Purdue University, has been making a tour of observation through the State, posting up on the aphis or plant-louse, which has been working extensively on the wheat and oats crops. He arrived in this city Thursday, and in company with J. S. Conlogue, of the Standard, visited several fields near town, where the insect had been reported at work. In the fields of wheat and oats he found the aphis practically ‘extinci, due to the providential visitaiion' of a parasite which has a peculiar liking for its body as an egg depository. . IThe parasite is infinite in number and sweeps over the -growing grain where the aphides are secreted, alighting on them one at a time, piercing their bodies, depositing the egg and_ leaving the pest to die. In an ineredible sh’c%ff time the shell of the aphisis the house of the parasite. The mission of this little creature seems to be confined to aphis destroying. But for them there can be no doubt about great damage having been done the wheat and oats. As it is, Prof. Webster thinks that no positive knowledge of the damage done can be ascertaied until the crops are threshed. He believes, however, that the sotitheastern portion of the state has suffered the most. ~ The Professor is an eminent entomologist, and will be remembered as having lectured before the Farmers’ Institute in this city ahout a year ago. He ilnvites farmers and all others to write him whenever any new insect pest is discovered, and if necessary he will make a personal examination of it and its work. = Address him in care of Purdue University, LaFayette, Ind. —Kendallyille Standard.
