Commissioner Felix G. Havens has ad-
dressed a circular letter to each of the
two railroads transacting business in
Southern California informing them tina
owing to the diseased condition of the
Mexican fruit shipped into the United
States 1t Is necessary to prevent the
spread of disease among the orange
orchards, that the cars in which such
fruit is brought in be fumigated. The
danger, the commissioner asserts, Is
from worms with which the Mexican
fruit Is infested, which. he claims, grow
wings and become flies, which lay more
eggs for worms. He recommends the
use of two ounces c. p., cyanide of po-
tassium and two ounces fluid of sulphur
acid I'M five ounces of water to every 100
cubic feet of space to be filed with the
gas. The local agents are of the opinion
that the suggestion will be followed by
the railroads. and the companies are in
favor of keeping the fruit here clean
from pests.
