THE MORE IMPORTANT RECORDS FOR SEPTElfflER 1935 
In the Great Plains region from North Dakota to Kansas, grasshoppers 
arc numerous and weather conditions have "been favorable for continued egg 
laving. 
Further reports received during September confirmed the statement 
made in the last Survey Bulletin that the hessian fly is generally serious 
in the Eastern and East Central States. 
The corn ear worm is normal to subnormal over the Eastern States, 
with serious damage reported to tomatoes in the Great Basin and the -Pacific 
Northwest. 
The corn leaf aphid is exceedingly abundant in the East Central States. 
Sugarcane borer populations in the cane fields of Louisiana are said 
to be the lowest they have been in the past 25 years. 
Codling- moth damage in the Eastern States is comparatively low. High 
temperatures during the first part of the month, however, resulted in a 
decided increase in the amount of wormy fruit in the Pacific Northwest. 
The flat-headed apple tree borer is decidedly more troublesome than 
usual from Indiana westward to Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma. 
The oriental peach moth was reported as doing some damage in the 
southern part of New Hampshire. It also attracted attention throughout the 
Middle Atlantic and East Central States. The insect was found for the 
first time in the vicinity of St. Joseph, Mo. 
The vegetable weevil was. reported injuring turnips during the third 
week in September in Mississippi. This is unusually early for this insect 
to be troublesome. 
The Mexican bean beetle was reported during the month from Caledonia 
and Chittenden Counties, Vt. These are new northern records for the dis- 
tribution of this pest.
