Georgia. T. L. Bissell (May 5): ne "beetle found today on beans at Griffin. 
Occasional beetles have been found for 2 weeks on peach trees but this 
is the first on "beans. (May 21 ): The beetle continues to "be scarce 
at Experiment, doubtless on account of the long-continued dry weather, 
which is also keeping the "beans hack. A report that the beetle is 
injurious at Thonasville has not been verified. 
Ohio. N. E. Howard (May 20): The first beetle was found in the field at 
South Point on May 8 and had apparently been feeding for a day or nore. 
3y May 18 a number of beetles were present in each field examined but 
were less numerous than usual. 
BEAN LEAF BEETLE ( Cerotoma trifurcafa Eorst.) 
Virginia. H. G. Walker (May 25): The bean leaf beetle is very abundant at • 
Norfolk and it seems especially destructive because of the dry weather, whid 
has greatly retarded the growth of the beans. 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (May 5): The bean leaf beetle has severely riddled 
the leaves of snap beans. Injury was first noted about 2 weeks ago at 
Experiment and Griffin. 
Ohio. N. E. Howard (May 18): The bean leaf beetle has been numerous on early 
beans at South Point. The first leaves in' some fields averaged 20-holes 
per leaf. Injury to trifoliate leaves is not great and the infestation 
is subsiding. 
Indiana. J. J. Davis (May 23): The bean leaf beetle was reported to be 
damaging garden beans in a number of localities in the southern half of 
the State, Torre Haute being the most northern point reported. Most of 
the reports came in from May 11 to lh. 
Kentucky. W-. A. Price (May 26): The bean leaf beetle has been more destruc- 
tive to the bean crop than the Mexican bean beetle, which is very 
common. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (May 23): The bean leaf beetle has been 
rather uniformly destructive over the State.
