GARDEN WEBWQRM (Loxqstjege. similalis- Guen.) 
J.J„Davis (August 17). "Following) our last report on alfalfa 
webwozYft at Shipshewaria, in LaGrange County, we received report 
as to the occurrence of this same insect in adjoining counties, 
i.e.-, Elkhart and St. Joseph. In all cases, alfalfa was attacked. 
However, no reports have been received since the end of July. 
BLISTER BEETLES (Meloidae) 
Geo.A.Dean (August 16). "During the last two weeks we have 
received a good many reports of blister beetles injuring alfalfa 
and some of the garden crops. The common ones in the western 
part of the State are species of Macrobasia, one of the most 
common being unic plor. The common one over the eastern half 
of the State is Epi cauta lemniscata F ab. 
SOY BEANS 
. . SOY-BEAN ROOT CURCULIO ( Sitona crinita Hbst.) 
W.P.Flint (August 17). The Sitona that has been reported in the 
June and July Survey Bulletins on soy-beans was^found in this 
State in 1920, Two reports of damage, both of which were in- 
vestigated, were received that year and numbers of the adult 
beetles were taken from soy-beans in the injured fields. These 
were identified at that time as Si tones his pi dolus Fab. Both 
of these fields were in clover sod broken in the spring and the 
injury was the same in all respects as that occurring in Illinois 
this year. There can be little doubt that the species was the 
same. If this proves to be crinita it seems probable that it 
has been established in Illinous for at least three years.* 
COWPEA 
, . GDWPEA CURCULIO ( Chalcodermus aaneus Boh.) 
R.TC.Harned (August 17). w Cowpea pod weevils were received in 
large numbers from Marshall County, where they were collected 
on cowpeas, and from Tunica County, where they were taken 
from cotton, n 
LESSER CORN STALK-BORER (Eiasmopalpus li ffnosellus Z sll.) 
Harold Mowry (August l)« "This insect was observed for the fiest 
time attacking cowpeas at Jacksonville today." 
VELVET-BEAN CATERPILLAR (Anticarsia geramatilis Eubn.) 
Jeff Chaff in (August l). "This insect appeared at Gainesville 
today, this being 15 days earlier than it appeared last year. 
It should reach the Georgia State line by August 25."
