The Ohio Agricultural Experi

ment station issued a press bulletin on the Hessian Fly and

Wheat Midge. The article was written by H. A. Gossard, ento

mologist. The article was furnished the Palladium Dy Major Lough. Hessian Fly and Wheat Midge.

in answer to inquiries sent out by

the Station, Hessian fly is reported for this season in 66 counties and wheat midge or "red weevil" in 59.

The combined damage of these two in

sects to the crop is estimated to be not

more than 10 or 15 per cent, for the

state. At the Station the average percenatge of stalks of all varieties infested with fly was 28.7 while the

average percentage of fallen straw was 5.3. The midge was found present in 10 per cent, of the kernels

or an varieties, ine average yieia

from the Station plots as compared with the average for the past light

years was but little affected; butsamples and estimates sent us from other localities indicate that in some instances the damage was severe, being great or ever! greater than 50 per cent in some fields.

The parasites of the fly was ob

served to issue in abundance during

the early part of August', but enough

"flaxseeds" remain uu parasitized to

furnish sufficient flies to cause ser

ious damage next year if other condi

tions prove exceptionally favorable

o fly developments. Conditions in

all respects, relating to fly, parasites and season may be considered about normal thus far; hence, while no special alarm need be felt, it should not be forgotten .that careless husbandry cr the entrance of new fac

tors' into the situation may .result in much loss. This possibility of excep-

ional damage renders advisable a

brief statement of the most approved

methods of guarding against the fly.

1. The preparation of the field,

getting it into such a condition ot

ilth and fertility that the plants will

get a good, strong start in the tall,

even if soAvn late, is a most important

item; and if the fly comes so late that

he crop must be sown before its ap-

pearance and ums De obliged to

breast the attack of the full brood,

this point is yet more important.

2. Unless the full brood of flies is very late in appearing, sowing should be deferred until after their disappearance. Perhaps no better plan can be devised to determine when the flies have appeared than for each farmer to sow a small "observation plot" of wheat during the last week in August in the northern border counties of the state, the first week in September in the central part and about the middle of September in the southern part. Each farmer should provide himself, as part of his equipment, with an ordinary magnifying glass such as may be obtained from his druggist or Harrison Cole, Columbus, Ohio. A good double lense with rubber case should be obtained for about 50 cents. The adult flies, small, dark, mosquito-like insects may be seen by the sharp observer in September or at least in early October, alighting upon the upper sides of the leaf blades where the eggs (the "flaxseeds" are not eggs) are deposited in the blade creases or furrow Sometimes the eggs are found on the inner surface of blades not over one inch high and too young to have turned upward. "With the magnifying glass it is not difficult to find these minute, reddish elongate-oval eggs and when they have once been found it will be but a few days until the brood of flies disappears. Wheat may be safely sown at once as soon as the eggs are found in any numbers as the fiies will have disappeared before it has time to germinate and get up through the ground. The flies should be looked for as early as the first week in Sept. in the northern tier of counties, during the first three1 Aveeks of September in the northern half of the state, and . during the last week in September and the first ten days of October in the southern half. Since

the flies mav come either earlier or I

later than these dates the utility of

the "observation plot" suggested is apparent. When the fiies come so late as the last week in September in the north

ern part of the state and not until in

October in the southern half, the far

mer must decide for himself from

previous experience on his particular

farm, whether it is best to take the

risk of injury from the -fly or from

weakness of plants due to late sow

ing. It is doubtless better in some instances to let the wheat stand the

attack than to have it sown extreme

ly late.

3. When the flies appear at about the usual time it is important for all

the farmers of a neighborhood to cooperate in late sowing so that no ear

ly sown field will furnish flies for the

entire neighborhood.

4. The larvae of the wheat midges to appear next year are now buried in

the earth not far from the surface

Plowing is therefore of service

against them as well as against Hes

sian fly. Sowing in the stubble is bad practice from the standpoint of both

insects. The screenings and chaff

from the threshing machine should be

destroyed as they contain thousands

of midge larve.

5. If decoy strips of wheat are

sown during the last of Auguust or

about the first of September, they will not only serve as "observation plots"

but will also entice many of the flies

to here deposit their eggs. As soon as the main crop is sown these decoy

strips should be plowed under to destroy the eggs and young larvae.

6. Varieties of wheat with thick,

strong stalks resist the fly attack bet

ter than small, weak-stalked kinds,

and bearded wheats are seemingly more immune from midge attack than smooth sorts. These considerations are not the only ones to decide the question of choice of variety, but are

worth noting.
