fruit sections since its introduction. The 

 codling moth bores into the fruit of ap- 

 ple and peach, while the sweet potato 

 borer is endangering the sweet potato in- 

 dustry of the south. Were we to take the 

 time to consider them here, we could find 

 many other examples of equal impor- 

 tance. 



With the increase of commercial inter- 

 course between the United States and 

 other countries, the dangers of introduc- 

 ing undesirable pests increase. The West 

 India 'peach scale was imported into 

 Georgia £^id is a serious pest. It is 

 coming w^st and will soon be in Texas. 

 The woolly aphis is well distributed in 

 this country and we have it recorded from 

 one locality in Texas. Are we going to 

 check it? The codling moth is shipped 

 into Texas from other states in apples. 

 It is easy to see live purple scale on our 

 lemons and oranges in the show windows 

 and on the sidewalk displays in our cities. 

 If we want to grow citrus fruits we must 

 check these pests. 



The Morelos orange maggot, so far as 

 we have been able to ascertain, has not 

 been in our borders. The pest is serious 

 in Mexico. We are forgetting that we 

 have state boundaries that must be close- 

 ly observed. We may say, perhaps, that 

 the Morelos orange maggot is only an 

 orange pest. Another closely related in- 

 jurious insect has the habit of working 

 in the fruit of the peach in certain sec- 

 tions of Mexico in the same manner as 

 the codling moth in apple and peach and 

 the Morelos maggot in oranges. How 

 soon will we enable it to be introduced 

 into the peach orchards of Texas? 



In Australia they have the apple root 

 borer, the apple fruit beetle, the harle- 

 quin fruit bug, and the cherry borer. 

 What protection have we against the in- 

 troduction of these pests? The coast 

 states have no control of shipments be- 

 yond their own boundaries. 



A number of years ago the peach crop 

 of Bermuda was almost destroyed every 

 year by the Bermuda peach worm. It is 

 already widely distributed, and it is sur- 

 prising that we have not met it in Texas. 



In Japan they have the apple fruit 

 borer, also the pear fruit borer. We 

 could mention many other examples. The 

 question is, do we know the insects when 

 we see them on a consignment of nur- 

 sery stock? Unless we are able to detect 

 and recognize them our nursery inspec- 

 tion work is defective. 



Let us consider the problem before^ us. 

 The San Jose scale was introduced into 

 California about 1873 and was not dis- 

 covered until it had become a serious

pest. In 1893 it was discovered in the 

 east. It was at Charlottesville, Va., where 

 it had been introduced from nurseries in 

 New Jersey. Subsequent investigations 

 showed that it had been shipped to New 

 Jersey as early as 1886 or 1887 in a con- 

 signment of Kelsey plums from the San 

 Jose region of California. All these years, 

 from 1886 or 1887 to 1893, these New 

 Jersey nurseries had been selling and 

 shipping stock to other parts of the 

 country. Wlierever infested plants were 

 received new centers of infestation broke 

 out, and thus the insect spread over the 

 fruit sections of our country.
