THE PEAR MlOGE.
Inc Damage Done by This Pest and the
 Best Way to Hold It In Check.

Inc Damage Done by This Pest and the
 Best Way to Hold It In Check.
 The pear midge is one of the insects which have been introduced into the United States within recent years and are causing good deal of injury in the eastern states.
 The adult insect or fly is described as much resembling diminutive mosqui- to. It makes it's 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 midge larv@ live on the substance of the pear tissue, destroying the seed and checking the growth of the fruit, which decays and drops in early summer. Our illustration shows sound young pear and one deformed by the pear midge larv@.
 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 larv@ get into the heart of the fruit before it is fully formed The adult fly does not feed and is hence be- yond our reach. It is only after the in jury is done that the insect goes under ground and within reach of destructive agencies.
 As a preventive measure it is recom- mended that the trees be examined as soon as the pears are we'll set and that every infested or suspected pear be picked off and completely destroyed, while if an orchard is generally infested the following practice is recommended
 Cultivate as usual, or if the orchard is in grass or clover blow under after June 15 as soon as may be. Top dress with kainit 1, 1000 pounds to the acre to benefit trees as we'll as to kill the in- seots. As soon as proper, say early in August, SOW crimson clover. This will use up the potash not required by the fruit trees and will store nitrogen as we'll as occupy the ground. Early the following spring turn this sod under as deeply as may be proper. It 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.
