Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wheat Strawworm, (Isosoma Grande Riley) The wheat strawworm, by reason of its relation to both the climate and the farm methods of the most productive portion of the Pacific Northwest, is capable of great injury to wheat growers. Though its greatest inroads are made upon spring wheat, it is winter and volunteer wheat which render those inroads possible. Its work is of such nature that it passes unobserved, unless an attack of unusual severity causes the farmer to scrutinize his fields more closely than he is accustomed to do. The constant small losses occasioned by this insect and the possible destruction of the crop over considerable areas may be prevented by such measures as every good farmer employs to maintain the fertility of his soil, secure a good seed bed, retain moisture, and eradicate weeds.
