When the attack will be made depends upon the time which will ensue before General Ran dolph can land his batteries at the front and it is definitely settled the forward movement will not be made until the army is fully backed by the big guns,

ANOTHER PEST.
An Enemy Of the Sugar Beet Has
Been Discovered.

c. W. Woodworth, of the College Of
Agriculture, writes as follows concern
ing a sugar beet pest that has been dis
covered:
'In the gardens about Salinas there
has appeared this year an insect feed
ing upon the beets, which appears to be
capable of doing considerable injury. 1t
IS small maggot which burrows in be-
tween the membranes of the leaf, eating
out all the green substance, and, when
full grown, fall to the ground produc-
ing an oval, brown pupa, in which is
developed a fly about the size and gen.
eral appearance of the common house
fly.
This insect lays it's egg upon the
beet leaves, generally two. side by side
in a place, and the young worms when
they hatch from these eggs again en-
ter the leaves and begin their work.
The eggs are very conspicuous slender
white bodies, found on both the under
and upper side of the leaf, and the
shells remain attached to the leaf often
long after the worms hatch from them
and become adult and enter the ground.
The insect appears to have two or three
generations in a year, and seems to be
capable Of doing a great deal of injury,
especially upon the sugar beet, where
the effect of the destruction of the green
matter OF the leaf would materially re-
duce the sugar contents Of the beet.
The insect appeared to be so threat
ening in character that the university
has undertaken to determine the dis
tribution Of the insect and the extent
or the injury. 1t is not known whether
this insect is the European species,
which it resembles in it's method of en-
tering the beet leaf, or one of the nu-
merous Californian species of this
group now become prominent through
the extension of the growing Of the
sugar beet. 1t was thought that if the
insect We're a recent European impor-
tation its distribution might be linn
tied enough to make attempts at its
eradication feasible. The Investigation
so far made shows. however. that ii is
very widely distributed and feeds upon
all kinds of beets. This would indicate
that it has been in the State for years.
and so it is very likely that it will not
prove to be as serious a pest as at first
imagined
THE university would, however. be
glad to receive specimens of affected
leaves from every part of the State. In
order to make. .out fully its distribution
The affected leaves can be readily rec
ognized by the large, irregular pale
blotches made by the work of the mag
got, and by holding the leaf to the
light one can readily see the maegot
crawling about within the leaf. The
presence of eggs, as described above
will also enable one to recognize the
pest"
