24 FARMERS' BULLETIN 835. 







POINTS TO REMEMBER. 



(1) Watch the grain crops carefully for the earliest indications of 

 insect outbreaks. Make a daily survey of the fields during the most 

 active growing season, if possible. 



(2) If an outbreak of any insect foe is discovered, apply promptly 

 the remedies recommended in the foregoing pages. 



(3) If in doubt as to the identity of the pest, promptly send a 

 specimen, inclosed in a tight tin box, to your county agricultural 

 agent, State experiment station, or nearest Federal entomological 

 field station, accompanied by a request for information regarding it. 



(4) Keep on hand at least a small supply of the standard insecti- 

 cide preparations, such as Paris green, lime, and arsenate of lead. 

 Very often the delay caused by the fact that these preparations are 

 not immediately available is fatal to the crop attacked. 



(5) Report serious outbreaks of insects to one of the authorities 

 mentioned above. Federal entomological field stations charged with 

 the investigation of cereal and forage insects are located at the fol- 

 lowing places: 



Arizona Tempe. 



California Martinez.
