  The 
  chief 
  pest 
  of 
  orchards 
  in 
  June 
  is 
  Cydia 
  (Carpocapsa) 
  pomo- 
  

   nella, 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  of 
  which 
  do 
  enormous 
  damage 
  to 
  apples, 
  pears, 
  

   plums 
  and 
  apricots. 
  The 
  author 
  gives 
  the 
  remedies 
  directed 
  against 
  

   the 
  second 
  generation 
  of 
  these 
  pests, 
  and 
  especially 
  figures 
  and 
  describes 
  

   the 
  mode 
  of 
  preparation 
  of 
  trap-belts. 
  All 
  fallen 
  fruits 
  should 
  be 
  

   collected 
  and 
  either 
  destroyed 
  or 
  put 
  for 
  some 
  hours 
  in 
  water 
  in 
  order 
  

   to 
  kill 
  the 
  caterpillars 
  contained 
  in 
  them. 
  

  

  The 
  author 
  further 
  directs 
  attention 
  to 
  Melolontha, 
  the 
  pupae 
  of 
  

   which 
  must 
  be 
  collected 
  and 
  destroyed. 
  This 
  remedy 
  is 
  only 
  effective 
  

   if 
  appHed 
  by 
  all 
  the 
  fruit-growers 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  district. 
  The 
  

   destruction 
  of 
  wild 
  blackthorn 
  is 
  also 
  recommended.

  in

  to 
  a 
  subscriber 
  who 
  sent 
  to 
  the 
  Kiev 
  Station 
  

   samples 
  of 
  sainfoin, 
  that 
  they 
  were 
  injured 
  by 
  the 
  larvae 
  of 
  Contarinia 
  

   onobrychidis, 
  Kieff., 
  which 
  suck 
  the 
  leaves, 
  causing 
  them 
  to 
  curl. 
  

   The 
  Hfe-history 
  of 
  this 
  insect 
  has 
  been 
  but 
  little 
  studied, 
  and 
  no 
  remedies 
  

   have 
  been 
  discovered, 
  but 
  the 
  damage 
  done 
  is 
  not 
  important.

  The 
  tobacco 
  Crambus 
  (Cr 
  ambus 
  caliginoselliLs, 
  Clem.) 
  occurs 
  in 
  

   most 
  of 
  the 
  tobacco-growing 
  districts 
  of 
  the 
  Eastern 
  States, 
  especially 
  

   in 
  Maryland 
  and 
  Virginia. 
  In 
  the 
  latter 
  State, 
  the 
  damage 
  to 
  the 
  

   tobacco 
  crop 
  from 
  this 
  insect 
  alone 
  is 
  estimated 
  to 
  average 
  at 
  least 
  

   £166,000 
  annually. 
  In 
  Maryland, 
  G. 
  caliginosellus 
  has 
  for 
  many 
  years 
  

   been 
  a 
  serious 
  pest 
  of 
  tobacco 
  and 
  maize, 
  and 
  during 
  1897-1900 
  

   many 
  fields 
  of 
  young 
  maize 
  were 
  nearly 
  destroyed 
  by 
  it. 
  It 
  has 
  

   also 
  been 
  recorded 
  as 
  damaging 
  maize 
  in 
  Delaware 
  and 
  New 
  Jersey. 
  

   Although 
  only 
  recorded 
  from 
  North 
  America, 
  its 
  preference 
  for 
  the 
  

   naturalised 
  Buckhom 
  plantain 
  (Plantago 
  lanceolata) 
  and 
  the 
  oxeye 
  

   daisy 
  {Chrysanthemum
