While the wheat fields are looking

that large yield will result. Fields
in this part of Kansas are stocked
with the rupae of the Hessian fly and
the same pest exists over much of the
state and extends in Oklahoma and
Texas. These pupae will hatch into
the perfect fly soon, and if conditions
for their development continue favor
able the wheat crop will be seriously
damaged during May by the larvae
of the fly. The green plant louse has
