W. H. White (June 6). "The potato aphid has caused serious 
daiiage to potatoes on the eastern shore of Virginia. The 
8; Jd was particularly abundant in the vicinity of Onley and 
Eastville . The fungous disease t^.9 Apparently checking the 
spread of this pest to a certain extent. The recent heavy 
rains have also been a factor in control. The principle 
damage was to the terminal shoots which were in many instances 
completely killed." (June 8) "The potato aphid has caused 
serious damage in the Norfolk section. At the present time 
a fungous disease is preventing its further spread." 
A. N. Conradi (June l) . "County agent of Charleston County 
reports that this insect is exceptionally abundant this year 
Where he estimates that the yield has been cut 30 per cent 
by this insect." 
POTATO LEAFHOPPER (Em^oasca mali LeB.) 
M. D. Leonard (June 19). "Adults of this leafhopper are now 
fairly abundant about Pompton. They were first observed tho 
early part of this month. No nymphs as yet or any sign of 
hopperburn* w 
F. A. Fenton (June 20) . "The potato leafhopper appeared in Lee 
County June 5 and in central Iowa June 12. The first spray 
was put on in southern Iowa Counties the week of June 12 and 
is being put on in central Iowa thewweek of June 19." 
TARNISHED PLANT-BUG ( Lygus prat ens is L.) 
M. H. Swenk (June 15). "Early in June a potato field in 
Richardson County became so heavily infested with the tarnished 
plant-bug that many of the plants wilted down and died, with 
occasionally a heavy loss in a field." 
POTATO-TUBER Y70RM ( Phthorim aea o^erculel la Zell.) 
R. ¥. Harned (June 17). "Recently larvae and pupae were 
collected from the stems of potato plants at McKenry. These 
were determined by Dr. F. H. Chittenden as possibly the potato- 
tuber moth. This is the first record we have of this insect 
occurring in Mississippi and may eventually prove to be some 
other species ." 
MITES ( Rhizoglvohus sp.) 
M. H. Swenk. "Shortly after the middle of May a field of early 
Ohio potatoes in Buffalo County became seriously attacked by 
mites to such an extent that about 20 per cent of the plants 
were badly hurt, the mites penetrating far up the stems of the 
plants from deep pits on the sides of the roots. Other fields 
of early Ohios in the vicinity were similarly but less seriou3ly 
affected while none of this injury was observed on Cobblers ."
