Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hessian Fly in the United States It is now seventeen years since any comprehensive treatise on the Hessian fly in America has been published. In the meantime so many important facts have been learned concerning the life history, food habits, and parasitic enemies of this important pest that such a treatise is urgently demanded. While the main object in such a review is the bringing together of these recent contributions with the important deductions with regard to treatment which follow, the fact that the elaborate essays by Drs. Fitch and Packard, so exhaustive for their time, are inaccessible to a great majority of farmers and even to many students, is a sufficient reason to present the details known concerning this insect.
