acres of a 3,000-acre sunflower plantation in the vicinity of Mars ton 
are infested for the first time, in the experience of the manager., 
with this beetle. In a rapid survey of a 30-acre patch 100 per cent

results in the wilting of the heads and in other cases so weakens 
the plant that it is readily blown over. It is impossible as yet 
to ascertain to what extent the crop will be damaged."
