  MAYETIOLA 
  Kieffer. 
  

   M. 
  destructor 
  Say. 
  The 
  "Hessian 
  fly." 
  Sometimes 
  very 
  destructive 
  

   north 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  shale 
  line. 
  The 
  method 
  usually 
  adopted 
  to 
  avoid 
  

   injury 
  is 
  to 
  plant 
  as 
  late 
  as 
  is 
  safe. 
  In 
  the 
  southern 
  counties 
  it 
  may 
  

   be 
  delayed 
  until 
  after 
  mid-September 
  and 
  injury 
  is 
  rare; 
  in 
  the 
  

   northern 
  counties 
  planting 
  sooil 
  after 
  September 
  1st 
  is 
  usual 
  and 
  

   this 
  is 
  dangerous. 
  The 
  flies 
  usually 
  emerge 
  after 
  the 
  early 
  Septem- 
  

   ber 
  rains 
  and 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  fields 
  for 
  two 
  weeks 
  thereafter. 
  Sometimes 
  

   a 
  scant 
  early 
  seeding 
  is 
  made 
  as 
  a 
  trap, 
  and 
  this 
  is 
  plowed 
  under 
  

   about 
  September 
  10 
  and 
  the 
  real 
  crop 
  put 
  in. 
  

  

  CONTARINIA 
  Rond. 
  

  

  C. 
  pyrivora 
  Riley. 
  The 
  "pear 
  midge." 
  Infests 
  pear, 
  preferring 
  the 
  Law- 
  

   rence, 
  causes 
  an 
  irregular 
  lumpy 
  growth, 
  the 
  larvae 
  eating 
  out 
  the 
  

   core 
  in 
  June. 
  This 
  species 
  has 
  been 
  gradually 
  worked 
  out 
  and 
  nov/ 
  

   maintains 
  itself 
  only 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  places 
  near 
  New 
  Brunswick 
  and 
  

   Newark. 
  

  

  C. 
  tritici 
  Kirby. 
  Locally 
  and

   in

  kernels. 
  Not 
  really 
  injurious 
  since 
  1889.
