poison. An examination in the vineyard at the time showed that 

 the beetles were abundant, having recently emerged, and as many 

 as 20 were observed on a vine, and in one instance nine were seen 

 within a small area of about 9 inches, the insects resting on the 

 top wire and adjacent stems. There was considerable feeding in 

 the vineyard at the time of treatment, which latter had been 

 delayed somewhat because of the grapes being in bloom. A 

 second spraying was given in the same manner July 6. At this 

 time much feeding was observed and numbers of the beetles were 

 pairing. The following table gives in a summarized form the 

 conditions as observed in the experimental area and the section 

 adjacent thereto, which was used as a check.
