Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations of Injurious Insects and Common Farm Pests: During the Year 1899, With Methods of Prevention and Remedy During the past season reports of observation of a great variety of insect infestations were forwarded, many of these being of our ordinary farm and orchard pests, but some also which had been little previously noticed, and of others details of habits, or of preventive measures, were contributed, serviceable for completing previous notices. The only crop attack, however, which was mentioned as seriously prevalent was that of Turnip Flea-beetle. The caterpillars of Cabbage Butter ies (as in the previous season) did a good deal of damage locally; and for about six to eight weeks from May 2oth much application was sent for lea ets on Wireworm, sometimes amounting to five or six applications daily. Some infestations which are often seriously injurious were little reported - as Surface Caterpillars to root crops; and Mangold-leaf Fly maggots; orchard caterpillars (including amongst them those of the Winter Moth) were little noticed the caterpillars of the Gooseberry and Currant Moth and Saw y were also little mentioned. Amongst field crop attacks, some addition to previous in formation was noted in regard to different kinds of Pear-shaped Weevils at Clover seed-heads. Amongst Corn attacks, some of the well-known kinds - as those of the maggots of Oat Frit Fly, Wheat-bulb Fly, and Corn Saw y within Wheat stems - were just enough reported to show they were not absent, as also Hessian Fly in Wheat in one locality, and I would most particularly desire to draw the attention of agriculturists (in case of this infestation occurring again in the country) to the notes given at p. 39, on the importance of destroying infested screenings with the contained chrysalids, the ao-called Flax seeds. With regard to insect infestation in our, whether as a generally spread home trouble in mills, &c., or in imports, the communications were on a much larger and graver scale than in any preceding year, and I have especially drawn attention to details connected with the Mediterranean Mill Moth in a paper under that heading, pp. 76 - 92. Amongst Hop observations a good working observation was given of possibility of broadscale trapping of the Click Beetles (the parents of the Wireworms); also notes of Hop Flea Beetle on the leafage, helped to give some additions needed to connect this attack in summer with that of the maggots later on in the Hop cones.
