Excerpt from Queensland: Bureau of Sugar Experiments Stations: On the Value of Poison Bait for Controlling Cane Grubs The following Bulletin by Mr. E. Jarvis is of such importance that its immediate publication is deemed advisable even though the tests made have been on the laboratory scale and not in the field. The urgency of remedial measures in connection with the most serious pest that sugar cane is subject to in Queensland is so great that the preparatory methods suggested should be put into operation on a field scale at the time advised - viz., about three weeks after the first general appearance of the beetles. This Bureau will also have tests made on the field. The cheapest method of sowing cow-pea would be by a seed drill such as the Miss Dixie.
