Washington. H. P. Lanchcster (May): Injury "by Limonius canus Lcc. and L. 
: • -calif or nicu s Mann, to lettuce and spring-planted and transplanted onions 
.v. has been general at Walla Walla. The continuance of cool 'nights has ex- 
. tended the period of intensive injury until some fields of these crops 
"have "been entirely destroyed, while most fields show considerable damage. 
The plantings of cabbage and corn are not so extensive, nevertheless the 
injury has "been very serious. Some damage has also been noted in newly 
planted asparagus fields. The various species appeared more nearly at 
the same time than in the past several years- and the period of their 
flight has been short, being practically over for this season. 
K. E. Gibson (May): Plantings of sugar beets at Prosser were 
destroyed by wireworm (L. canus and L. calif ornicus ) feeding, while 
spring-planted wheat was severely damaged. 
California. R. E. Campbell (May 1): Populations of L. californicus in many 
Orange County fields are much increased over last year, ranging in 
numerous counts from 3 to 75 P er 10 feet of bait row (rows 2-| feet 
apart), and averaging 23. Last year's average at this time was 9- This 
increase was anticipated, owing to the large adult population last spring. 
WHITE GRUBS ( Phyllophaga spp.) 
Vermont. H. L. Bailey (May 25): May beetles have been scarce up to this date, 
but are more plentiful than last year. The first specimen was noted on 
Mjay;5.- ■ 
Delaware. D. MacCreary (May 17): The first large flight was observed on this 
date at Newark. 
Maryland. E. P. Pelt (May 23): June beetles, probably P. fusca Proel. , 
arc reported as very abundant and injurious on large oaks at Monkton. 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (May 5): May beetles are unusually -abundant at Griffin, 
feeding on loaves of oak, particularly red oak. 
Kentucky. W. A. Price -(May 26): May beetles have been very abundant in the 
bluegrass district of Kentucky. Many pin oaks and bur oaks have been 
defoliated. Elm, walnut, hackborry, and willow have also been attacked. 
Common species are P. hirticula Knoch, P. futilis Lee, P. t ristis Fab., 
P. inycrsa Horn, P. fusca Proel., P. bipartita Horn, and P.. horni Smith. 
Wisconsin. E. L. Chambers (May 20): Heavy flights have been observed in 
Dane, Sauk, Portage, La Crosse, and Monroe Counties. All stages of white 
grubs are abundant in some of the northern nurseries in' spots, and where 
no treatment was followed heavy losses have resulted to evergreen seed 
beds. 
C. L. Pluke (May 20): A heavy flight of P. tristis. Fab. began 
about the first week in May throughout southern and western counties, 
especially Jefferson, Lafayette, Iowa, Dane, Trempealeau, and Pepin.
