W. P. Flint (October' 19): The emergence of the fall brood of the 
fly, reported as starting on Sept :. 18 in the last issue of the 
Crop Pest Survey, continued in about the normal manner ', emergence 
being practically over at Urbana by October 4 or 5, ; and 'Very - 
flics coming out after September 28. Data gathered in ether ports 
of -the State she 1 .- ijhe emergence to be normal 30 fat as time of emer- 
gence is concerned, but that the fall brood was unusually heavy. 
All early-sown and volunteer wheat is practically 100 per cent 
infested. Some of the wheat on which eggs were first found on 
September 13 no™ have the fly in the flaxseed stage. Wet weather 
and almost daily rains starting about the recommended dato for 
wheat seeding have delayed the seeding en that some wheat will 
be sown rather late.
