D. M. DeLong (July 2U): Found the Mexican bean beetle at 
Eir.dlay,, This is in Hancock CounLy in the northwestern part of the 
State about 20 miles from the Michigan border. 
J. Jo Davis (July 22): The first authentic repord of the 
occurrence of the Mexican bean, beetle in this State was received 
July 21, the specimens having been collected by the county 
agent at Madison July 19. HfV further information is available 
on this infestation but the record is authentic as the county 
agent sent in specimens of larvae which are about twr^thirds 
grown. • ' ' 
H. German (July 2k): The. Mexican beanebeetle seems to have taken 
possession of nearly or quite all of the northern counties in the 
eastern half of the State during the present season. My latest 
reports show that it is spreading rqpidly and doing a good deal 
of mischief. Specimens have recently come from Lincoln and 
Mason Counties and -unquestionable information as to its presence 
in Floyd, Jefferson, and other adjacent counties, showing that 
it has spread over all cu* territory from Meade and Simpson 
Counties on the West to the eastern boundary of the State. 
ITeale ? -> Howard (July 21); In the vicirity of Newport the 
infestation is severe and unsprayc.i teens are destroyed or heavily 
infested. Excellent results are being obtained on large acreages 
again this year with magnesium arseno.te need as a spray. Many 
reports of serious damage have come from other points in eastern 
Tennessee. 
Neale E„ Howard (July 15): During the month reports of the 
beetle .were received from Elmore and Chambers Counties. (July 21); 
The infestation is increasing ancE>=rr^,t ields of beans have bean 
destroyed. In general, the infestation has been lighter than 
in previous years and seme early beans matured without serious 
injury from the beetle. 'The survival over the winter in hiberna* 
tion cages was lower than the previous year* 
IU W„ Harned (July 7): The Mexican bean beetle has now been 
found on two properties in the northern port of Lee County. This 
makes five counties in the northeastern part 'of the State that are 
now infested: Itawamba, Tishrc.ingo, Alcorn, Prentiss, and Lee. 
C. L Corkins (July 10): I have neglected to report this pest 9 
which I found upon coming, to the State last year. This is 
apparently, from all records available $ the third season here of 
this new pest. It has extended its range 30 miles north of last 
yearns infestation.
