HAVE A occD USE FOR BUGS.
California Fruit Growers Set Cne In
sect to Prey Upon Another

To the subject of insects, harmful
and beneficial. more attention is given
here than in any other state in the
union. Here was first applied the dis
covery that there We're insects that
feed upon and destroy the various
white, black and purple scale insects
that kill the orange, olive and other
fruit producing trees. This discovery
has resulted in importing and breed
irg the various lady bugs which have
made our citrus crop safe. We have
learned the use of another kind of
useful insect. The lady bugs swarm
upon sale-covered trees and keep up
perpetual picnic, increasing as they
go, until the orchard is cleaned entire
ly. Then Mr.. Craw found that we
have minute insect, a native of the
golden west, which, properly encour-
aged, moves into the black scale, in
habits IT as place of residence and
proceeds to eat up its babitation, and
then moves with its increased family
into others. This little friend of ours
does not increase fast enough to en-
tirely overtake the black scale, which
cotDiCSuo II, Dul II uOtS ueSlTOy from
one to three-quarters of the black
scale every year, and the black lady
bird from Australia does the rest.
We got the San Jose scale from
China. 1t arrived before we had our
immigration laws against such aliens,
and was unfortunately named the San
Jose scale, to the injury of the good
name OF that splendid fruit region in
the Santa Clara valley. 1t is now
nearly exterminated here, tharks to
nnother internal parasite and lady
bird bearing the royal name of rhizo-
bus toowoombae. The San Jose scale
was carried east and as the use of
beneficial insects is not as well un-
derstood there as here it has in some
sections become the terror of horticul
ture.-San Francisco Call.

GOT CLOSE TO 1T.
Occasion When Jack Was Near the
Head of His Class.


Jacks parents were ambitious for
their offspring; but the offspring lack
ed both ambition and industry. Hook.
ey and marbles were far more attrac-
tive to Jack than geography and arith-
metic, consequently his father and
mother had never achieved the desire
of their heart, which was to see their
son at the head of his class.
AS the winter progressed. Jacks
monthly reports kept pace with the
thermometer in it's slide toward zero.
Mother was discouraged; father was
wrathy. First bribes were offered,
then threats were resorted to, but
nothing availed. The end of each
month always called forth the same
scene in Jacks family-tears on the
part Of mother; the switch on the part
of father.
Jack would seem to be overcome by
remorse and promise better things for
the future, but If skating or, coasting
happened to be good. his resolutions
would melt under the ardor of his
enthusiasm for these sports, and the
lessons would go by the board
"Oh, Jack, why can't you get 1902"
sighed his mother, when his last re-.
port was presented.
Jack fidgeted stood first on one
foot, then on ancthar, then he burst
out desperately:
We'll, mother, II come pretty
near it this month. IL sat next to a

THE AMERICAN PRUNE.
California Leads the Worlj in Raising

Prunes.
Next to raisins. prunes are the most
important dried fruit III the market.
The bulk OF the Drunes Of the world
are produced in California. where the
crop amounts to 10000 900 pounds in
ordinary seasons. Oregon is fast be-
coming large producer. ard about 3d.
100000 pounds will be produced there
this year. With an output approximat-
ing 200.000.0e pounds from the Pacific
coast alone. the disposition of the crop
becomes of great importance. and the
probable yield elsewhere in the world
is also vital matter.
Next to California, France is the
most important producer. and normal
yield sometimes runs up to S5.000.000
pounds. which are nearly all consumed
al home.
This year there is a world shortage.
and probably not more than 100, ,000, 900
pounds will be produced altogether.
France will not have 10.000000 pounds,
Bosnia and Servia will yield half a
crop. California will send out only
about 30.000.000 pounds. reduction OF
fully one-third. Only Oregon is left
with a full yield.
