irvae in a certain field in midsummer ware killed by the ichneumonid parasite 
‘known as Canidia, but now named Bathyplectes. This would be nearly 
gt rotection to an ipiacved field if it occurred at the season when the weevil 
rae were most humerous, and it indicates that this parasite is adaptable to our 
ate and farm conditions, both of which points were dovtful when it was introduced. 
The work upon Euxoa auxilaris has been chiefly directed toward verifying its 
history and studying its many parasites. Its attack in Utah has been princip- 
y apon alfalfa, a striking variation from its habit of attacking wheat in Montana 
m ny fields it has destroyed the first crop entirely. We have not yet given much 
mtion to methods of control. 
Aphis bakeri has been known for years as a pest of the clover seed crop, 
ecially in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and the Snake River Valley of Idaho. 
little attention has been paid to it by entomologists, although it is one of 
@ most important factors in the uncertanty of clover seed production. Our work 
on it is at present confined to life history studies. 
Some Slight attention has been paid to other economic insects ss a protection 
inst unexpected attacks, but those mentioned are the important things in our ter- 
and have taken most of our time.
