Fourteen million egg parasites,
reared in the laboratory at the
Agricultural Experiment Station at
New Haven, will be sent to peach
growers throughout Connecticut
and in Massachusetts this season.
The orders for parasites come
through the state genealogical So
ciety and this year have increased
by about 100000, according to
DIR. Philip Garman, assistant en-
tomologist at the station.
A survey Of peach orchards
shows hiatt the native crop was by
no means completely destroyed by
last winters sub-zero weather. Re-
ports from owners indicate that
there is a heavy set of fruit in
some orchards, a poor crop in
others and practically no peaches
in few.
The parasites are bred and dis
tributed to fight one of the most
virulent foes of the orchardist, the
Oriental peach moth. Imported
from Japan, this pest is largely re-
sponsible for wormy peaches in
Connecticut. 1t has caused heavy
financial losses in past years.
The parasite Trichogramma, now
being sent out in egg form, is a ma
tive of the United States but not of
Connecticut. Along with other
parasites, it has been multiplied in
the laboratory under artificial con-
ditions and induced to deposit its
egg inside the egg of a grain moth.
Many thousand grain moths are
raised on wheat at the station year

ly. About 5000 of their egs are
sifted onto small cardboard disc
covered with shellac. These are ex-
posed for a few days to a large
number of mature Trichograma

The discs are then placed in wax

The use or parasites In peach Or
chards has apparently brought ex-
cellent results. In some cases more
than 900 of the peach moth eggs
have been destroyed, and this, to-
gether with the work of other
parasites, has reduced the infesta-
ton to tolerable limit.
DR.. Garman says that the U. S.
Bureau of Entomology has provid-
ed the station with three foreign
parasites, from Japan, Korea and
Australia, and that these are also
being bred for colonization and
distribution. II successful in dapt-

Garman believes that these will

Is "Tacky" back on the pay
roll of william j. Pape, local
publisher?-or has he been
discharged?
That is the question making
the rounds today following an
alleged huddle between Mr..
Pape and George "Tacky"
Finn, erstwhile city employe
who is supposed to be an in
vestigator, or special "Mr. Sea-
bury" for Mr.. Pape.
At any rate, the story is that
"Tacky' called upon Mr.. Pape
this morning and was in
formed after receiving his sti-
pend, that his services were no
longer required.
"Tacky" resented this action
and is said to have told the
publisher that he was not dis
charged, but his style of lam
guagc in asserting his stand,
was q little less polite.
1t seems that MIR. Pape was
away on vacation and that

not to be fired, he said, be-
cause it he were, he would
really show his true colors to

Now, the question remains
unanswered
Is "Tacky" still employed as

WHERE is 1T COMING FROM?

Director Harry Hopkins of the federal relief ad-
ministraton, conferred yesterday in Washington
with Governor Johnston of South Carolina, and
reiterated his earlier statement that unless this
state put up s2,600,O00 to match federal funds,
the state will be cut off from federal relief.
A Washington dispatch indicates that Johnston
was able to get little satisfaction from his confer
ence with the federal relief administrator, and
about the net result of the talk to have been
Hopkins assertion that 1--WE still looking for
that money" meaning South Cardinals share of
the burden is providing for the needy persons of
this state.
1t looks as if Johnston and the state relief ad-
mnistration face something of a dilemma in the
matter of relief. Just where two and half mil
lions of dollars will come from to match federal
grants is question we seriously doubt if the gov
ernor himself is able to answer. The taxpayers are
carrying about all they stand at this time with
the present budget requirements of the state and
to add an additional burden of two and one-half
millions when Johnston, who has only been in the
governors chair little more than three months,
promised the taxpayers an economical admnistra-
ton, would certainly put something of crimp IN
Johnston's economy plans.-The Anderson, S. c.,
