J. J. Davis (May 5). On May 2 I was at Haamond and there found cab- 
bage maggot eggs on every plant examined , and in many cases 15 or 
more eggs to aplant. In this connection it is interesting to know

in that section. of the State." 
(May 17). "For the past 15 years the cabbage maggot has 
been a regular pest in northwestern Indiana; last year, however, it

and radish, and dozens of eggs about every cabbage or cauliflower 
plant in the favored areas."

the crop and favored the increased damage ffem this species."
