Oats were in places light, and in some localities suffered from the attacks of theGrain Aphis, Wire worms, and Cutworms. The injury by the first of these was light. Asis usually the case, the parasites which invariably accompany this plant-louse,increased in enormous numbers and the plague stopped. The parasite which did bestservice was Aphidius granariaphis, Cook. Devastating Dart Moth. A rather bad attack of the Glassy Cutworm (Hadenadevastatrix, Brace), Fig. 29, the caterpillar of the Devastating. Dart Moth, occurred on the farm of Messrs. J. Yuill & Sons, v4rS8HBfflfe at Carleton When insects attack a crop of grain it is always difficultto apply any remedy to the standing plants and the onlyresource is the practising of agricultural methods founded onthe known life-history of the pest. Most insects feed uponclosely allied plants; the wisdom, therefore, is apparent ofFl&- 39- following an infested crop belonging to the grass family with another consisting of plants belonging to a different botanical family.
