SUGAR BEETS 
BEET LEAPHOPPSR (Eutettix tenellus Bale. ) 
Idaho. J. R. Douglass (September l): Temperatures belo\7 normal during the 
month of July have had a very favorable effect on the grovrth of sugar 
beets, and the development of the beet leafhopper and the activity of 
the curly-top disease have been retarded. At the end of July some of 
the larger beets exceeded 5 inches in diameter and weighed approximately 
3 pounds. It is estimated that some of the fields in this section will 
yield 25 tons or more of sugar beets. The greater part of the beet 
acreage in this section is composed of the U. S. "0. 1 resistant beets.

areas than farther north. (August 25): Beet leafhoppers are abundant 
on Russian- this tie at Hoab and Greenriver. Cantaloups and cucumbers
