INTERCEPT and
DESTROY FLIES
Halt Of Insect Pests Could Have
Been Kept Out of Country
by Quarantine.
FRUIT FLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
Immense Losses Caused Annually to
Fruits and Vegetables Of United
States Could Be Prevented
Precautions Being Taken.

More than. half of the insect pests
that annually cause immense losses
In fruits and vegetables Of the United
States could have been kept out OF
this country by thorough quarantine
against them, according, to officials Of
the United States department of agri-
culture. To guard against more in
furious insects being brought In from
other countries is the object Of the
federal plant quarantine act of 1912
which, with the development Of knowl-
edge of insects throughout the world,
has resulted In the bars being put up
wherever the pests are likely to enter.
Among the. insects Of other lands
that have not yet become established
IN this country are the serious pests
known popularity as fruit flies. They
resemble ordinary house flies but are
far more beautiful, inasmuch as their
wings are prettily spotted and band
ed and their bodies are usually more
brightly colored. They are like house
flies also in that they lay small, white.
eggs that hatch into whitish maggots.
However, the maggots do not develop
in refuse or decaying matter as do
those Of the house fly, but they feed
upon the living tissues Of fruits, nuts
and vegetables. Eggs are laid just
under the skin of the host plant or
fruit and these hatch into the mag
gots which burrow in all directions
through the pulp. As the maggots
tunnel about they cause decays to
develop and these rotting areas often
produce greater injury than the mag
gots themselves. IA
Where Danger Lies. 4
Increasing imports from the coun-
tries where fruit flies now abound, ex-
tension Of trade to remote corners
Of the earth, increasing density Of
population in the warmer portions Of
this country, are making greater each
year the danger that fruit flies may
become firmly established in the Unit
ed States.
To intercept and destroy fruit flies
rs well as other pests, the federal
horticultural board Of the department
# agriculture, charged with the en-
'orcement Of the plant quarantine act, |
prohibits the entry Of all horticultural |
PRODUCTS likely to carry insect pest, |
lnless they have been rendered free
rom danger as pest carriers, either
" federal inspection or by treatment
" approved methods under federal su-
'ervision.
The department also has estab-
Ished in the Hawaiian islands a sys-
EN- Of inspection that is heartily sup
orted by fruit growers and transpor-
alton companies, whereby all planta-
Ions and packing houses from which
ruit is shipped are kept from becom-
lg sources Of fruit-hy dissemination.

FRUIT FLIES SPREAD

The Bermudas probably would
not now be infested by the Med
: lterranean fruit fly had not
J sailing vessel bound for New
York from the Mediterranean re-
gion during the Civil war times,
been blown from her course and
forced to unload her cargo
containing infester fruits at
st George. The Mediterra-
mean fruit fly did not become es-
tablished In Australia until
steamships and cold storage
made it possible for the infested
Mediterranean countries to ship
oranges to Perth and Sydney.
With the pest established in
eastern Australia the ships ply
ing between Australia and Ha-
wall carried the maggots to Hon
olulu, and today the inspectors
of the state Of California and
the United States are intercept
ing infested fruits on ships ar
irving at San Francisco and San
Pedro from Honolulu and Hilo.

BEWARE OF THE SCANDAL TALK

For the past month or so certain
elements of the county seat have
been very active circulating imprint
able reports that ought to be un-
speakable, about certain home that
has been broken up. A small orphan
girl, unattractive and deformed,
made criminal charges against the
man of the house, and with each sue
ceeding interview she added some
shocking items to her story. After
she seemed to have told all that She
wished to or all that she had been
melted to tell, there was final con-
ference of lawyers and doctors and
plans were mapped out to determine
ABSOLUTELY whether the girls state
ments were true in the most vital
matters. The reports of the physi-
clans showed that some of her state
ments were absolutely false. It was
considered that if she did not tell
the truth regarding the important
items, she was unworthy of belief
regarding anything ELSE she had said,
and the criminal charges against the
man were dismissed.
The child had been in the orphans
home at Boise, and the man who pro-
vided her with home by adoption,
finds his own home broken up and
he is confronted with the legal re-
sponsibility of continuing to provide
her with home. even after being
disgraced by reports of something
that never happened.
In this case the officials took time
to consider everything and ascertain
the facts before going into court, and
the public press kept it's hands off |
and did not add to the injury by |
giving wings to reports that were
merely manufactured. The mere
fact is that home has been broken
up, and an adopted girl from the
orphans home at Boise figured in the
case in an effort to- ruin a man and
his business, but she did not get help
enough to complete the job. If
members of the family are at fault
in having their home destroyed, the
officials and press have nothing to
say as to who is most at fault or
how to remedy it. People who have
heard reports would do well to for
get them. Those who have not
have escaped something unpleasant
and damaging r.

 If the lace is very frail, before washing, 1t should be pasted on piece of shrunken cheese cloth which may be pulled taut and pinned for drying. Otherwise it should be carefully pulled, every point pinned into shape and left until dry. This leaves the lace flat and makes ironing unnecessary.
