served to be very abundant in winter quarters in Missouri. During May 
hopperburn was very serious in the early potato districts of North 
Carolina., in which State this insect was also seriously attacking soybeans 
and peanuts. Late in -June damage was reported from Indiana* In northern 
Illinois the ieafhopper was much more abundant than usual, severely 
injuring potatoes and beans. Similar unusual inf estacions<~were reported 
from Iowa and moderate infestations in the northwest portions of Ohio 
and in parts of South Dakota* In Kansas this insect became extremely 
abundant in bhe alfalfa fields, where it did very considerable damage though 
this v;as not easily distinguished from that produced by root diseases. The 
insect was also abundant in YTisconsin, 
SUGAR BEET LiSAFHOPPIR, 
!, The sugar beet leafhbpper ( Eutettix tenellns Baker) has been numerous 
in the beet fields of Utah since early spring, and considerable curly- 
top disease has resulted throughout most of the State, The first notice- 
able injury in the northern part of Utah occurred in some fields at Lehi, 
Farmington, Layton, North Ogden, and Willard t The disease developed rather 
slowly in most pares of the State in spite of the large number of leaf- 
hoppers present throughout the season. The beets in most areas had acquired 
good size before late-season injury became serious, damage starting to- 
ward the end of August in most parts of the State. Before the end of the 
season, the beets were nearly all severely curled at Lehi, North Farmington, 
Lynndyl, Leamington, 3-rantsville, Hooper, American Pork, and IJorth Ogden, 
while considerable damage had resulted in many fields at Layton, Delta, 
Santaquin, northwest of Provo , Goshen, Cache CTunitaon , Lakeview, Penrose, 
Bothwell, Thatcher, Bear River City, Plain City, North Garland, Honeyville, 
Draper, and scattered fields throughout the State. Damage was fairly 
light in Cache Valley in some parts of Boxelder, Salt Lake,- and Davis 
Counties, and in most fields between Nephi and M a nti, Considering the 
State as a whole, the damage from curly-top would be proportionately Less 
in the territory north of Manti than in areas south of this point,"

PEA APHID. 
"The pea aphid ( illinoia p is! K alt. ) appeared very early in the 
season in threatening numbers in the alfalfa fields in parts of Oklahoma., 
About the middle of Aoiil reports were received of damage from parts of 
Kansas. The infestations in Kansas rapidly developed into an outbreak. 
Heavy rains, ho" T ev3r, toward the last week in the month reduced the aphids 
to negligible numbers. During May reports of serious damage were received 
from Utah and southern California and during the latter part of that 
month and early June other serious damage to newly-seeded alfalfa was 
reported fr>ora Nebraska. The insect was also prevalent in parts of 
Illinois, Missouri, and Mississippi, Toward the end of June there were 
indications in the pea-canning districts of Wisconsin that this insect 
would be more than usually abundant during July, This condition prevailed 
up until about the middle of July w hen severe wind and rains reduced the 
dutbreaks to a negligible factor. Early in the season an unusually severe 
infestation developed on alfalfa in Idaho, This outbreak developed while 
the plants wore still very small and in many cares they completely elimi-
