. . "beans 
North Carolina. P. D. Sanders (May): The bean leaf beetle was in juring^ rather 
severely at Fayetteville May 9, Nashville May 11, and Hope May 11. 
South Carolina. F. Sherman (May 22): The bean leaf beetle is more abundant than 
it has been for the last 4 or 5 years. 
W. J. Reid, jr. (April 20): The bean leaf beetle is quite abundant on snap 
bean plantings in the commercial growing areas around Charleston. The infes- 
tation is suffciently great to warrant control measures, especially since 
the plants are being retarded by dry soil conditions. 
Georgia. W. H. Clarke (May 8): A small area of field peas at Thomaston had 
been injured to such an extent that replanting has been necessary. Consider- 
able numbers of the beetles are present on beans in gardens. 
Kansas. H. R. Bryson (May 25): The bean leaf beetle was reported doing injury 
to beans in Doniphan County and at Manhattan. • 
Tennessee. J. U. Gilmore (May 15): Bean leaf beetles are plentiful and about 
the usual amount of damage to snap beans has been observed at Clarksville. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (May 23): Injury to beans was reported from 
the following counties: Sunflower County, May 4; Montgomery County, May 18; 
Oktibbeha County, May 16; and Jackson County, May 15. (Abstract, J.A.H.) 
Teocas. R. K. Fletcher (April 20): The beetle is reported as very abundant on 
beans at Garland, Dallas Co. Beans are severely injured.

PEA APHID ( Illinois pi si Kalt.) 
Maryland. E, N. Cory (May 25): The pea aphid has been extremely injurious to 
alfalfa in Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, Howard, Baltimore, and Cecil Counties 
and probably elsewhere throughout the State, but these are the only counties 
from which we have records. Practically wiped out by a fungus disease. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (May 23): The pea aphid is very abundant, destroying whole 
fields of alfalfa at St. Joseph, May 1-5. 
Kansas. IT. B. Hungerford (M^y ll): The pea aphid is quite abundant on alfalfa 
about Lawrence and is moving into the canning peas. There seems to be a 
splendid start of parasites and predators in the alfalfa infestations and as 
yet no damage has been done to the peas. 
H. R. Bryson (May 25): The pea aphid is still a menace to alfalfa and garden 
peas in Kansas. The alfalfa is 12-14 inches in height and the injury is not 
so apparent, although the aphids are abundant in the fields. Reports of aphid 
injury have been received from Chapman, Hanover, Hiawatha, Newton, and Man- 
hattan. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (May 23): Aphids, probably I. pisi , were reported as very 
abundant on Austrian winter peas at Colur.bus, Lowndes County, on May 15; and 
mod erately abundant on English peas at Ocean Springs, Jackson County, on 
May 15.
