STRAWBERRY ROOT APHID ( Aohi s forbesi Wtei ) 
".",'. A. Thomas (July 17): The strawberry root louse infesta^ 
tion seems to be increasing rapidly in the strawberry-growing 
areas of North Carolina. The in: at Chadbourn is ex- 
tremely heavy at this time. In many fields it is almost . - 
possible to find a plant that does no; carry a fairly heavy 
inf' station. The berry growi rs are very much discouraged o- - 
ing to the heavy loss sustained in ilants where I 
aphids ore present in large numbers. Fields planted in early 
spring already show a loss in plr.: ts of from 25 to 50 per oent 
und. r t ther Oonditions. '■', f hen sets in t 
age will I nor ease much more rapidly, judging from past 
records.
