Papaya Is Not Host
Fruit For Pest Says
- U. S. Entomologist

Papayas are not host fruit
for the Morelos fruit fly, and
there is no necessity Of de-
stroying them in the general
move in the Valley to keep the
fly eradicated.
This statement was made Sat-
urday by James Zetek, U. S. en-
tomologist who has been in
charge Of the work in the VAL
ley. in connection with an ar
ticle in The Herald Friday
quoting George w. Allne, for
mer secretary Of the Mexican
Gulf Coast Citrus Fruit as
sociation, saying that papaya
is a host fruit.
Mr.. Zetek said he believed all
Valley people should be ap-
prised of the fact that papaya
Is not a host fruit. in order
that they will not destroy this
valuable and healthy fruit, not
ed for its medicinal purposes.
