The work has been going on for some
years and much progress has already
been made. The cotton worm which
formerly levied an annual tax Of $780,
100000 on the cotton crop, is now con-
trolled by sprays; it has been proven
that the ravages of the Russian fly
which sometimes have reduced the
wheat acreage in Ohio 40 per cent and
in Indiana 60 per cent besides greatly
impairing the yield of the remaining
acreage, can be considerably checked
by planting wheat at seasons when the
fly is not so rapacious; the coddling
moth is controlled by arsenical sprays
