Tho tevcstlgntlon war. undor'iken at tho xeqpuest of tho Santa Clara county board of supervisors, who furnished the funds nnd liberally granted nee oesary facilities for n thorough and scientific study, nnd wan carried out 4a the Santa Clara valley, where tho tnrlps seemed to bo at lta worst. Tho Investigation extended through n pe riod of fifteen months, from Febru ary, 1904, to April 1905. Tho writer offers this paper rath r as an Introduction for future work than as a comploted account, nnd It is Intended capocla'ly for tho fruit grow er, that ho may understand tho nature at tho insect and Its Injury. Tho ahtrm felt for tho safety of tho do cUuous fruit industry, which tho pear tferipB caused during 1904 and 1905, ta tho light of our present knowledge seed not again bo experienced, and, although no effective moans of con trol aro yet ofiercd, a knowledgo of tho life habits should do much to teir nway tho uncertainty usually following tho first appearance of a destructive pest in any locality. Nature nnd Extent of Injury. Injury to plants Is tho direct re wit of tho feeding and ovipositing f the thrlps. Description of tho Mouth Ports. Tho mouth pr.rts of thrlps project from tho lower posterior sldo of tho bend and have tho appearance of an Inverted cone. The mouth opening Is In tho small distal end, and through 1t tho stylets or piercing organs ore projected when tho Insect Is feeding. The rim at the tip is armed with sov ral strong, cMtinous point, which Csure prominently In tearing open tho plant tissues. Tho insect first pierces tho plant epidermis with the vtylots, then, moving the cono tip backward and forward, it enlarges tho opening and lacerates tho plant tissue by moans cf tho barbod snout. It then pushes tho tip of tho mouth cono Into tho puncture thus inado and sucks In tho plant Julcos. Larvao feed In a similar way, having similarly constructed mouth parts, ltelntlon of tho Duddtng nnd Blos soming of Trees to tho Feeding Hnbtts of Thrlps. Tho dark brown adult thrlps ar rive on tl 0 trees In lato Fobruary and early March, tho period of early opening buds nnd first blossoms; they aro common In March and April, tho two months of bloom and early leaf, and are nil gono from tho trees by tho middle of May. Only u few adults can bo found attor tho first of May, and most larvao havo reached full growth by this tlmo rad havo gone Into tho ground. Thus it is that the actlvo feeding stages of tho thrlps coincide with tho budding, blooming and early loaf periods of tho ho it trees. Tho difference In bud formation and progress of development of va rious deciduous trees Influenco to a largo extent tho manner of Injury which thrlps Inflict. Trees may bo divided for the sako of convenience in regard to tho hud structure into two groups, namely: (1) Those In which a single fruit bud produces one blossom, .such as tho almond, apricot and peach; and (2) thoso In which a single fruit hud opens out tot form a cluster of blossoms which later produces a cluster of fruits, as tho prune, cnerry, pear and applo. Tho relative blooming periods of ,tho several varieties of fruit on which thrlps inflict injury, as found in tho Santa Clara valley, may be noted as follews: Group 1 Almonds, lato In Febru ary; apricots and peaches, early, In March. Group 2 Prunes, mlddlo and last of March; cherries and pears, early in April. Theho periods vary from year to year and tho varieties of oach fruit also vary to a largo degree, but the general order of blooming is sugges tive. Opening buds precede full bloom by eight or ten days. (To Bo Continued.)
