CLOSER TAB
UPON BANKS
Comptroller of Currency Dovclops
New System of Inspection to Aid
Examiners in Detecting Forbidden
Operations.
WASHINGTON, May 27. In fur
therance of his plans for obtaining
a more nccurato insight into the con
dition of national banks, Comptroller
of tho Currency Murray has devel
oped a now systom for tho guidnuco
of tho national bnnk examiners. By
its menns, if faithfully carried out,
thoro will bo established in the offico
of tho comptroller a regular credit
bureau by which it will bo possiblo
for him to keep tab on tho financial
transaction, not only of tho officers
and directors of tho banks them
selves, but of all the big borrowers
of tho country.
Under this system tho comptroller
believes that should operations such
as thoso which landed C. W. Morse
in tho Atlanta prisou to tried it will
be found impossible. He has sent
out to ovcry national bank examiner
& series of forms upon which thoy
aro required to make returns on n
number of important matters never
heretofore required of them. Tho in
formation thus acquired will bo held
in confidence from tho public, but it
will bo of so intimate a nature and
of such immense financial import
ance if it should fall into tho hands
of tho wrong man, that there is rea
Eon to believe that there will bo ob
pection from the banks.
Por instance, section 5 of tho now
list of questions requires every ua
tional bank examiner to furnish the
names of all "financiers of question
able methods" whose operations ex
tend into their districts. Tho words
quoted aro printed in capital letters
to give them more prominence
Another form is to bo used to give
a, statement of tho "doubtful or
questionable paper," in which offi
cers or directors of banks are inter
ested, giving the name of the bor
rower and of the bank, tho amount
in each bank and tho total in each
district. This is to be supplemented
by similar reports as to the same
land of paper of persons or firms
other than' officials and directors,
and tho inquiry is to bo mado more
searching by extending it to a report
as to "largo or extended lines of
credit," in which officers or others
may bo interested.

(Continued from Yesterday.
Tho nlmotul, of tho first group,
presents an Interesting study of tho
feeding habits of thrlps. Tho bud
development occurs during early Feb
ruary, early blossoms from February
5 to 1G, and full bloom from Febru
ary 9 to 20 and later. Thrlps ap
pear about February 35 or March 1,
and It Is evident that almond blos
soms nro well along beforo enough
thrlps havo appeared to bocomo es
pecially Injurious. Many Instances
can bo cited whoro thrlp3 woro es
pecially numerous on almond treoa,
often as many as 35 or 50 Inhabiting
a slnglo blossom, and yot tho trees
set and matured a full crop of nuts.
Tho Insects did not havo an opportu
nity to attack tho oponlng buds, and
after blossoms wero opon they pre
ferred tho nectary glando on tho ln
8ldo of Uio calyx cupo. Thoy did not,
apparently, rollsh any othor .parts of
theso particular blossoms, and tho
pistil, stigma and young fruits woro
not attacked. Staraons woro weaken
ed, for thoy arlso from iho him of
tho Calyx Just abovo Uio placo whoro
tho Insects find their onllclng food,
but tho pollon had already rlponod
nnd had been shod. Thrlpa can bo
found aa numerously on almonds aB
on any othor variety of affected trco3,
but thoro Is a largo, newly oxposod
leaf and blossom surfaco, and tho
greatest dangor porlod Is passed be
fore tho Insects arrive. For theso
reasons tho trees aro ablo to support
many thrlps without tho amount or
tho quality of tholr fruit bolng ap
preciably affected.
Tho peach, especially tho Mulr and
Nlcol's cling varieties, suffers as
much as other fruits, but tho acreago
In tho Santa Clara valley 1b not largo
a3 compared with that of tho pruno,
or Instance; consequently tho damngo
ha3 not been so markod. Tho porlod
of opening buds and blossoms occurs
Just at a tlmo to permit of thrlps on
torlng them from their earliest de
velopment. Tho swolllng bud
pushes apart Its outer Inter pro
tecting scales and thrlps Immediate
ly force a way In. Tho Insects feed
on tho tender, closely plaltod tips of
petals, which aro readily killed. They
force an entranco between calyx
lobes and petals, feeding as thoy go,
and soon reach and attack tho vory
small and fragile blossom stom. This
Is coon destroyed. Later tho blos
soms which may havo escaped tho
n ..1- tnlnrv nrn ntfnnkprl frnm with

IlOWer pans, ids piercing ouu runn
ing manner of feeding Is very dlsna-,
trous to tender plant tissue, and fa-'
tal Injury can bo effected by a vory
fow movements of tho powerful
mouth cono with Its armed" tip. Tho
writer ha3 of ton examined' peach troes
which had but recently boon- attacked
by thrlps and found that almost overy
blossom would fall out from its clus
ter of scales wnen tho limbs woro gen
tly tapped. Badly Infoated pencil trees
do not bloom nt nil.
Apricot Wobboius arc Rttullar to
those of tho peach and nro Injured
in tho samo way.
Tho thrlps la at its worst on trees
of tho second group, which Includes
tho pear, prune, cherry and npplo.
Theso fruits bloom later, which per
mits tho gathering of thrlps In uuui
bora before buda aro at all advanced.
The wrllor has found thrlps on chorry
and pruno trees waiting, as It were,
for tho buds to open, nnd ho has
found as many na 75 Individuals In n
slnglo blossom which opened prema
turely early. A thrlps enters a pruno
bul through tho tip nnd forces a way
down tho center of the cluotor, feed
ing ns it goes on tho contiguous sides
of tho novcrnt blossom buds. 'Normal
growth ceases Immediately. Tho un
touched outer sldo of each blossom
bud dovolops for a time, but tho In
jured Innor part becomes brown and
dies. This cnusos each flower bud
to turn In toward tho center, and tho
wholo cluster ovontunlly falla. When
thus Injured, most blossoniB do not
opon nt all, but If they do thrlps aro
ablo to enter nnd feed In tho moro
vital flower parts, Only t, fow blos
soms survlvo both periods of Injury
when thrlps nro vory numerous. The
Insects attack blossom and lor.f buds
alike, and, In fact, overy part that of-
fors now and tondor plant tissue
Penrs suffor mostly during enrly
bud dovolopmont, and blcssoms nro
nearly all dead boforo tho clusters
open.
Chorrles prcsont a moro resistant
growth, ihoro Is a decidedly sticky
secretion on tin surfaco of nowly ox
posod lcavos, and ofton wings of
thrlps stick fast and many nro thus
trapped. Chorrles dovolop so rapid
ly that whon buds onco start blossom
clusters are ablo to push out, ofton
almost unharmed, ovon whon ninny
thrlps nro prcsont. Theso clusters
form Ideal places for ovlposltlon, and,
as will bo seon Inter, chorry treos
which may bo ablo to roslst tho early
Injuries of foodlng will suffor from
tho effects of ovipositing.
