extensive damage done at once, ac
cording to Fruit , Inspector Garrlt
Olderiberg who today finished a care
ful tour of inspection ot the fruit dls
tricts. The warm , weather has ap
parently : been an Incentive for . the
pests, but it spraying is resorted to
within the next two or three days, the
damage will, in a measure, be reliev
ed. The Inspector's urgent advice to
orchardists is to spray right today
if such steps have not been resorted
to within the past three or
four days. . The surprising actlvty of
the pest can he offset . without ma
terial damage to the crops, by spray

The crop prospects are -exceeding
good, the past week bringing out the
results better la the apple orchards.
