spector, reported observing Leptinotarsa decemlineata in abundance

Ridge. 
Harry P. Diets (July 23): Throughout the whole southwestern sec- 
tion of the State the Colorado potato beetle has been unusiialiy 
abundan t . 
S. B. Fracker (July 10): Potato beetles seem to be normally abund- 
ant throughout the potato growing sections of this State. Beetles 
were mating in Clark County on June 25, and were rather abundant in 
a belt extending diagonally across the State from Polk County to 
Ozaukee County. 
Clipping from Yakima Herald (July 2): The beetles are found from 
one end of the county to the other. Some have been found in the 
Naches district and some have been reported from many other dis- 
tricts of the county. 
"I am satisfied that the infestation in the Naches district has 
come through tourist travel." said kr. Close. "There is no use 
in fooling ourselves concerning the control of the Colorado potato 
beetle. 7e can not now exterminate it or keep it exterminated 
in the county. The best we c-n do is to "atch it closely and 
combat it and come as near -annihilating it as possible."

potato lsp.fhoppers , causing considerable hopperburn, v/hich ve 
seldom encounter in this section. The damage cane when the 
potatoes were rather mature, just a few weeks before the time 
of digging. Ho control measures were applied in this section 
( Norfolk) for the leafhooners.
