New Whitefiy Enemy Imported

The whitefy is one Of the most
troublesome insects to the citrus
grower and one against which he
must use a combination Of meth
DDS for control. The most effici-
ent control is had by artificial and
natural means, spraying with IN
secticides and introducing para
site fungi. These two methods
must be practiced religiously to a.
void damage. Few growers have
succeeded in preventing some
damage to their groves and others
have neglected entirely to com
bat the insect. A new enemy OF
the whitefy has been imported,
however, which promises to aid in
controlling the pest.
The first and most successful at
tempt to control a pest by natural
insect enemies was the introduce
ton Of the Australian lady beetle
to prey on the cottony cushion
scale. The next striking success
was an attempt to keep down the
white peach scale by parasitic
enemy, the Prospatela, in South
! America. This enemy controls en-
tirely the white scales.

Sodium Cyanide Solution Rids
Seedbeds of Ants

Small seeds such as lettuce fire.
quently fail to give good germi-
nation when there is apparently
no reason for it. If the seeds are
alive and if there is plenty OF
moisture and warmth they should
give good stand. When these
conditions are fulfilled and germ
nation is poor it is probable that
ants are causing the. trouble.
They are fond of small seeds and
will carry practically the whole
planting to their nests if they are
left unmolested.
J. r. Watson, entomAogist to
the University Of Florida Expert
ment Station, suggests that the
nests be treated with a solution OF
sodium cyanide. One ounce of the
poison to quart Of water will
make solution strong enough.
Punch hole in the main entrance
of the nest from six inches to a
foot deep. Pour about an ounce
of sodium into the hole and close
it Immediately by tamping the
soil. The solution will eyaporate
and the fumes liberated will Kill
the ants. If all the ants are not
killed the survivors will probably
