combating the armyworm menace of 1914 a number of parasites have been of valuable assistance in the present outbreak according to prof l caesar provincial entomologist most common parasite according to professor caesar is a twowing fly which is nearly twice as large as the ordinary house fly and of much the same color it is covered with splney hairs and lays its eggs a short dis tance behind the head and often op the back of the army worm where the pest is unable to get at it with its mouth ichneumon flies are another valu able parasite which although not very abundant are quite helpful this type of parasite lays its eggs right througih the skin of the worm professor caesar also referred to tiny flies known as braconids which are of considerable benefit in the present fight against the pest they are glossy usually black and not more than onesixth of an inch long when full grown they come out of the army worm and make cocoons these are quite white and are left in little piles sometimes under the earth and often in the open we see quite a number of these flies in our present investigations said pro fessor caesar a forcast that the parasites would become much more abundant before the end of the season was made by the professor who declared they would be of inestimable value in ex terminating the next brood of worms which will not be full grown and which are not likely to do much dam age this year starlings and blackbirds are also playing a part in the control said professor caesar he said the in sects in most of the province were now past the peak and the outbreak was rapidly passing away most of the worms have ceased feeding in all dis tricts where oats and barley are al most ready to cut but in the more backward districts where these grains require a week or more to ripen the worms are still fairly abundant and are still causing considerable damage it is most encouraging that in every instance where the farmers are following instructions and are using poison bait and in some cases the furrow we are getting almost per fect control said professor caesar the world owes much to advertiser ll of us would be doorer if there were no advertisements in our
