LADY-BUG SWARMS RELEASED TODAY County Horticultural Commissioner Morris and Deputies Sloop and Collins today released in the vicinity of 400 cryptomemus or lady-bugs from the state insectory at Whittier. The lady-bug operates on the citre-phillus mealy-bug which has been observed on six or seven ranches in this district. There have been five libations of lady-bugs. This breed of lady-bug is especially destructive it allowed to increase. The work is made much easier on these ranches because of the absence of the argentine ant which feeds on the honey dew created by the mealy-bug. Were they present it would be necessary to destroy them first before liberating the lady-bugs as the ants don't like anyone who interferes with their food supply and would scrap with the lady-bugs. Liberations of the aphycis, parasitic enemy of the black scale, continue in Orange county under the direction of the pest control bureau of the Fruit Exchange. It is still too early to determine whether they are going to wipe up with the black to the extent that fumigation is dispensed with.
