Nevada. L« &, Jones (April 15 ): Very in the Minden area,. In many 
fields it was not difficult to find one or two adults per square foot. 
Present in the egg, larval, and adult sta.gcs* 
G. G. Schweis (April 19)5 Adults very prevalent in some sections in 
western Nevada, and egg laj'^ing talcing place, to a limited extent* 
California* '* A, E. Michelhacher (April 20): In one rerj localized area in the 
Saji Joaquin Valley, just south of Tracy, considerahle damage was ca,uscd 
in about 6 fields. In this area o^ April 5 numher of larvae collected 
per 100 sweeps ranged from 600 to 5»060* The larvaA population in the 
region had been high for over a month, for as early as March 3 the larval 
count ranged from 470 to 2,356. In parts of 1 or^ 2 fields nearly all the 
foliage was ea.ten. Outside this small area no dama.ge was done and on April 
4 a field was seldom found where the larval count exceeded 100 per 100 
sweeps. In the San Joaquin VaJley. on April l6 the number of larvae 
collected per 100 sweeps ranged from 3 to 780. During the harvest of the 
first crop there was a period of warn wca.ther, v;hich resulted in consider- 
able cultural kill. At Pleasanton and th.e region adjacent to the San 
Prancisco Bay, no damage occurred. In the San Brancisco Bay region the 
larval count for the different fields on April 12 ranged from 2 to 250, 
Paras it iza,t ion by B athyplectes curculionis Thoms,, a,s determined by rear- 
ing the parasites from last-stage larvae collected in the field, is as 
follows': In the San Joaquin Valley on April 5 from 24 to 62 percent for 
the different fields; and in the aroa adjacent to the San Francisco Bay 
on April 2, from 58 to 89 percent. On April 11 a survey of the alfalfa 
fields south of the knovm infestation adjacent to the San Francisco Boy 
wa,s conducted. iTo v;ccvils collected, but 4 adult Bathyplectes were taken. 
One of these was taJrcn at Paicines, San Benito County, the southernmost 
point covered by the survey, 
CLOVER LEAF V/EEVIL ( Hypera punctata, F.) 
Missouri. L. Haseman (April 24); Practically no evidence of the early work of 
the larvae throughout central Missouri, 
Utaii. G. F, Khov;lton (April IS)^ A fev; larvae one developing on alfalfa, at 
■Utah Hot Springs, Weber County, 
Washington. E. J, Newcomer (Manch 26): Larvae reported as numerous in some 
alfalfa fields in the Yakima Valley. The mild winter ho.s probably resulted 
in less mortality than usual, 
A WEEVIL ( Hypera, brmmeiponnis Boh, ) 
Arizona, C, D. Lebert (April 15)i Since April 1 several larvae ha.ve been found 
south of Tenpe, Maricopa County, on clover. Control noocures necessary*
