STUDY HABITS OF
THE COOLING MOTH
New Mexico Agricultural
College Conducts Ex-
periments.

Agricultural College, N NJ, June IL
The latest work of the United States
experiment station at the Agricultural
college has been with the cooling moth.
The Investigation corroborate the OBJ
servation made by professor Fabian
moth in the Mesflla valley enters the
side of the fruit in most cases. instead
of at the calyx or core
This result is something out of the
ordinary as other experiment stations
find that at least rs percent Of the
lavae enters through the core to get the
seed which serves as food. This i'm
portant work is to be carried on by
J. w Rigney, an assistant, during the
summer. He will work in the pear
orchard on the college farm and in the
apple orchard of H D. Bowman, ada
cent to the farm.
The information sought in regard to
the codlino moth at this time is the
length of its life, cycle and the habits
of theanimal during the lavae stage. The
experiments this year at the college will
be extensive and expensive. Apparatus
Of all description has been secured in
in each of its three stages, that of the
lavae. the pupal and Of the moth itself.
This is to the end that the cycle life OF
each may be thoroughly studied
At the present time, arsenate of lead
spray IS being applied to the fruit as
this reaches and destroys the moth in
fits first stage Other experiments of
an interesting nature that are now be-
ing conducted are those in over hun
dred kinds Of wheat and that in cotton.
1t is not generally known that any
cotton has been planted, but owing to
the number of. southern people in this
section the result will be eagerly in
quired for.
