INTERCEPT and
DESTROY FLIES
Half of Insect Pests Could Have
Been Kept Out of Country
by Quarantine.
FRUIT FLIES ARE BEAUTIFUL
Immense Losses Caused Annually 70
Fruits and Vegetables Of United
States Could Be Prevented
Precautions Being Taken.

More than half Of the insect pests
that annually cause immense losses
I'm 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 1872
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 90
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 10
develop and these rotting areas ofteh
produce greater injury than the mag
gots themselves.
RI Where Danger Lies.
Increasing imports from the coun-
tries where fruit flies now abound. ex-
tension of trade to remote corners
of the earth, increasing density OF
ponnlstion in the warmer portions OF
this country, are making greater eacn
wear the danger that fruit flies may
become firmly established In the Unit
ed States.
To intercept and destroy fruit Mes

horticultural board Of the department
of agriculture. charged with the en-
forcement of the plant quarantine act,
prohibits the entry Of all horticultural
products likely to carry insect pestS
unless they have been rendered free
