ENT0MOLOGlSTS BEGIN
IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN
University of California Experts to
Fight Cherry Slug and Corn
Worm

By Associated Press
BERKELEY, Jan. 27.-The entomol-
ogists of the University of California
are preparing to make two important
insect campaigns this spring in diff
ferent afflicted sections of the state.
One of these will be against the
cherry slug in the Suisun valley. This
is the larva of the saw fly, which at
tacks the fruit after the blossoms fall
and the fruit has just set. The in
sect bites the fruit and causes it to
fall prematurely. Arsenic sprays are
to be used against this pest.
Work is also proposed on the sub
ject of the corn worm which destroys
sweet corn for canning purposes. The
worm eats the ends of the ears, thus
running them for canning. The inten-
ton of the agricultural experts is to
plant two crops of corn of a variety
of which the pest is excessively fond.
This first crop is to be harvested and
used for cattle feeding and will be i'm
mediately supplanted by the regular
crops for the canneries. In this man
ner the injury to the cannery product
will be greatly minimized.
