Indiana. J. J. Davis (May 25): The clover leaf weevil was reported on 
May lH and 15 to "be damaging clover in the northern third of the State. 
Some specimens showed the white-mold, fungous disease and, as the weather 
continued wet and no further reuorts of abundance were received, it is 
assumed that natural control checked the outbreak. 
Michigan. R. Hutson (May 20): The clover leaf weevil has been reported 
from Hartford on sweetclover and from Centerville on red clover. 
Washington. E. J. Newcomer (May 21): Larvae of this weevil have been par- 
ticularly numerous on alfalfa in the lower Yakima Valley this spring. 
It is possible that this is the result of the two mild winters here.

California. A. E. Michelbacher (May 21): On May 6 the clover leaf weevil 
was found in fair abundance in Humboldt County. The exact location was 
about 6 miles east of Garbeiville. To my knowledge this is a new locality 
for this insect. 
SUGAR GAM 
SUGARCANE BORER (Diatraea saccharalis Fab.) 
Florida. J. T w. Ingram (April 30): The sugarcane borer infestation in the 
Everglades sugar section was less than 0.5 'nercent at this time. 
LESSER CORN STALK BORER ( Elasmonalpus lignosellus Zell.) 
Florida. J. W. Ingram (April 30): The growing points of about U percent 
of the sugarcane plants in the Lake Okeechobee district had been killed 
by lesser corn stalk borers. Injury in some fields ran as high as 30 
percent. Nearly all of the injured plants were suckering out, as the 
point of injury was high enough in the plant to permit this. There 
will be little loss of stand, although the delayed growth will result 
in somewhat lowered sugar content in the injured stalks. Only slight 
injury was found in cane fields at Fellsmere and at Quincy. 
• SUGARCAFE BEETLE Quetheola ruglceps Lee. ) 
Georgia. T. L. Bissell (May 11): Young corn in several gardens in one 
part of Griffin was severely attacked and corn 18 inches high was killed. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (May 2h): The rough-headed cornstalk borer is 
reported as attacking corn in Ranburne. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (May 23): Inspector IT. D. Feets renorts having ob- 
served injury to corn and sugarcane at several nlaces in the south- 
western section of the State. A correspondent at Rome, Sunflower County, 
sent us specimens of these beetles on May S> with a renort that his 
stand of corn had been ruined.
