BUG vs. BUG California's Method of Restoring the Balance of Nature Written for THE GAZETTE by E. K. Carnes of the State Board of Horticulture. The term Bug vs. Bug and the work it pertains to originated in California. Our state was the first to practically apply the science of fighting insect pests with their natural insect enemies. The success that has so far been attained by this method has attracted the attention of the entire horticultural world and today the example set by the early workers in this line has been followed by other countries with equal success. The generally accepted idea of this work is that it borders on the magical, is a secret process and cannot be understood by the masses, while in fact it is simply practically applying one of the simplest laws of nature. To illustrate this we have to go back to a time prior to written history, before commerce was opened to all nations of the world. At that time in each country all insect life was in the perfect balance of nature. Each species was held in check by its natural insect enemy. This insect enemy had its insect enemy; each species maintained itself by preying on some other species and itself being preyed upon by still another species. Thus each species was held in check and prevented from becoming too numerous by each other. Yet each species perpetuating itself and not becoming extinct or increasing sufficiently to become a pest. This was according to the original plan of creation. Insect pests are the direct work of man by disrupting this perfect balance of nature. The destructive forms of insect life, especially the forms we have to deal with in this locality (red our growers well know, it continually applied to even control, thereby adding great of production. The parasites we now city were brought from the China and are minute 4-worm almost microscopic. The single egg in the scale-bucket that devours the scalp fly grows to maturity undertecting shell of the scale with its little mandibles, on the shell and escapes. Generation about every year and deposit about 50 eggs are good at figures try offspring from a single pair. They are easily spread taken from grove to grow carrying a few infected plants placing them in an orchard. A few years ago a many trees of this city and county of the state were black scale—and from a start of San Francisco the entire soil cleaned of one of the worst pests at a cost of practical This is a single instance of While the science of with bugs is practically not ready accomplished many few years in the way of resect pests, that for years puzzled the entomological the entire world.

Yet each species perpetuating itself and not becoming extinct or increasing sufficiently to become a pest. This was according to the original plan of creation. Insect pests are the direct work of man by disrupting this perfect balance of nature. The destructive forms of insect life, especially the forms we have to deal with in this locality (red and purple scale), are usually the stationary forms. While in most all cases the beneficial forms are the flying, movable forms. We can trace history back and find that soon after the first botanical expedition returned with plants and trees taken from their native countries and transplanted them in other climes, we began to learn of strange insects becoming extremely numerous and destroying vegetation. This was the first disruption of nature’s balance and it has gone forward year after year, until today, with our wonderful facilities of ocean travel and exchange of commodities with every civilized nation that we rarely find a cargo that does not contain a shipment of trees, plants or shrubbery from some foreign country. The shipper knows they will arrive in good shape and will hardly loose a leaf in transit, so excellent is the present system of handling this class of merchandise. Now we come to the point of insect pests, as before explained the destructive forms of insect life cling securely to the plants and arrive safely, while the simple act of digging the trees or preparing the plants for shipment is sufficient to jar off the beneficial forms. They are left behind and the destructive forms arrive safe and sound with the plants. It is a well established fact that our native insects will not touch any but their natural insect food, and this they have here, consequently the new arrival—if our climatic conditions are suitable to his welfare—commence to thrive and multiply and as none of our native forms attack it, it soon increases to such an extent that in a very short time it is what we call an “Insect Pest.” Our climate is such that an insect can have practically a continuous cycle—no hibernating winter period—but practically can breed the entire year.

