Hmiin Fly.
The Hessian Fly is- u small dark
colored, two-winged insect about one.
eighth of an inch in length. This fly
juuwe* the winter in the stage called
the “flax setd" stage. This “flax-
seed" is really only the dried external
skin of the larval stage of the insect.
In the spring the regular pupa is
formed ar.d in a short time the adult
insect appears. The adult deposits
her eggs usually on the upper side of
the leaves of wheat and then in a few
days, having finished her task. dies.
The young that hatch from these
eggs soon work their way down to
one of the lower males or j ints of
thte stem. Here they pass into the
larval stage and the characteristic
“flax seed” stoge may be found in the
wheat during the entire summer.
The damage i« due to the resulting
stunting of the stem and the frequent
“lodging" of the grain that results.
The application of any insectiside is
absolute!} hopeless against this result
and modified farm practice is the
only avenue of escape.
In the north two broods are formed
but in Oklahoma we should expect to
find more broods during the season.
The last brood formed during the sea-
son also deposit their eggs upon the
leaves and the young in this case
make their way down to the lowest
joint beneath the ground. The fllux-
seed stage is entered ujsm and the
season’s work of the insect is closed.
The date ut which the fall brood de-
posit their eggs, varies with the lati-
tude, that is, with the temperature
and hence we should expect to find
the insect depositing its eggs earlier
in the northern part of the Territory
than in the southern part. Wheat
should be planted so late that the in-
sect will be forced to deposit the
eggs in some other grass in the neigh-
borhood. If late sowing proves im-
