It is too soon yet to form a definite opinion regarding its permanent usefulness. And experiments will require to be made in order to prove its ability to thrive in the climate of Ontario. The apple-maggot (rhagoletis [trypeta] pomonella). This insect attacks the fruit by burrowing in all directions through the flesh which it feeds upon, and leaving brown channels - thus rendering the fruit perfectly valueless. Fortunately it has so far been found in few localities in Ontario, but it 1s quite common in New York and New England States, and may at any time spread over this country.
