HESSlAN FLY IS
VERY INJURIOUS
Another Outbreak of Pest Is Ex-
pected, Perhaps Within Next
Few Months.
CAPABLE OF GREAT DAMAGE
Insect Feeds Chiefly on Wheat Plant
and in Smaller Measure on Barley
and Rye-Straws Break and
Fall Before the Harvest.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
knowledge in possession of experts
of the United States department of
agriculture leads to the belief that the
Hessian fly, the worst enemy of wheat,
has begun gradually to increase. The
percentage of infestation, according to
the fall count, showed q distinct in
crease over that Of last year. The
principal controlling parasites are ap-
parently absent or very scarce, par
ticularly in the middle West. An
other outbreak of the pest is expect
ed, perhaps within the next few
months. The accompanying illustra-
ton, which is being distributed by the
department as a poster, presents the
means of combating it.
Among insect, crop pests in the
United States, the Hessian fly stands
first in evil reputation and possibili-
ties. In bad years, hundreds Of thou
sands of acres of wheat may be totally
destroyed or the yield reduced as much
as Is per cent by this parasite.
Named for Mercenaries.
The Hessian fly is not a native of
America and nobody knows whence
it came or how. 1t was Noticed in
1910 on Long Island, N. Y, in the
vicinity of the place where Lord
Hcwe's army, largely Hessian mer-
cenaries, had camped three years be-
fore. The popular belief was that
the Hessians had brought the insect
over in the straw used by them as
bedding on board ships. Thus came
the name-and that guess is as good
as any as to how the fly got here.
All that can be authoritatively said is
that it arrived from some transatlan-
tic country some time after the middle
Of the eighteenth century.
The Hessian fly is One-tenth of an
inch long, Of an obscure dark color,
and appears much like a very small
mosquito. 1t lays a glossy red egg
one-fiftieth of an inch long, from which
is Matched a maggot slightly smaller
than the egg. This transforms into

Means of Combating Hessian Fly.

a pupa that appears like a f1axseed
and is so called. From the flaxseed
the adult fly energies. Here are four
forms so extremely unlike as to be
confusing to any except the expert
entomologist.
The fly usually deposits its eggs in
grooves on the underside Of the leaves
of wheat. The larva, shortly after
Matching, makes it's way down the
leaf and behind the sheath, continuing
in young wheat to the roots of the
plant. In older wheat it is able to go
only to the joint below. Larvae are
frequently so numerous as to be pack
ed one against another and overlap
ping. Two generations a year are
produced. Overwintering-is accom-
plished in the f1axseed stage.
Destructive to Wheat.
The Hessian fly feeds chiefly on the
wheat plant, and in a smaller measure
Or barley and rye. The oat plant is
immune. The effect is that if infesta-
ton begins while the wheat is young,
the plant grows without stem and be-
comes mere mass of Overgrown
leaves. If infestation comes after
jOinting has begun, the straws break
over and the wheat falls before har-
vest.
The distribution Of this pest in
cludes North Africa, western Asia, all
of continental Europe, the British
isles, New Zealand, and portions of
the United States and Canada In
t3e United States it's range extends
from the Canadian border as far south
as northern Georgia, and west to
western Kansas, and the middle of the
| Dakotas. 1t includes, also, a narrow
strip of the Pacific coast from Puget
| Sound to a point halfway down the
| California coast.

prior to the One-day grain Standardized
ton schools, directed by the federal
departments bureau of markets.
Necessity for practical education Of
American thrashermen was brought
out stril1ingly by results in Minnesota
last year recording the normal waste
Of grain in thrashing. Comprehensive
tests, which included the work Of the
more than $500 machines in the Co
pher state, showed that the average
avoidable loss in thrashing wheat was
400 bushels day, worth approximate
~ 1864; while the avoidable loss in
thrashing oats was 81 bushels daily,
worth then $5.46. Some of the sepa-
rators wasted as much as so bushels
Of wheat a day, worth, on the basis Of
the, October market, SOB. Twenty-Five
per cent of all the machines tested
in Minnesota showed an avoidable
loss, due to the machines being out of
repair Or improperly adjusted, Of Is
bushels day. Therefore, Minnesota
today is a stanch advocate Of teach
ing thrashermen the three R's-run-
