TURNIP APHID (Aphis pseudobrassicae Davis) 
•J. J. Davis (March 31): Turnip aphids are the most serious 
pest attacking cultivated turnips, and apparently growers are 
experiencing more trouble each year. One grower who sows 20 
or more acres in Marion County advises that there was hardly 
a turnip or Sutton radish raised in his vicinity last fall 
"because of these aphids. 
R. W. Harned and assistants (April): This insect is 
reported as moderately abundant in the territory surrounding 
Cleveland and very abundant in a district in the east-central 
part of the State.
