Man Assists Nature to Destroy
 Peach Moths By Use of Insects
Parasitic Flies Bred in New Haven, Released in State, Destroy Injurious Pest That Cost Farmers Much of Fruit Crop.

New haven. Nov. 24 tPt-A few thousand dollars worth of parasitic flies saved almost s100.OO0 dollars worth of peaches in Connecticut this year.
 This bit of scientific news. issued at the Connecticut Agricultural Ey- perlment station today, forecasts a possible curb to the peach scourge mat has covered much of the United States east Of the Mississippi river the oriental peach moth
 The Connecticut saving was from the ravages of this moth which is responsible for most of the wormy peaches
 The flies arc the latest chapter in the scientific version of setting d thlef 10 catch thief, one of the most effective of al crop projections
 The parasitic fiicr were developed by nature, but mans strategy ar ranged the unusual success of the Connecticut campaign. Two kinds ot flies were used, which, so 10 speak caught the moths both coming and going. One band robbed the moths GEES: the other their young.
 Attack on the eggs was made by chrichogramn9. q fly so small that it IS almost invisible. If bores holes in peach moth eggs and through them inserts it's own eggs. From such eggs no moths at all arc born, but only trichogramma.
 The her 6ipc r1,acroTc,+,.,,c much larger and lay their cggs on the bodies Of the peach moth larvae. This allows the larvae a chance to do damage. but not very much. for presently the cocoon out of which peach moth should emerge sends forth macrocentrus, which like the tiger has the moth inside.
 These two types of parasite flies were sent to 140 Connecticut or rhards which a year ago lost S200.- oh0 from the peach moth. The trichogramma was distributed in the form Of about four million eggs on cards which were hung in peach trees to hatch. About 12 thousand live maCrocentrus flers were ship ped.
 Tests Not Over
 The director of this experiment is Dr. Philip Garman, assistant onto- mologlst. He says he wishes to be pessimistic before offering predic- tons, and to try the flies for one Or two seasons more, just to make certain that nature in some manner unknown to science may not have added some special conditions Of her ouH which partly account for this years success.
