  The 
  author 
  refers 
  to 
  the 
  outbreak 
  of 
  Phlyctaenodes 
  (Eurycreon) 
  

   sticticalis 
  which 
  occurred 
  the 
  previous 
  summer, 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  infertility 
  

   of 
  the 
  females 
  of 
  the 
  second 
  generation 
  which 
  appeared 
  after 
  the 
  end 
  

   of 
  July. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  genera- 
  

   tion 
  did 
  not 
  pupate, 
  but 
  remained 
  over 
  the 
  winter 
  in 
  their 
  cocoons. 
  

   Both 
  the 
  infertihty 
  and 
  the 
  non-pupation 
  were 
  due 
  to 
  diapuse. 
  In 
  

   order 
  to 
  be 
  able 
  to 
  estabhsh 
  the 
  exact 
  number 
  of 
  hibernated 
  cater- 
  

   pillars, 
  the 
  author 
  suggests 
  that 
  digging 
  operations 
  should 
  be 
  under- 
  

   taken, 
  and 
  in 
  case 
  of 
  discovery 
  of 
  cocoons 
  with 
  hving 
  larvae 
  or 
  pupae, 
  

   that 
  the 
  finders 
  should 
  communicate 
  with 
  the 
  Bureau.

  This 
  bulletin 
  contains 
  recent 
  remedies 
  for 
  the 
  control 
  of 
  cutworms. 
  

   Where 
  grass-land 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  ploughed 
  up, 
  the 
  turf 
  should 
  be 
  sprayed 
  with 
  

   arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  a 
  few 
  days 
  previously 
  ; 
  after 
  harrowing, 
  the 
  survivors 
  

   of 
  the 
  cutworms 
  may 
  be 
  destroyed 
  with 
  poisoned 
  bran. 
  Spraying 
  the 
  

   weed-grown 
  borders 
  of 
  fields, 
  and 
  the 
  dipping 
  in 
  arsenate 
  of 
  lead 
  of 
  

   plants 
  about 
  to 
  be 
  set, 
  is 
  also 
  advised. 
  Young 
  cabbages 
  and 
  tomatoes 
  

   may 
  be 
  surrounded 
  with 
  cyHnders 
  of 
  tin 
  or 
  cardboard 
  when 
  first 
  

   planted, 
  or 
  trapping 
  with 
  pieces 
  of 
  board 
  between 
  the 
  rows, 
  and 
  hunting 
  

   with 
  a 
  lantern 
  at 
  night 
  may 
  be 
  tried. 
  The 
  short 
  rotation 
  of 
  crops 
  is 
  

   also 
  advised.

  This 
  journal 
  quotes 
  a 
  statement 
  from 
  a 
  local 
  paper 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  pros- 
  

   pective 
  campaign 
  against 
  locusts 
  in 
  the 
  province 
  of 
  AkmoUnsk 
  and 
  

   surrounding 
  governments. 
  Some 
  1,050 
  square 
  miles 
  in 
  the 
  government 
  

   of 
  Tobolsk 
  have 
  been 
  infested 
  by 
  egg-clusters 
  of 
  locusts, 
  according 
  to 
  

   investigations 
  in 
  1913. 
  The 
  campaign 
  will 
  consist 
  in 
  spraying 
  opera- 
  

   tions, 
  about 
  £7,000 
  having 
  been 
  assigned 
  for 
  this 
  purpose, 
  in 
  the 
  form 
  

   of 
  a 
  loan 
  to 
  the 
  local 
  population, 
  to 
  be 
  repaid 
  in 
  10 
  years. 
  In 
  order 
  

   to 
  conduct 
  the 
  campaign, 
  the 
  whole 
  country 
  has 
  been 
  divided 
  into 
  

   26 
  districts, 
  the 
  average 
  area 
  of 
  each 
  being 
  about 
  40 
  square 
  miles.

  that 
  it 
  can 
  only 
  be 
  

   seen 
  with 
  the 
  aid 
  of 
  a 
  magnifier, 
  injures 
  cucumbers 
  and 
  various 
  other 
  

   plants
