Maggots in Imported Apples. 



Some larva* sent by a cones}»ondent to the iJoard of Agriculture 

 from Smithtield Market, Manchester, jiroved to be those of theCiMlling 

 Moth {C(irj)<>caj)sa pomoiwUa). 



The coiTCspondent i)ointed out the danger <if constant fresh 

 imj)ort4itious of this jx'st from abroad. Some observations have been 

 privately made which confirm this leport. 



The CWling Moth hivs been distributed to countries wheiv it was 

 formerly imknown in the way clescribed by the corresjxmdent of thr 

 Boanl. If lai-ge numl)ers occur alive, as rec()rded, there is undoubtedly 

 much harm being done, and this may account for the great incix-ase of 

 this apple jHist during recent years, which in some cases during the 

 jKist season has completely ruined the apjde crop. 



As the ]>est is very abundant in America, and probably the 

 unsound ajiples are shipped to the English market, .some stt.*ps sh«»uld 

 be taken, if it proves to be a general rule, to .sjifeguard the apple 

 growers of this country by similar means to those employed in 

 Tasmania. 



Apple barixds have been examined and numbei-s of CiHlling 

 Mi'jfits have been found. Tliese get distributed over the country, 

 and cannot but help increa.se this j)est in our (»rchards. 



The maggot in Lislnm apples may jirove to lie one of the fruit tlies 

 {Ti'ifpitd or ('- /-iifitis).
