THE FARMING WORLD.


Moth aDA lts Woek.
Tho Buffalo Tree Hopper (Csvssa-
SMbaiws) Is very common species
throughout most Of the United Ststes
and one which causes no little injury "a
spple, maple and other trees. The mode
Of puncturing. which II done for the
purpose OF depositiAg eggs. has been
carefully studied BY Prof. Popenoe at
the Kansas Agricultural College, and I
can not do better than quote from his
description and give the figure drawA
By Mr.. Marlatt showing tho puncturss
and the Insects.
The mode Of oviposition in the
Buffalo Tree Hopper hes been the sub
sect Of some difference Of opinion. and
descriptions extant with the exception
Of short one In the Canadian En-
tomologist for 1850, seem to be wide Of
the mark. Observations upon this in
sect made last summer In the depart
nent Of entomology Of this institution
show that the mode Of oviposition IL -

hibited. The irregularly circular or

various trees, especially upon the viii

were % numerous that tho growth Of
the trees WAS lesseued and their shape
much injured in consequences.
'"Ths slits In the bark made BY
