THE GRAPE LEAF- HOPPER, {hj i)hl orijha coiiirs Say.) 
A very small jumping insect about one-eighth of an inch 
long and light yellow in color beautifully marked with red 
and black. '\\ hen abundant, these hoppers will fly from the 
vines in large numbers when the latter are jarred, d'hey 
cause the leaves to turn pale and sometimes they will even 
turn brown and curl up. In early spring, before the grape 
leaves open, these insects sometimes occur in enormous 
numbers on strawberries and I have also seen them in con- 
siderable numbers on currant and gooseberry bushes and 
upon \drginia creeper. 
Remedies — S])ray forcibly with kerosene emulsion early 
in the morning, before sunrise. At this time the hoppers 
are dumpish and can be easily knocked off the leaves with 
the spray and wet down with it. 
When abundant on strawberries early in the spring it is 
very important to make a thorough treatment of the emul- 
sion as above, or, if the vines have not started too much, 
spread a light covering of straw over the patch and burn it.
