ALFALFA WEEVIL ( Phytoncmu s posticus Gyll. ) 
Don B Whelan (July 24): In view of the fact that a new infesta- 
tion of the alfalfa weevil has been found near the Nebraska 
line at Torringtcn, Goshen County, Wyo. , it might be well to 
make known that in June I made a survey of the North Platte 
Valley in Scotts Bluff County, Nebr. , for this pest. Beginning 
at the Wyoming-Nebraska line, alfalfa fields, both north and 
south of Henry, were examined east to Minatare. Sweepings "' ere 
made and new haystacks were examined without any trace of this 
pest being found.
