THOSE NEW AUSTRALIAN BUGS.
They Appear to Be Sadly Ne
glecting Their Duty.
An Inspection of Their Colonies Yes
terday by Fruit Growers.
Molt of Mr, Kobele'H Importation* In a
State of De»uetu<l«— The Report
on the Situation by Visiting
Fruit Growers.
The people interested in bugs, and
especially Australian Dugs, gathered in
great force yesterday morning at the
court house, in the office of County Hor
ticultural Commissioner Scott. About
10:30 o'clock about 00 horticulturists
from Los Angeles, San Bernardino and
Orange counties were there, all busily
engaged in exchanging views upon the
utility of the little beetles which Mr.
Koebele has imported from Australia to
down the red and black scale, the now
threatening pesm of the orchardists.
The occasion of the assemblage was an
invitation sent by Mr. Scott, at the re
quest of various horticultural commis
sions, to fruit growers to come to this
city September 23d, ana to make a care
ful and critical tour of observation and
investigation of the orchards in which
the new paraßitea have been placed.
Variouß orchardists in the city had
placed vehicles'at, the disposal of the
visitors and they finally whirled away
to the scene of operations in the south
western part of the city, a long proces
sion of men, and one lady, very much
in earnest, to see what the bugs were
doing, and especially the little steel
coloredorcus chalybeus, which devours
the red scale.
THE ORCUB CHALYBEUS.
The first place vißited was that of Al
bert Kercheval, on Lemon street. Hie
orchard has been badly infected by the
red scale. The colonization in his place
was upon a large lemon tree. Relays of
the red scale parasite, the orcus chaly
beus were placid on the tree, some in
January, some in February and the last
in March ; in all about 450. The fruit
growers gathered about this tree, and
were soon busily inspecting the varioua
stages of growth of the ladybird. While
no egga were seen, all the other Btages
of ita growth were illustrated. Tbe bugs
were seen on the leaves of the tree, but
not in the quantities which had been
expected. Mr. Kercheval stated that
up to the present time the bugs had not
accomplished much.
They had not propagated rapidly, and
he could not see that ttiey had done
very much towards annihilating the red
scale. It was stated by some gentlemen
present, who saw the tree last year that
it waa in very much better condition
this year. To this Mr. Kercheval said
that all his trees are in better condition
this year, and that, he attributes the
fact to having worked with them.
While the bugs were not propagating
as rapidly as wished, some of the gen
tlemen present thought that they have
not had a fair show. They claimed that
when brought over from Australia they
did not arrive iv good condition, and
that none of the additional lots bave
been in good condition when turned
loose. It could very readily be seen
that there was considerable feeling be
tween some of the members of the party,
and that several gentlemen wanted to
have the beetles, or ladybirds, to be
more polite to tbe little steel-blue beau
ties, to have a better chance to show
their mettle. It was eaid by these gen
tlemen that the conditions have not yet
been favorable for them, and that it was
some 10 months before the vedalia
wrought much execution upon the
white Icale.
The greater number of the orchardists
seemed to be disappointed In the results
at Mr. Keicheval's. Very few bugs
could be found on other trees iv the vi
cinity of the lemon tee, and, be the
reason what Jt may, they have not prop
agated rapidly up to tbe present time.
LEIS CONFORMIS.
From Mr. Kercheval's place the party
was driven to the large orchard of
Samuel MeKinley, on Wilmington ave
nue, to allow the visitors to see where
a colony of leis conformis had been
placed to propagate and get away with
the woolly aphis on the apple trees.
After a close inspection none could be
found of the colony planted there. All
had disappeared. Almost a similar
state of affaiis was witnessed at the or
chard of William Niles, on Washington
street, where scarcely any traces could
be found oi about 540 of the red scale
parasites which had been turned loose
there to multiply last May.
Here the fruit growers organized
themselves into a meeting. Dr. W.
Ormiston, of Azusa, was elected chair
man, and H. W. Krukeberg secretary.
A committee, consisting of Col. J. R.
Dobbins, Dr. N. 11. Claflin, Prof. Cc
quillett, John Burr and Samuel Me-
Kinley was appointed to prepare a
report to be submitted to the meeting.
Mr. Dobbinß had been obliged to leave
the party before the meeting was held,
and did not participate in it. After a
session by the committee under a hay
stack, they reported, and their report
was unanimously adopted. The meet
ing and the party.then adjourned to the
city. The following ia the report:
FRUIT GROWERS' REPORT,
Tbe fruit growers, representing tbe
counties of Lob Angeles, Orange and
■ Ban Bernardino, in convention assem
bled for tbe purpose of making a careful
investigation of the present outlook and
future possibilities of the predacious
insec:s that have been cent over by Mr.
Albert Koebele, from Australia, through
the efforts of the department of agricul
ture, at Washington, and the California
state government beg leave to submit
the following report:
That we not only commend, but
warmly indorse, the efforts of the state
board of horticulture in its endeavor to
introduce beneficial insects to prey upon
all noxious insect life at present infest
ing our orchards and gardens; and that
we appreciate and shall help every
legitimate effort to colonize* parasitic
insecta to prey upon those at present so
injurious to our treea and their products.
