THE GREEN MIDGE.
Something About the Great Wheat De-
stroyer.


stroyer.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 22.-The
complaints about the destruction Of
wheat by a strange insect are increas-
ing. They come chiefly from the Gen.
tral and eastern parts of the State, but
the ravages of the little bug have al
ready spread to Northern Indiana, and
the Secretary of the State Board of Ag-
riculture regards the reports as
alarming. The insect is what
is known among agriculturists
as the ''green midge," another
species of which is the ''red midge."
The latter last appeared in this region
about fifteen years ago and did great
damage to the growing wheat. The
''green midge," the little destroyer
which is now doing such alarming work,
has not been seen by farmers since 1865,
when it almost entirely destroyed the
wheat crop of Indiana and the neighbor-
ing States. Millions of them appear in
field, settling upon the stalk, from
which they draw the sap, causing the
grain to shrivel before it is matured.
