 cure.] — U Agriculture Pratico, Genova, vii, no. 11, November 1914, 

 pp. 4-6. 



In the Province of Ravenna, a mixture of grease and petroleum is 

 epiead on paper and placed round the base of the trunk of peach trees 

 in order to keep away the ants which accompany aphids. A rag 

 placed between the bark and the paper effectually prevents the mixture 

 from reaching the former and causing injury.

Smulyan (M. T.). The Marguerite Fly {Phytomyza chrysanthemi, 

 KoyiaTz).~~Massachusets Agric. Expt. Sta., Amherst, Bull. no. 157, 

 November 1914, 52 pp. 3 plates. 



The ravages of Phytomyza chrysanthemi, Kowarz, (the Marguerite 

 Fly or Chrysanthemum Leaf-Miner), have, in many instances, stopped 

 the growing for commercial purposes of marguerites and other Com- 

 positae in Massachusetts. This insect, also called chrs^santhemum 

 fly, marguerite leaf-miner and marguerite daisy fly, was first detected 

 in the United States in 1886. It has also been reported from Penn- 

 sylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Montana and Wisconsin.