The theory of th to assist in preserving th der private ownership. Our climate is such that an insect can have practically a continuous cycle—no hibernating winter period—but practically can breed the entire year. California is also the natural gateway of commerce and these unwelcome foreigners visit us first. Had we solved this problem years ago and enacted the strict horticultural quarantine laws now in force we would not have these insect pests, for both our red and purple scale are introduced species. They have been brought to this state from their home and their natural insect enemy or parasite has been left behind. The State Commission of Horticulture enforces the quarantine laws at every post of entry and the different county commissions guards the state boundary. We must prevent other and far worse pests than we have from entering. The State Commission (through the State Com. Hon. Ellwood Cooper) also has inaugurated the work known as “Bug vs. Bug” which consists of sending an expert to other countries to search out the home of the pests we now have and there we find their natural insect enemies, transports them to this country, breeds, propagates and distributes them into the infested orchards, in a measure is endeavoring to restore the Balance of Nature and relieve our growers of the cost of fumigation, sprays, and other costly and ineffectual means of eradication—for with any artificial remedy ever invented as The area of forests in many times greater area than that owned by government. The theory of this to assist in preserving the private ownership. Movement through the forestry operates with private firm with the end in view of all the people the high nation’s timber supply. The Benefit One would have been born from some of the speedy Western senators when natural appropriation bill was cussion and especially waltion relating to the expensive forestry bureau was when the government set its reserve its use for that at an end. On the contrary derives its greatest profitservations. Under the old timber land was taken and passed into the companies and corporations valuable portions were marketed. That which is burned up and the land productive waste. It shortly understood that age which has been set apart reserves does not includeable for agriculture. The Rocky mountain and Parks there are vast areas rocky land sometimes deed but unfit for agriculture served these lands worn taken by homesteaders careful examination is mine whether the lands utilized for agriculture before apart. But even if someone should desire them they powers well know, it must be considered applied to even partially conservably adding greatly to the cost of production. Parasites we now have in this area brought from the interior of land are minute 4-winged flies— microscopic. They deposit a egg in the scale-bug. This egg only in turn hatches into a minute that devours the scale-bug. The news to maturity under the province shell of the scale and finally, is little mandibles, cuts a hole in shell and escapes. They have a tion about every twenty-days posit about 50 eggs each. If you good at figures try to figure the long from a single pair in a year. They are easily spread and can be from grove to grove by simply growing a few infected branches and for them in an orchard. New years ago a majority of the city and county, as well as the state were black with black and from a start of three flies at San Francisco the entire state has been of one of the worst of scale at a cost of practically nothing. A single instance of many cases. While the science of fighting bugs bugs is practically new, it has allaccomplished many things in a years in the way of relief from insects, that for years and years past and the entomological intellect of entire world. RISTS AND THE RAINFALL Antages Accruing to Arid Rest from Government's Policy of Forest Protection Even after reserved by the government for forestry purposes. Nor is the vast domain which has been taken by the government any the less available for grazing purposes because it is under government direction. Where good crops of grass or herbage is produced the forestry bureau establishes grazing districts and permits cattle or sheepmen to graze the land for a small fee, which goes into the treasury. For the timber land under the rule the government received at most $2.50 an acre, while its actual market value has been from $5 to $100 an acre, and its economic value under forestry is many times the highest figure. When the unreserved public lands is made into a forest reserve, the timber is still available. It is neither withdrawn from the market nor left to rot from age nor to get wiped out by fire. Anybody can buy it; a thousand feet at a time or a million feet. But the timber cannot be cut at the will of the man who buys it. The timber must be wisely cut under directions of the forester. The reserve must be so used that it will continue to produce timber for all time to come. The timber is harvested so that future crops are assured. The lands are kept productive and the county, state and nation get the benefit. It is estimated that in five years the forestry bureau will be self-sustaining and a few years thereafter will turn into the United States treasury a handsome revenue. The new administration's policy means that where private holders receive $50 or $100 an acre for their timber lands adjacent to the public domain, the government will get an equal sum for its timber and will continue to own it for the benefit of future generations. Yet another advantage from forest reservations is the method of utilizing the rains. The controversies between sheepmen and cattle men and the constant bickerings between big cattle men and little ones are avoided. Cattle men everywhere will tell you that the great ranges are being rapidly destroyed. There is no part of the great West where the grass compares with former years. On a forest reserve the range is still accessible under the terms and conditions imposed by the forester. The big cattle man cannot HISTS AND THE RAINFALL Antages Accruing to Arid Rest from Government’s Policy of Forest Protection Ord Pinchot is monarch of a district larger than the German empire Europe, larger than France exclusion her colonies, five times as large as the Empire State of New York and tenes as large as Ohio. When sent Roosevelt on March 1 added 500 acres to this government’s preservation he brought the total to 142,000,000 acres. He knew as body else knew who has kept in with western sentiment that his would be bitterly resented in states of the mountain group. It is an irreconcilable conflict between the baron and the homesteader. The reservations have come to stay the unyielding opposition. The problem remaining is one of adoration. In the opinion of the over the acreage is now larger it will ever be again. The homeowner is free to enter the forest reat any time and under the law permitted to cut all the timber necessary for establishing his home. Finally the acreage will be slightly decreased but the total will not be many decreased. In with the latest reservation by native order the United States has start only about one-fifth as much Russia, whose government forests state 643,000,000 acres. But compared to other countries the United States has a commanding lead. Expenditures per acre in the United States to care for its forests as agreed with expenditures by other states is ridiculously low. All told, than one thousand rangers guard this vast domain. The cost of government per acre for the maintenance of the forestry bureau is none and three-fifths cents. In Europe, Prussia and Switzerland it is one dollar an acre.

