ORANGE TORICID.
Spray Formula to Use in Control
Thereof.

The orange tortricid or "tortT1X
as it is sometimes called, is snali
light-green caterpillar living in WEBS
or burrows. 1t sometimes webs leaves
together, or burrows through the
rind Of oranges or grapefruit, but not
into the pulp. 1t seldom appears IN
Injurious numbers, says J. M. wat
son, station entomologist. but is caus-
ing frequent complaints this year, as
high as one-third of a crop being re
ported lost on account OF it this year.
The burrows are commonly started
where two fruits come in contact or
whare a leaf touches a fruit. The
leaf will be found fastened to trurt
by means of few fine silken threads
and the caterpillars will be more
numerous on grapefruit than on
oranges.
Spray with lead arsenate, p
pounds of powder or 3 pounds OF
paste in so gallons of spray. This
may be added either to the spray
used for purple scale or whitetiy' or
to the sulfur sprays used against
rust mites. In the latter case, care
must be used as the lead combines
with the sulfur, and the resulting ma
terial has been known to burn tender
foliage.
Further information concerning
this pest may be obtained from Flor
ida Experiment Station Bulletin l48
which is sent free.

THE auto LAW

Idaho will oppose any proposed uni
form automobile law that is expensive
to operate. creates new officers, and

also oppose any measure tending to

ment was given out Thursday by Bob

cussing a letter from Secretary Sam
A. Kozer of Oregon, suggesting meet
ing between the secretaries of state
or representative of the motor vehi-
Gle departments, of the states of Wash
ington, California, Oregon and Idaho.
Such a meeting is urged by the Ore
gon secretary, that there may be some
uniformity in recommendation to the
convening legislatures affecting the
automobile license tax and the law
enforcement provisions pertaining
thereto.
Under the Idaho law the automobile
licensing is in the department of law
enforcement. Commissioner Jones, in
speaking of the proposed meeting,
which will probably be held in Port
land next Monday and Tuesday, and
also Of proposed changes in the Idaho
