26 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesdoy, September 28, 1960 Strawberries In Danger TRURO, NS, (CP) ~~ Next year's Nova Scotia srtawber erop is in danger of being seri ously reduced because of a tiny parasitic mite that has invaded the plants, agriculture experts say Ironically, one of the reasons for the mite is the same warm dry weather that resulted in a bumper crop this year Vv. R. Vickery, entomologist with the provincial agriculture department, and Dr, D. L, Craig of Kentville, N.S, have been working on the problem since July. They estimate 60 per cent of all varieties are infested to some degree, The pest thrives when high h dity Is panied b temperatures of above 70 de- grees, The cyclamen mites oc- cur mainly on young leaves not fully opened, The adult female lays eggs at the rate of about three a day and an entire gener- ation can grow up in 14 days. Mr, Vickery and Dr. Craig said control measures must be started immediately, If the fruit buds developing in the centre of the plant are damaged by the Vs microscopic miets, next year's crop will be retarded. The agriculture department has recommended certain insec- ticides but points out the mite | virtually impossible to stamp out completely, It will be years be-| \ fore growers may relax their! vigilance | The 1960 Nova Scotia straw-| berry. crop was close to 800,001 quarts, nie Is Checked FRENCHMAN'S BAY -- The south-west Pickering Fire Dept was called to the home of Mr, and| Mrs. Hooper cn Bay street, Sat | urday, when fire started in the, chimney, Mrs, Hooper had had a wood fire in their Quebec heater but had made sure the fire was out before going ACross the street to visit a neighbor, She noticed the fire a few minutes after leaving the house and re-| turned for her month-old baby who was asleep.
