WASHINGTON, Nov. 9--Profes-
ser ComstOck, the entOmogist OF
the Agricultural Department., has
returned from the Pacific Coast,
where he went four months ago to
study the habits of the insects
which are injurious TO the fruit
trees. He spent most of his time
in Los Angeles among the orange
groves, where the ravages of scale
insects are quite extensive. He
learned mucu of the life and histo-
ry OF several species, and expert
mented with various devices for
killing them. He brought back
4 living colonies of insects upon
Sgrowing plants, In order that their
habits might be studied more at
Nength. Ii is difficult to detect
their presence with the naked eye,
but with magnifying glass it Is
seen that the bark in some of the
specimens is almost concealed by
insects.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Colonel
Worthlngtou, the statistician Of
the Agricultural Department., is
gathering materials for his prelim.
mary crop report, which will be
ready for publication Monday
noon. Although the exact results
cannot be ascertained before that
time, there is reason to believe
that the yield Of oats, rye and corn
will not vary materially from that
of last year, and that variation will
be decreased from earlier returns.
It was found that there had been a
slight increase in acreage, but the
yield Ia believed to have fallen suf-
ficiently to more than keep the
balance. 1t is probable that the
returns Of the yield Of wheat will
show an increase of about 80, 900. 900
bushels as compared with last year,
more than half being from the Pa
cific Coast. AS the worlds yield
of wheat is somewhat diminished,
there would seem to be fair pros
pect of good prices for the Ameri-
can surplus.
