MYSTERIOUS GRUB
ATTACKS WHEAT
SAMPLE SENT FROM LANsFoRp
70 PROFESSOR WALDRoN
PROVES PuZzLE-GRUB HAS
BEEN REPORTED FROM OTHER
SECTIONS or STATE.

Lansford Journal: Some time ago
A. II. West discovered that some of his
wheat crop was not coming along as
well asst might be SO he went through
his fields and noted that a number OF
the stalks had been broken off at the
hrst joint above the ground. He was
interested Immediately, and picked a
number of the fallen stalks and sent
them to G. B. Waldron, of the depart
ments OF horticulture and forestry at
Fargo.
The other day he received the fol-
lowing letter from Mr.. Waldron:
Dear Sir: Your letter OF July IS,
accompanies by samples of grain Is at
hand.
We are receiving a number Of these
samples every day from nearly all
parts Of the state. I was out through
the state last week studying in the
fields where the damage has been done
n with the aid OF a hand microscope
found in many of the joints a very
white grub working within the
stalk. In some instances the grub was
yellow in coolr perhaps because they
were more fully developed. The insect
is very much smaller than the Hessian
ny and works differently than any 9TH
er wheat insect hat has ever been
brought to our attention or. has ever
been described in the publications up
on that subject.
1t will be impossible to tell you what
species they belong to until we AVE
reared some in our breeding cages. I
have sent some to the department of
Washington, D. c., and to
other entymologists who are working
upon it.
Yours very truly, :
C. B., Waldron.
1t might be we'll to state that only a
small per cent OF the growing wheat
Is thus affected, and will not hurt the
yield to n great extent but it is well
know that something is working in
the grain and it is hoped that the bug
ologists will be able to determine some
means Of combating the pests.
