Their presence has not interfered with the gssowth of the crops. We 
have had one week of dry, warm weather. (June 23): One field of 
alfalfa is known to have been plowed under because of damage from 
.this aphid. It has now been killed by fungus and parasitic and 
predacious insects. Infestations occur in western and central 
counties .

pea fields. No damage has been reported as yet. 
R. H. Pettit (June 16): With regard to°the pea aphid, I vis 3 A . the 
Jackson fields on Wednesday and found the aphids present in n derate 
numbers. In a few instances they amount to a fraction of 1 per cent. 
I found little colonies of females with a family c? young at the tip 
of the plant. The Jackson area is partly in bloom, although the pods 
in some fields are well formed and the peas half -grown. They expect 
to cut in less than ten days for the most pari-. This morning I re- 
ceived a letter from the agriculturist for the F. R. Roach Canning Co.
