State HorticuIturist Adopts Stringent
Measures in Efforts to Kill the
White Fly Which Threat-
ems Orchards

Ellwood Cooper, state horticulturist,
has adopted stringent measures for the
eradication of the dreaded Florida white
fly, which recently made its appearance
in Yuba county in and around Marys-
vile.
A fortnight ago the state commission
was asked by Los Angeles to declare
Yuba county in horticultural quarantine.
This has not been done as yet, but the
horticultural commissioners of that
county have been instructed to compel
the pruning of all foliage in orchards
affected by the pest, and to see that all
limbs and branches cut from the trees
are burned. In addition, the trunks
must be coated with whitewash.
This. it is thought will prove effica-
cious, as the white ny never attaches
under side of the leaves of citrus trees
or shrubs.
According to the bulletin on the sub
ject. issued by the state commission,
there is no known remedy. either in the
form of spray or fumigation. that can
safely be relied upon to exterminate this
pest. The gravity of this statement can
