Heavy damage to sugar beefs by the greenhouse leaf tier was reported 
from Orange County, Calif. The sugar content of the beets in infested fielis 
is so low as to render then hardly worth harvesting 
The satin moth was reported as occurring in Oregon, in the TJillamette 
Valley. This is the first record of the occurrence of this insect in that 
State. 
One of the elm leaf aphids, Tuberculatus ulnifolii Monell, was present 
in outbreak numbers in Iowa and Nebraska. 
Very heavy infestations of crickets in houses located in the vicinity 
of public dumps were reported fron Maine, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin. 
In the Massachusetts infestation the insects were so numerous as to force 
the tenants to leave the houses. 
The screw worn infestation in the Gulf region, from Florida to Texas, . 
has developed to serious proportions an;' control campaigns are under way 
over a large part of the territory. 
THE MOEE IMPORTANT RECORDS IN CANADA 
FOR AUGUST AKD SEPTEMBER I93H 
Grasshopper migration flights were practically over in Saskatchewan by 
the beginning of August, The recorded flights this year were fewer, smaller, 
and less far-reaching than in 1933- 1^ general, grasshoppers were notably 
less abundant than during the same period last year. Damage to maturing crops 
over the infested area, although serious, was materially lighter than in 1933 - 
As drought and high temperatures were extremely favorable to the pest, this 
definite decrease in the autumn infestation is attributed to the general success 
of the control compaign. In Manitoba and Alberta warm weather early in August 
increased grasshopper damage and flights, and oats and barley in certain sec- 
tions were injured considerably. Later in the month this damage was checked 
by cool weather. Since the middle of August grasshopper activities have been 
largely confined to egg laying. Throughout British Columbia where grasshop- 
pers have not been abundant for some years, there are evidences of a general 
increase that may have serious consequences in interior valleys in 1935 - 
First-year white grubs arc abundant in southern end central Quebec, es- 
pecially in old sod, with grubs exceeding 500 per square yard in places. 
Reports from Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba indicate that infestation by 
the Colorado potato beetle is about normal. 
In southern Ontario the European corn borer infestation is materially less 
than in 1933 and damage, in general, is slight. It is probable that thorough 
ar.-up measures in the spring and an increased corn acreage arc responsible 
for the decreases noted.
