is 1T SAFE TO SOW
WHEAT THIS FALl7
.

Ihe entomoloYlcal department o.
the Colorado Agricultural college, at
Fort Collins, is in receipt of numerous
inquiries from farmers who have
had the green bug in their grain the
past summer wanting to know II It
would be safe to put in wheat this
fall.
brief statement as to the history
Of this insect may do much towards
answering this question. The green
bug, which attacks the various grains
and grasses. was discovered in Italy.
In 1852, and appeared in the United
States in 1882. The first outbreak oi
serious nature in this country oc
CURED in 1891, when this little green
louse became quite destructive to
grain crops in portions OF Texas, Ok
lahoma, Kansas and Nebraska II
did not again appear in destructive
numbers until the year 1900, when 1t
became destructive to the grain crops
over considerable portion of the
area where it had been destructive ten
years before.
The next appearance of this louise
n sufficient numbers to attract gen.
eral attention was in the spring o.
the present year, when it again ap-
peared in the same localities, and in
limited sections was abundant enough
to destroy the crops. The insect was
more generally destructive through
the grain-growing sections of Colorado
this year than ever before.
The fact that the insect has been
known in this country for the past
twenty-five years and that during that
time it has only been seriously de
structive in three years-and these
years separated from each other by
period of not less than seven years
makes 1t seem very likely that the
wheat fields of Colorado will be free
from serious attacks of this insect
next year and probably for several
years to come.
This is true with great many OF
our worst insect pests. They will ap-
pear In large numbers for one season
and then suddenly disappear for a
period of years. The reason for the
| disappearance is the increase in num-
bers of the insect enemies. In the
| case of the green bug, these enemies
| are chiefly lady beetles, lace-winged
| dies, and what are known to the en-
tomologist as Surplus flies. In addi-
tion to these, very small black fly.
which is true parasite and destroys
the lice by burrowing into their bodies
l was also abundant over nearly, If no.
| quite all. the infested region. and did
| great service in the destruction of the
lice.
This insect attacks very freely
wheat, oats, barley, rye, and almost
| any of the grasses. 1t is sometimes
found upon corn, but seems never to
have been destructive to this cult.
| vated plant. Early sown fall wheat
Is usually worse attacked than thai;
which is sown late, and is also worse
| attacked. as a rule. than the spring
| grain. though this is not always the
| case.
II the lice appear in great numbers
upon the grain early in the season, it
might be best to plow it under and
put in some other crop, net a grain
upon which the lice would not feed
1t is hardly possible to treat the lice
| in the field so as to do very much
| good. Rolling has been suggested as
a partial remedy when the grain is
l small. C. p. GILLETTE
