In 1919 Dociostaurus maroccanus was again abundant in the province 

 of Foggia and as in the previous year the measures used were spraying 

 with sodium arsenite (0'75-2 per cent.) and spreading bran that had 

 absorbed nearly its own weight of sodium arsenite solution 4-6 per 

 cent. The bran was treated in an apparatus consisting of a tray 

 with a perforated bottom through which the bran falls into a truck, 

 owing to the to-and-fro motion of the tray on rails with a milled surface. 

 During its fall it is sprayed with the poison from a series of fine jets. 

 About 70 tons of bran were used. An experiment was made with 

 zinc phosphide dusted on the grass by means of insecticide bellows as 

 used in vineyards, and this method appears to be promising, though 

 the trial was not quite successful owing to the coarseness of the powder 

 and the late date of application, the grass being withered and no dew
