ADVERTISE IN THE TIMES
METHODS FOR THE CONTROL.
OF CHRYSANTHEMUM MIDCF,

The chrySanthemum midpe onterod
'he United States from Europe few
years ago and is now an established
greenhouse pest, says the United
States Department of Agriculture. r.
was first reported in this country from
Michigan and is now known to be pre-
sent in more than 20 States and IN
Canada. 1T is regarded as one of the
most important pests to be reckoned
with by chryqsanthemum growers
While principally a greenhouse pest,
1t occurs on outdoor plants even as far
north as Ottawa, Canada. The injury
to badly infested plants is such as to
destroy their value for commercial pur
poses. In the tender portions Of the
plant are laid the eggs from which
tiny maggots hatch. The mappots
then bore their way into the plant tis-
sues, thereby causing gals. Apparent
ly this midge was brought to America
without It's quota Of parasites and il is
not yet certain that native parasites
OF gan nudge fauna are preying upon
it effectively.
Control Measures Worked Out
