Rochester, \. T., Jan. Is LP -- Fruit flies which have caused heavy loss in the blueherry, apple and cherry crops of the northeastern area of the United States have been controlled almost to the point of extermination through the use of arsenical mixtures and dust sprays, Professor P. J. Parrott, of the state experimental station at Geneva told the New York State Horticultural society in an address prepared for delivery today.
 Professor Parrott said that in cherry orchards where the infesta- ton had reached 147,0o0 flies per acre it had been found possible through timely and thorough ap- plications of arsenical sprays to ob- tain control not far short of ex- termination. Spraying with lime sulphur or bordeaux mixture con- tsining lead arsenate had proved eff: ~''-'" '-o in cherry orchards. he added.

Russian Violinist, who gave recital
for the patients OF the National Jewish
Hospital Wednesday afternoon, chose
II program characteristic Of his aristo-
cratic and deeply musical personality.
There were Brahms. kreisler Achron
Himsky- KDrsakoff. Chopin-W Wilhelmy,
Mussorgsky and Rachmaninon numbers
on The program. His tone pure and
tcclnic faultless, he held the apprccia-
tive audience spellbound throughout.
He was a decided sensation in the
works of his native land. The rhythm,
the irrepressible color with which he
contrived to vivify these numbers were
as exciting as they We're unusual. Par
ticularly the lIopak by MuSsorgSky
which RachmaninOif has transcribed
specially for Maestro Kochanski, and
which was played from manuscript,
was electrifying. Maestro kochunski
had very able collaboration at the
piano in Gregory Ashman.

the occasion by the knight-Camrbcll
