Wisconsin 
C. L. Fluke (May 7): A peculiar situation exists in 
Wisconsin in regard to the appearance of June "beetles which 
at present we are not able to explain. According to our 
information the spring of 1932 should be the logical time 
for appearance of the main brood of adults. However, this 
spring there lias already been a heavy flight of beetles. 
They began appearing as early as April 13 and it seems as 
if they are beetles which should have appeared next year. 
We believe that the long continued hot weather of last 
year caused these insects to develop in two years, which 
is apparently going to upset the brood cycles. Prom our 
counts about 50 per cent remained as larvae over to this 
year. There are approximately 40,000 adult beetles per 
acre in the generally infested territory of southwestern 
Wisconsin. This refers of course to the pasture land.
