Bugs That Ravage
Farms Of Minnesota

"A bulletin of exceeding Importance
to the farmers, fruit growers and stock
growers of the state has just been is
sued by the agricultural experiment
Station, division of entomology. The
subject of the bulletin is insects nota-
bly, injurious in 1902" AS the ravages
of these pests cost the agricultural
element Of our population millions of
dollars annually, it can readily be seen
that the subject is worthy of the deep
est study.
The Worst of All of Them.
BY reason of his multiplicity and de-
Btructiveness the Hessian fly has easily
earned the bad eminence Of being first
on the list. The fly was alarmingly
abundant over the southern, south
western and the entire western part Of
Minnesota. 1t destroyed about 100000
coo bushels of wheat in 1902.
AS preventive measures against the
appearance of the Hessian fly, the bull
letin recommends:
1. Burn the stubble when possible.
This is particularly desirable when, from
any reason, shallow blowing is unavoid-
able. If the stubble is left long it will
burn easier. Some farmers are willing
to go to the trouble of spreading straw
from threshing over the stubble, thus in
surfing the burning and at the same time
getting rid Of some flax seeds which
may have lodged on the surface of the
straw pile at the time of threshing
2. Fall blowing Of the stubble In such
way that the straw is completely turned
under.
8. All screenings and litter about the
threshing machine should be cleaned up
and either fed Immediately or burned,
leaving no litter from the threshing on

your corn in such a way that the steep
er side is towards the corn; drag a
small log back and forth in this fur
row until it becomes very dusty; it
must be kept dusty. With a post
augur bore holes ten or twelve inches
deep or even less along the bottom
OF this burroW at intervals of about
rod. If the furroW is well made
the bugs cannot cross 1t and finally
collect In the post holes, where they
may be killed by kerosene or hot wa
ter. In wet weather a dust furrow
is impossible. At such times the bugs
may be stopped by means of a tar
line.
Tar can be purchased of the gas
companies for $3.50 per barrel barrel
included; for 1915 without container.
Pour tar to the width of two or three
inches next your cOrnfield or upon the
side of the field attacked by the bugs
While this tar line remains sticks bugs
will not cross 1t. The first tar applied
will sink into the ground probably and
the line will have to be renewed oc-
casionally; that is, it will have to be
kept sticky Bore post holes at the
side of the tar line away from the
corn and the bugs travelling along the
line to find means of crossing will
fall into these holes, where they may
be killed. Even if the bugs have reach
ed the outer rows of corn they may
be stopped by the dust furroW or tar
line between these outer rows and the
reanining corn. The bugs on the out
er rows may be killed with kerosene
emulsion, one part emulsion to ten
parts of water. Pure kerosene may also
be used If one does not care to save
the corn. 1t is certainly desirable to
kill these bugs on the outer rows, thus

has may be removed by sending the
objects suspected to be eggs to the
entomologist at the experiment station.
Seventeen-year locusts never come to
Minnesota.
Other Pests.
The foregoing are the most notorious
Of the insects which make the life Of
the farmer full of racking foreboding
by day and weird dreams by night,
but there are others equally as de-.
structive in their way, but which for
tunately do not assume the multiple =
ity of the others. The horn fly is one,
resembling the horse fly, but smallers
which attacks cattle; the i'll known
stable fly, the blow fly, the green. bots
tie fly and the flesh fly.
A new strawberry pest has recently
taken up his residence in our midst
bringing with him the formidable
name of harpalus pennsylvanicus, with
the accent on the last syllable. Among
his intimate friends he is known as a
| beetle and was until last year held in
| high esteem by entomologists by rea-e
son of his habit of eating nexious
larvae, but it seems the expansion idea
has lodged in his active little brain ana
for the first time in Minnesota he last
! year took to eating strawberries. Tn.
less his ways are mended it is feared
that he will soon be demanding sugar,
and cream with his berries.
There are various way of combating
this pest in the strawberry patch. They
work entirely at night and during the
| season of their abundance it is barely
| possible that the lantern trap may be
effective, though l have not had any
| experience with the same. 1t is worth
| trying. The lantern trap consists, of a
pan two-thirds full of water upon
which water a generous layer of kero-
| sene has been poured. This pan is put
! upon post in the strawberry patch
| about two feet above the ground, say
! and above the pan is suspended a lar.
| tern; or the lantern rests upon brick
! placed in the pan. The beetles at
| tracted by the light fall into the kero-
sene and are killed. Several. such traps
put about the strawberry patch might
| materially reduce the number of
| beetles. Bran mixed with water.

