Volume XV Portland, Oregon, March, 1921 Number 9 Cherry By OF THE insects which attack the cherry, there are none of such outstanding importance as to be generally recognized or as to prevent the development of a fair crop of fruit from year to year. As a rule, cherry growers practice no definite spray pro- gram for insect pest control. Neverthe- less there are a number of fairly serious pests that prey upon cherries. Occa- sionally sprays must be applied for their control or serious losses result. It is a reasonable conclusion that the adoption of a more comprehensive spray program would be most decidedly prof- itable for the majority of the growers. The Cherry Maggot. The fruit of our late varieties of cher- ries, when ripe, if permitted to remain on the trees for a short time, or where held in storage often develop an incon- spicuous shrunken brown area on one side. An examination of the interior of the fruit reveals a plump white maggot within the decaying pulp, usually lo- cated near the pit.
