BE$T APnlD ( Aphis ru^icis L.) 
irginia ' 7 « i s « Afcoott (June 22): This is the first time I have seen this 
aphid in cultivated beans in the lk .years that I hav-3 been here 
at Vienna although it is always very abundant en nasturtiums. 
MSXICaII 3E,JJ BSBEXE ( Epilachna corruota Muls. ) 
forth Carolina R* t7. Leiby (May 2J): Ho adults have been found in the field by 
J* C. Crawford and the writer to date at Raleigh. (June 19) : The 
first report of extensive injury to beans by the Mexican bean 
beetle was received on June 5. 
Alabama j. m, Robinson (June IS): The Mexican bean beetle has appeared 
at "Jindfield in ivferion County. 
Jo J, Davis (June 26): Reports are continually reaching us of 
the abundance of this insect but no new localities have been

SEED CORIJ MAGGOT (Hylemyia cili crura Rond. ) 
R« H„ Pettit (June 18): The seed corn rraggot is appearing in 
lar^e numbers pretty well over the State of Michigan, The season 
has been unusually wot and cool and the maggots which under 
normal conditions- would have pupated a couple of weeks ago are 
still in the ground although about full grown now. Deeply sown 
beans in general are suffering worse than those seeded at a half- 
inch depth. The ordinary practises which usually hold bean maggots 
in check am failing to do so satisfactorily this year. 
WESTERN SPOTTED CUCUMBER BEETLE (D iabrotica s o'ror Lee.) 
EL P. Stabler (June 17); Beans and young trees are being attacked 
by this insect in Sutter County, 
CORN E.Jri wQRM ( Pxliothis ob sol eta Fab.) 
P„ A. Ponton (June k) : In the vicinity of Darlington, S. C#, the 
corn oar worm has been unusually abundant and destructive to snap 
beans. Three-fourths of a crop in cne 200-acre field -has been 
destroyed, the larvae tunneling in and eating out the bean pods. 
It is thought that one of the principal reasons for the sudden 
and unusual appearance of this pest is the dry weather retarding 
the development of this crop. Snap beans are picked two reeks 
after blooming and this year it has been five weeks, 
BT-aII LEaE BEETIB (C eratoma t rifurcata Foerst. ) 
North Carolina P.. \i, Leiby (June 11 ) : Correspondence indicates rather severe 
injuries to snap beans by this species.
