AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

The first successful crop OF Smyrna
figs ever raised IN America has been
grown in the orchard of Mr.. George c.
Roeding. of Fresno. Cal. who alone, Of
all the California orchardists, kept up at
great expense. for more than ten years.
an extensive orchard (about sixty-two
acres) of Smyrna fg trees without de-
irving the slightest profit from it.
Mr. E. 4. Schwarz, who has held the
position of assistant Of entomoligist for
the last thirty years, is authority on the
Smyrna fg-growing in this country, and
on a recent visit TO California made sew
eraI- important discoveries
It was through him, together with Dr.
L O. Howard and Mr. W T swingIe,
of the United States Department OF Ag-
ricuIuure, that the first successful intro
duction of the fig insect was made in
California, and in the spring of 1898 il
was discovered that this insect is alb
solutely necessary for a production Of a
large crop Of Smyrna figs.
Dr.. Schwarz also discovered that the
spring crop Of the Capri fig which de-
Telops on the previous years growth, is
extremely vigorous both in size and
number of figs; II is characteristic of
a male tree, the fig containing besides
gall flowers Gin which the insect under
goes its transformations) a large num-
Der of male flowers, which produce an
abundance of pollen. Dr.. Schwarz finds
that the fall crop Of the Capri fig devel-
ops on the new growth: that it is ex-
tremeiy weak and inconspicuous IN
comparison with the spring crop. and
that the figs, are small and appear, with
few exceptions, several weeks later than
the corresponding crop Of the female
tree but buds continue TO develop to
figs as long as warm weather lasts, to
the middle OF November or even later.
While IN the West he took particular
notice that the Capri fig trees from
which a large number Of cuttings have
been taken, or from which the inside
growth has been trimmed out. are gen
orally avoided by the insect. The same
holds good TO over pruned or over
trimmed female trees.
At Fresno, Cal. in 1900 DR.. Schwarz
roughly estimated the number Of in
sects which issued from the spring figs
