STRAWBERRY LEAF- ROLLER ( Ancylis comptana Froehl.) 
Nebraska M. H. Swenk (June 15-July l) : In Hall County a single serious 
case of infestation with the strawberry leaf-roller was reported 
in the middle of June. 
Utah I. M. Hawley (June 15): Many complaints of injury from this insect 
have been received* 
BEANS 
SEED-CORN MAGGOT ( Hylemvia cilicrura Rond.) 
Utah I. M. Hawley (June 15): Beans near McCormick, Millard County, xvere 
about 50 per cent infested and replanting was necessary. They were 
planted right after a rainy period, when the ground was quite moist. 
COWPEA CURCULIO ( Chalctsdermus aeneus Bofa-.) 
Kansas J. R. Horton (July 6): Adults of the cowpea curculio continue to 
puncture the stalks, and doubtless are depositing their eggs in 
large numbers at this time. The greatest number of weevils to a 
plant was 6, the average about 3. A few were found on cantaloupe. 
MEXICAN BEAN BEETLE ( Epilachna corrupt a Muls.) 
South Carolina J. A. Berly (July 16): This insect has been forwarded to this 
office from points in Oconee, Lickens, and Greenville Counties, 
apparently spreading more than last year. 
Alabama W. E. Hinds (June 30): The Mexican bean beetle taken at Auburn 
May 8 has died after having deposited about 400 eggs in seven egg 
groups. These eggs have practically all hatched. No sign of 
the beetle has been reported in fields in Lee County, but undoubted- 
ly such infestation occurs. 
New Mexico R. L. Middlebrook (July 11) : For some unknown reason the bean 
beetle has not appeared in the southern half of this State in any 
numbers and the bean growers of the Mesilla Valley and other south- 
ern valleys have had no trouble to date. Usually at this time of 
the year there are many inquiries. Owing to the fact that few 
inquiries were received an investigation was made and it was found 
that there are few insects in comparison with last year and former 
years and practically no damage is resulting so far. (July 16): 
Only a few larvae have appeared so far. The first brood is behind 
time. Few eggs mature. Very few batches have been laid in 
comparison with former years at Dona Ana. The string bean crop 
will be off before much damage can result, but the Pinto may get 
c aught .
