quassia solution or soft soap, as well as with tobacco extract, is 

 advised ; control measures should be begun immediately these pests 

 are noticed and before the plants become large. Gryllotalpa destroys 

 the seeds and young plants and gnaws the roots ; the placing of maize 

 grains poisoned with arsenic in the same holes as the cantaloupe-seeds 

 is considered the best remedy.

 free from the pest. Pyrausta yiuhilalis {Botys silacealis) appears 

 yearly in increasing numbers, owing to the more extensive cultivation

 seriously injured steppe grasses, such as Festuca ovina sulcata, Hackl., 

 and, to a less degree, Stipa capillata, L., while other species of Stipa 

 and other steppe grasses and plants were not injured. The damage
