The first larvae appear during- the month of May, thoug-h eg-g* deposition lasts for some time and larvae of this first brood may be appearing- for some weeks. Some-of them mature, producing- the adults by early in July, and these deposit eg-g-s which produce a second brood of larvae, and it is possible that the earliest maturing- of these mig-ht produce a third brood, but the bulk of the insects are doubtless included within two broods. Remedial measures for this pest are not readily applied and the only reccommendation that seems feasible at present is to use the flat "hopper-dozer," or "Tar Pan," which has been proven at the Iowa Experiment Station to be so effec- tive in killing- the leaf-hoppers in pastures and meadows. It will also serve to diminish their numbers g-reatly to burn over the old g-rass, along- fences and other places where the insects hibernate, during- late fall or early ; The "Tar Pan" could be best used in summer, directly after the cutting- of the first crop of clover.
