  the 
  direction 
  of 
  Kabul 
  ; 
  thus 
  the 
  campaign 
  ended 
  with 
  great 
  success. 
  

   No 
  damage 
  to 
  crops 
  was 
  done, 
  and 
  only 
  small 
  numbers 
  of 
  locusts 
  

   remained, 
  as 
  in 
  Turkestan 
  in 
  1911. 
  

  

  Cahptenus 
  italicus 
  appeared 
  in 
  many 
  parts 
  of 
  Turkestan, 
  and 
  also 
  

   in 
  great 
  numbers 
  in 
  the 
  streets 
  of 
  Tashkent. 
  Some 
  damage 
  to 
  wheat 
  

   crops 
  was 
  done 
  by 
  this 
  pest 
  near 
  the 
  river 
  Kashka-Darya, 
  and 
  

   observations 
  have 
  shown 
  that 
  about 
  80 
  egg-clusters 
  were 
  laid 
  on 
  one 
  

   square 
  foot. 
  Serious 
  damage 
  to 
  crops 
  was 
  also 
  done 
  by 
  this 
  locust 
  in 
  

   company 
  with 
  Arcyptera 
  truchmana 
  in 
  the 
  settlement 
  Novo- 
  

   3Iichailovsk, 
  situated 
  on 
  the 
  left 
  bank 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  Tchirick. 
  

   Another 
  note 
  relates 
  to 
  migatory 
  locusts 
  (Locusta 
  migratoria), 
  

   which 
  hatched 
  in 
  1912 
  in 
  great 
  numbers 
  in 
  their 
  usual 
  breeding 
  

   places, 
  the 
  districts 
  of 
  Perovsk 
  and 
  Kazalinsk 
  and 
  the 
  delta 
  

   of 
  the 
  Amu-Darya. 
  Notwithstanding 
  the 
  great 
  numbers 
  of 
  egg- 
  

   clusters 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  outbreak 
  of 
  these 
  locusts 
  in 
  the 
  district 
  of 
  Perovsk, 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  overflow 
  of 
  the 
  Syr-Darya 
  during 
  this 
  spring 
  when 
  the' 
  

   •clusters 
  evidently 
  were 
  destroyed. 
  According 
  to 
  statements 
  from 
  

   competent 
  sources, 
  it 
  is 
  hardly 
  possible 
  to 
  fight 
  this 
  insect 
  in 
  these 
  

   parts 
  of 
  the 
  country, 
  owing 
  to 
  local 
  conditions, 
  and 
  usually 
  no 
  remedies 
  

   are 
  applied. 
  

  

  According 
  to 
  a 
  statement 
  by 
  M. 
  M. 
  Siazov, 
  Epicauta 
  erytJirocepJiala, 
  

   which 
  is 
  very 
  useful, 
  as 
  its 
  larvae 
  destroy 
  egg-clusters 
  of 
  locusts, 
  has 
  

   •done 
  some 
  damage 
  to 
  crops 
  in 
  the 
  current 
  year 
  (1913), 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  last 
  

   year. 
  Potatoes 
  and 
  clover 
  seem 
  to 
  have 
  suffered 
  most. 
  

  

  It 
  appears 
  that 
  very 
  few 
  pests 
  of 
  field 
  crops 
  have 
  been 
  noticed 
  this 
  

   year, 
  and 
  neither 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Caradrina 
  nor 
  those 
  of 
  Hylietiis, 
  which 
  

   injure 
  cotton 
  seeds 
  and 
  tomatoes, 
  occurred 
  in 
  quantities 
  worth 
  mention- 
  

   ing, 
  except 
  on 
  one 
  estate 
  where 
  the 
  last-named 
  pest 
  appeared, 
  but 
  

   was 
  successfully 
  destroyed. 
  Pests 
  of 
  orchards 
  were 
  very 
  active, 
  and 
  

   Cydiapomonella, 
  C.fimebrana, 
  Rhynchites 
  auratus, 
  Polly 
  phylla 
  adspersa, 
  

   various 
  plant 
  lice, 
  etc., 
  did 
  much 
  damage 
  as 
  usual.

  The 
  author 
  records 
  his 
  attempt 
  to 
  control 
  Lachnus 
  persicae, 
  an 
  aphis 
  

   which 
  does 
  great 
  injury 
  to 
  peaches 
  in 
  the 
  Murgab 
  estates, 
  by 
  smearing 
  

   •carbolineum 
  over 
  the 
  trunks 
  and 
  over 
  the 
  larger 
  injured 
  branches 
  of 
  

   the 
  trees. 
  This 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  December, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  ten 
  trees 
  

   the 
  smearing 
  was 
  applied 
  too 
  thickly, 
  so 
  that 
  the 
  author 
  was 
  

   obliged 
  to 
  wash 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  it 
  away 
  with 
  kerosene 
  ; 
  the 
  further 
  

   development 
  of 
  the 
  trees 
  was 
  not 
  satisfactory, 
  and 
  out 
  of 
  16 
  

   smeared 
  trees 
  only 
  11 
  recovered, 
  four 
  recovered 
  only 
  partly, 
  and 
  one 
  

   died. 
  The 
  author 
  explains 
  these 
  unfavourable 
  results 
  as 
  being 
  due 
  

   to 
  the 
  carbolineum 
  having 
  passed 
  through 
  the 
  bark 
  into 
  the 
  cambium, 
  

   plugging 
  the 
  vessels. 
  He 
  is 
  of 
  opinion 
  that 
  the 
  smearing 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  

   done 
  during 
  the 
  vegetative 
  period 
  in 
  March 
  and 
  April 
  and 
  during 
  wet 
  

   weather. 
  

  

  He 
  further 
  reports 
  excellent 
  results 
  obtained 
  by 
  him 
  in 
  his 
  house 
  

   by 
  using 
  carbolineum 
  against 
  termites 
  and 
  ants 
  {Hodotermes 
  turJces- 
  

   tanicus, 
  Jacobs, 
  and 
  Caniponotus 
  maculatus 
  turkestanicus,
