BEAN 
MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE ( Epilachna corrupt a Muls .) 
Franklin Sherman (July 16) . "The two localities mentioned in the 
last number of the Survey Bulletin are Patrick in Cherokee County 
and Brasstown on the edge of Clay County." 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "A report has been received that the 
Mexican bean beetle has been found in Swain County* Three counties 
are now found to be infested in the west most part of the State." 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "The Mexican bean beetle has been re- 
ported as occurring in Anderson County during the past month." 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "The Mexican bean beetle is causing 
heavy damage in Georgia. Total destruction of garden beans occurr- 
ing in some places. In addition to the counties infested in 1921 
this beetle has been found in the following counties: Campbell, Clayton, 
Coweta, Fayette, Henry, Morgan, Newton, Oconee, Rockdale and Walton." 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "Heavy infestation is reported in 
Kentucky. This insect was not numerous enough in the fall of 1921 
to cause any reduction in the crop. In addition to the counties re- 
ported last year it has been found in Knox, Madison and Wayne Counties." 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "Total destruction of beans took place in 
TenoTse-ea . about Chattanooga this year. The price of beans on the 
Chattanooga market is £3.75 per bushel* In addition to the counties 
reported last year, this insect has been found in Bedford, Knox, 
Lawrence, Lewis, Maury, Marshall, Rutherford, Sevier and Wayne Counties. 
Neal F. Howard (August 28). "On account of the late emergence of 
the beetles from hibernation this year many early bean plantings in 
Alabama yielded at least one good picking. This situation together 
with the large shipments of beans from other points not heavily 
infested brought down the price of beans on the Birmingham market to 
a low figure. For the past month, however, the price has risen 
steadily and is now $3.75 per bushel wholesale." 
R. W. Harned (August 17). "So far the Mexican bean beetle has not 
been reported from this State." 
CUCUMBER 
BANDED CUCUMBER BEETLE ( Diabrotica balteata Lee .) 
R. W. Harned (August 17). "This insect is quite abundant this year, 
and has been especially injurious in the southwestern part of the 
State on beans, peas, potato, and cucumbers. Ten years ago this 
insect was not known in Mississippi; 5 years ago it was rather nare 
and only a few complaints were received in regard to it. At the 
present time, however, it is quite abundant in all parts of the State 
and apparently is as serious, or nearly as serious, as the other two 
common Diabroticas ."
