the heart of the fruit before it is fully
formed. The adult fly does not feed
and is hence beyond our reach. 1t is
only after the injury is done that the
insect goes underground and within
reach of destructive agencies.
AS preventive measure it is recon-
mended that the trees be examined as
soon as the pears are well set, and
that every invested or suspected pear
be picked off and completely de-
stroyed, while if an orchard is gener-
ally infested the following practice is
recommended.
Cultivate as usual or, if the orchard
is in grass or clover, pillow under after
June Is as soon as may be. Top-dress
with kainit 1000 pounds to the acre,
to benefit trees as well as to kill the
insects. As soon as proper, say early
in August, sow crimson clover This
will use up the potash not required by
the fruit trees, and viii store nitrogen
as well as occupy the ground. Early
the following spring turn their sod
under as deeply as may be proper 1t
should be done before the pear buds
are developed in order to head off and
destroy any midges then in the pupa
state near the surface of the soil. This
practice is, at the same time, the best
for the benefit of the orchard.

THE PEAR MIDeg.
Damage Done by This Pest and How to
Hold 1t In Check.

Damage Done by This Pest and How to
Hold 1t In Check.
The pear nudge is one of the insects
which has been introduced into the
United States within recent years and
is causing good deal of injury in the
eastesn states, so that Bulletin No. 90
of the New Jersey station should be of
much assistance to fruit-growers in
that section, as well as in other locali-
ties where pear growing is extensively
carried on.
The adult insect or fly is described as
much resembling a diminutive mos
quito. 1t makes its appearance very
early in the season, before the pear
blossoms open. The female deposits
her eggs in the latter by piercing the
petals or the calyx. The nudge larvae
live on the substance of the pear It's
sue, destroying the seed and checking
the growth of the fruit, which decays
and drops in early summer. Our illus
tration shows a sound young pear
and one deformed by the pear nudge
Larvae.
The great difficulty encountered in
fighting this insect lies in the fact
that there is no period at which it is
within reach of ordinary insecticides
The eggs are laid in the bud before it
opens and the young larvae get into
