  dormant 
  spray 
  is 
  needed 
  to 
  control 
  it 
  completely. 
  Approximately 
  

   eight 
  tons 
  of 
  Paris 
  green 
  were 
  used 
  against 
  a 
  bad 
  outbreak 
  of 
  the 
  

   sugar-beet 
  webworm 
  (Phlyctaenodes 
  sticticalis, 
  L.), 
  and 
  in 
  nearly 
  every 
  

   instance 
  the 
  beets 
  were 
  saved. 
  The 
  attack 
  occurred 
  in 
  June, 
  and, 
  as 
  

   in 
  1912, 
  the 
  usual 
  August 
  brood 
  of 
  larvae 
  did 
  not 
  appear. 
  Lucerne 
  was 
  

   also 
  attacked 
  in 
  several 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  by 
  this 
  pest. 
  Chmbing 
  cut- 
  

   worms 
  (Noctuidae) 
  did 
  considerable 
  damage 
  to 
  young 
  fruit 
  trees, 
  but 
  

   in 
  one 
  large 
  orchard 
  where 
  they 
  had 
  been 
  abundant 
  in 
  1912 
  they 
  were 
  

   completely 
  controlled 
  by 
  banding 
  the 
  trees 
  with 
  tanglefoot. 
  Cacoecia 
  

   {Archips) 
  rosaceana, 
  Harris, 
  the 
  oblique-banded 
  leaf-roller, 
  badly 
  

   damaged 
  the 
  fohage 
  in 
  an 
  apple 
  orchard 
  ; 
  it 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  found 
  feeding 
  

   on 
  Cottonwood. 
  The 
  codhng 
  moth 
  {Cydia 
  pomonella, 
  L.), 
  is 
  becoming 
  

   year 
  by 
  year 
  more 
  abundant 
  in 
  Montana 
  than 
  ever, 
  and 
  the 
  Medi- 
  

   terranean 
  flour 
  moth 
  (Ephestia 
  lilkniellu, 
  ZelL), 
  infested 
  flour 
  from 
  

   Bozeman. 
  Alsophila 
  pometaria, 
  Harris, 
  damaged 
  orchards 
  ; 
  the 
  trees 
  

   should 
  be 
  banded 
  with 
  tanglefoot, 
  applied 
  early 
  in 
  spring, 
  as 
  the 
  females 
  

   emerge 
  from 
  the 
  ground 
  on 
  the 
  very 
  first 
  warm 
  days. 
  Hylemyia 
  

   antiqua, 
  Mg. 
  {Pegomyia 
  ceparum, 
  Mg.), 
  the 
  onion 
  maggot, 
  completely 
  

   destroyed 
  seedhng 
  onions 
  in 
  some 
  gardens, 
  but 
  plants 
  grown 
  from 
  sets 
  

   suffered 
  less. 
  False 
  wireworms 
  {Eleodes 
  sp.) 
  were 
  reported 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  

   time 
  as 
  injurious 
  to 
  grain, 
  one 
  grower 
  losing 
  nearly 
  one-third 
  of 
  his 
  

   crop 
  of 
  autumn 
  wheat. 
  The 
  currant 
  fruit 
  weevil 
  [Pseudanthonomus 
  

   validus, 
  Dietz) 
  is 
  probably 
  responsible 
  for 
  nearly 
  one-half 
  the 
  injury 
  

   formerly 
  beheved 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  caused 
  by 
  the 
  currant-fly, 
  Epochra 
  

   canadensis, 
  Lw. 
  Seventy-five 
  sacks 
  of 
  a 
  shipment 
  of 
  flour 
  were 
  found 
  to 
  

   be 
  infested 
  mth 
  Calandra 
  granaria, 
  L., 
  and 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  Cartodere 
  

   ruficollis, 
  Marsh., 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  sample 
  of 
  wheat. 
  Garden 
  crops 
  and 
  

   potatoes 
  were 
  attacked 
  by 
  the 
  spotted 
  blister-beetle 
  [Epicauta 
  macidata. 
  

   Say), 
  and 
  Nuttall's 
  bfister-beetle 
  (Cantharis 
  nidtalli, 
  Say) 
  attacked 
  

   lucerne. 
  Leptinotarsa 
  decemlineata, 
  Say, 
  the 
  Colorado 
  potato-beetle, 
  was 
  

   unusually 
  destructive, 
  and 
  the 
  poplar 
  leaf-folder 
  (Pontania 
  hozemani, 
  

   Cooley) 
  attacked 
  shade-trees. 
  A 
  careful 
  search 
  was 
  made 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  

   likely 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  for 
  the 
  lucerne 
  weevil 
  [see 
  this 
  Review, 
  Ser. 
  A, 
  ii, 
  

   p. 
  294], 
  but 
  although 
  trains 
  from 
  infested 
  territory 
  daily 
  pass 
  through 
  

   this 
  locality 
  no 
  occurrence 
  in 
  Montana 
  is 
  yet 
  reported.
