A Novel Care fer Insect Pests.

Doctor Behr has made some interest.
ing researches in the vicinity of Paso
Robles, having bearing on the vexed
problem of fruit pests. Doctor Behr is
etymologist to the Academy of Sciences.
When he started out on his expedition
it was with the innosant object of add
ing I'd his c6llectio1I Of insects some va
grant coleoptera that had yet to be
pinned up in his wetl-flled cabinet.
Seen the other day, Doctor Behr de-
scribed novel cure for all manner of
insect pests, and d cure that may be
found in quantities near Paso Robes.
II noticed upon my arrival at Paso
Robles," he said, 'tthat insects of nearly
every kind native TO other portions of
the State were Is be found. NV re-
searches exten9 Eeough neighboring
parks and tree "a agwell as through
fruit orchards, 4 AID flower gardens.
Imagine my agtoniShment at failing to
find any of that extensive family of in
sect pests so deadlyito the fruit industry.
I commenced an Investigation into the
matter with the particular object of find
ing whether the common scale bug or the
green aphis were not to be seen. A
thorough search failed to reveal either of
these twin pests. I discovered that the
cure for all these evils was a small spe.
cies of the titmouse that preys upon the
very pests our fantrs seek to rid them
selves of. The birds, it seems, feed
upon the eggs of insects-nip pest life
In the bud, so to speak. I see no reason
why the titmouse cannot be employed
in similar service all over the State. 1t
would be an easy task to acclimatize
them in the various farming sections.
At present we get ladybugs from Aus
tralia to clean out insect nuisances.
Strangely enough our farmers spray their
trees and kill the ladybugs. A method
for making my diRcoyery useful is now
taking form in m. mind, and may
shortly detail plan whereby the useful
titmouse may be bnGd in all parts Of the
State. San Francisco Chronicle.
