In his April report, submitted to
the supervisors by B. \. Harrigan,
county horticultural commissioner,
the following statement is given:
"The recent discovery of ser,
ious infestation of Mediterranean
Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata) in
three counties in Florida has an
important bearing on the future of
Imperial Valley. This pest has not
been hitherto found established in
continental North America. 1t is
probably the most dangerous fruit
pest not yet established in this
country. Its host plants include
practically all California fruits and
many vegetables, bananas and pine
apples being the only fruits admit
ted from Hawaii, where this fruit
fly is established. 1t also is known
to breed in injured cotton bolls,
etc. Many nut trees will furnish
breeding places in the pulpy hulls
around the nuts.
"A representative of this office
was sent at once to the infested
region to secure first hand infor
nation as to eradication methods
and n practical knowledge of this
insect for use in ease the pest ever
gets into our region.
This pest has always been fear
ed and carefully inspected for by
all federal and state quarantine OF
ficers, Florida fruit has been ship
ped in large quantities this season
into Oregon and Washington and
other northwestern states before
the fruit fly was discovered SO that
we must be on our guard against this
northern region as well. The mild
winter climate of that region Will
certainly not be severe enough to
destroy n pest that has been able
to live in much colder regions. This
danger certainly calls for increased
numbers of inspectors and renewed
vigilance on all our borders.
The following goods were in
spected and passed into the countY
during the month of April, 1929,
according to Harrigan's report.
