LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


LABvA OF TIE COOLING MorH.-About one
year ago the late James b. Saul, Of Oak
Shade orchard, Davisville, reported to Mr..
Cooke that he had found number Of pears
in the orchard that apparently had been
abandoned by the larYa of the codlipg moth,
but did not show the usual opening by which
the lArvA escapes Considerable time was
spent uvtstigating the subject, and they
finally concluded that the larva was taken
from its burrow in the pear by species OF
foInlicG (aut) Mr. Saul was to have made
further investigation and report. Unfo.tu-
nately, his desth deprived the fruit-growers
of report of his investigation. Yesterday
Mr.. Cooke was at the orchard OF G. w. Reed
and finding some pears minus the larva, etc,
mentioned the experience at Oak Shade to
Mr.. Reed, and in company they commenced
investigations Ia one section Of the orchard
they found some pears (Beurre- Clsirgeau)
that showed signs of the presence OF larya OF
cooling moth. and also noticed 3 number Of
ants around the ealyx Of the fruit. In every
pear they found as described the larva had
been taken out. In order to have further
proof Mr.. Cooke procured pear in which he
found larya. he placed the lArya on Leaf
on which there was an ant; result, the ant
carried the lsrvA away. This is the first in.
stance Ia which Mr.. Cooke has found an
insect enemy of the codling moth.
LARvA WORN IN PEAcHEs.-Since our
item last Wednesday concerning the peach
worm considerable notice has been taken of
the peaches in market; also those placed on
table. In one instance at table several were
found, and without doubt the pest is spread
ing to sn alarming extent. The egg is gen.
orally deposited near the stem OF the fruit
The larvA tworml when full grown measures
about bve- sixteenths Of an inch in length
The rings Of the thorax and abdomen are a
smoky brown color; the sutures between
them 8 dirty yellow. 1t is full grown in
seventeen days. It remains in the peupa
state eleven days; the image (moth) measure
about one-gusrter of an inch ia length {;
spread Of wings, seven -sixtesnths Of an inch !;
color, blusish gray. It belongs TO the tortri.
ces, but has not besn identified so far as we
know. The pest can be detected by small
brown mark lcsstingsl near the stem end of
the fruit in some cases the larvs mas eaten
into the pit Tor stone) of the pescb 1t can
also be found in apricots. 1t is to be hoped
that this pest will not be allowed to spread
by negligence, go that the value of the peach
and apricot crop will be impaired.
