Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cabbage and Onion Maggots
Each yeai, in various paits of the State, cabbages, cauliflowers. And other varieties of cruciferous plants, as well as onions, are damaged to a greater or less extent by maggots feeding on the roots, and therefore known as root-maggots. The injury may not be equally severe two successive years in a given locality, or even in various parts of the same district in any one season, or there may be a series of bad seasons. During the past few years, how ever, the injury has been serious in many sections of our State, the loss on one farm alone in Cumberland county amounting, in 1906, to or over, while in many other places from one third to one-half of the crop was destroyed.
