SACRAMENTO, July S. Califor nia rrult is threatened with a new nest and the fruit Industry will be come bankrupt and the values of or chards will go down to less than tin' value ot bare land If tho Mediterran ean fruit fly nest once gets establish ed In this state, according to Manager Frank B. McKevltt of the California Fruit Distributors. It is of the greatest Importance. McKevltt declares, for fruit growers to realize that the pest has gradually made Its way toward California un til now It Is within a few days' jour ney of tho coast, well established In thu Island of Oahu, Territory of Hawaii. Most Destructive of Pests. "The Mediterranean fruit fly Is the most destructive of known pests," de clared McKevltt. "It is so dreaded be cause there Is no means of combatting it; no iusect or wash that will de stroy the fly. "The curcullo, coddling moth, dif ferent varieties of scale and philoxcru on grapes are not to ho compared to it In destructlveness. "If the fly Is once established there is only oiknown way of preventing it from ruining fruit and that Is by covering the trees with fine netting so that it cannot touch either frulr or foliage and Meposlt Its eggs. "Compere tells me that he onco sat opposite a gentleman at the dinner table in Australia and noticed that he ordered. some peaches. The fruit was apparently of high class, huge and finely colored. Alive With .Maggots. "A ray or sunlight happened to strike one of the peaches and Com pere saw tho slightest .motion or the skin. He informed tho gentleman that tho peach was alive with mag gotB and an examination proved him correct The maggots had made no impression on the outside of the fruit. As soon as tho peaches were oneneil they began to jump out. doubling themselves Into a circlo and then flipping onto the plate. "It may seem to tho Callfornlnn that there Is little danger of the pest Invading this state. But I draw at tention to the fact that the fly has made is way from the shores of the Mediterranean to Australia and New Zealand and that It has now appear ed In Hawaii, 'piero a rigid quaran tine is being enforced against the In feBted Island. Oahu and $2,000,000 have been appropriated to drive out tho pest. Would Require Ureal Sum "The magnitude of tho Hawaiian fruit crop Is Infinitesimal compared with that of California. But thoy have appropriated $2,000,000 to fight the fly. That may give somo Idea of what u sum would bo required to combat tho pest should It become established In California.
