with the result that the Smyrna figs were
swollen and matured into as large and as highly
sugared fruit any that are imported.
After DIR. Howard heard of the success which
had at last attended the experiments on the
Fresno ranch he sent an expert to California
to study the habits of the wasp which had so
long and persistently eluded scientists. The
wasp is born in the heart OFT caprifg, where
the female insect buries her eggs in what are
known as gall flowers" imperfect pistillate
flowers. on maturing the male insect lives ioi
a while within the fig, but never looks upon the
light Of day The female however, equipped
with wings. finally gnaws her way out ana
flies away in quest of another caprlhg, where
she may lay her eggs. She must have the gan
flower which is round and pulpy to place thell
in and only the caprifig can furnish them.
The orchardist is cruel, and he commits muir
der in carrying out his schemes. Just before
the female wasp issues from the caprifg the
orchardist gathers these figs together and hangs
them in his Smyrna fig trees The mother in
