B Farm and H rv M/l AM ai uvu NORTHERN GRAIN APHIS. Michigan Authority Believes Its Bark Is Much Worse Than its Bite. Probably the most misleading Insect on the grains If not on the farm is the common northern grain aphis. It collects during some seasons in great numbers on the heads of wheat, rye, barley, oats, sorghum and other near relatives of the grass family, sometimes fairly packing full the spaces in the heads of these plants and seeming to threaten their very existence. This gathering in great numbers usually occurs just as the grain is In the milk. In all the Instances seen by the writer, R. H. Pettit of the Michigan expert ment station, the threatened injury uus been averted by tiny parasites, which have destroyed the plant lice and reduced the loss to a nominal one. The northern grain aphis appears very much like other plant lice, both winged and wingless forms being found. The color Is green with black markings. The Illustration gives an Idea of Its appearance under a strong lens. Before the grain commences to ripen the parasites usually commence to destroy the lice. These parasites NORTHERN GRAIN APHIS, WINGED FEMALE. [From Michigan Agricultural college experiment station.] are black for the most part and about one-tenth of an Inch in length. They move about with a quick, nervous motion. They lay their eggs in the living bodies of the lice. The grubs or larvae from the eggs feed on the body contents of the living lice, and when full grown each spins a cocoon Inside the skin of the dead louse, swelling it to a pear shape and changing the color to a brown or copper tint. After pupation occurs inside this cocoon the parasite cuts a neat circular door in the skin of the louse in order to get out. The multiplication of the plant lice is rapid indeed, but that of the parasites is still more rapid, so that before the grain is killed the lice are for the most part destroyed. Of course this may not always occur, but so far the writer's experience with them has been that their bark is far worse than their bite. Cultivating the Corn Crop. The essential thing in corn cultiva tion is to keep the ground free froir weeds and covered with a soil mulch The results of fifty-six different tests at seventeen different agricultural ex perl men t stations show an average in crease of 42 per cent resulting front shallow cultivation as compared witl deep cultivation. In moist yrr.rs cul tlvation Is of less importance than 1i dry years. 1 m CONWAY, S. C., THUR8 TAX RETURNS.
