Farmers of New Zealand have a en-emy in a light-green aphis which hitherto declared to be unknown, ha practically ruined two small paddock of autumn-sown oats in the Seawar< Downs and Myross Bush districts Samples of the aphis and the oats froi which it has sucked the sap have bee forwarded (says the Southland News to the Government entomologist fo examination and report. The oats wer sown for sheep feed and were abou six inches high before they began t turn yellow and die. The infectio began in a small way in various part of the two widely-separated paddocki and has now worked out from the cei tre to take charge of most of the fasl yellowing crops. The aphis was dii covered by Mr. A. Stuart, the depart meat's instructor in agriculture fo Southland, who believes that the con binaton of high temperatures an humid conditions has been i'avourabl for growth of this sap sucking plan louse. Both affected paddocks, one c eight and the other of four acres, ar lying away from any plantations c garden patches. One farmer is tryin a nicotine sulphate spray, one in 801 as a possible remedy, but it is obviou that oats will not recover unless treat© in the early stages of attack. Bhee had not been run on the crops prior t infestation.
