statement: "Last weak just as my wheat was in "bloom on some 
pasture land the worms seemed to start in the same place as 
they did last fall and in two days had completely destroyed 
all the blades of wheat as well as the stand of grass, which 
was about 6 inches high. There are three larger farms a few 
miles away entirely demolished already." At least 95 per 
cent of the specimens were infested with parasitic eggs which 
I take to be tachinid flies.
