C. N. Ainslie (August 20): Berry growers in the vicinity 
of Sioux City are much annoyed with this leaf roller, which has

ASPARAGUS 
ASPARAGUS BEETLE ( Crioceris asparagi L . ) 
California Monthly News Letter, Office of Los Angeles Co. Agr. Comm. 
Vol. 12, No. 8, (August 15): Crioceris asparagi ,a more or less 
serious pest of asparagus throughout central California, has 
recently made its appearance in Southern California at Bell. 
The owners of the field were inclined to believe that the 
beetles have been present for several years, but this is the 
first season that they have caused sufficient damage to attract 
attention. The principal damage was found to occur late in the 
season and to be due to the feeding of larvae and adults on the 
foliage of the older plants. In northern fields the principal 
damage is to the new sprouts.
