with shears pruning the branches, thar
not one may touch the earth.
Cut or army worms which have been
increasing by the millions In the last
few weeks. with the continuation OF
cool. damp weather. have attacked the
orange trees. In the last few days
hosts OF the worms have invaded the
orchards OF Highgrove. and Il was dis
covered that they are destroying not
only the next years orange crop, but
the late variety OF fruit which is still
on the trees. In several orchards they
were found In such Immense qualities
yesterday that II became evident that
measures must be taken at once to
stay the destructive work Of these
pests.
Horticultural Commissioner s. A.
Pease inspected the orchards In that
vicinity xesta'dhN He slated that
the situation is indeed a serious one,
Mr.. Pease directed that wagonloads Of
Gull fruit be laid on the ground under
the trees in the hope that the worms
would devote themselves to the dis
earded oranges until sprayers could
be put to work TO make the trees Inn
possible for them to live.
But early this morning the fly pa.

tried and proved most effective. The
worms were unable to cross the sticky
width of Gy paper and as the trees
were trimmed so that the branches did
not touch the ground Il seems that,
though a singular one, solution for
the difficulty has been found.