burning the straw pile. The flies emery
ing from flax seeds in the center of the
pile will never reach the surface.
4. Since the fly lays its eggs as a rule
near the locality where it energies from
wheat on the same ground two years in
succession where rotation is possible. Va
rieties Of wheat that produce a stout stalk
are the least affected by this pest.
Chinch Bug Is Second.
In point of destructiveness, the ia
miliar chinch bug comes next, and
played its destructive part in many
counties. A line starting at Mora and
running southwest to Benson and then
south to the Iowa boundary would
seem to mark the northern and west
ern limits affected by the chinch bug

does more damage than any other Of it's
kind, in some years destroying as high
as one hundred million dollars worth
Of the farmers products.
Discussing the ways and means of
abating the pest, the bulletin says:
I'VE do not know of any practicable
means of killing the chinch bugs in
the grain at present. In this connec-
ton we will say that the sending out
of diseased chinch bugs has been aban-
doned, it having been found that the
results were, not sufficiently practical
The insects, however, may be trapped
and killed without much labor after
they leave the grain and start to at
tack the corn. Plow furrow around

A Cloud of Grasshoppers.
Of the tribe of grasshoppers, the
number is legion, but fortunately the
state has been comparatively free
from visitations of this plague for
some years past. Perham, Otter Tail
but investigation by the entomologist
of the station proved 1t to be a local
case. Prompt blowing of the land,
thus burying the infantile hoppers,
averted what did threaten to be a
serious visitation. The most seri
Gus condition prevailed in the Hill riv-
er district, near Lindsay p. o. There
was a good start for hopper plague
in that vicinity, but heroic measures
by the entomologist and the farmers
of the vicinity headed 1t off.
Where the grasshopper abounds there
is found his enemy in myriad form
and number Wet weather is the en-
none can escape 1t. But there are tho
| red mite. beetles. robber flies, flesh
flies and bee flies, as well as the hair
| snake, which make a speciality of de-
vouring the unprotected hopper. Also
poultry, prairie chickens, hawks, black
birds, crows, meadow-larks, orioles.
gulls, terms, frogs, snakes and skunks
terrorize him by day and night.
AS protective and remedial measures

the same in the spring before May 10

| from issuing from the egg cases. Co
| operation in this, as well as in the
! treatment of all insect pests, is abso.
| lutely essential. If one farmer plows
| and his neighbor does not, the work
| of the first is thrown away.
| Young hoppers, while very small, be-
| fore they are large enough to avoid the
plow, may be plowed under. 1t is ao-
visable in this case to begin at the
/ edge of the field and pillow towards the
center.
When infested pastures cannot be
sacrificed to the plow the hopper
dozer can be well used. Vegetable
gardens lying within an affected area
may, If the locusts are not very numer-
Gus, be saved by spraying something
distasteful to the insects, like WELL

| ter or kerosene emulsion, upon plants

$40 -on even three times those sums
spent In this way, if iitttwill save 5000
or $500 or. $4eo on the strawberry crop
is money well expended. Another sug-
gestlon IS, to place boards throughout
the strawberry field and look under
them every morning, catching, and kill
ing the beetles found there. If there is
anything like rag weed growing about
the strawberry patch it should be de-
stroyed.