The controversies between sheepmen and cattle men and the constant bickerings between big cattle men and little ones are avoided. Cattle men everywhere will tell you that the great ranges are being rapidly destroyed. There is no part of the great West where the grass compares with former years. On a forest reserve the range is still accessible under the terms and conditions imposed by the forester. The big cattle man cannot run over the little fellow on the government reserve, nor is the little chap permitted to harass the baron. The range is regulated, too, and kept at its highest productive capacity. It is precisely the same with the range as with the timber. A forest reserve makes sure of a better and wiser use and a permanent prosperity. Inland Waterways In view of the recent creation of an Inland Waterways Commission and the marvelous promises of the Reclamation Service, the good which will be accomplished through a protection of the sources of water supplies, according to a Washington correspondent, is of as great consequence to the nation as the conservation of the timber supply itself. So long as the vast timber areas were still part of the unreserved public domain they were left to the ravages of fire, to destructive lumbering and grazing. Gradually these vast areas were losing their sponge-like properties by which they became great reservoirs for holding and regulating the water's flow. The rains rushed quickly down the slopes of the denuded mountains, causing floods at one season and assuring protracted droughts in others. In a statement made before the senate agricultural committee it was asserted that the saving by the increase in the life of fence posts, telegraph and telephone poles and railroad ties alone due to the work of the forest service, was worth every year more than the total appropriation asked for the forest service. The saving of forest destruction by the fire is worth infinitely more than the total appropriation. When an application is made for a sale of timber on a forest reservation, an investigation is made by the forest officers. First, there is a careful study on the ground to see whether the proposed cutting will imperil the conservation of the water supply and threaten the safety of the forest. If it is safe to cut, a contract is prepared, showing just how the cutting is to be done. Advertisements are made and the timber is sold to the highest bidder. Then the timber to be cut is marked and the cutting is watched to see that no timber is wasted by high stumps and that the tops are disposed of to pre- The area of forests in private lands may times greater and more valuable than owned by the government. The theory of the governmentist in preserving the forests unprivate ownership. The government through the forestry bureau co-ops with private forest owners at the end in view of obtaining for the people the highest value for nation's timber supply. The Benefit It would have been led to believe some of the speeches made by town senators when the agricultural appropriation bill was under discussion and especially when the secreting to the expenditure for the forestry bureau was reached that the government sets aside a for reserve its use for the public was agreed. On the contrary, the public has its greatest profit from the resources. Under the old policy the land was taken by individuals massed into the control of companies and corporations. The most valuable portions were cut out and stored. That which remained was sold up and the land became an attractive waste. It should be thoroughly understood that the vast acres which has been set apart for forest lives does not include land desirous for agriculture. Throughout the New mountain and Pacific coast there are vast areas of high and low land sometimes densely timbered but unfit for agriculture. If unreal these lands would never be used by homesteaders. The most final examination is made to determine whether the lands could be utilized for agriculture before they are set aside. But even if some homesteader desire them they can be taken sale of timber on a forest reservation, an investigation is made by the forest officers. First, there is a careful study on the ground to see whether the proposed cutting will imperil the conservation of the water supply and threaten the safety of the forest. If it is safe to cut, a contract is prepared, showing just how the cutting is to be done. Advertisements are made and the timber is sold to the highest bidder. Then the timber to be cut is marked and the cutting is watched to see that no timber is wasted by high stumps and that the tops are disposed of to prevent fires. HOW'S THIS?
