HOW THE PARASITE WORKS, The parasites live by feeding in the soft body of the San Jose scale insect. The larva or maggot reaches its growth and changes to a chrysalis or pupa and a little later transforms to minute wasplike insect, which bores seeks other specimens of the scale in- sects, in each of which it deposits an egg. There are several broods of those parasites per year, and they are so numerous that they clean up the scale, even though the rate of multiplication way be as rapid as has been published in the bulletins of the United States de- partment of agriculture, where it is es. timated that one may become the ane cestor of over three hillions in one seat son. } 1 have not given energy to the tech- parasites, bit shall now say that one is sdelpbis, Pittsburg, Kavsas City and Denver, go that present themselves at this season Learning, ding in and Marshall Academ: my, Lancast larshall Academy, Lancaster ollege, Oberl JKUK, 1 oo 2 of a Most Dreaded Pes rent stale I have said that I would send ens to post m any person sending but this offer mus upon the number as we find that we are lmed with re jues this siatle the right places in immense material will be such and can quanity of be found available obtained easily. WILL NOT BECOME A PES WH There is no pussible danger of thi & parasite becoming a pest, as it is known f se #cale and the Rose Scale, and I believe when it is completely known in every detail it will be found to feed only on the smaller species of scale insects. We are propagating it in our numerous breeding cages and are rearing it by the thousands We are sending the purasit- ized scale on cuttings by mail, and it is reaching its destination in a satisfactory manner. There is no danger that it | will turn its attention to vegetation, as {it is one of the numerous papasites that prey chiefly upon a limited nungger of species or hosts, THIR IMPORTANT DISCOVERY and work mdans that the San Jose scale will not longer have to be fought by the spray pump alone, but that it will, like other inscets, have its periods of de- pletion and periods of increase, and againits suppression by these natural enemies. Why they have been so long | developing no one knows. We have | had about 20 years of San Jose scale | infestation in this state. During the | past twelve years it has certainly been | something appalling. Now the beneficial | effects of the parasites are quite cone | spicuous, and, of course, very gratifying. | Many persons in whose orchards they | have cleaned up ghe scale do not realize | that this is due to the parasites, but if they will examine the old scales with a baud lens they will readily see the come plete perforations of the holes where these parasites have cut their way 6, 1913. .
