STHA5BEERY CHO'TiT MINER ( Aristotelia fragariae Busck) 
.Tashington um.-H. Baker (September' 19): One field of strawberries 
of four different plantings near Fuyallup was visited which 
did not yield extra well this season and in which the infesta- 
tion T7as nearly 100 per cent. Sven runner plants, not yet 
rooted, were infested, although the plants appeared to have 
made a good growth this season. Another field, of a little 
less than an acre in extant which is located about one-fourth 
of a mile distant produced S.200 lbs. this season and had 
only a very slight infestation. 
STRAWBERRY WHTTEFLY ( Trial eurodes oackardi Morrill) 
Massachusetts J. V. Schaffner, jr. ( September 25) : A market gardener 
called our attention to a severe infestation of whitefly on 
his strawberry bed in Ar.dover. He reported having first no- 
ticed the whitefly on the strawberries last year and that the 
present infestation \ as partlj r due at least, to his using 
plants from the old bed. Perhaps the drougty weather was 
also favorable for- their increase. 
ASPARAGUS 
ASPARAGUS 3— 27.11 (C rioceris as earagj L. ) 
Iowa C. J. Drake (August 23): This insect did considerable 
damage to asparagus in the vicinities of Cedar Rapids, TTater- 
loo, Dec Moines, and Ames. It is spreading westward very 
rapidly and small infest ations ' have been reported in the 
western part, of the State. 
Colorado C. P. Gillette (September 21): This insect is gradually 
spreading about Denver and a few specimens were found in the 
vicinity of Pert Collins for the first time this summer. 
Oregon D. C. Mote (July): Unusually severe this year. One grower 
had to dump over ,, ; 2,000 worth of asparagus because of this 
beetle.

Virginia P. J. Chapman (September 21): Thereiis little likelihood 
that appreciabel damage will take place tc the fall crop of 
snap beans grown in the Ubrf oik-Portsmouth area. The harvest 
period extends from October 1 to November 15. Most sorious 
injury took place this year in mid-August, ovring to second- 
brcod activity. Lima beans have been injured in practically 
all instances owing to their long period cf growth.
