may be found just above the crown or just
above one of the joints. The main fall
brood appears from the last of August to
the middle of October, the maximum emery
ence probably occurring during the last of
September. The life cycle is repeated, and
after the first of November the faxseed stage
is found just above the crown between the
leaf and sheath and the stalk. The winter
is passed in this stage, and the main spring
brood energies from these faxseeds
The number of broods is also variable
ranging from two to five. In 1908 five
broods were determined in the fe1d--the
main spring, supplementary spring, mid
summer, main fall, and supplementary fall.
In 1914 four broods were determined
main spring, supplementary spring, main
fall, and supplementary fall. This spring
there was heavy main spring brood, and
the indications very favorable for
serious supplementary spring brood, which
will continue to injure the wheat up to
harvest time.

aessan Fly Pupe5ia Flax Seeds in position between the
volunteer wheat buried under at least three
inches of soil. By doing this practically all
of the flies will be buried, and it will be
impossible for them to reach the surface.
Immediately after blowing, the ground
should be refirned and worked into good
seed bed. 1t should also be kept mellow
and free from all weeds and volunteer wheat
In average years, with proper preparation
at least as early as the date on which wheat
should be to make a maximum Weld
If no fly were present
For the best results in the control of the
Hessian fly all farmers should cooperate and
follow the methods of planting as recon-
mended, for the Hessian fly like most of
the farn-crop insects, is most successfully
controlled when concerted fight is made
against it.
The Hessian fly in the course of it's de-
ve1opment passes through four different
stages adult, egg, maggot, and faxseed.
These stages differ SO greatly that one would
not suspect any relationship between them.
The adult fly is small, 1ong-legged, dark
colored insect, resembling mosquito. The
tiny reddish eggs are usually deposited in
the grooves on the upper surface of the
leaves. They so small and inconspicu-
to be barely visible to the naked eye
and resemble wheat rust in its early stages.
The maggots are whit1sh in color and are
found between the leaf sheath and the stalk,
either at the crown or at of the joints.
The faXSeed, or resting stage, IS the one
with which many farmers are most ac-
quainted. 1t is the reddish-brown stage,
found, in the late fall or after harvest just
above the crown at the nodes of the plant
In size, shape and color it has considerable
resemblance to a faxSeed.
The life history of the Hessian fly is sub
iect to great variation during the year. but

Disk the stubble Immediately after har-

and makes the blowing easier, but also
starts the growth of the volunteer wheat

disking pulls out the stubble and exposes
the haxseed to unusual climatic conditions
which are fatal to many of them. On the
average seed bed the maximum yield of
wheat will be obtained in average season
by seeding little earlier than the hy-free
date The better the seed bed is prepared
the safer it is to wait until the 1y-free date
to sow. 1t should be understood that if the
wheat is seeded earlier there is a greater
risk of the crop being injured by the f1y, and

of at least six inches and all stubble and
