It is concluded that most of the damage can be prevented If jK-oper control 

 measures are Introduced into the regular farm practice. These control meas- 

 ures consist of the destruction of the eggs by plowing and disking, and of the 

 destruction of the young and adults by the use of poultry and hogs, the hop- 

 perdozer, the poisoned bran mash, or by burning where there is sufficient vege- 

 tation to carry fire.
