Minnesota. A. 0. Huggles (August 21): E. comes vitifex Fitch is fairly abundant 
on grape near Minneapolis and St. Paul. 
Nebraska. M. H. Swenk (August 21): Reports of the grape leaf hopper E. comes 
injuring grapevines were received from Lancaster, Cedar, Pierce, and 
Antelope Counties. This pest was reported also working on woodbine vines in 
Redwillow County. 
Utah. G. P. Knowlton (August l): Leafhoppers E. comes ziczac Walsh -are causing 
serious injury to Virginia creepers in all sections of Logan, and damage has 
been noted in many parts of northern Utah. (August 5): A species of 
Erythroneura is seriously damaging Virginia creeper and Englercan's ivy at 
Riverhei^hts, Hyrum, Logan, Millville, and Salt Lake City. Many of the 
leaves have already dried up and fallen, owing to the leafhopper attack. 
(August 9): Grape leafhoppers are seriously damaging grapes at Roy. Most 
of the older leaves are badly spotted and yellowed. Some leaves are falling 
off. (August 18): Grape leafhopper damage continues to become more severe 
in many parts of northern Utah, particularly on Virginia creeper. In Logan 
from 10 to 75 per cent of the leaves > of nearly all Virginia creepers are now 
brown and falling off. Damage to grapes is less severe, but increasing in 
several localities, including Brigham, Ogden, and Salt Lake City. 
GRAPE LEAP POLDER ( Desmia funeral is Hbn.) 
Missouri. L. Haseman (August 23): The grape leaf folder has done quite a little 
damage during the month at Columbia. 
GRAPE BERRY MOTE ( Polychrosis viteana Clem.) 
Michigan. R. H. Pettit (August 23): There is a serious attack by the grape berry 
moth. Enormous numbers of eg^s have been laid and are now beginning to hatch. 
We are just beginning to pick Moore's Early grapes; in fact, many growers in 
Berrien County began picking yesterday and are now looking forward to enormous 
numbers of the moth on the Concord and other later varieties.

PECAI\ T WEEVIL (Curculio caryae Horn) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (August 14): Adults of the pecan weevil were found in 
considerable numbers at Strou-.'s Crossroads on July 22, 2 weeks earlier than 
in 1932. At Experiment, activity began about 1 week earlier than in 1932. 
All APHID ( Monelli a costali3 Pitch) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (August 14): The black-margined aphid is more abundant 
on pecan for this time of year than in several years, at Milner and Strouds 
Crossroads. Pecan trees have excessive quantities of honeydev. . In one place 
honeydew was conspicuous on a dirt road which was overhung by pecan limbs. 
In the Experiment section the species is usually most abundant in May and 
again in Se-otember or October.
