rIoRIDA's ORANGE PEST


Oranges and all fruits Of the citrus fam
lily inFlorida suffer extensive rayages from
the "white fy." This insect first appeared
in this country, in Florida. many years
ago, and is supposed to have been inn
ported from China. It has now spread
all through Florida and along the coast
into Texas. California, fearing its ap-
proach, has made efforts to keep it out,
but in May, 1907, it was found established
at three points in the northern-central
parts OF that State. The white fly not
only directly damages the trees, but gives
rise to sooty mold which spreads over
the leaves and discolors the fruit. The
principal natural means of protection are
four species Of parasitic fungi, which, in
favorable circumstances, give the affected
groves one clean year in three. These
fungi may be artifciaIly disseminated,
and fumigation 10 also employed to CON-
bat the enemy. No insect parasites OF
the white fly are known to the Govern
ment entomologists.
