Rasmussen tells that two cherry
fruit fly emergence cages in the
Cherry Hill Orchard east of Saiera
are now out. There are also cages
in other orchards in the Willamette
Valley and aH of these are being
watched closely by the entomology
department at Oregon State Col
lege to determine the official spray
time for the fly control.
Until the flies hive emergd
from the soil, it is too early to
spray. As soon' as they emerge,
the spray notices will be mailed
out, given over radio stations and
in the newspapers, in hopes that
every owner of a cherry tree will
be reached. The law requires that
all cherry tree owners, whether
in ' commercial orchards or in
home gardens, spray for the fruit
fly.

Whichever class you are in, have
at hand the proper dust or spray
and be ready to apply as soon as
the notices are issued.
Recommended spray and dust

growers in a few days. If anyone

well as a few other spots ia 'the
muamette valley.
Actually the cause of the disor
der is the larva of an Insect rather
than a disease.
Limberneck is the common name
for the injury caused by the larva
of the raspberry cane maggot,
since the upper part of the new
canes droop over after the larva
start working. At the point where
the cane bends, a bluish ring can
generally be seen where the mag
got girdles the cane.
It has been observed that the
death of the cane above the girdle
is necessary for the survival of
the maggot. If the cane survives,
the maggot is usually killed due
to the rapid growth of the cane,
which crushes the maggot.
The adult dies emerge during
late April and lav their tmnii
white eggs in grooves or protected
places on the tips of the young
canes. The eggs hatch in about
four days. The young larva bur
row down the center of the young
shoots for a short distance, then
tunnel outward and girdle the cane.
r rom here they continue on down
the path of the cane to near the
ground level where the maggots
transform and remain until the
following spring.
Very seldom do the flies attack
all the new canes of any one
crown.
No insecticidal control measures
have been worked out for this pest.
It is suggested that infested canes
be cut off at the ground level as
soon as noted, and burned im
mediately. tings. If this rule is followed.
Rudd says clippings should be left
on the lawn. They will form a
mulch which helps prevent evap
oration from the soil and adds
beneficial organic matter to the
turf.
Proper mowing saves water, fer
tilizer, weed spray, and is one of
the most important lawn mainten
ance practices.
