The same problem con-
fronts Tacoma, Olympia and
Portland, according TO Chase,
who says the earwig has
gained a firm foothold in
those cities.
Unless we get the earwig under
control at once" Chase said today,
"other cities will refuse TO accept
shipments OF fruit. vegetables or
flowers from Seattle for fear that
the products are infested with the
insect"
This. however, according 20 Chase.
Is only one of many ways In which
the earwig Is an active menace to
the health and prosperity OF every.
one In Seattle.
lie tabulates the principal evils of
the earwig as follows:

IL spreads all manner of diseases.
u Because no one wants to be
Zs bothered by the pest. II depre-
ciates the value of any property
