THE ASPARAGUS MINER. 5 



If this work were carefull}' done over a considerable area, it would 

 leave little necessitj- for other methods, since it would do away with 

 these insects in the vicinity and leave few to be dealt with another 

 season; unless, indeed, tliis insect has an alternate food plant. The 

 cooperation of neighboring- asparagus growers and thoroughness are 

 essential for success. 



This method will operate also against the rust which is now present 

 in maiiv tields infested bv the miner.
