H. L. Bailey (September 23): The potato leafhopper is 
moderately abundant throughout the Stste but is more plentiful 
in the southern and western sections. 
..'. J. Reid, Jr. (September 24): The potato leafhopper is "very 
abundant on fall potato plantings and fall snap beans in the 
Charleston area. The insect is present in greater numbers 
than observed in this section in any previous season. A 5- 
acre field on one farm is suffering severely from an attack. 
Prequent rains have rendered control measures ineffective. 
The adult stage of the insect greatly predominates in numbers 
in the fields at this date. Temperatures have been too high 
for rapid potato growth. The insect is much less abundant on 
the beans than on the potato plantings. Damage to the bean 
plants does not at the present appear to be serious. 
T. H. Parks (September 27): The potato leafhopper is more 
abundant than one year ago, but not so numerous as it was during 
the serious epidemic between 1919 and 1923.

responsible for serious hopperburn of potatoes at Zlkhart and

hopper is reported as very abundant in lilmore County and doing 
much damage in Carlton County. It appears to be moderately 
abundant over the remainder of the State.
