Showing how thickly the lice infest the lower surface of the leaves. Slightly enlarged. (Photo by Z. P. Metcalf.) Distribution.—The cabbage louse seems to have a wide range. It is destructive certainly throughout all of eastern and middle North Caro- lina and probably throughout the western part of the State also, though we have had fewer complaints from that section. Bulletins from Ken- tucky and Michigan indicate that it is destructive in both of those States, and it is the most important enemy of turnips in Ontario, Canada. There is little doubt that it is present throughout the farm- ing regions of the United States and Canada, for the Yearbooks of the U. S. Department of Agriculture for 1907 and 1908 mention the following places where injurious outbreaks occurred: "Wyoming, New Mexico, California, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, and Canada.
