The Cranberry and Blueberry- Research Laboratory of the N. J. Agricultural Experiment Station has reported finding sharp-nosed leafhoppers I'esponsible for spread- ing blueberry stunt disease. This coveted, goal was reached after a concentrated search through a period of seven years. William E. Tomlinson, Jr., Phil- ip E. Marucei, and Charles A. Doehlejt presented the'r findings at the meetings of the Eastern Branch cf the American Associa- tion of Economic Entomologists, held at Baltimore, Md., November 21st and 22nd. The search for the disease vec- tor started in 1943 by the late C. S. Beckwith and C. A. Doehlert, and. the first planned insert trans- mission was achieved in the sum- mer of 1944. Tomlinson joined the battle in and in the next year accomplished the first trans- mission with identified species. To the continuing efforts of these two men, Marucci added his more than full-time labors for two years and produced the final convincting proof. He also established, the facts ff the life cycle of the two leafhoppers incriminated, which is no?essarv infrrniation for the de- velopment of control methods. Insects by Name The two insects are known as sharp-nosed leafhoppers, Scaphy- topius magdalensis (Prov.) and Scaphytopius verecundus (Van D.) They are so much alike that at.
