REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 TOS 
William Caswell of South Byron sowed 10 acres of white 
wheat September 3 and today he thought that he might get 
10% of the crop. 10 acres of white wheat were sown by him 
on the 16th and the grain is no better than in the preceding 
field. 10 acres of red wheat were sown by him September 13 
and this variety was not damaged to exceed 54. 
Clifford Davey of Leroy township sowed 12 acres of white 
wheat between September 12 and 15 and now he is plowing 
the ground up for beans. 12 acres of the same variety were 
sown by him between September 18 and 20 and this field has 
not been so very badly injured. Probably about one fourth of | 
the grain is down. | 
Frank C. Walker of Stafford township has 40 acres of white 
wheat which he began sowing September 12 and finished on the 
20th. Mr Walker does not expect to more than get his seed 
back. The grain sown first is a little worse than later 
plantings but there is not much difference. The first of May 
there was an excellent prospect of getting 25 bushels anu acre. 
The last crop on these fields ranged from 25 to 40 bushels an 
acre. 7 
Lucien Campbell of Stafford township sowed 12 acres of 
white wheat between September 7 and 9. Today he estimates 
that 154 of the grain is still standing. 
dames Berlin of Stafford township sowed 32 acres of white 
wheat September 15, the grain following barley and oats. He 
now estimates that he may get 5 bushels an acre. 7 acres were 
sown by him October 1. This was on ground used for growing 
corn the previous year and it is 60 rods from any other wheat. 
This field is no better than those sown early in the season 
though two weeks ago it looked as though it might produce 30 
bushels an acre. 
Henry Bucklin of Stafford township sowed 11 acres of red 
wheat between September 15 and 20 and it appears to be but 
little damaged up to date. 
John Walsikoski of South Byron has 24 acres of white wheat 
sown between September 10 and 12 but he will not get his.
