the whole Rio Grande Valley. Late cabbage is apparently not 
"badly affected. 
CABBAGE MAGGOT ( Hylemyia brassicae Bouche) 
Connecticut R. B. Friend (May 23): At Mt . Camel , Harden, the oviposi- 
tion was about a week later than normal and the infestation 
appears light. 
New York N. Y. State Coll. Agr. , Weekly News Letter (May): Cabbage

CABBAGE APHID ( Brevicoryne brassicae L. ) 
Virginia H. G. '.Talker (May 26): The cabbage aphid has been abundant 
enough to cause some damage to the seed kale at Norfolk. 
North Carolina 7. A. Thomas (May 17): This insect seems to be on the in- 
crease, developing a rather heavy infestation on many of the 
small home garden plots of cabbage and collards. Parasitism 
is developing somewhat rapidly. 
Indiana J. J. Davis ('fey 26): The cabbage aphid was abundant and 
destructive to c*bbage at Liberty, May 21, the plants having 
been received from the South. Indiana growers have been 
having much trouble with in sect- infested cabbage and tomato 
plants received from Southern sections for several years. A 
system of careful insecticide treatment and inspection is es- 
sential if Southern growers anticipate a continued northern 
market for their plants. 
Ohio T. H. Parks (May 26): These aphids are becoming abundant 
on young cabbage ulants in Franklin. County. 
Missouri L. Haseman (May 21): The cabbage aphid was serious on cab-

F. D. Butcher (May 10-17): Very generally -oresent on cru- 
ciferous plants in St. Louis, Perry, Carter, Butler, and 
Ripley Counties. Hymencoterous -oarasites in a few gardens had 
materially reduced the infestations. Ladybird beetles were 
fairly common.

structive to hot-bed cabbage at Connersville (May 23) and Ke-
