Work of the Department of Entomology and Zoology. 



This department covers a wide field of usefulness to the farmers of 

 Kansas. For two 3 ears there has been maintained a general field survey 

 and extensive investigation of the ravages of field insects such as chinch 

 bug, Hessian fly, green bug, corn ear-worm, and other insect pests of 

 general agricultural crops. This work has been carried on in coopera- 

 tion with farmers in various parts of the state. Instructions for com- 

 bating these insects have been formulated and are sent to any one on 

 request. Investigations as to the destructive tendencies of rodents are 

 in progress. The eradication of insects in mills, elevators and granaries 

 is being studied and is carried on in cooperation with mill owners, ele- 

 vator men and farmers. 



For three years destruction of San Jose scale, which is perhaps the 

 most serious of deciduous fruit insects, has been carried forward under 

 the entomological law of 1907 in cooperation with farmers and fruit 

 growers. Plantings over 158 square miles have been examined, scale- 

 infested plantings located, and the owners informed of the dangerous 

 nature of the creature with which they had to deal. Methods by means 

 of which the scale could be killed have been explained and arrangements 

 made to carry out the necessary treatment. About 4000 owners and 

 tenants have been personally visited one or more times. More recently 

 other insects injurious to fruit, such as codling moth and plum curculio, 

 have been taken into consideration, and extensive orchard-spraying exper- 

 iments are now in progress in various parts of the state. 



Bulletins, circulars, and press bulletins reporting progress and results 

 of these studies are being issued from time to time and may be had by 

 writing the Experiment Station.
