C. k. Crosby and assistants (June): This insect has been 
extremely destructive this spring to cucumbers and melons in 
Wayne, Niagara, Trie, ana Chautauqua Counties. 
R. H. Pettit (June IT): I am sending today specimens of a 
fly that looks just like the adult of the bean maggot, from 
pickle fields at Holland, ^here they are reported to be pre- 
sent ~oy the thousands. A year or two ago we bred adults of 
the bean maggot from cucumber plants in that district.

pest to corn and beans in many sections of the State, and each 
year more inquiries are being received concerning its control.

A enosha, Milwaukee, Grant, Eau Claire, and La Crosse Counties.

mercial damage to onions in the vicinities of Davenport and
