BEST LEAFHOPPZR (Eutettix tonelius Bak. ) 
Colorado. 0. A. Kills (September 22): The sugar beet crop in the "beet-growing 
sections of the western slope of Colorado is considerably above average 
this year. Large, vigorous "beets are found generally in the Grand Valley, 
Delta-Montrose, and Rifle districts. This favorable condition of sugar 
"beets is partly due to the low populations of "beet leafhopper, which dis- 
persed into these districts in April and May.

in places near the local "breeding areas.
