LEAFHOPPERS ( Jas s idae ) 
A. I, Bourne (May 21) ! Leafhoppers are slightly more abund- 
ant than plant lice but considerably belov; normal. In fact, 
throughout most sections there was so little plant-louse and 
leafhopper infestation that growers did not find it necessary 
to employ nicotine in any of the pre-blossom sprays. Leaf- 
hoppers are beginning, however', to become somewhat more abund- 
ant so that we are recommending nicotine for our calyx sprays 
as a matter of precaution.
