1t is estimated that the state Of
Maryland lost 100000 during the
past season through the ravages of
the pea-louse, which. Prof. w. G.
johnson OF the Maryland Agricultural
college says is an insect new to sci
ence. It belongs to the well-known
group Of the aphides, or plant-lice,
and on account Of some change in
conditions has become suddenly abun-
dant, appearing for the first time on
the cultivated pea. 1t is of green
color. and only an eighth OF an inch
long. 1t sucks the Juices from the leaf
and stem, and the plant dies. Not
only In Maryland have growers of
peas suffered. but in Now Jersey, Del
aware. New York. Virginia. North
Carolina and Connecticut also. For
tunately the pea-louse has many in
sect enemies. which played havoc with
It before the close of the season.
