A, I. 3ourne (July 2U):' During the first week of July 
we received complaints of foliage riddling on peas by 
this caterpillar. In several parts of Hampshire County 
and one or two points in Franklin County rather extensive 
defoliation to peas was being caused by larvae of this 
species, -hich apparently were unusually abundant in 
certain small areas scattered through this region* 
PSa aPHID ( Illinoia pi si Halt.) 
1. M. Patch (July 17) : Bad infestation in Hancock County, 
York, Cumberland,, and Lincoln Counties, the damage being 
severe. (August 1): Portland Packing Company, Unity Plant, 
reports that they doubt very much if their yield will be 
in excess of 15 per cent of last year, 
A* I. 3ourne (July. 2U): Mr. Yihitcomb, entomologist at our 
Station at Vialtham, reported that the psa aphid .in that 
section of Middlesex County and in certain sections of 
Plymouth County is abundant enough to be called serious. 
Rodney Cecil (July 15) J Damage ranges from a total loss on 
many fields to a reduced yield and poor quality of peas 
on others. The infestation extends approximately 20 miles 
south, west, and north of Utica. 
There is a small area damaged in the vicinity of Cortland, 
Penn Yan, and G-eneva, N. Y. , though the area is not so large 
as that around Utica. 
C. Ft. Crosby and assistants: Is very abundant this season 
in Orsrge County. This pest has materially reduced the crop 
en most truck farms. 
C. E* Mickel (July 15): The pea aphid has recently been 
reported as very abundant on peas grown for canning purpose; 
in the southern part of the State. 
Gra 7. Khowlton (July 30) : The pea aphid is not, as numerous 
as usual, doing little damage to peas or alfalfa. 
CUC T JMB5RS 
STRIF-sr CUCUMBER 3E3TL3 ( Diabrotica vittata Fab.) 
W. E. Britton (July 2k): This beetle ros scarce early in 
the season, at Hamden, then became abundant, and many plants 
have died from wilt following larval burrows in the taproot 
This form of injury is unusually noticeable.
