blasting big and little orange trees
alike. A sOotlike mold on the golden
fruit always shows the movement of
the white fly.
A parasite for the insect was sought,
and a young scientist travelled into
strange lands in search of it. Finally
he ended his quest in the country of
the Gauges river. Near Lahore ne

He soon discovered the insect which

where tests and experiments have been
made with them. These have proved
to be fairly successful.

THE COOLING MOTH
A serious blight on the apple orchard
of the country is the codling moth.
Its larya always reaches the core, ex-
cepting when it dies on the way. 1t
is estimated that this insect Is reSpon-
sible for the loss of $12.000.0O0 n year
i'm the United States. The female
moths deposit their eggs soon after
~blossoming time. and the eggs develop
in about ten or twelve days. The
worms then enter the apple. In about
four or five weeks the worm Is fully
fed and bores for the side. having done
its worst. 1t leaves the apple and
makes its cocoon in q sheltered place.
In about fourteen days the moth
emerges.
The principal method of controlling
this pest Is spraying.
The fight on the many insects which
attack stored grain has received con
siderable attention of late. as well rs
the army of dangerous bugs which are
spreading disease and blight through
American forests.
