PEA APHID ( Illinoia -pi si Kalt . ) 
C. D. Lebert (March 23)': The pea aphid is very abundant 
this spring on peas, alfalfa, and vetch in the Salt River Val- 
ley. In many cases the plants are so laden with aphids that 
they are weighted down flat upon the ground and the foliage 
is covered with honey dew. Many pea "plants have been killed 
on the experimental farms near Mesa. Hymenopterous parasites, 
syrphids, and ladybeetles were noticed to be working on the 
aphids. 
Insect Pest Report, Ore. Agr. Coll. and Exp. Sta. (March): 
There will probably be local damage to vetch and peas this 
year as there is every year. The number of pea aphids in the 
field at the present time does not indicate a general outbreak 
unless exceedingly favorable weather occurs. Mr. L. P. Rockwood 
reports a survey of four or five Austrian winter field pea fields 
near Corvallis in March resulted in an average of two aphids to 
one hundred sweeps of the net. Very scarce. The pea aphid was 
just beginning to damage a vetch crop in an orchard near Kansas 
City community, Washington County, February 12. This vetch was 
seeded early in August, 1930. A fungous disease, Snt omopU&to TS - . 
aphidi s H^ffflan, was just beginning to work on the aphids. Sy 
February 23, there was a reduction in numbers of aphids by about 
75 per cent, probably due to the fungous disease. iTo pea aphid 
found on Austrian peas near Forest Grove except a few in one 
poor field which had been disked back on the same land in Au- 
gust, 1930.
