ALFALFA LOOPER (Au tograp ha calif mica Speyer) 
Washington E. J. Newcomer (June 13): Report of horticultural inspector at 
Linville states, "We have one field of alfalfa cf which the first 
cutting has been taken off before these worms get started, but 
the worms are keeping the second growth eaten to the ground and 
not giving it a chance to grow." (June 16): Working primarily 
in alfalfa and when this is cut it migrates and attacks lettuce, 
beans, potatoes, and corn. 
ALFALFA WEEVIL (Phvtonoraus posticus Gyli.) 
Oregon E.G. Thompson (May 20).: At Ontario, Malheur County, adults emer- 
ged and started laying, eggs . Later cold weather checked egg lay- 
ing and development. From one-half to full-grown larvae and numer- 
ous eggs were present on this date-. 
• CLOVER LEAF WEEVIL (Hypera punctata Fab.) 
Delaware CO. Houghton (May 5): Quite common in northern Delaware this 
year. A 20-acre field of clover near Newport was so badly damaged 
that we advised plowing under the crop. 
Wisconsin J. E. Dudley, Jr. (June 7): Infestation is much heavier than the 
last two years and probably heavier than in the no real year. Swept 
from l-£ acres of alfalfa with aphidozer 3,000 larvae and 350 penta- 
tosids of three species apparently preying on weevil larvae. Possi- 
bility of severe damage before first crop is cut. 
A NEMATODE ( Cephalohus e long at us DcMan.) 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (May 1-25): Two reports of injury by the nematode 
Cephalobus .e long at us to alfalfa plants were received during May. 
CLOVER BUD WEEVIL (Phytonomtts nigrirostris Fab.) 
Illinois W. P. Flint (June 18): Examinations by J", H. Bigger show that in 
many fields in western Illinois this insect destroyed from 25 to 
nearly bC per cent of the clover heads. The same condition holds 
for ail points in central and south- centra] Illinois where examina- 
tions have been mads. The insect is now largely in the adult stage, 
CLOVEIt APHID ( Anurftph is jbakerj Cowan) 
Arkansas A. J. Ackerman (June 4); The county agent of Benton County re- 
ports clover fields throughout the county badly injured, presumably 
by the clover aphid. Gome fields almost entirely killed on this 
date.
