is injurious to t iniot ry grtass and it is advisable to
plough deeply in autumn in order to bury the puparia or to
omit thi;s grass from t Ihe rotation for one or two years.
Ilepiilus lupulinus, at Floro, cut tie stems of the grass
above the root to such an extent that the ground was literally
covered by the stems. Against Phyvllopertha horticola,
ploughing n and harrowing in order to expose the larvae to
insectivorous birds and dressing in the autumn with gas lime,

attacked clover in the spring, spraying with Paris green is
recommended. 'lTie larvae of ('hort ophiln ( Anthomyia) br'ssicae,
