FOLsOM'S ZIG DAM

Work on it is Progressing Rapidly-More
Workmen Needed.
Excellent progress is being made on the
big dam at Folsom, says the Folsom TeLe-
graph. Four courses of stone have been
laid about one-third of the way across, on
the outer side of the river, and large
amount of other necessary work done.
The top of the dam is full of men, and big
rocks are laying around in plenty awaiting
the work of being placed in position. Con-
crete is being mixed on the dam, and men
are wheeling sand and loose rocks, to use
in filling in the crevices. Although large
quantities of rocks are blasted out every
day, it makes the men rush to keep I'D the
supply.
Two hundred more men could be em-
ployed to advantage on the work.
Sumo gigantic rocks have been blasted
out, but have to be broken into pieces, be-
cause the facilities for handling such great,
heavy pieces of stone are not there. Sew
eral pieces are to be seen that alone would
almost fill up tie gap in the canal. They
are all being drilled and broken into sew
eral pieces, and are all of the very best
grade of granite. The work on the sand
plant, that is to be used in the canal con-
struction, is being pushed, and will be done
about next week.

THE cURcuLIo (MAeY1rIEp.l

This snout the curculio uses to make the
crescent-shaped cut in the fruit in which
the egg is deposited. The jaws are at the
end of the snout. The thorax is uneven,
and the wing cases are ridged and bumped,
covering two transparent wings by which
the insect flies FROM tree to tree. Each
thigh has two small teeth on the under
side, with which the pest clings to the fruit
he is destroying.
The curculio usually appears between
the first of April and the middle of June,
according to the forwardness of vegetation.
When the plums are about the size of peas.
the female begins 10 sting the fruit, making
an incision in which she deposits a single
egg. She goes from plum to plum, placing
an egg in each until her store is exhausted,
hardly fruit escaping when the insect is
abundant The grubs, resembling whitish,
footless maggots, with a rounded distinct
light-brown head are Matched by the heat
OF the sun, and Immediately burrow OBJ
liquely to the stone. The fruit, weakened
by the gnawing of the grub, becomes
gummy, and falls to the ground before it is
ripe. By this time the grub has attained
its full size, quits the fruit and enters the
ground. 1t there becomes q pupa. and
comes forth a perfect insect in about three
weeks. Several broods may be hatcbed in
a season, the latest remaining IN the ground
as pupa all winter.

Indians and Chinese Having the Prefer
ence Over White Youths.
Manager Medley of the Exposition build
ing states that at least dozen boys apply
daily at that place for employment in the
orchards, hop fields and vineyards, but
there are few calls for them. Indians and
Cinnamon, however, have no difficulty in
getting employment of that kind. A gang
of about one hundred copper-colored native
sons of Nevada came in by rail yesterday
to work in the hop fields near this city.
Mr.. Medley says he wrote several days
ago to the Manager of the State Board of
Trade, inquiring as to whether that body
had any applications for boys for fruit or
hop-picking. but has received no reply. He
thinks the white youths of the land should
be given the preference when help is
wanted.
Referring to the alleged untidy condition
OF the interior of the Exposition building,
the Manager says it is impossible to keep
the placards, papers and exhibits free from
dust. because of the proximity of the rail-
road locomotives, the smoke and ashes
from which invade the building and cover
everything therein. The shelves and
stands are busted regularly, but soon look
as grimy as ever. He says members of the
improvement Assocla ion never visit the
place TO make suggestions or inform them
selves as to its needs.

THE INSECTS WORK.

