abundant in Winona, Freeborn, and Mower Counties in southern Minnesota, 
and in Crow Wing and Carlton Counties in oast-central part of the 
State. 
GREEN JUNE BEETLE ( Cot in is nitida L.) 
Virginia. H. G. Walker (September 25): Nearly full-grown grubs are moderately 
abundant in some spinach fields at Norfolk, where they have caused a small 
amount of damage "by burrowing under and killing the' young spinach. 
ASIATIC GARDEN BEETLE ( Autoserica castanea Arrow) 
Connecticut. E. P. Felt (September 23): Grubs caused appreciable injury to 
snapdragon plants in a Stamford greenhouse, the soil in which the plants 
were growing having been brought in recently. 
A WEEVIL ( Naupactus leucoloma Boh.) 
Florida and Alabama. J. R. Watson (September 2k): A weevil new to North 
America, identified by L. L. Buchanan as N. leucoloma , appeared this 
summer in the northern part of Walton County, Fla. , and adjacent areas 
of Alabama. According to the county agent, it did much damage to 
peanuts and some to cotton and other plants. 
CEREAL AND FOR AGE-CROP INSECTS 
WHEAT 
HESSIAN FLY (phytophaga destructor Say) 
Ohio. T. H. Parks (September 26): An examination of volunteer and early 
sown wheat on September 21 showed few eggs present. As very few of the 
aestivating insects remain alive, we do not expect any serious injury 
this fall, even to the early sown wheat. 
Indiana. C. M. Packard and associates (September 18): Dissections of wes- 
tern-Indiana material indicate summer survival of puparia in stubble 
to be from 1 to 20 percent, depending upon local conditions. Consider- 
able pupation now in progress. The mid-August rains sprouted much 
volunteer wheat in the vicinity of Lafayette and caused some fly emergence. 
A few eggs noted September S on volunteer, some already hatched. In 
two fields seen yesterday near Delphi, much of the volunteer was already 
showing infestation, mainly from small to mature larvae, with a few new 
puparia. 
Illinois. W. P. Flint (September 2k); Early fall rains have caused emergence 
of adults and a growth of volunteer wheat. ' This will, on the whole, 
be favorable to the sowing of a commercial wheat crop, as most of the 
flies will be out before the normal date of seeding. 
Missouri. L. Haseman (September 25): We will have considerable early seeded 
wheat and in most sections of the State we are finding sufficient live
