Extract

In west-central Saskatchewan at a single location 18 miles southwest of Laporte, Aeropedellus clavotus (Thomas) appeared in outbreak numbers and destroyed 300 acres of crop in 1936.

The outbreak was resrictcd to two adjoining fields each of 300 acres, but the two differed widely in the amount of damage. These fields were adjacent to the South Saskatchewan River, with a mile of prairie extending down to the river on one side and two section of native prairie on the other. The soil at this location is heavy clay, which is typical of the district.
