bile. which was later recovered. Elud
ing the Los Angeles police, Wheatley

OF worthless checks at the Bay City.
Posing as the son of a wealthy New
Yorker, he succeeded in emulating his
coast city performances but left
shortly before the deception was dis
covered. Sought now by the police
Of nearly half a dozen cities. Wheat

replenish his nearly depleted funds.

APHIS BECOMING

Tie apnlS Is mere again. UT at

Gus according to County Horticultu
raj Commissioner f. w. Waite. who
stated this morning that due to the
cool weather. which prevents the prop
agation of insects which preyed on
the aphiS, the pest is becoming prey
alent in many parts of the valley.
There are thirty-three varieties Of
the species" said Mr.. Waite, "but the
cabbage. barley. melon and corn aphis
are proving to be the most trouble
some in this section. At present they
are confining their ravages to the
truck gardens and because the wealth
er IS too cold for insects and larvae
which ordinarily counteract the ef-
feets of the aphis. whatever is done
will have to be through the efforts of
the ranehers in the nature of spray
ing"
In speaking of an effective spray,
Mr.. Waite strongly recommended
composition known as BLACK Leaf
10" which, he said. was solution, 40
Per cent of which is naotine. Because
Of its great strength and possible in
jury TO plants, the spraying solution
should be composed of only one part
Of BLACK Leaf 40 TO thousand
parts of water. According TO Mr..
Naite's explanation. the aphis obtains
lis food through sucking process,
the use of the nicotine resulting in
suffocation.
There are number of insects and
larvae common to this valley which
prey on the aphis." he said. "the best
known probably being the lady bird.
In addition to this effective extermi-
nator there is the aphis wolf. the
aphis lion. the larvae of the syrphid
fly, the larvae of the internal para
site fly, the larvae of the lady bug
and the larvae of the green lace
wing.
Finally, as many aphis are de-
Stroyed by the larvae of the ladyhird
As by the adult insect. The aphis
wolf preys directly upon the parasite
ard has proved TO be a tremendous
henefit in checking the spread of
aphis. While he aphis in the valley
work on the surface of the soil. the
wolf burrows 10 a slight depth. re-
sultlng IN depression. in which the
wolf seereteS himself. Where the
wolves are plentiful these holes are
numerous ard the aphis. travelling
from one plant to another. tumble in
te the tiny depresSions, where they
are devoured.
In the case Of the internal parasite
fly, the larva. and not the adult in
sect. preys on the aphis. The body of
tie aphis Is punetured by the fly and
an egg Is deposited In a short time
the larva develops. obtaining its en-
tire saStenaGce from the aphis. and
at later stage of its growth pune
lures the body of the aphis, cement
ing II TO the lsaf upon which it feeds.
Within q short time the aphis is COM
rletely consumed and the erstwhile
larya emerges as fly, having
reached the adalt stage.
The life processes of the syrphid
fly are similar TO those of the inter
nal parasite fly. the case of the green
lace wing fly probably being the only
enc Of the larvae species which dif-
1erentiates greatly. In this instance
the larvae are active. the head being
equipped witk horn-like antennae
which enable hem to capture the
aphis upon which they feed.
