GROWERS SHOULD FIGHT
CHERRY ERUIT-FLY
1t Is Dangerous Pest to Cherry
Growers.

The growing OF sweet cherries is
an important phase of the fruit IN
dustry in certain districts of Idaho,
according to Prof. Vincent of the
horticultural Department who has
issued the following statement con-
corning the control of certain Insect
pests OF the cherry:
with the development of the n
dustry OF cherry growing insect
pests of various kinds have made
their appearance. Most of the cherry
pests are fa4rly easy to control D'i.
new pest, the cherry fruit-fly, is
now causing considerable concern
among the growers. This is the in-
sect that causes wormy cherries, and
the evidence OF their work is not often
detected until picking time when the
worm may be seen in the bottom of
the cherry dish or at the bottom of
Jar of canned cherries
These worms are the maggots of
closely related species of fruit flies.
The adults are somewhat smaller
than the common house fly, have
black bodies and their wings are
crossed by four blacklist bands. The
flies deposit their eggs under the skin
OF the ripening cherries, and the
maggots which hatch in a few days
feed upon the juicy flesh of the cher
r1es, thus causing them to rot near
the cavity.
Until recently cherry-fi1es have
been considered among the hardest
Of insect pests to combat. Recent ex-
periments conducted by eastern horti-
culturists seem to indicate that the
dies can be controlled by sprinkling
5he foliage with sweetened arsenate |
IF lead at the time of their appear
ance in June A mixture of five
pounds of arsenate of lead in 100 gal
ons of water, which has been sweet
sned with three gallons of cheap mo-
asses, has been found satisfactorily

IDAHO HERDS SHOW

Idaho ranks very high in health

of cattle containing 1,751 head OF
cattle were tested for tuberculosis
with only 81 COWS reacting or Ii per

"Idaho despite the increase of 90
per cent in the area of farm land IN
a decade has by no means reached the
limit of agricultural development.
The number of farms and the total
area of improved farming lands will
be materially increased by clearing
large acreages now in cut-over con-
dition and by the reclamation by irri-
gaion of from one to three million
acres. Agriculture promises there
