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 a 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 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.
Ndmco TOT MerCcnafleS.
The Hesslan fly is not native Of
America and nobody knows whence
it came or how. It was noticed in
1779 on Long Island, N. Y, in the
vicinity of the place where Lord
Howe'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 q very small
mosquito. 1t lays a glossy red egg
one-flftieth of an inch long, from which
is hatched a maggot slightly smaller
than the egg. This transforms into

pupa that appears like flaxseed
and is so called. From the flaXseed
the adult fly emerges. Here are four
ferns 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. Overwhelming is accom-
plished in the flaxseed stage.
Destructive to Wheat
The Hcssian fly feeds chiefly on the
wheat plant, and in smaller measure
on barley and rye. The oat plant is
immune. The effect is that if infesta-
tion begins while the wheat is young,
the plant grows without stem and be-
comes a 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
the United States its 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.
