Connecticut W.'E. Britton (June '3): Iwrite to report a serious situation 
in the tobacco fields of this' State where much- injury is being 
caused by wireworms. In 'my experience of 31 years in the State, 
I have never known anything so extensive, -V.'e visited one plan- 
tation yesterday where SV acres of tobacco are grown under cloth. 
About 50 acres of this has been ruined by wirewottas -and sere of 
it has been reset twice-. The wireworms are now injuring the 
third set of plants. Host of this land has been in tobacco for 
many years, though occasionally it is seeded and allowed to be 
in sod for two or three years. Some of it at least has had a 
cover crop of timothy during the winter, the grass being plowed 
under in the "spring. 
We have reports of 10 or a dozen growers •"here considerable in- 
jury has been caused, but the one mentioned is perhaps the worst 
case. Altogether, thousands of "dollars damage has resulted. 
We expec to carry out seme experiments with carbon-disulf ids 
emulsion and with cyanide'. (See also under xebacco.)
