THE HESSIAN FLY IN THE

How TO Get Rid of the Pest.

AT this season OF the year the Hesslan
fly begins to make its presence known in
the fields of young wheat The eggs are
always laid ON the surface of the leaves,
and the magSots as soon as they hatch
make their way down the leaf to IA point
Just above the roots of the young plant
There the young maggots become en-
bedded in the tissue and begin to feed
upon the juices of the plant Very few
farmers are able to detect the presence
of the Hcssan fly i'm their fields until
much later In the season, after the plants
have become brown and dead. The oc-
currence of the pests may be very easily
detected says the Department of Agri-
culture, by any farmer, provided he un-
deIstands and observes the difference be-
tween infested and uninfcstcd plants
The leaves of an infested wheat plant are
always broader and have the appearance
of being shorter than those of an UNI
