It is stated that the 350 varieties of plants cultivated in France 

 produce £360,000,000 sterling annually. They are attacked by about 

 6,000 species of insects and 2,000 cryptogamic diseases, which cause 

 a loss of £120,000,000.

 occasionally injurious to the vine.] — U Agricoltore Agrigentino, 

 Girgenti, vi, nos 8-9, August-September 1914, pp. 170-171. 



Labidostomis {Clytra) taxicornis is only an occasional pest of the vine. 

 The adult's favourite food-plant is Salix purpurea, of which it often 

 skeletonizes the leaves. Adoxus obscurus var. vitis is the only 

 Chrysomelid injurious to the vine. Should control be necessary, the 

 insects should be shaken into sheets early in the morning.

The position of fruit culture in the government of Astrachan in

 of these is Cydia pomonella, which does an enormous amount of damage 

 in the government, one-third and more of the crop being lost in
