A„ E. Stene (July IS): The striped cucumber beetle has been 
quite abundant 
L. C. Tyler (June 21): They are found riddling the foliage of 
cucumbers, squash, and melons in Nassau County, making it necessary 
to apply control measures everywhere. 
W. B* Davis (June 22): Present in large numbers in Suffolk County. 
R. H. Pettit (July 22): The cucumber beetle has appeared in force 
in the State this year. We have recommended arsenate of soda 
and gypsum dust which is apparently being used successfully, 
although some growers seem to prefer using the more expensive 
nicotine dust and enjoy seeing the immediate discomfiture of the 
little pests. 
S. B. Fracker (July 15) : Reported from the following counties: 
Barron, Brown, Crawford, Dane, Eau Claire, Bond du Lac, Jpckson, 
Jefferson, Portage, Washington, Waushara* Winnebago, and Wood*

TWELVE-SPOTTED CUCUMBER -BEETLE ( Diabrotica l?~punctata JOlU^l ) 
H. F. Dietz (June): The twelve-spotted, cucumber beetle has been 
very abundant. In some cases they have riddled young bean plants 
badly. These beetles have also been found feeding on such unusual 
things as young peach foliage early in the month. This is due to 
the fact that its normal flood of corn and melons was lacking at thi 
time.
