The arsenites can be employed, of course, for the protection of crops that admit of being sprayed. Wheat-fields badly infested in lall are not necessarily ruined or e\en much injured, because wheat will stand cutting down almost to the ground during the latter part of the season, and will yet come up vigorous and in good condition the spring following. The moth that produces this caterpillar is a modest, gray creature, expanding hardly more than an inch, and the hind wings are pure white and semi-trans- parent. It is a variable species, and ranges from an almost uni- form gray to forms in which there is a considerable admixture of bluish white, the ordinary lines and spots of the owlet-moths being also well marked.
