  belongs 
  to 
  over 
  100

  Various 
  crops 
  have 
  been 
  damaged 
  in 
  Maryland 
  in 
  1913, 
  though 
  

   the 
  grain 
  and 
  cereal 
  growers 
  have 
  suffered 
  more 
  heavily 
  than 
  others. 
  

   The 
  army 
  worm 
  {Cirphis 
  unijpuncta) 
  did 
  considerable 
  damage 
  in 
  

   Kent 
  and 
  Talbot 
  counties. 
  Experiments 
  in 
  cutworm 
  control 
  

   showed 
  that 
  both 
  poisoned 
  bran 
  and 
  middUngs 
  mash 
  (50 
  lb. 
  of

  middhngs

  and 
  cut 
  clover 
  sprayed 
  with 
  

   a 
  solution 
  of 
  Paris 
  green 
  (J 
  lb. 
  green 
  to 
  50 
  gals, 
  water), 
  were 
  effective, 
  

   the 
  latter 
  retaining 
  its 
  powers 
  longer. 
  The 
  serpentine 
  leaf-miner 
  

   (Agromyza 
  pusilla) 
  was 
  abundant 
  on 
  white 
  clover 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  serious 
  

   pest 
  of 
  alfalfa. 
  Frequent 
  cuttings 
  will 
  control 
  it. 
  The 
  green 
  June 
  

   beetles 
  (Allorhina 
  nitida), 
  commonly 
  called 
  June 
  bugs, 
  were 
  reported 
  

   as 
  seriously 
  injuring 
  corn 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Cumberland. 
  The 
  larva 
  

   feeds 
  and 
  matures 
  on 
  very 
  rich 
  ground, 
  particularly 
  in 
  old 
  manure 
  

   piles. 
  Thorough 
  cleaning 
  up 
  each 
  autumn 
  and 
  autumn 
  ploughing 
  

   will 
  be 
  beneficial. 
  The 
  boxwood 
  leaf-miner 
  (Monarthropalpus 
  huxi), 
  

   heretofore 
  only 
  reported 
  from 
  one 
  place 
  in 
  Rhode 
  Island, 
  was 
  found 
  

   injuring 
  a 
  hedge 
  in 
  the 
  suburbs 
  of 
  Baltimore. 
  Several 
  methods 
  of 
  

   control 
  were 
  tried. 
  The 
  last 
  spraying 
  — 
  with 
  whale-oil 
  soap 
  and 
  Black 
  

   Leaf 
  40 
  — 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  entirely 
  successful, 
  but 
  promises 
  well. 
  The 
  

   trumpet 
  leaf-miner 
  of 
  the 
  apple 
  (Tischeria 
  malifoliella) 
  has 
  increased 
  

   for 
  several 
  years. 
  This 
  year 
  about 
  10 
  per 
  cent, 
  of 
  the 
  leaves 
  in 
  the 
  

   College 
  orchard 
  were 
  damaged. 
  The 
  smaller 
  leaf 
  surface 
  in 
  August 
  

   and 
  September 
  inevitably 
  reduces 
  the 
  vitahty 
  of 
  the 
  tree 
  just 
  when 
  

   it 
  is 
  passing 
  into 
  the 
  dormant 
  state. 
  Cabbages 
  were 
  injured 
  in 
  the 
  

   autumn 
  by 
  several 
  species 
  of 
  caterpillars, 
  particularly 
  by 
  the 
  cabbage 
  

   looper. 
  By 
  proper 
  sprapng 
  at 
  a 
  late 
  date, 
  with 
  lead 
  arsenate, 
  soap 
  

   and 
  water 
  it 
  is 
  possible 
  to 
  increase 
  the 
  late 
  cabbage 
  crop 
  by 
  one-third. 
  

   A 
  small 
  bark 
  beetle 
  (Ips 
  grandicollis) 
  did 
  about 
  £100 
  worth 
  of 
  damage 
  

   to 
  Koster 
  Blue 
  Spruces 
  at 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  nurseries 
  in 
  the 
  State. 
  The 
  

   beetles 
  — 
  which 
  apparently 
  came 
  from 
  a 
  pile 
  of 
  pine 
  mine-props 
  near 
  by 
  

   — 
  bored 
  into 
  the 
  young 
  trees, 
  kilhng 
  them 
  in 
  a 
  short 
  time. 
  The 
  white 
  

   pine 
  weevil 
  (Pissodes 
  strohi) 
  is 
  another 
  pest 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  nursery 
  on 
  

   seedUngs. 
  It 
  feeds 
  in 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  leading 
  shoot 
  of 
  the 
  pine, 
  stunting 
  

   the 
  growth 
  and 
  producing 
  a 
  misshapen 
  tree.
