C, Coryallis, Ore., June 15-Two distinct, but close ly allied species of grubs are at work on the roots of the straw berries grown in the Freewater Milton district, according to As sistant Entomologist A. L Lovett of the Oregon Agricultural Col lege crop pest force, who recent ly returned from a visit to that vicinity. "I found the Otiorhynchus sul catus, the larger species, more limited in its range, and the Otiorhynchus ovatus, the smaller, in greater numbers, in a much greater area, and decidedly more destructive," says Mr. Lovett He spoke at some length on the latter species, to which funda mentally the same statement hold true as regarding the larger and less destructive type. He found the growers there especially in terested in small fruits and horti culture generally, having five and ten acre tracts. All, he said, were wide awake, intelligent, and ready for suggestions and co operation with the college in ex periments. Prof. H. D. Scudder, of the agronomy department, is to assist them in soils difficulties. "The adult of the pest, com monly known as the strawberry root weevil, is a beetle, elongate, about three-sixteenths of an inch, and dark brown. The head has a distinct beak, and the wing covers are pitted. The new brood emerges early in May, and are now busy laying small, round, shiny, white eggs in the soil at the base of the plants. These eggs hatch 5 to 9 days after as small grubs which seek at once the fiberous rootlets about the crown of the plant and feed upon them. When mature they form an earthen cell, contract, and slowly transform to a pupa, show ing the developing legs, beak, and wings of the mature beetle. "The adult beetle feeds on the foliage of the strawberry, as well as of the blackberry, loganberry, sweet clover, and certain native grasses. The grub, too, feeds as well on the roots of the black berry, dewberry, loganberry, clover, native grasses, and sorrel. H. E.
