Six gallous used per aere on loamy soil with success, i.e. 

 8 drams injected under each stool of cane, as near as ijossihie. 

 A man treats one to one and a-half acres per day. Late-planted 

 cane most successfully withstands grub-attack.

Notes on life-history, and' the weight of beetles, 250^1 lb., 



r)60,000=l ton. Beetles in the Mackay district paid for at 6d. 



to 9d. per lb. The money is derived from a tax of Id. per ton 



of cane sent to the mills, subsidised by the Government at the 



rate of 10s. in tiie £. In 1910, £1,440 148. 6d'. was expended for

During the 1910-11 season over £3,000 was spent in the 

 eradication of grubs in the Cairns district. They had destroyed 

 22 tons of beetles and 9 tons of grubs. Boys made £1 a day 

 collecting insects. 25,000 to 30,000 tons of cane lost annually 

 through grubs in the (Jairns district.

A discussion of natural enemies — (1) Predatory mammala; 

 (2) predatory birds; (3) predatory insects; (4) parasitic insects; 

 and (5) plant parasites (fungi and bacteria). Fungus prolific at 

 Goondi in 1895. Fungus cultures from France had previously 

 been sown in that locality. No subsequent trouble from grubs 

 there. Suggests application of fungus to other field's. Mr. 

 Jodrell referred to fiying-foxes killing beetles; and also his 

 experience with the fungus. Mobsman spent £4,000 collecting 

 beetles, during six years, with no apparent result.

 which were ineffective. Hand-picking was finally resorted to.
