Eggleston has recently got word that approximately $400 has been allowed him as army back pay, that amount having been discovered M dae him by delving among the dusty archives reposing in the war department at Washington. The time during the Civil war deals with bis record when he was a lieutenant la the Tenth Cavalry, following ca- etshlp days, and experienced stren uous service in Texas, Indian Terri tory and other exposed stations. Tho amount to which he Is entitled is available Just as soon as the gov ernment makes a general appropria tion covering such cases, and this receipt of $400 In a lump Bum is almost like finding it. Ashland Tidings. EW COMMERCIAL ORCHARD COMPANY IS ORGANIZED Tho Ashland Commercial Or chards Company, which has taken over the Mickelson ranch of 400 or aore acres on Emigrant Creek, for merly known as tho Henry Chap man place, has been incorporated. Some 200 acres of this tract is now andor cultivation, and tho purpose Ja to develop tho entire property and placo it n the market in units to suit purchasers. The place is two miles east of the Llthia Springs and was acquired from A. W. Thomas. Tho incorporators are A. W. Thomas, F. G. McWilllams and C. D. Bcbell, George B. McManamon, a apftallst of St. Louis, and B. U. Toung. The Incorporators perfected an or ganization by electing F. G. McWlI liaras, president; A. W, Thomas, vice president; and C. D, Schell, secretary and treasurer. (Continued from Ycstorday.) In tho conldlophoro stago on tho treo tho fungus hyphao break forth in groups from between tho body seg ments and extend out as long slcndor threads, which in turn branch and form numorous fruiting organs. This stngo of tho fungus has been taken only from adult thrtps on tho treo and not from tho larvae, and It has been found present almost every where that the pear thrtps has beou collected. There Is no doubt that the fungus spends a part of its life on the treo and a part in the ground, tho rapidly fruiting stago among tho active thrtps and tho heavy-wallod dormant stago within tho hlbornat lng Individuals in tho ground; but wo can only surmlso how it 13 carried from one to tho other. The bodies of the larval thrlps within tho ground are all absorbed by the fungus and naturally, therefore, tho spores must bo carried to a now host before they can germinate to any great extent. We have found adult thrlps In tho ground whoso dead bodies contained only a few spores and others which developed some of tho oxtornal mycelial growth within their cells. If this were often the case, and these Individuals In tho ground produced fruiting spores as they do on the trees, it would be an easy matter for healthy individuals In coming from the ground to become accidentally in fested and to carry the parasito up to the treo where, because of the gre garious habits of the Insect, it would spread rapidly. Tho fungus grows readily In the nutrient agar under ordinary condi tions and seems to retln Its virulence and can be transferred from cul tures to the living thrlps. Tho fun gus may prove to be a check for tho pear thrlps, but Its effectiveness Is uncertain because it is so subject to climatic conditions. Cultivation methods, howover, as a means or control, can ne only par tially effective at best. Ono can not kill all of the thrlps in tho ground even with the most careful cultiva tion, and there are always men who can not or will not cultivate at the proper time. Then, too, there are areas along fance3, ditches, etc, which can be cultivated only with great difficulty. What Is oven more important, certain kinds of soils adobo and clays can bo cultivated only under certain conditions to be kept mellow and loose. The present manner of cultivation in the Santa Clara offers almost ideal conditions for the thrlps, in that tho insect is left undisturbed during almost the entire period occupied by the rest ing stage from Juno until the fol lowing February. Thrlps are in the ground all of this time, and for the most part within reach of the cultivator, but they ma ture and arrive on tho trees in tho months of March and April, beforo spring cultivating Is begun. Natural Enemies. The pear thrlps is largely protect ed from ordinary prodaceous and par asitic insects, because it spends so long a time hidden away in the ground. A successful parasite must In a way parallel the life of its host, and wo have found no insect which thus follows the pear thrlpa. Ra phldlans, or snake flies, their com monest enemies In tho Santa Clara Valley, feed rather on the younger forms than on the fully developed fnBects, and they do not appear( early enough In the spring to constitute an effective check to tho pest. To be competent thrlps killers they would have to feed on other Insects for porhaps ten months In tho year and then, when thrlps appear, sud denly change their diet and later, after thrlps have gone Into thoj ground, as suddenly change back! again to aphides or to something , else. Such feoding hnblta nro notto bo expected in n prodacoouB spocloa Ants woro. nt one tlmo thought to be doing much good ns an enemy of tho thrlps. A cortaln orclmrdlst brought In an ant with