Nevertheless, we deprecate the* circula
tion of the glowing accounts that have
been sent abroad by the state board
touching these ladybirds, as being pre
mature and injurious to horticulture,
inasmuch as they are at variance with
the facts and deceptive to the fruit
growers. Information from official
Bources, in order to be valuable, should
be reliable and based upon scientific
research.
That, on September 23,1892, we made
a careful examination of three of the
orchards in which bave been placed for
a period of five to 10 months colonies of
the new Australian ladybirds (orcus
LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1892.
chalyheuß, orcus australasia- and Leis
Conformis) said to be effective parasites
of the red scale (aspidiotue auranti)
the black scale (lecanium olae) snd of
tbe woolly, aphis of the apple. The first
orchard visited was that of Mr. Albert
F. Kercheval, on Lemon street, near
Los Angeleß. This is one of the oldest
orchards iv Los Argeles county, and is
infested with the red scale. In this or
chard has been placed a grand total of
442 of tbe steel-blue ladybirds (O.
chalybeus) said to be effective parasites
of the red ecale, in different colouies
during a period of about five to 10
months. The trees (orange and lemon)
upon which they were liberated, con
tain an abundant supply of food in the
way of red scale, were well protected
from winds, and afforded every condi
tion calculated to favor the parasite and
their multiplying. A painstaking en
deavor to find evidence of the ladybirds
being established resulted in finding
larva:, pupa;, beetles, and their eggs,
but only iv comparatively small num
ber. A survey of surrounding trees
failed to reveal any evidence to prove
that the parasites in tbe beetle state
had spread to any extent. To all in
tents the parasites have' made no appre
ciable inroads on tbe scale; riot even on
the two trees on which colonies have
been liberated. Mr. rCercheval, who
hue watched the O. chalybeus Very care
fully, gives it as It is opinion that they
have made no "showing" on the red
scale siuce their advent in hia orchard."
The second orchard visited wan thatof
Samuel MeKinley, on Wilmington
avenue. In this orchard were placed,
on May 14, 1892, a colony of 170 of L.
conformica, a ladybird said to be effec
tive in eating the wooley aphis of the
apple. The apple orchard of Mr. Me-
Kinley is well protected from winds, and
some of the trees (especially tbe one
upon which the ladybirds were liber
ated) were well supplied with aphis for
focd. Neverthelets, the net result here
was just about nil. A search of many
trees failed to show up a Bingle speci
men larva.-, pupa or beetle, and none of
the egga. The third grove visited was
that of Mr. William Niles on Washing
ton Btreet. This is also an old orchard,
badly infected with red and black scale,
which has not been sprayed or fumi
gated for the paEt six years. Iv this
grove Prof. Coquill et |liberated a colony
of 540 O. chaiybeus on the 14th day of
May. The evidence of their being
"established" in this orchard ia dis
couraging in the extreme. Out of the
entire 540 scarcely any )arvu\ pupue or
bettlea were to be found, while batches
of eggs were equally scarce; still, larvse,
pupte, eggs and beetles were discovered.
The examination here was very thor
ough. Some of the growers climed into
the tops of the trees on which the para
sites had been liberated to make critical
and minute observations, but without
any encouraging results. A careful in
spection of surrounding trees failed to
reveal the presence of the ladybirds in
any stage of development.
According to Piof. Koebele's state
ment, these parasites bave but
three generations each year, and that
each female, after making a deposit of
about 250 eggs, which, if all hatched,
would produce that number of perfect
insects. Allowing that tbe lady birds
in transit were more or less injured, and
that many of them had already de
posited their eggs before being shipped,
"now there surely ought to be a sufficient
number of healthy insects to bave bred
and multiplied by this time in sufficient
numbers to establish colonies in our
orchards and proved their capacity to
eat the scale. Unless they multiplied
rapidly , aince (if Mr. Koebele is correct)
they have but two generations a year,
and the scale four and five, it is at once
obvious that they never will be as eff
ective on the red and black scale as the
vedalia on the white. If only 25 per
cent ot the grand total of purKsitea that
have been received had paired and each
female had produced 250 eggs, and 75
per cent of these had hatched and bred
again, we should now have had sufficient
to have made some progress in deter
mining their value and their capacity to
clean cur trees of the red and black
scale,. As it is, they have not shown
either tne capacity to breed or to eat
the scale that the twice stabbed ladybird
(ehilocoruß bivulnerus) has shown.
That in view of the above facts (which
anyone can verify for himself) we can
not hold out mucli encouragement to
the fruit growers so far as these preda
cious insects are concerned. Though
not pronouncing them a failure, we can
not ou the other hand pronounce them,
as "effective on red and black scales as
the vedalia on white." We suggest
that they be given every care and atten
tion in the orchards where they have
been placed in the hopes tbat they will
yet become established in the broad
sense, i. c., as effective parasites. Mr.
