BEETS 
BEET LEAFHOPPER (Eutettix tenellus Bak. ) 
Montana. J. R. Douglass and D. E. Eox (April) : Surveys in the Billings 
beet-growing district from April 20 to 23 revealed that a small number 
of females of E. tenellus survived the past winter in that district 
and that some of the host plants had germinated the previous fall. 
The surviving adults were found near Billings and Warden, practically 
in the center of the district where the curly-top disease of sugar 
beets was most prevalent in 193^ c " n( i 1335* The fact that even a few 
individuals can survive winter conditions in the Billings district is 
of great importance, as it demonstrates the ability of this pest to 
survive a moderately severe Montana winter and shows at least a 
temporary extension of this insect's range. 
Utah. G. F. Knowlton (May 19): Beet leafhoppers survived in reasonable 
abundance again in the Grant sville-Timpie area of Tooele County.