a. thrlps Im paled in its Jaw3 tho ovldonco conv ploto. After a careful Investigation howover, It was found that only n very small percentage of ants woro actually killing thrlps. Four hun dred nnta woro examined as thoy de scended a thrips-lnfested tree. Twolvo of theso carried somothlng lu their Janws and only four of theso objects were thrlps. Thus only 1 per cent of tho ants on the treo wcro actually killing thrlps and carrying thorn down. It has been a common obser vation among orchnrdlsts, howover, that thrlps nro not common whore ants are unusually abundant. Spiders and mites nro active one- mles of thrlps. In some of our brood ing cages almost all of tho thrlps would at times bo killed by so mo small spider or mlto which had gained an entrance Tho writer has observed a red mlto actively- engaged in feeding on the onion thrlps. Both the thrlps and the mlto woro very common In large onion flolds, cover ing soveral hundred, acres. A mlto would bo seen to approach and graps a thrlps with Its front pair of legs and, Inserting Us proboscis, suck out the body juices of its prey. A single mite was often observed thus to kill several thrlps within a vory fow minutes. Tho writer strongly spspects that some mlto preys on tho younger stages of tho pear thrlps whllo It is in the ground. This would bo entirely possible, and mites aro commonly found in tho grass and In tho ground. A fungus, presumably parasitic, has been endemic among thrlps during the seasons 1905 and 1906. In Its different stages it Uvea on both young and mature thrlps, and In a way parallels the life of Its host. Dur ing the spring of 1905 thrlps larvae were often observed to bo thickly infesting a tree, and after theso had disappeared, presumably having gono Into the ground, nono or but few liv ing ones could bo found. Many larvae, too, seemed to leayo the tree before they had reach' d full growth, and within breeding cages these larvao were seen to die as tho direct re sult of tho parasite. Projecting from their bodies woro to bo seen the tiny fruiting conidlophores of tho fungus. Adult thrlps were seen to be attacked by another form of the parasite during the spring of 1906. Tho past two seasons bavo offered almost ideal conditions for tho de velopment of tho fungus, enabling it to becomo quite widespread. The life history of tho fungus has been determined only In part. The heavy-wailed resting spores, the dor mant stago, are found within larvao and adults in tho ground; never, thus far, in pupae in tho ground or in In dividuals on tho tree. Dead larvae from the ground show that tho In ternal body organs have all been dls placed by the fungus, and In most cases the body contains only a mass of the heavy-walled spores. Tho transition which takes place In the formation of these spores Is as yet not clear, but there seems to bo a general breaking up of tho fungus hyphao within tho thrlps body. In one well-preptred specimen thero was an Indistinct grouping of particles around many centers. These were presumably tho forming spores, for In tho next stngo tho formation of such spores was complete. Those heavy-walled spores may be found noarly tho wholo year through, al though they are especially abundant from May until tho following Feb ruary.

Van Slcklen, says that tho three othor stato hatchorles will yield numborn ns follews: Tahoo, 6,- 000,000; Brookdalo, 2,000,000; Uklah, 1,000. Theso hatcheries, cam blued with tho Slsson hatcher', glvo a total of 17.000.000 young trout ready tor distribution. Tho Slsson hatchery alono will glvo to tho streams of tho stato enough trout to glvo each inhabitant of California tlvo tine fish. Tho llttlo fellows aro aged about three months and arr scarcely two Inches long. Tho Slsson hatchery has alroady distributed 22,000,000 salmon. Theso were hatched from eggs received from tho United States fisheries at Balrd, Battle Creek and Mill Crock In Shasta and Tehama Counties. W. II.

In addition thoro are 50,000 young trout In tho ponds that will develop Into brood ers In tho courso of two or threo years. All these aro trout of tho Rainbow, Loch Leccn, Eastern Brook and a few other cholco varieties. Tho Stnto Appropriation. Charles A. Vogelsang, chief dopu ty of the fish and gamo commission, points to tho fact that tho atato appropriates only $20,000 to tho sup port of tho commission, which, In addition to protesting fish and gamo, maintains these hatcheries. That 1b not ono penny for each inhabitant. Tho sum of $19,000 haB been re ceived in one year from fines; fish ermen's licenses yielded $22,000, This year's recolpts from hunters' licenses will bo $128,000, from which must be deducted tho 10 per cent commission allowed to tho coun ty clerks. In two years $22,000 has been paid in bounty for moun tain lion scalps. Vogelsang esti mates that tho slaughter of 1,060 mountain lions has saved tho lives of 55,000 deor. Estimating a deer as being worth $10, tho saving to the stato has been $550,000 over half a million. WE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY ON Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Stoves, Ranges, Etc. Complete House Furnishers.
