REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1901 709 



William Caswell of South Byron sowed 10 acres of white 

 wheat September 3 and today he thought that he might get 

 10$ of the crop. 10 acres of white wheat were sown by him 

 on the 16th and the grain is no better than in the preceding 

 field. 10 acres of red wheat were sown by him September 13 

 and this variety was not damaged to exceed 5$. 



Clifford Davey of Leroy township sowed 12 acres of white 

 wheat between September 12 and 15 and now he is plowing 

 the ground up for beans. 12 acres of the same variety were 

 sown by him between September 18 and 20 and this field has 

 not been so very badly injured. Probably about one fourth of 

 the grain is down. 



Frank C. Walker of Stafford township has 40 acres of white 

 wheat which he began sowing September 12 and finished on the 

 20th. Mr Walker does not expect to more than get his seed 

 back. The grain sown first is a little worse than later 

 plantings but there is not much difference. The first of May 

 there was an excellent prospect of getting 25 bushels an acre. 

 The last crop on these fields ranged from 25 to 40 bushels an 

 acre. 



Lucien Campbell of Stafford township sowed 12 acres of 

 white wheat between September 7 and 9. Today he estimates 

 that 15$ of the grain is still standing. 



James Berlin of Stafford township sowed 32 acres of white 

 wheat September 15, the grain following barley and oats. He 

 now estimates that he may get 5 bushels an acre. 7 acres were 

 sown by him October 1. This was on ground used for growing 

 corn the previous year and it is 60 rods from any other wheat. 

 This field is no better than those sown early in the season 

 though two weeks ago it looked as though it might produce 30 

 bushels an acre. 



Henry Bucklin of Stafford township sowed 11 acres of red 

 wheat between September 15 and 20 and it appears to be but 

 little damaged up to date. 



John Walsikoski of South Byron has 24 acres of white wheat 

 sown between September 10 and 12 but he will not get his 

 seed back.
