HABITS OF HESSIAN FLY - f
What Prof. Bruner , Etomologlst , Gays
of the Insect.
LT ? COTK-Lawronco Bruner , in a
bulletin just Issued from the state university .
versity agricultural experIment ala- '
ala4'
tlon , has given n. compl.eto summary
of the hublts of the Hessian fly and
has outlined ( several ] remedies for its
ext Inct ton. lIe says In the bulletin :
"Altllough Ow hessian fly has been
known ] for a number of years to oc-
cur , within the state , It has done corn- .
parntlveJ little damage In the past. ' "
During recent years , however , It has
shown more of a tendency toward
multiplying In dangerous numhers.
Enpeclall , has thIs been true in
Southeastern Nebraska , where considerable -
slderablo Injury has already resulted.
In order that the wheat growers or \
this and ndjollling sections / may not
e taken entirely unawares should the
Insect spread and continue to increase -
crease , the experiment station authorities -
thorities have thought best to dIs-
trlhuto lids brier circular treating on
the sUhject. 1
1'hls Insect Is a diminutive , dark
colored fly , much smaller than a Jlt-
lIe mosquito , to which latter It bears
a general resemhlance. Its habit at
laying eggs on young plants of wheat ,
barley and rye renders it a dangerous
farm lleat. Especially Is this true at
It In regions where winter grains are
o grown , It may also become a pest at
limos even where spring wheat alone -
Is raised , hul there Is little danger
that this last will occur.
'rho fly appears chiefly during
spring and fall , but 11 few ; of the mature .
tUl'e insects may bo seen throughout
the smnmm' as well. Hero in Nebraska .
hra81m tine spring brood may bo .
found late in April , during May and )11 ;
the first part of June. The autumn
flies [ issue late in August , throughout
September and the first part of Oc-
toher-appearlng later In spring and
earlier In fall northward. The eggs
are deposited beth In sprIng and fall
on the upper side of the leaves and
time young , as soon as hatched , make
their way down the plant to near the
ground , where they lodge beneath the
sheaf of leayos "
As remedied Prof. BrunoI' has out-
lined the following :
"llnrn the stnbhlo when possible.
'I'hls Is particularly desirable when
for any purpose shallow plowing Is
yoldable. If the stubble Is left
long It will burn more easily. Some
farmers are willing to go to the trou-
ble of spreading straw from threshing _
over the stubble , thus Insuring the , _
burning and at the same time getting
rid or some 'fiaxseeds' which may .
have l lodged c 'n ' the surface or the
straw pile at the time of thresblng
.
