West Virginia. L. M. Poairs (August 22): The potato leafhopper is moderately 
abundant generally. 
Oliio. T. ". Parks (August 24): The potato leafhopper is very abundant. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (Aurust 29): The potato leafhopper is reported abundant at 
LaPorte, July 31. According to C-. 3. C-ould this species was more abundant 
than usual on potato in northern Indiana. What we believe to be the same 
species was unusually abundant in central Indiana, on beans. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (August): The potato leafhopper is very abundant 
throughout the State. 
Minnesota. A. C-. Puggles (August 21): The potato leafhopper is very abundant. 
Iowa. E. E. Jaques (August 23): The potato leafhopper is a serious pent this 
year. 
A LEAPHO.PPEH ( "mpoasca f il yr.enta De L) 
Utah. G-. F. Knowlton (August 9): The Pocky Mountain potato leafhopper, ~\_ Hl^T 
menta, is generally abundant in potato fields of northern Utah, causing 
spotting of the potato leaves. Moderate damage has 'been noted in most fields 
examined. 
TOMATO PSYXLID ( Paratrioza c ockerelli Sulc) 
Utah. U. P. Knowlton (August 9): Some psyllid yellows damage has resulted to 
la.te pota.toes as well as more general damage to early potatoes, in parts of 
northern Utah, in spite of the hot season. 
Colorado. &. M. List (August 24): The tomato psyllid is not so numerous as a 
year ago, although in some sections there is a heavy loss to potatoes from 
the psyllid yellows. In the Mesa County early potato growing section the 
harvest was not over 25 per cent of .a normal crop, the yellows being the 
principal cause for this reduction. In the San Luis Valley and in other high 
mountain producing areas the infestation is quite heavy on late potatoes, but 
the loss will not be ar* great as it was a year ago. In Weld and Morgan Counties, 
where the crop was reduced almost 75 per cent last year, the yield will be 
almost normal this year, except on s:>me of the carl3' T fields. 
Hew Mexico. J. P. Eyer (July 24): The potato psyllid is moderately abundant in 
all potato-growing sections.
