-517- 
Louisiana W. E. Kinds (September 26) t The three-cornered alfalfa 
leaf hopper has caused a number of complaints of injury to 
alfalfa fields ranging from Tallulah to Baton Rouge along the 
■Mississippi Valley. The injured fields turn yellow and close 
examination shows that the stems have been practically girdled 
by the feeding of the nymphs close to the ground. The gall 
formation following this feeding cuts off the flow of sap to 
the tops and the cortex tissues just above the gall break down 
and decay.