Some good authorities believe that the
curculio passes the winter above ground in
the perfect state, and, therefore, that any
operations in the soil at this season can be
OF no advantage in guarding against its
ravages.
Not only plums, but nectarines, aprieots,
peaches, cherries, apples, pears and ounces
are attacked by the curculio. As the cur
culio is good flyer, efforts to prevent its
ascending the trunks of trees must be of no
avail. Various remedies have been used,
But none ever proved successful.
The white pine" curculio differs but
slightly from the plum species, so far as ap-
pearances go. 1t never attacks fruit, how
ever, and contents itself with DESTROYING
pine trees.
The one exasperating feature in connec.
ton with the curculio is thst, so far as is
known, no parasite has ever developed to
destroy it. 1t has existed unmolested in
various of the Atlantic States for a long
time.
The parasite is the only hope of the
fruit-grower in the cases of all pests" said
Professor Motherall
Everybody remembers what consterna-
ton the cottony cushion scale caused in
Los Angeles, where it destroyed orange
groves in wholesale. But it has met its
fate in the Australian lady-bug, imported
for the purpose. A Los Angeles paper re.
Gently published an interview with Colonel
Dobbins and H. A. Unrub-the former an
extensive fruit grower. and the latter
Superintendent of Baldwin's immense
orchards in Santa Anita. The statements
of these gentlemen were positive, uneauiy-
ocal and consonant. They were all to the
effect that the white, or rather cottony cush-
ion scale-bug is practically thing of the
past. Wherever PedOlia CARDINALS has
been set to work he has in very short
time cleared the tree of every vestige of.the
pest. Orange growers sill over the county
are taking care to procure this little friend
of theirs and to make war at once with his
aid on the bugs.
These same gentlemen were also quite as
emphatic in their statements 10 the effect
that the red scale is also rapidly disappear
ing before the onslaught of the lace fly, and
a small bug not yet classified, both of these
parasites being of local development These
statements are entirely corroborated by
those OF Mr.. Cogswell of the Sierra Madre
Villa. When this became generally known
plea was made to the Horticultural Asso-
citation and the scale pest officers to forbear
for while the spraying process which had
proved of dubious benefit, in order to give
these parasites fair play in their effort to
destroy the pests. The officers investigated
and found that this was indeed the case,
that the parasites were doing long pray ed
for work of eradication.
But the curculio has so far escaped the
deadly parasite and has baffled all attempts
to check its progress wherever it has ap-
peared, either in the United States or in
foreign countries, where its ravages have
been the most destructive. Californians
may well be thankful that the curculio has
not yet visited their wonderland.

Mclaughlin Quits Because Burke Sent

SAN FRANCISCO, August 10th.-The Sac
ramento boys went to pieces to-day, and
toward the last of the game were in de-
moralized condition. Errors were plentl-
full, and the Oaklands had an easy time
running around the bases. Mclaughlin
wanted to quit catching, as Burke refused
to let up in his speed, but after delaying
the game, Billy was induced to go again
behind the plate.
The game was a noisy one, and full of
kicking on both sides. Burke was hit
hard, but did his best under the circum-
stances. Newbert had an off day, but some
of his assists and put-outs were very fine.
Farrell grew tired in the fifth inning, and
Coughlin went in to pitch. Gagus pro-

NO C0RCULIo YET.
THIS FRUIT PEST STILL A STRANGER
TO CALIFORNIA,
Professor Motheralrs Investigation-De-
scription of the Insect-Eradica-
ton of the Red Scale.

The fruit-growers of Sacramento may
discard all their fears. The much-dreaded
curculio is not here
Such was the announcement of Professor
MotheFall, State Entomologist, after he had
concluded his investigations in this vi
cinity during the latter part of this week.
The cause OF Professor Motheralls visit
to this city was the appearance in a San
Francisco daily, about week ago, of an
article setting forth that there was a rumor
among fruit-growers that the dreaded cur
culio has appeared this season in Los An
geles county, and also in Sacramento.
hf course such a statement naturally
caused mo- e.ernatiop and fear among
our fruit growers, as 'no IA -a-cr -.
sect in other countries is well known.
The article above referred TO went on to
frighten the fruit men in the following
language: The curculio will, perhaps,
destroy our plum, prune and apricot in
dustries. 1t will at least greatly hamper
and ipjure the business of fruit growing.
California, with the curculio well natur-
allied in every county, is poorer by $780,
600 600 than California free from that terri
uic litllc lEuLl WtcNll. ut lHtIOuuCllOu Vi
the Goblin moth, by means of few pack
ages of sample apples from the East, has
driven the apple and pear out of profitable
cultivation over large area of the State.
The curculio is a much more dangerous
enemy than the Goblin moth, and is
probably more expensive to fight than
either the moth or the scale pests.
Mr.. Motherall will go to Los Angeles as
soon as possible to hunt the enemy in that
section. He doubts gravely its existence
at all in California, and is confident that
he can relieve the fears of the Los Angeles
fruit-growers as he has those of the Sacra-
mentans.
There are two varieties of the curculio.
One is called the white Pine" and the
other the Plum curculio. 1t is small
beetle of the family Ctwcalionid5e and
genus Rhych@auS. The perfect in
sect is about one-fifth of an inch
long, dark brown, variegated with white,
yellow and black spots; shaken from
tree it looks like dried bud, and when
disturbed remains motionless, feigning
death. 1t has long curved snout, bent
