T. H. Parks (May 24): The pea aphis has been very serious 
on some of the older stands of alfalfa and on peas at Chillicothe. 
A visit to the area May 14 showed that two snail fields of 
alfalfa had been so badly injured that they will be plowed under. 
The aphid s migrated from the alfalfa to the adjoining peas and 
were causing great injury on them. 
J. E. Dudley, jr. (May 4): There was an average hatch of 
aphid eggs in the hibernation experiment, but a small percentage 
of the aphids had sufficient vitality to live after hatching. 
There is good evidence in Dane County that this condition also 
occurred in the field. Stem-mother nymphs were very scarce up 
to the middle of April. It is believed the available stock 
present in the field is much below normal. 
C. Lyle' and assistants (May): Pea aphids attracted a great 
deal of attention in various parts of - the State during the 
latter half of May, being particularly numerous on English peas. 
(Abstract, J.A.H. ) 
P. Knowlton (May 11): Pea aphids are moderately abundant 
in alfalfa at Hopper. 
L. P. Rockwood (May 1): Pea aphids are from one tenth to 
one twentieth as numerous on field pea.s, vetch, and Austrian 
this.tle as they were at this time last year. During late 
March about 15 per cent were parasitized by Aphidius sp. in 
one field. The fungus Eutomophthora aphidis killed about 10 
per cent during late April in the same field. Coccinellid 
adults are but 5ne fifth to one tenth as numerous as at this 
time last year, the greater part of the decrease being in 
Hippo dam i a spp. rather than in Coccinella sp.

CLOVER- LEAE WEEVIL ( Hypera punctata Fab. ) 
J. J. Davis (May 26): The clover leaf weevil was reported 
abundant at Kokomo, May 9, but all specimens received were 
attacked by the fungus which -normally holds them in check.

C. P. Stiles (May 24); The clover leaf weevil is doing 
considerable damage to alfalfa fields in Payne County and has 
also been reported from Pottawatomie County. It lias been very 
dry through this section of the State since early spring and 
this insect does not seem to be seriously affected by the fungus 
disease which keeps them in check. 
CLOVH ROOT CURCULIO ( Sitona hispidula Fab. ) 
.W. A. Price (April 23): The clover root curculio has ruined 
several alfalfa fields in the vicinity of Frankfort and 
Independence.
