time past made this subject a serious
study and will soon issue a bulletin, giv­

much sought for by the tillers of the
soil. At present the Hessian fly has a
very wide distribution throughout the
grain-growing region of Europe and
America. There is evidence of it having
existed from prehistoric time in the
southern Europe adjacent to the Medi­

this country near New York City, on
Long Island, by Hessian soldiers during
th« war of the revolution in 1776 and
1777. The pest infested the straw used
for the soldiers’ beding and soon spread
from their camps. Observation showed
that a spread from that section into the
adjacent territory was approximated
at the rate of twenty miles per year.
