many eg'<s of the garden centi-)ede v'ere ohser/ed. Since that 
ti-ire there hps "been a reriod of heavy egg laying. In -nlsces, 
at least, they aT)r)ear to be very slo^^" in h'^.tching, as very 
fev young centiredes have been observed. 1!l^e centi-^edes have 
been active for a considerable -oeriod of ti-ne. In sevcrpl 
plrces they have T^^i-oed out localized areas of s''agar-beet 
plantings. Tliey apparently attack the seed as soon as it has 
germinated. In -olrces they seem to have killed t;:e seedling 
beets after they have reochoa the surface. G-arden centi-node 
attack is ,?lso apparent on asparagus at the -oresont time.
