Tennessee. G, M. Bentley (June): In Knox County the Mexican Id ean "beetle is less 
abundant than last year. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (June 23): The Mexican b ean b eetie is more abundant than 
at any tine since it entered Auburn, 
Mississippi. J. M. Langston (June 22): A severe infestation on pole beojis was

BEAN APHID ( Aphis runic is L. ) 
Maryland. E. N. Cory (June 2l): The bean aphid is doing considerable damage in 
spots on the Eastern Shore. 
SEED CORN MAGGOT ( Hylenyia cilicrura Rond. ) 
I'rscachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 25): Several reports were received of injury 
caused in market garden plantings in Hampden County. The injury was almost 
entirely confined to lima beans and the damage was so severe that several 
large plantings were harrowed up and the area planted to some other crop. 
The damage seemed to be confined to lima beans, while ordinary string beans 
growing in plots alongside showed either no injury or very slight injury in 
the rows immediately adjoining the lima beans. 
PEAS 
PEA APHID ( Illinoia pisi Kalt.) 
Michigan. R. Hutson (June 13): Pea Aphids have appeared in Ogemaw County at 
Rose City, and in Ionia County at Lake Odessa. 
Wisconsin. J. E. Dudley, Jr. (June 15): High temperatures occurred throughout 
the pea— growing sections of Wisconsin during the last 2 weeks in May and 
the drought continued. These high temperatures, and especially the high 
maxima, were detrimental to the aphids and the infestation dropped off 
noticeably, so that by the latter part of May there was no serious infesta- 
tion in any of the fields inspected around Madison, and the reproduction of 
aphids was very small. 
CABBAGE 
CA33AGE MAGGOT ( Hylenyia brassicae Riley) 
Massachusetts. A. I. Bourne (June 25): The cabbage maggot was very abundant thii 
year, and we had many more "complaints than usual regarding its attack. 
New York. N. Y. State Coll. Agr, News Letter (June): In Cayuga County the flics 
had practically disappeared by the end of the first week. Severe injury by 
maggots in the western part of Suffolk County and one third of field plants 
in some untreated fields in Onondaga and Niagara Counties were destroyed by 
the end of the first week. (Abs. J.A.H.) 
Montana. A. L. Strand (May 29): Severe infestations are present in western
