I.I. H. S T -enk (September 3): Aside from the aster aphid and uea 
aphid the only aphid seriously complained of during the month of 
August was the melon aphid, and even of these the complaints were 
much fewer then usual. Ho doubt the dry summer ^as largely res- 
ponsible lor this small amount of aphid trouble. 
BELTS 
SUGAR-BEET CTTOBM ( Lcnosteze s ticticalis L. ) 
Geo. P. Khowlton (September 5): Beet web^orms are less numerous 
in northern Utah this year and doing less damage than two years ago. 
BEET LEAEHCPPER ( Butettix tenella Baker) 
Geo. P. Knowlton (September 5): Leafhoppers on beets are less nume] 
ous now than earlier in the season. Often it is hard to find a 
single specimen in fields badly damaged with curly-leaf. Many 
fields are being plowed up, and others are neglected because of the 
damage from this disease. The Cornish sugar factor??" will not run 
this year, and probably others will not. Around Garland the crop 
of beets probably will be less than 7 tons per acre where there is 
a crop worth harvesting.

BLACK SWALLOW-TAIL BUTTERFLY ( Papilio -qq Irenes Fab.) 
A. E. Wilkinson (September 22): This insect is reported attacking 
celery. There has been an increase in abundance as compared with
