ELM 
ELM LEAF BEETLE ( Galerucella xanthome laena Schr.) 
H. B. Peirson (August 24): The elm leaf "beetle was very 
abundant at Gorham, August 11. 
J. V. Schaffner, Jr. (August 20): We have reports from 25 
towns in Massachusetts, 11 towns in New Hampshire, and one in the 
eastern part of New York State, all of which indicate that this 
pest has been very abundant, though it appears more/less locally, 
partly owing to municipal and private property spraying. The 
elms in many localities are completely browned, 
H. L. Bailey (July 31): The elm leaf beetle is moderately 
abundant in Brattleboro, Windham County. 
M. P. Jones (August): The elm leaf beetle is abundant in 
Wareham, Berkeley, Bridgewater, and Blackstone (around Boston) . 
W. S. Britton (August 24): This insect has been very abundant 
in the southern counties of the State and also in Hartford and 
southern Tolland Counties. Many unsprayed trees are brown. In 
Litchfield, Windham, and the northern portion of Tolland Counties, 
the elm leaf beetle is less abundant and lias caused little injury. 
R. D. Glasgow (August 26): In the Hudson River Valley from 
Albany south, and on Long Island, injury to elm trees "by the 
second brood of the elm leaf beetle has "been unusually severe 
this year. In Hempstead, Westbury, and Garden City, L. I., it 
is not unusual to see elm trees that are apparently without a 
single square millimeter of green leaf tissue. 
C. R. Willey (August 28): The elm leaf beetle has been bad in 
Richmond this summer. 
E. W. Mendenhall (August 5): The elm leaf beetle has spread 
for a radius of about, 50 miles from Dayton, where it was originally 
found about 30 years ago. London and Piqua seem to be most 
severely infested. It is held pretty well in check in Dayton. 
(August 22): An outbreak of the elm leaf beetle was found in 
Springfield, It is the first in Clark County. 
Oregon Agr. Coll., Insect Pest Report (July): The elm leaf 
beetle is very abundant at Lexington and Cecil, Morrow County.
