Ants Are Protection To Mealy Bug Pest Horticultural Commission Tells How to Eradicate Them Ant control in mealybug infested orchards should be started immediately. Several species of ants feed on the honey dew exuded from the mealybug, certain scale pests, and aphids. These ants object to any decrease in their food supply and therefore they protect these pests from the inroads of the predators. Thus we often find severe infestations of mealybug, black scale, soft brown scale, cotty cushion scale and aphis on individual trees or in sections where ants are abundant. Most of these infestations would be reduced by natural enemies if the ants were exterminated, but are very difficult to control as long as the ants are numerous. The most abundant species of ant in our mealybug area is the Argentine ant, which is satisfactorily controlled by placing syrup containing a weak arsenical poison in small containers hung on the trunk of each tree. This syrup will also kill the species known as fire ants, although these ants frequently imbibe too freely and never get out of the container to take poison to the queen as do the workers of the Argentine ant. The Formica species, of which in this district the large gray ant is the most important, are not usually satisfactorily controlled by this method of poisoning, and in certain instances banding the trunks of the trees with tanglefoot has been resorted to as a means of protecting the lady-bird beetles from these species. The cups must be watched throughout the season to make sure that a supply of syrup is at all times before the ant. Some difficulty is encountered at times in getting the ants to feed on the syrup if they already have an abundant supply of natural food. For this reason much patience is required and every opportunity should be taken to have the material present at such times as the natural food supply runs. Negro Labor for California Farms Twenty thousand negroes from the southern states are ready to take a train for California and work in the state's orchards and fields at $1 a day, in the event the Box or Harris bills excluding Mexican labor are enacted into law by the present congress. Word to this effect has just come to the agricultural labor bureau of the San Joaquin valley, a co-operative labor exchange maintained at Fresno at the expense of the valley grape, fruit and cotton growers as partial insurance against labor shortage at times of harvest peak. According to F. J. Palomares, manager of the labor bureau, an Alabama labor contractor has written to that bureau, saying that he was conversant with the farm labor situation in California as it might be affected by the passage of a Mexican exclusion law, and stood ready to ship 20,000 blacks immediately. "They are receiving now $1 a day with board, and would be very glad to come west on those terms whenever needed," the labor contractor added. The Alabama labor contractor's offer indicates how soon after the passage of the Box or Harris bills southern negroes will commence flooding into California, bringing with them social problems admittedly more grave than those created by the presence of Mexicans. "This condition, which is well known among California agriculturists, refutes the contention that farmers are looking solely for cheap labor," stated A. M. Stanley, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, in commenting on the above report. "The farmers hope to maintain a dependable, fluid source of labor supply. To this end over a ton and a half of protest against the Box bill has been sent to congress."

Tests were made value of fish oil, spreader and fish oil for the lead arsenate this experiment showed no advantage in using substances as stickies that when lead arsenic plied to the nuts threw weathering off of the summer. The cured that the fish oil so spreader than the caulking use of fish oil so applied to different made immediately after showed that there was as much poison on it as those that were giving a more uproar over the tree, while a more condensed amount to the outer surface resulting in a greater being deposited on it. The discovery was young worms while husk have a habitat their burrows during main outside until foreonoe especially cloudy. Attempts were made and in certain instances banding the trunks of the trees with tanglefoot has been resorted to as a means of protecting the lady-bird beetles from these species. The cups must be watched throughout the season to make sure that a supply of syrup is at all times before the ant. Some difficulty is encountered at times in getting the ants to feed on the syrup if they already have an abundant supply of natural food. For this reason much patience is required and every opportunity should be taken to have the material present at such times as the natural food supply runs short, notably immediately after spraying or fumigating, or when the mealybug or aphis is at a low ebb. Caution should be taken to place the ant cups on the trunk in such a position that if the material should drip, it will not hit the bark of the tree, as the arsenical poison will kill the bark and cause gumming. Poisoned syrup mixed according to the government formula for Argentine ants, and containers and brackets for attaching to trees, may be obtained from the packing houses, the feed and seed stores, or from the county yards, in one gallon or five-gallon lots. To summarize, the control of ants is the first essential in preparing a grove for mealybug control. A continuous supply of clean, attractive material must be kept before the ants at all times. If this form of treatment is patiently adhered to, the ants will eventually be decreased and, in some instances, can practically eradicated. In the control of mealybug by means of Cryptolaemus, the co-operation of growers in controlling the ants on their premises is of the greatest importance since Cryptolaemus liberated in heavy ant infestations are doomed to give less satisfactory results. Walnut Growers Meet At Chino Saturday The tenth annual Walnut Growers' Institute will be held at Chino on Saturday, February 25, in the auditorium of the high school.

Mother finds time for more occupations than JERSEY SETS RECORD Another state record has been broken by a cow in the herd of the University of California at Davis, according to Prof. W. M. Regan of the animal husbandry division of the college of agriculture here. The Jersey heifer, California Napoleon's Abble 630328, which was started on test when she was two years and seven months of age, has completed a Class AAA record, producing 648.47 pounds of butterfat and 10.258 pounds of milk in the 305 days. Her milk averaged 6.32 per cent fat, and for three successive months of the test her production was over 70 pounds of fat per month. She has won both gold and silver medals in addition to the state championship in the senior two-year-old class.

