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.

MADRID, May 20. Tho revelation

Spain caused the doubling of tho
