State Entomologist Craw does
not agree with the report Of the
Horticultural Commissioners OF
San Bernardino, Riverside and
Orange counties, which appeared in
the ChyoRieie on Saturday, relating
TO a species OF ladybird sent to clear
out the black scale from the
orchards of those counties. The
results as observed by the commits
sioners are so much at variance
with the results in other places that
Mr.. Craw does not believe they
have fully considered the matter OF
nave seen the work accomplished
by the ladybirds.
Some time ago a colony of lady
birds was sent to one of the com
missioners, whose name is attached
to the report. Three weeks after
receiving the colony the man wrote
back that his orchard was as badly
affected as before and that the lady
birds had failed to do the work.
From the immediate neighborhood,
notably from the orchard of Alfred
Wright in San Berrardino county,
Mr.. Craw has received the most
satisfactory letters, showing the
ladybirds have done their work
well. In fact, from all over the
State comes similar report, as
shown by letters OH file in the Office
of the State Board of Horticulture.
Mr.. Craw sententiously sizes up the
situation as follows: The scale
and the ladyDird are SO much alike
in appearance that it requires some
knowledge of both to tell which is
which. "

The Rose and the Gardener.
Tie rose Ia the garden slipped her bud,
And she laughed in spite Of her youthful blood
As she thought Of the gardener standing by
He is so old-so old-and he soon will der
The full rose waxed in the warm June air,
And she spread and spread till her heart lar
bare,
And she laughed once more as she heard his
tread
sHe Is older now He will soon be deadi''
But the breeze OF the morning blew and found
That the leaves Of the blown rose strewed ths
ground,
And he came at noon, that gardener old,
And he raked them softly under the mold.
And wove the thing TO a random rhyme,
Foftho rose Is Beauty; the gardener, Time.
