The Fly That Attack. Peas.

The growing Of peas for canning pur
poses has greatly increased since the
invention OF the viner. a machine FOR
hulling peas. Now grown in many
places 10y hundreds OF acres. peas are
cut with a moving machine. raked up
In windows. loaded on wagons and run
through the yiuer like wheat through
a thrashing machine. one grower iu
Wisconsin last year had 400 acres
Before the advent OF the machine Il
would have been impossible to have
handled the product Of so large an
acreage for canning purposes. Individ
ual growers having from 100 to COO
acres throughout the southern and cen
trail states are not uncommon. The ap-
pearance OF the green hy. the insect
which completely ruined LOO acres FOR
one person two years ago. has been a
serious factor recently. Various meth
DDS have been suggested for its control.
The brush and pan method is quite
extensively used in some places FOR
catching and destroying the insects
Such an outfit was used on the farm OF
salisbury Bros. of Maryland two years
ago.
