C. L. Corkins (August 25): The writer found this insect at Wheat- 
land, Flatte County, early in August, 1923, though the county agent 
stated that he had seen it the previous year. So far it has attack 
ed only gsr&sn herns, but, has done severe damage to these. This 
year the insect has spread from Wheatland northward to the territory 
immediately southwest of Bvvyer. 
BEAN APHID (Aphis rumicis Linn.) 
Utah

plants here, being especially numerous on truck crops and burdock 
the last two summers. 
LT.Hk BEAU VINE-BORER ( Honootilota pergratialis Hulst) 
Mississippi R. W. Harned (September 13): The lima bean vine-borer has been 
received from two properties in Marshall County. 
PFAS 
PEA APHID ( Illinois , o:s i Kalt. ) 
Wisconsin J. E. Dudley, jr.: During the first week in July infestation of 
the pea aphid in eastern -and southern Wisconsin assumed such pro- 
portions that a large per cent of the crop was threatened; and 
growers and canners became much alarmed. 
It was found in the Ooiumfrus region that the continued heavy 
rains brought about such a rapid spread of the fungus disease 
that aphids disappeared as by a miracle and the infestation was 
reduced to a point where it was of no consequence. This same 
condition of heavy rains followed by fungus was felt a few days 
later along the Lake Michigan shore until by the 15th it appeared 
that the threatened damage had oeen greatly alleviated, if not 
entirely prevented. 
During the last half of the month no reports of severe aphid 
injury have come to the laboratory, and in view of the abundant 
moisture and generally good yields, it has been felt that the 
aphid, has not caused much damage. Just recently, however, 
(August 6) reports of injury have come from northern Wisconsin 
and from Door County where there is a considerable dried-pea 
business. 
Nebraska 
Virginia 
M. H. Svenk (September 3): Sweet peas were more or less injured 
in eastern Nebraska by the pea aphid.

Herbert Spencer (September 25): There have been several reports 
of green clover worm on fall English peas in Ac comae and Northampton 
Counties (Eastern Shore). In the Norfolk section a few larvae of 
this insect are present, but no appreciable damage is being done.
