J. W. Hi '.Col loch (October 23): '"e still have plenty of the Hessian 
fly with us, and present indications are that this insect will cause 
considerable damage to the 1926 wheat crop. The principal trouble 
seems to be located in the central and western counties of the State, 
although the fly is present in all parts, except a -few- of the south- 
western counties. Early-sown wheat throughout the State now contains 
flaxseeds. In L.icPhcrson County many early-sown fields have been 
plowed -up because of fly damage. wheat received from Lane County 
two we3ks ago contained a large number of flaxseeds, and this record 
extends the western spread of the insect to some extent.
