THE FRUIT PESTS

VALUABLE INFORMATION.

Oenaral Farm Information.
I Profesior C. V. Piper, of tha Pull-
man, Wain., expeirmental station, hat
I just issued Bulletin No. 17, treating of
insect pesti oi tne garoeu, larm ana or-
chard. , ThU I a vital ubject and de
server extreme watchfulness on the

iayi
of horticulturists. The Bulletin
That nearly all onr common de
structive insect have been introduced
from other itutes, and that such of
them a are nutive are for the most
part the same or closely related specie
to those that have loug been itudied
and com bu ted in other states.
Tbe term injurioni ni applied to In
sects is a relative oue. Those insect
are commonly culled injurious that dam
age plants, animal or stored product
useful to man. On the other hand,
those Insects that tend to destroy weed
or noxious animal are indirectly bene-
flea 1. Among the most useful of in
sects are the ladybngs. Both In the
i adult and larval ituges, ladybugi de
troy a great number of plant lice,
young scale insects and other soft-
t bodied form. Scaorely less efficacious
is the golden-eye, or luce-wing fly, a
'beautiful pale green insect, that de
stroys plant lice. Several disease
caused by low fungus plants also do
stroy many Insects, especially in wet
seasons. While beneficial insect and
diseases do much to keep down the num
ber of thejests, yet they are not equal
to the task set before them. : Hence tbe
necessity and value of insecticide

At the recent meeting in Walla
Walla of the Northestern Fruit Grow
ers' Association, 0. A. Tonneson, sec
retary of the State Board of Horticul
ture of Washington, read , an import
ant paper in which be said:
"To be a successful fruitgrower,
spraying and other mean of prevent
ing tbe attacks of fruit pests must be
employed from the stage of first plant
ing the trees. More than tbii, the
work must be began in tbe nursery.
With the great possibility before the
fruit growers of tbe Pacific Northwest,
we cannot be too particular aoont
introduction of
: '- v-, . irunnu u, u.
tcrial in connection therewith from all
outside sections.
"In each of the states of Oregon,
Washington aud Idaho aud the prov
ince of British Columbia, both infected
nursery trees and frnit have been con-
domned and destroyed under tho direo
j tion of the boards of horticulture.
During this dormant season many
! negligent orchnrdists hare been served
I by official notice to spray or disenfect
infested trees within a certain limit
I of time. In one oouuty of the state
'of Washington 130 notices have been
servea, requiring orensrus to do
sprayed before Juuunry 1, 1890.
Clean and thrifty trees can be pur
chased at as low rates as those infested
with any fruit pests. Tbe cost of labor
and material necessary to keep a clean
ly started orchard free from the attack
of these serious enemies is a very nom
inal part of the expense of fruit rais
ing. As fruit growers, we must make
it a part of our duty to buy only those
plants and trees which bear sufficient
guarantee by official inspectors after
being fumigated that they are free
from serious pests or plant diseases.
We must make the work of spraying
a regular part of orchard cnltivation
aud obey rules and regulation of our
boards of horticulture refusing to let
any fruit boxes or packages once used
for fruit to come on our premises un
less the same has been thoroughly dis
infected, and we must make it onr
duty to notify any fruit post inspector
or his deputy of any violations of tha
law or of established rules and regu
lations whioh may come within our
notice.
"An orohardist in the western "part
of Washington ha reported to the
board of horticulture that on a single
Northern Spy apple tree was produced
twenty-five bushels of apple that sold
readily at f 1 per box as a -result of
using the Bordeaux mixture a di
rected for the scab.
Summarized, the difference in the
value of spraying and . not spraying ia
about as follows: Average oost of
oombating insect posts, including
Boale, aphis, condlin moth or scab, at
130 per tree, or eighty tree per acre,
9.60. Increased valne of average
frnit crop protected from onudlin moth,
scale or scab, $1 per tree or $80 per
acre, a net increase of 88 per cent
We can't afford not to spray, but we
must be at work now, applying the
lime, sulphur and salt solution as
thoroughly compounded, as hot and
rapidly as opportunities will permit
and l bilo purchasing our pump we
ahall be prepared for codlin moth
and scab in the spring when the work
must continue. We are watching
with great interest the work accom
plished by our ladybird. They are
destroiyng many of onr injurious in
sects, but as yet are not multiplying
rapiydly enough for dependence upon
them. The black Australian bug are
reported to have cleaned manv or-
chard from
the black scale, hnt ihnv
do not work
auniclently on the San
jose scaie to exterminate it Investiga
tions are being made to discover some
natural enemy which shall prove ade
quate for the destruction of this scale,
but until found, it is advisable for us
to continue with
PrJinR- tbem vigorously.
