Combat Fruit Moth California is winning its battle against the oriental fruit moth, seri ous insect enemy of deciduous fruits and fruit trees, especially peach trees, but the fight is far from con cluded and may continue for many years. The moth was introduced into the U. S. on Japanese cherry trees planted in Washington, D. C., In 1910. Two new forces have successfully entered the field against the vora 1 clous insect enemy?millions of par asites produced by the University of California for the state depart ment of agriculture, and new chem , icals and chemical compounds. When new infestations are discov ered, the parasites are rushed to the scene and soon prohibit further spread of the moth. Previous to the work done by Cali fornia officials, it had been believed ' that the moth's spread could not be stopped because of its canny habit of rejecting the first mouthful of fruit I it encountered, the mouthful consist . ing of the part of the fruit covered , with poisoned spray. But now it has | been found that s- me chemicals will give up to 85 per cent control, and the famed DDT. war time insccti L cide, may give 95 per cent control. , Tests made by U. C. have included , 450 chemicals and chemical com pounds. World Of Prayer Day To Be Ob served Tomorrow World Day of Prayer will be observed by the local churches tomorrow.
