the onion maggot cannot, apparently be 
controlled by the use of corrosive sub¬ 
limate. At least, the experiments in 
which the material has been tried for the 
onion maggot have not been successful. 
The onion maggot works a little deeper 
in the onion bulb than dives the cabbage 
maggot in cabbages. Moreover, the egg- 
laying habits of the onion maggot fly may 
be enough different from those of the cab¬ 
bage maggot fly to prevent the corrosive 
sublimate from having any effect. At any 
rate, so far no successful' method of con¬ 
trol for the onion maggot has been found. 
If O. TV. D. wishes to try corrosive 
sublimate for the onion maggot. I would 
advise him to make an application about 
as soon as the onions come through the 
soil, using the material at the rate of one 
ounce to 10 gallons of water. I would 
recommend its use on a small scale at 
first, because I am not sure how it might 
affect, the oniou plants. If the corrosive 
sublimate does not injure or burn the 
onions, I would advise putting on an ap¬ 
plication once every 10 days, making at 
least three applications. 
Remember, however, to use it experi¬ 
mentally on a few plants at first to see 
whether or not it injures the onions.

Cabbage Maggots on Southern Plants 
I get. my cabbage plants from the South. 
T think cabbage maggots arc in them when 
I get thorn. D . >t. e. 
In the first place, the cabbage maggot 
is a pest of Northern or cooler climates, 
h or instance* in Knropa it is u post in 
Sweden, Norway. Holland and Germany, 
but does not attract attention in France 
or Italy. In the United States no seri¬ 
ous outbreaks have been known south of 
the southern part of Pennsylvania. On 
the other hand, the maggot is one of the 
most serious pests on cabbage, cauli¬ 
flower and aud radishes in New York. 
New England and Canada. In the second 
place, the maggots are. as a rule, near 
the surface of the roor> in voung cabbage 
plants, and are easily dislodged and shaken 
off when the plants are handled. There¬ 
fore. because the maggot is not abundant 
in the* South, urn! bmms<» it. would bo 
generally dislodged f in the plants in 
their various handlings, we do not believe 
there is mneh danger of bringing them 
into a field of imported plants. 
It is our opinion that the infestation 
by maggots in D. M. H.'s locality comes 
from individuals that have lived through 
the Winter in the fields near at hand. 
Therefore, we believe that treatment with 
corrosive sublimate after the plants are 
set in the field in the manner described in 
The R. N.-Y. for March I, page .‘Mt». will 
prevent injury to the plants.