Electricity is CHEAP, Use more of it SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves New Developments In Control of Pest Walnut Institute Discusses the Destructive Codling Moth At the walnut growers' school, held in Tustin on January 21, Dr. Ralph H. Smith, of the citrus experiment station, described some of the experiments conducted last year in the control of codling moth, both on walnuts and apples. Tests were made to determine the value of fish oil, linseed oil, casein spreader and fish oil soap as adhesives for the lead arsenate. The results of this experiment showed that there was no advantage in using any of these substances as stickers, for the reason that when lead arsenate alone is applied to the nuts there is very little weathering off of the poison during the summer. The experiments showed that the fish oil soap was a better spreader than the casein spreader. The use of fish oil soap is not recommended, however, because there is a possibility that it might result in injury to the nuts and leaves because of it breaking down the lead arsenate. Further tests will be made to determine this question with certainty. Experiments were made to determine the amount of lead arsenate deposited on the nuts by spraying and by dusting. From 25 to 10 gallons of spray were applied to different trees. Analyses made immediately after the applications showed that there was about one-third as much poison on the dusted nuts as those that were sprayed. The dusting gave a more uniform distribution over the tree, while the spraying gave a more condensed application of spray to the outer surface of the tree, thereby resulting in a greater amount of poison being deposited on the nuts. The discovery was made that the young worms while burrowing in the husk have a habit of coming out of their burrows during the night and remain outside until the middle of the forenoon, especially if the morning is cloudy. Attempts were made to kill these worms with pesticide paper coated with tar with burlap posted on the tar surface. The last type of band collected the largest number of worms. The three folds of burlap caught the second largest number. The tar felt ranked close to the burlap. The burlan-lined paper which is tar coated costs about 2 cents per yard when cut into strips five inches wide. This land is more easily cleaned than the folded burlap because the larvae are all on one surface. Poultry Outlook Getting Brighter The United States Bureau of Agricultural Economics has just released the agricultural outlook for 1928. According to W. M. Cory, assistant county county adviser, Southern California poultrymen can get some comfort out of this report. The bureau reports that the egg outlook is more favorable to producers than it was a year ago. Storage holdings of shell eggs on January 1 was 534,000 cases below the five-year average for that date. On other hand, frozen eggs were 18,900,000 pounds above the five-year average. The storage season just past was a profitable one and a keen demand for storage eggs is predicted for this spring. Due to the storage of high class eggs in the spring to be sold in the fall, the winter price of fresh eggs has been downward since the World war, and the spread between winter and spring prices is becoming narrower. This is a changing condition that poultrymen must take into account in their future calculations. If by co-operation with country producers are able to maintain a fair price for eggs during the spring storage season, they should be able to better than they did last year, in spite of high feed prices. There is nothing in the report that should tempt any over expansion in the poultry industry, but it does offer some encouragement to the man who is already in the business. PENNSYLVANIA PICNIC All who ever lived in the Keystone state are invited to a great picnic all day. California Roads Must Be Widened Increase in Traffic Will Make Wider Highways Necessary Prediction that traffic upon California's state highway system will more than double in the next 15 years has aroused considerable comment throughout the state. The forecast was made by T. H. Demise, acting maintenance engineer of the California Division of Highways. Approximately 90 per cent of the present rights-of-way do not exceed 60 feet in width, and the suggestion is made that set back lines be established either by deeds or legislative action to prevent the usurpation of highway frontage by refreshment stands and similar businesses. That a heavy travel increase may be anticipated is shown by the increase in registration of automobiles in the state. In 1909, when the first highway legislation was enacted, California had 28,633 motor vehicles. In 1927 there were registered approximately 1,700,000 vehicles, or an increase of nearly 6000 per cent for the 16 years' period. It is pointed out by some engineers that traffic is not altogether dependent upon the width of the highway or right-of-way. Wide roads are not needed if provision is made for separating the line of traffic at street and highway intersections. The most intensively used highway in California does not carry a total daily travel excess of 30,000 vehicles, whereas a two-track highway without obstruction has a capacity of 96,000 cars a day. Two radical changes must be made in street and highway practice in California if highways are to continue to serve the transportation requirements of this rapidly growing state. First, business encroachment upon highways must be prevented, and second, the grades at intersecting highways and streets and railways must be separated. All a girl has to do to get a reputation as a beauty is to shoot her sweet-eyed face with a wand or brush. showed that there was about one-third as much poison on the dusted nuts as on those that were sprayed. The dusting gave a more uniform distribution over the tree, while the spraying gave a more condensed application of spray to the outer surface of the tree, thereby resulting in a greater amount of poison being deposited on the nuts. The discovery was made that the young worms while burrowing in the husk have a habit of coming out of their burrows during the night and remain outside until the middle of the forenoon, especially if the morning is cloudy. Attempts were made to kill these worms by spraying with nicotine early in the morning. The results obtained were sufficiently promising that extensive tests will be made of the new treatment this year. Experiments with light traps were made in an apple orchard where codling moths were abundant. One evening 32 moths were observed flying between the trees, but none paid any attention to the light. One moth flow directly over the light without showing any sign of recognizing the presence of the light. In another tree powerful electric lights were placed as possible repellants, but the apples were as wormy on the lighted tree as on the trees where no lights were used. Thus, it was further demonstrated that lights are of no value in codling moth control. Experiments also were made with different banding materials, including ordinary 10-ounce burlap folded to three thicknesses, tar felt paper, and a burlap-lined paper consisting of wrapping calculations. If by co-operation with countrys producers are able to maintain fair price for eggs during the spring storage season, they should be able to better than they did last year, in spite of high feed prices. There is nothing in the report that should tempt any over expansion in the poultry industry, but it does offer encouragement to the man who is already in the business.