Koebele says it will require four and
possibly five yearß until they multiply
in sufficient numbers to not only stock
all the orchards of Southern California,
but free them of the red and black
scale. He estimates that by next April
or May there will be sufficient to colo
nize many orchards. Let us hope he is
correct in his statements, but we fear
tbat hope is vain. In the meantime we
advise that the fight against injurious
insects by artificial means be continued
with vigor; anil particularly do we en
dorse the movement by which the coun
ties shall make a uniform and general
cleansing of all infected trees by fumi
gation at cost to the growers. We en
treat all owners of scale infected trees to
support a united and general warfare
against injurious insects all along the
line. Dr. N. H. Claflin,

Notes and Gossip.
Mr. James Campbell left for San Fran

ing Btatement, which will be found of
interest:
Editors Herald : In your issue of
Thursday you make mention of my
name in connection with tbe construc
tion of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake
railroad. lam sorry that the Herald
did not quite place it before the people
just as it is. It is true that I ask for an
organization of reliable citizens who
will subscribe to 2000 shares of the capi
tal stock, of wich 10 per cent is to be
paid into the treasury, I being one of
the subscribers. From these subscribers
the ouicers of the corporation will be
elected, and I propose that, after
the certificate of incorpotation is
received from the secretary of state,
that tbrough trains will be run
from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles in 10
months, and that I will arrange to ne
gotiate our securities, sufficient for the
full completion of the road.
baggagemen's extra hours.
The case of Armstrong vs.the Southern
California Railroad company, which was
heard by Justice Austin on Thursday, is
of interest to railroad men. This was a
test suit to determine the liability of a
railroad company to pay over hours of
service where no contract existed, fixing
the limitation of a day's work. After
trial, the attorney for the plaintiff be
came satisfied that extra hours were not
chargeable against the company, and
the action was dismissed on that ground.
The evidence was to the effect
that in the case of baggagemen, the
service of the employe terminates only
after the arrival of the last train, no
matter whether it is late. No pay for
extra hours ia allowed, on the theory
that the work is tbe same if the train
is late or on time, and that if the train
is late, the intervening time is at the
disposal of the employe.
CHANGE OF TIME.
The Southern California company an
nounces a change of time, to go into ef
fect Monday morning at 6 o'clock, as
follows:
On and after Monday, September 26,
1892, the following passenger trains will
be discontinued : Leaving Los Angeles

STUDY THIS WITH CAKE.
SOME VALUABLE POINTERS AS TO
HOW TO VOTE.
The Peculiarities of the New System of
Voting—Simple Rales Which May
Reep You From Losing
Your Vote.
The following facts should be carefully
studied by intending voters:
The ballots are hereafter to be fur
nished by the state for state officers, and
by the city for local officers. These bal
lots are to be different in color. No
ticket can be voted but those officially
issued.
On these ballots the names of the can
didates of all parties are printed. A vote
is cast by putting a cross after the name
of the candidate with a small rubber
stamp Bupplied for this purpose, and
found in the booth. You must not use
a lead pencil in making the X, which
means a vote, or your ballot is not
cjunted.
The ballot you obtain from the ballot
clerk is torn from a book, and a number
is printed on it which the clerk marks
opposite your name on the register, so
that when your ballot is handed to the
inspector the number is compared be
fore depositing the same in the box to
see thas it corresponds to the one
handed you upon entering. There iB a
blank space in the ca?e of every office,
which the voter may fill with the name
of any candidate he chooses, but in the
small square opposite the name you
write in, use the rubber stamp to make
X, not pencil or pen. Of course the
name added must be written with one
or the other.
There is liable to be a misunderstand
ing in regard to scratching and voting
straight. When you cross any straight
ticket, you have voted for all the candi
dates you are entitled to vote for, so
should you put in a cross opposite a
name, you would lose your vote. But
there may be constitutional amend
ments, or any other question that could
not be included in the straight vote.
The cross in this case is put opposite
whichever you wish to vote for.
Take note of the following things, or
your vote will not be counted :
Don't use a lead pencil to make the
cross opposite the name you want to
vote for. (Use rubber stamp placed in
the booth.)
Don't vote two names for any one
office.
Don't put the cross opposite Republi
can name if you mean Democratic, or
vice versa.
Don't vote more names than you are
entitled to.
Don't forget, if you spoil a ballot you
can get a new one by returning the "one
spoiled to the ballot clerk. Three bal
lots are allowed in case of spoiling, but
only ten minutes allowed you in the
booth to vote.
Don't tear off the perforated part of
your ticket yourself; the inspection
clerk does that.
Don't put tbe X anywhere except in
the (□) small space at the right of each
name you mean to vote for; it follows
each party name, as
John Smith Democrat X
John Smith Republican |
In this case the Democrat was voted
for.
Remembr, an X (with the rubber
stamp) means a vote.
