INSECT DRAMAS IN THE MAKING.
PARASITES BRED FOR EXPORT.
MAKING GOOD NATURE'S CAPRICES TO BENEFIT FARMERS.
The layman does not, look for drama in entomology, which he is inclined to regard as a very mat ter-of-fact science; but if he cared to plumb some of the seerets of the Faraham Royal Farasite Labora tory, founded by the Imperial Bureau of Entomology three years ago in a charming country house in the heart of "becchy Bucks," he would encounter another in seek play" quite as fascinating as" Capek's.
This codling moth does a lot of damage to apple crops, notably in Canada, Australia, and Cyprus. At Farnham Royal it is encouraged to do as much damage as it pos- sibly can. It luys its eggs on pa- por; each egg is "mounted" on a fragment smaller than a piece of confetti, and the fragment is care fully pinned to the apple so that there shall be no mistake about the larva emerging and doing its work. While it is doing its work the parasites get busy doing theirs,
and
An important part of the Farn- ham Royal research is, of course, devoted to finding parasites which, while being beneficial in one par ticular way, will not be harmful in others, in which case the 'cure' might be worse than the ill. One- insect found, for example, which attacked blackberry right enough, but went on to attack up. ple and raspberry also. Natural. ly, he was relegated in favour of
