THE ASPARAGUS MINER. 5 
If this work were carefully done over a considerable area, it would 
leave little necessity for other methods, since it would do away with 
these insects in the vicinity and leave few to be dealt with another 
season; unless, indeed, this insect has an alternate food plant. The 
cooperation of neighboring" asparagus growers and thoroughness are 
essential for success. 
This method will operate also against the rust which is now present 
in many fields infested by the miner.
