ORCHARD PESTS.
A BIOLOGIST'S VIEWSBy Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, March 13. Dr. Tillyard, the recently-appointed biologist to the Cawthron Institute, Is proceeding to England to represent the Dominion at the Entomological Conference in London. He will also procure books and apparatus for the Institute, and will attend the scientific congress at. Honolulu on the way back, ■ returning about October.
Dr. Tillyard is much impressed witli the serious losses of the apple industry by aphis, and rs that the increasing price of chemicals will soon make spraying prohibitive. He deems it absolutely necessary to discover and cultivate the natural enemies of the pest. He points out that this is done in California, and though costly is well worth the money.
