Abstract
Control of the cabbage maggot, Chortophila brassicae in western New York resolves itself largely into the protection of late cabbage while still growing in the seed bed. Comparisons of the mercuric chloride and cheese cloth methods are decidedly in favor of the former, as regard~ cost and adaptability, although the method has still to prove its worth during seasons of maximum abundance of the insect. Certain precautions must also be observed since there is danger of burning just as the young plants are pushing through the ground. No other materials tested, except tobacco dust, gave great promise of success.
