destroys the growing wheat in certain Sec

about 4O.o0o.000 bushels annually, or about
or per cent of the total crop. The ento-
mological bureau has studied it long and
closely, and the recommendations made 10
wheat growers have undoubtedly kept the

act on their advice. the fly got beyond con-

and destroyed fully 50 per cent of the crop
in the infested region, the resultant loss
being in the neighborhood of $780, 600 or
