DIPLO SIS PYRIVORA. The Pear Gnat Midge some- 

 times does a deal of harm by laying its eggs in numbers 

 in very young pears, which become unequally swollen 

 and drop off the trees while still quite small. The grubs 

 are yellowish-white, and may be looked for at the end 

 of May and in June. The maggots are very lively, and 

 jump about if a fruit containing them is cut open. When 

 they are discovered to be present all infested fruits 

 should be gathered and burned to destroy the maggots. 

 The trees should also be shaken to cause the infested 

 fruit to fall, and all such should be gathered. The 

 application of half a ton of kainit per acre, in late summer, 

 has also been found beneficial in destroying the pupae 

 hi the soil.
