COLLEGE is
INVESTIGATING
THE SMALL BUGS

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Or, July 1O-The smallest but
but by no means the least important
Of the new buildings at the Oregon
Agricultural college is the insectary,
in which problems in the control aud
determination of insect pests will be
studied. The new "bug house. as the
students call It, is located in an or
chard near the college cumpus, and,
though simple in construction. has
ample accommodation for large
number of experiments, which are al
ready under way The work is under
the direction Of Prof. II. f. Wilson, of
the entomology department.
Study Of the Cherry Slug.
/ One experiment is being conducted
with the cherry slug, cherry twigs
with leaves being kept in bottles of
water to keep them fresh, and on the
leaves the slug deposited. The object
is to study the life history Of the pest
to know just when, where and how
the eggs are deposited, and the slugs
deyeloped-so that the proper time
and mode of treatment may be deter
mined upon, When the leaves spoil,
the slugs are transformed to new
ones.
Several small apple trees are util-
lzed in another experiment There is
an insect which feeds upon roots. The
entomologists want to know whether
this pest feeds only ON the apple tree
roots, or on the roots of weeds and
grass about the tree, or on both,
Some of the trees used In the experi-
ment are therefore kept entirely free
OF any other growth about the roots.
The development Of the insect pest in
the two cases will be compared, and
treatment devised accordingly.
Insect That Attacks Ralslns.
It was found that some insect was
working In raisins offered for sale in
the open market A handful OF the
fruit affected is in glass Jar under
inspection, with a view to Matching out
crop OF the bugs and determining
their character and history, so that
ralsns may be so treated in packing
that they will be free OF the invader.
