europe and in the Orient. Twelve of these species have been recovered in the field, indicating that they have be come established. So far control by parasites has not developed to any appreciable extent, as the work has been going on for too short a period. In some areas, however, as much as 15 to 25 per cent of para sitism has been observed in indi vidual fields.
