• GRAFS FLEa-BEETLE (Haltica chalvbea 111.) 
Connecticut M, P. Zappe (April 17): beetles are mating and are mostly on 
main trunks of vines at base of side "branches, beetles are eating 
holes into "buds at H&mden. This is the first outbreak since 
1911- 
Mississipri K. L. Cockerham (April 13); The first of these beetles found 
feeding heavily upon, ^rape and ecuppernong vines at 3iloxi; some 
larvae practically grown a.nd the leaves showing rather severe 
damage. Arsenate of lead apnlied as a control measure. The 
reporter did not see the insect doing any damage in this locality 
during the past few years* 
R» W. Harned. (April 21); 'J, L. Gray, Inspector, with headquarters 
at Natchez, reports on April 1/ that flea-beetle larvae are 
causing damage to grapes in Adams County, The specimens he sent

Price at ?Dplarv.ille sent grape leaves collected from four 
^different properties that were quite seriously injured by the 
larvae of aha£ ^e take to be the grape flea-beetle. These 
insects ate attacking bo';h the muscadine and bunch grapes. They 
have appeared in that section of the State in large enough numbers 
to do considerable damage, 
Arizona Arizona Mews Letter, Vol, 3, Ho, 3 (March 31),: During the early 
.part of the past growing reason many grape plantings in the Salt 
River Valley were more orlless severely injured by the grapevine 
flea-beetle. In the Salt River Valley the beetles make their 
aopearance ^hen the vines have made a growth of from 1 to 3 
feet. The beetles appear in great numbers and at once start 
feeding on the buds and tender growth. The leaves are strrDrsi, 
leaving only the skeleton attached to the vine. The most serious 
damage is done to the growing buds and terminal shoots. This 
damage, however, is likely to escape the notice of the grower, 
who sees only the more noticeable injury to the larger leaves.
