Chicago wa5 &c higher and wire from

have begun in earnest. Kansas City reports
business amounting 10 10000 bushels con-
hrmed there today. Duluth worked a few boat
loads for export Cash prices were higher today
at both Kansas City and ST. Louis again On
bullish foreign news and the fresh export busi
ness the trade had to face the fact that the
spring crop is harvest in fine condition and
that the big surplus of the year will have TO be
carried by the speculative trade. 1t is mar
ket in which any decided break need not, be
expected because of the foreign situation, and
this suggests purchases on any good dip In
prices
pathy with Chicago. The cash situation re-
mained unchanged Local brokers say that any
selling pressure of new Wheat would probably
depress prices.

PARASITE DESTROYS
GOBLIN MOTHS.
Saves Dollars for Apple
Orchardists and Helps
a Big State Industry

horticultural Commissioner Ellwood
Cooper announced yesterday that he
was satisfied that the parasite i'm
ported from Spain by his department.
TO save the apple crop OF the State
from the ravages of the Goblin moth
has proved TO be a success. The para
site. If properly cultured IN all the
states Of the Union. will effect saving
of about 1OO.O0Os00O a year to the or
chardists of the United States
Commissioner Cooper has travelled
through the Pajaro Valley and
received communications from the
orchardists of Sonoma County, In
which two localities the parasites
were placed last season. This Is
the second season that California has
experimental with the parasite.
There is no doubt" says COmmis-
siOner Cooper, that we have now the
remedy for the ravages OF the Goblin
moth in both apple and pear orchards.
Where the apples and pears were fall
ing a year ago orchardists of the
State now report conditions changed.
In two or three years the Goblin moth
will not likely be considered a menace
to apple or pear growing in Califor-
MIA
THE orchardists in the PaJaro Val
ley have concluded that a remedy for
the moth has at last been provided.
and instead of digging up orchards are
putting in young trees.
Where the parasite that destroys
the Goblin moth is placed the orchard
lists have suspended spraying with
whale oil and other preventivss.
Such substances as are included In
sprays are not suited to the delicate
palate of the parasite.
you can quote me as saying that
the remedy for Goblin moth has surely
been found. We have not sent out
many colonies OF parasites, but the
number will soon be greatly increased
so that every part Of the State may be
benefited as searly as possible
