PEA. APHID ( Macrosiphum pisi Klfb,) 
Louisiana. C. 0. Eddy (PeLruary 24); formally the pea aphid'bccurs at 
University more or less abundantly throughout the winter. This year 
none have, appeared. Peas have been killed, but alfalfa is doing 
well again after severe setbacks in growth owing to cold weather. 
California. A. E. Michelbacher (January '}) : Rather abundant to very 
abundant in alfalfa fields in the San Joaquin Valley on December 19# 
Large numbers had been killed by a fimgus, and dead were noted 
everywhere. 
A LEAPHOPPER ( Aceratagallia uhleri Van D.) 
Texas. R. K. Pletcher (Pebruary 22): Observed on alfalfa and clover at 
Dublin, Erath County, on January 15 . 
VETCH 
VETCH ERUCHID ( Pruchus brachial is Pahraeus) 
Oregon. L. P. Rockwood (January 26): Specimens of hairy vetch seed and 
weevils received from Linn County, collected in a mill at Albany. 
This is the first record obtained for Linn County and is about 10 
miles farther south than the reporter was able to get them by 
sweeping late in May 1939* has been observed that the weevils 
appear to have spread farther in and near the hills than out in the 
valley. This seems to be true for both sides of the Cascade Mountains, 
and both north rnd south. 
SUGARCANE 
SUGARCANE BORER ( Piatraea saccharalis P. ) , 
Louisiana. A. L. Dugas (Pebruary): Limited records indicate that 
approximately 90 percent of overwintering borers are dead. Apparently 
all stages hibernating in standing cane or corn were killed by the 
■freezes. Mortality in cane trash buried before the freezes is not 
nearly so high as in standing stalks. 
SUGARCANE ROOTSTOCK WEEVIL ( Anacentrinus subnudus Buch.) 
Louisiana. A. L. Dugas (Pebruary) : Weevils working in cane stubbles show 
no detrimental effects from the freezes. They are active, and the 
mortality is very low.
