A MYRIaPOD ( Scutigerella immaculata Newp. ) 
H&eA. Gossard (May 22): The symphylid S cutigerslla . immaculata 
Newport was doing considerable damage to greenhouse crops in 
Cincinnati in April. Some growers think damage is reduced by 
using plenty of well-rotted barnyard manure. This decaying organic 
matter supplies the natural food of the insect so it is not 
obliged to attack growing crops, according to the theory of these 
growers. . > •

INSECTS INJURIOUS TO 
STORED PRODUCTS 
SOUTHERN COWPEA WEEVIL ( Mylabris ovirimaculatus Fab . ) 
Monthly Letter of the Bureau of Entomology No. 132 (April): In 
April C. K. Fisher examined, at Ehino, Calif., a stock of bean 
straw which had stood out in the open two winters and one summer. 
Many- black-eyed cowpeas were found infested with Mylabrls ' 
qustrima cul a t us Fab. Enough weevils were found breeding .in the 
seeds which had escaped the threshing operation to furnish a 
source of infestation for the coming growing season. Last fall an 
investigation of infestations in the Chino region showed that this 
same stock of bean straw was responsible for infestation in 192U 
of beans growing as far as one and one-fourth miles away. Mr. 
Fisher also found Mvlabris pbtectus Say breeding in another 
- stock of red kidney bean straw two years old.
