Oregon. D. C. Mote (February 25): N. Larson reports live hop aphids 
present after the freeze, which occurred on October 30 and continued

vallis of 1G P.

STRAWBERRY ROOT APHID ( A'Phis forbesi Weed) 
Virginia, H. G. W a llcer (February 2S): Eggs of the strawberry root louse, 
which are not nearly so abundant at Norfolk this year as last, were 
beginning to hatch on February 27.

many stravberry fields on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and in the Nor- 
folk trucking area, 
Oregon. D. C. Mote (February 25): I observed the common red spider mite

PEPPER 
PEFPZR WEEVIL ( Anthonomus eugenii Cano) 
Florida. J. R. Watson (February 2h); . The pepper weevil, which was found in 
Manatee County last year, has not been seen since August.' Complete des- 
truction of all the pepper fields during the summer is undoubtedly res- 
ponsible for this scarcity and possible elimination.

South Carolina, F, F. Bondy (January): No activity during January in the 
weevil hibernation cages at Florence, the first time in years that no 
weevils were seen in the cages in this month. 
Alabama. J. M. Robinson (February 25): Boll weevils were moderately abun- 
dant in the fields. They were forced to go into hibernation without 
food after the middle of November, 
Louisiana. R. C. Gaines (January): A few weevils were a.ctive in the hiberna- 
tion cages at Tallulah until January 17, but there was no activity after 
that date. No weevils were taken on the flight screens at Tallulah 
during the month. This is the first time during the 5 years the screens 
have been in operation that no weevils were caught in Janua.ry.
