Extension official William Litwiller reports high corn leaf aphid populations in grain sorghum fields around East Knoxville and Franklin Town ships.

Spraying with one pound per acre thalathion may control them, and a check strip should remain to assess spraying effects. A separate note recalls that over 11 million immigrants entered the U.S. in the 14 years before World War I.
