GOVERNMENT TO
FIGHT PESTS
'VS'WABHINOTON, De. ' 18.A .
" (taiga against the pear thrips In Call
''" fornia ia to be conducted next spring
in tbs Bantu Clara, San Lcamun, Sac
lamento and Ban Joaquin valleys by
ta bureau of etomology, United Statea
department of agriculture. Four mou
Bare already been tent to California to
be on the scene wben tho troubleiome
little Insect comes out of the ground
and faatens itsolf on the blossoms of the
aprilot, poach, pear and prune treoi.
The work ia to begin in a systematic
campaign of spraying tho troes and
blossoms as soon as the thrips mako its
appearance in the early Bprlng, and thoy
will make experiments to determine the
- best way to attack the insect that is
threatening such damage to the fruit
crop of tho Pacific coast.
The insect derives its name, "pear
thrips,"' bocause it was first noted in
alarming extont on tho blossoms of pear
treoe, but it attacks all tho fruit trees
of California with impartiality, and it
ia doing its worst damage now to tho
cherry and apricot trees, according to
the experts who have been sent to Cal
ifornia to investigate.
Spraying Is Ineffective.
Spraying has been found to be an
ineffective method of attacking the
pest, because it attaches itsolf to the
blossoms of the trees as soon as it
hatches out, and a spray solution strong
enough to kill the inesct usually kills
the blossom.
; ' But, the insect enters the ground dur
ing the last two weeks of March and
apparently stays there the groator part
of the year. It is here that tho scien-
Beta, who hare boon sont to California,
hope to do their best work against tho
pests. It was learned hero today that
additional appropriations of $15,000 will
b asked for at this session of congress
" for the express porposo of fighting the
thrips in California.
The congressmen from Orogon will
also ask for an appropriation of 10,-
000 to be expended in fighting the cod-
ling moth in southeastern Oregon.
