MAXIMUM YIELDS of grain must be produced riot 

 only during the present year but for several 

 years to come. The present international situation 

 renders this imperative. Insects are responsible for 

 great reductions in grain crops annually, but such 

 losses are largely preventable. The injuries caused 

 by insects often remain unnoticed except where their 

 work is very conspicuous. 



Therefore, WATCH THE CROPS CAREFULLY 

 FOR EVIDENCES OF INSECT INJURY AND APPLY 

 REMEDIES PROMPTLY. TJiis bulletin will tell you 

 how to fight the Hessian fly, chinch bug, army worm, 

 cutworms, grasshoppers, white grubs, billbugs, corn 

 root-aphis, and wireworms. 



Keep in close touch with your county agricultural 

 agent, State experiment station, or Federal entomo- 

 logical station. Report all serious insect outbreaks to 

 these officials and seek their v expert advice in all cases 

 of doubt regarding treatment for, or identity of, insect 

 pests. Have a supply of insecticides and a practical 

 spraying outfit on hand at all times. WATCH YOUR 

 CROPS.
