  This 
  poster 
  gives 
  general 
  information 
  as 
  to 
  Gryllotalpa, 
  accompanied 
  

   by 
  figures 
  of 
  the 
  imago, 
  larva, 
  eggs 
  and 
  damaged 
  cabbage 
  root 
  and 
  

   seeds, 
  and 
  suggests 
  as 
  the 
  only 
  effective 
  remedy 
  to 
  use 
  baits 
  of 
  maize 
  

   poisoned 
  with 
  arsenic. 
  In 
  order 
  to 
  prepare 
  these 
  baits 
  a 
  mixture 
  of 
  

   about 
  3 
  lb. 
  of 
  arsenic, 
  6 
  lb. 
  of 
  hme, 
  and 
  about 
  36 
  lb. 
  of 
  maize 
  is 
  boiled 
  

   together 
  till 
  the 
  grains 
  of 
  maize 
  are 
  quite 
  soft, 
  adding 
  water 
  as 
  it 
  evapo- 
  

   rates. 
  The 
  grains 
  of 
  maize 
  ought 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  broken, 
  as 
  the 
  insects 
  may 
  

   miss 
  them 
  in 
  the 
  earth. 
  Having 
  prepared 
  the 
  baits, 
  the 
  maize 
  is 
  

   spread 
  on 
  mats 
  to 
  cool, 
  after 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  sown 
  on 
  the 
  infected 
  spot, 
  

   J 
  lb. 
  of 
  maize 
  being 
  used 
  for 
  every 
  10 
  cubic 
  sajens 
  [490 
  cubic 
  feet]. 
  

   The 
  sowing 
  must 
  be 
  finished 
  5-7 
  days 
  before 
  cabbage 
  is 
  sown 
  on 
  the 
  

   spot 
  ; 
  early 
  in 
  spring, 
  when 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  other 
  food, 
  the 
  insects 
  will 
  

   devour 
  the 
  poisoned 
  baits 
  and 
  perish. 
  In 
  autumn 
  another 
  remedy 
  

   is 
  recommended, 
  the 
  object 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  to 
  catch 
  the 
  wintering 
  insects 
  ; 
  

   for 
  this 
  purpose 
  holes 
  must 
  be 
  dug 
  about 
  2-3 
  feet 
  long, 
  deep 
  and 
  wide, 
  

   which 
  are 
  filled 
  with 
  well-rotted 
  dung, 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  earth 
  ; 
  the 
  

   insects 
  enter 
  these 
  holes 
  to 
  hibernate, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  first 
  frosts 
  they 
  can 
  

   be 
  turned 
  out 
  and 
  destroyed.

  In 
  an 
  introduction 
  to 
  this 
  review 
  the 
  author 
  points 
  out 
  that 
  the 
  

   meteorological 
  conditions 
  in 
  1912 
  were 
  specially 
  favourable 
  for 
  various 
  

   pests 
  and 
  diseases 
  of 
  plants. 
  The 
  following 
  insect 
  pests 
  are 
  mentioned 
  

   in 
  his 
  List.

  pests

   earth 
  "

  " 
  ; 
  the 
  peasants 
  there 
  regard 
  it 
  as
