, GARDEN SLUGS (Acrriolima x arrest i s L. ) 
Oregon A. L. Lovett (April 15). "Serious injury to field crops of 
clover, rye, and oats occurred in late fall and early winter* 
Fields near Dayton being so completely destroyed as to requite 
replanting, and in some cases the succeeding crop was likewise 
seriously attacked. Vetch in the Station variety plats was 
heavily attacked. The combination of late winter snows and low 
temperature has noticeably checked this pest." 
CLOVER -LEAF WEEVIL $Hyj>era punctata. F ab.) 
Ohio T. H. Parks (April). "Larvae much less abundant than last year. 
Only one complaint of serious damage. Alfalfa much less affected 
than red clover." 
H. A. Gossard (April 27). "The clover leaf weevil was received 
from Caledonia, April 24, and was observed to have done much 
damage about Chillicothe during the first three weeks of April, 
tut has been attacked by Empusa and is now much reduced in numbers. 
Illinois S. C. Chandler (April 10). "Considerable numbers in all fields 
in Wabash County, one area being defoliated." 
Missouri L. Haseman (April 19). "This insect is worse than usual, especially 
in central Missouri. Continuous rain has assisted the disease 
in checking this pest ' in' Jackson County; one sample was 100 per 
cent diseased. Mr. A» C. Burrill also noticed this disease on 
clover -leaf weevil in Shelby County." 
LESSER CLOVER -LEAF WEEVIL (P hytonomus niprirostris Fab.) 
Ohio T. H. Parks. "Beetles were flying to clover fields during the 
first two weeks in April. Hibernation took place in the largest 
numbers in the fallen leaves of woodlots. Damage to clover will 
probably appear by late May." 
COW PEAS 
COWPEA CURCULIO ( Chal code rims aeneus Boh.) 
Georgia 0. I. Snapp (April 13). "Many of these weevils have been observed 
in wounds, crotches, etc., of peach trees in orchards planted last 
year to cowpeas in the Fort Valley Section."
