Insects Affecting the Blueberry. (1) Strengthen insect 
pest control program and attempt to find formulations more 
stable under adverse weather conditions. (2) Find adequate 
control measures for late blueberry maggot in fruit destined 
for frozen or fresh fruit market. (3) Amplify data obtained 
on pollination, and learn if intensive pollination would 
result in a stand of undersized berries. (4) Continue 
biological studies on destructive pests of blueberries.

Injurious and Beneficial Insects of the Cranbe ° 
To (1) study biological relations of cranberry pests, 
especially parasitism; (2) clarify some scale insect 
relations now obscure; (3) further test newer insecticides 
as presented; (4) study cranberry fruitworm life history 
as related to blueberry and cranberry infestations; and 
(5) study the possibility of controlling cranberry fruitworm 
by killing adults compared with present methods of control 
based on killing of small worms.

The Ecology and Control of the Black Che Fruit Fl 
Rhagoletis Fausta in Western Montana. To (1) determine 2 
distribution of fruit fly in fruit-producing areas of Western 
Montana; (2) determine which fruits other than cherries serve 
as hosts for black cherry fruit fly and which might function 
as reservoirs for reinfestation; (3) study life processes in 
relation to environment to discover controllable limiting 
factors in either physical or chemical environment; and 
(4) continue work in progress on developing an acceptable 
insecticidal control method.

The Development rovement and Maintenance of ; 
Blueberry Fields. To determine (1) reliable procedures for 
developing and maintaining blueberry plants on abandoned 
farm lands and other available areas; (2) optimum cultural 
practices particularly fertilizer requirements, weed control, 
and the control of insects and diseases; (3) the ecological 
factors significantly associated with successful blueberry 
production; and (4) to create improved stands through 
selection and breeding.
