this character is being done
by the State Crop Pest Commits
sion Of Louisiana. In the orange
lgrowing parishes of the State,
one of the most destructive pests
to the orange and lemon trees is
the "white fly''. This insect not
only sucks the juices from the
leaves, but is indirectly respon-
sible for the "sooty mold" which
chokes up the s.breathing pores"
of the leaves.
Over in Florida a disease called
the .red-pil.k fungus" has for
several years been attacking and
killing the white flies. This BEN
eficial fungus did not occur in
Louisiana, until in the spring of
1906, when the Crop Pest Com
mission sent to Florida for trees
bearing the ripe spores, or seeds,
of this fungus and distributed
these in orange groves in about
a half-dozen localities in Louis
lana. The weather following this
introduction was very dry and
the fungus "plantlngs" did not
stake" except at Lake Charles.
In an orange grove at the latter
place the fungus IS increasing
rapidly and on the trees where it
is abundant more than 50 per
cent. of the white fly larvae on
the trees were killed during the
past winter.
Encouraged by this partial
success, the entomologists of the
Commission are now planting"
the fungus in orange groves in
Orleans and jefferson Parishes
and the recent wet weather.
which is favorable to the devel-l
opment of the fungus-is in
dicative of success. As rapidly
as material from the groves
already infected with the fungus
can be secured, the Commission
will start this disease ia other
orange groves where the white
fly is prevalent. The present
outlook for the success of this
experiment is very bright and
should it prove success, this
beneficial fungus will save the
orange growers of the State
alone, many times all the money
that has been expended by the
Commission IN Its various lines
of work.

TO EXHIBIT AT
PARISH FAIRS
The Crop Pest Commission Will
Have Exhibits This
Year.

Baton Rouge, May 1.-Prof.
William Newell. secretary of the
crop pest commission, writes the
department of agriculture that he
will cooperate by having an ex-
hibit at some of the parish fairs
to be held this year. The exhibit
will consist of large photographs,
small spray pumps, glass cases of
insects, literature, etc., which
will be in charge of assistants who
will answer questions and explain
the exhibits. Last yearthis valu-
able and interesting exhibit was
displayed at some of the parish
fairs and the State fair, where it
attracted much attention. Eight
hundred square feet of floor space
was occupied at the State fair
showing an exhibit illustrating the
principal injurious insects of the
State and the measures used in
preventing damages by them or
in controlling them.
A model of a small farm illus
trating the pasture rotation meth
cd of eradicatlng the cattle tick
attracting much attention. as did
the exhibit of live tick engaged in
egg laying.
Bulletins and other literature
contributed by the commission
and the United States department
of agriculture were distributed.
No lecturing will be done unless
the farmers manifest deeper inter-
est and and give guarantee of a
good attendance. 1t is certain,
however. that the good accom-
plished by these exhibits in edu-
eating the farmers in the control
of their worst enemies is of inn
mense value and should be en-
couraged in every way.

FIGHTING The
INSECT PESTS
State Crop Pest Commission Ii
Doing Some Experimenting
In Orange Groves.

Baton Rouge, La, May L.
Scientists are now realizing that
the abundance of insect pests
which the farmer of today has
to battle with, is due largely, if
not entirely, to the upsetting of
Natures laws.
Before man placed the woods
and prairies under cultivation.
excessive increase of any insect
species was perhaps unknown, or
at most very rare.
Nature has always provided
forces which operate against each
other, as it were; and with insects,
as with other creatures, a balance
between the numbers of different
species has been maintained.
: Modern methods of farming
have often decreased the natural
enemies of injurious insects, and
In other cases have afforded con-
ditions fayoring the rapid multi
pllcation of insects not formerly
present In dangerous numbers.
The practical entomologists of
today, while not discounting the
value of poisons and SPRAYS as
implements of war against the
six-footed host, recognizes that
really satisfactory control is to
be brought about by partial or
total restoration of the conditions
under which Nature formerly
prevented the different species
from becoming too numerous.
The entomologlst accordingly
studies parasitic enemies and dis
eases which destroy the injurious.
insects, and oftentimes he is en-
abled to encourage the parasites
to such an extent that they
largely or entirely control the
injurious insects, and oftentimes
he is enabled to encourage the
parasites to such an extent that
they largely or entirely control
the injurious forms:

The cold was OF that intense, search

Wednesday evening at 5 O'Clock the
mercury stood at IS degrees above

was steady fall in the temperature.
The government instrument at the
home of Mr.. George VanMetre regis

Thursday. and conditions improved SO
slowly that at o'clocx rise or only
Z degrees was reported.

the county stated that conditions were
as bad. and in some places decidedly
worse. than in the city. At Hedgesville,

stood at 10 degrees below zero. while
