THE MEDITERRANEAN FLOUR MOTH, EPHESTIA 

 KUEHNIELLA, Zeller, STILL IN CANADA. 



The determined and energetic fight carried on by the miller, the 

 entomologist, and the Local Government in 1889, to stamp out this 

 destructive mill pest in Ontario, is too fresh in the memory of those who 

 witnessed that outbreak to warrant a repetition of the particulars. Suffice 

 it to say that the flour moth is still very abundant in certain Canadian mills. 

 I have received it recently in flour sent me direct from a milling firm in 

 Valleyfield, Quebec, with an urgent appeal for help. The mill has been 

 obliged to shut down several times during the present year to clean out 

 the enormous accumulations of matted flour and webs in the spouts and 

 elevator legs. The mill is a new one and has been running a very short 

 time. It is said the pest came from a neighboring firm. My experience 

 with this moth in California and other places convinces me that it is the 

 worst pest millers have to combat, and this note should be a signal 

 warning to all those interested in the milling business. I have also recently 

 discovered the same pest in Southwestern New York State, where it has 

 done considerable mischief this year, and is stiil spreading. It has 

 occasioned much loss on the Pacific Coast also the present season. If 

 something is not done to arrest and destroy this advancing enemy in the 

 United States and Canada, I predict very serious results to the milling 

 industries of both countries. W. G. Johnson.
