  The 
  author 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  damage 
  done 
  in 
  the 
  previoas 
  year 
  to 
  

   crops 
  in 
  the 
  government 
  of 
  Ekaterinoslav 
  by 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Oria 
  

   (Tapinostola) 
  musculosa, 
  Hb. 
  During 
  the 
  harvest, 
  the 
  moths 
  were 
  

   on 
  the 
  wing 
  in 
  great 
  numbers 
  and 
  oviposited 
  on 
  the 
  stubble 
  and 
  on 
  

   weeds, 
  and 
  only 
  the 
  heavy 
  rains 
  put 
  an 
  end 
  to 
  their 
  flight. 
  It 
  appears 
  

   that 
  those 
  fields 
  where 
  the 
  harvest 
  was 
  finished 
  before 
  the 
  rains 
  

   began 
  are 
  again 
  infested 
  by 
  the 
  caterpillars. 
  Damage 
  was 
  also 
  

   noticeable 
  in 
  fields 
  where 
  maize 
  was 
  grown 
  the 
  previous 
  year, 
  and 
  

   evidently 
  oviposition 
  in 
  this 
  case 
  was 
  effected 
  on 
  weeds. 
  Fields 
  

   ploughed 
  over 
  with 
  Sakk 
  ploughs, 
  with 
  grass-remover 
  attachment, 
  

   which 
  bury 
  the 
  stubble 
  deep 
  in 
  the 
  soil, 
  were 
  very 
  httle 
  damaged 
  by 
  

   the 
  pests, 
  in 
  marked 
  contrast 
  with 
  adjoining 
  fields, 
  where 
  no 
  such 
  

   ploughs 
  were 
  used. 
  This, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  burning 
  of 
  stubbles, 
  are 
  the 
  

   principal 
  remedies 
  against 
  these 
  pests.

  In 
  reply 
  to 
  queries 
  from 
  subscribers, 
  the 
  author 
  gives 
  the 
  remedies 
  

   against 
  the 
  sawfly, 
  Hophcampa 
  fulvicornis, 
  Klg., 
  w^hich 
  lives 
  in 
  the 
  

   larval 
  stage 
  inside 
  plums, 
  feeding 
  first 
  on 
  the 
  kernel 
  and 
  afterwards 
  

   on 
  the 
  parenchyma. 
  When 
  the 
  immature 
  fruits 
  drop 
  to 
  the 
  earth 
  

   the 
  larvae 
  leave 
  them 
  and 
  pass 
  into 
  the 
  soil, 
  where 
  they 
  winter. 
  

   Digging 
  the 
  soil 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  destroy 
  the 
  wintering 
  cocoons, 
  the 
  daily 
  

   shaking 
  down 
  of 
  the 
  attacked 
  plums 
  and 
  the 
  destruction 
  of 
  fallen 
  

   fruits 
  are 
  recommended.

  the

  of
