These percentages are based upon
the number of pupils In tho classes
represented, and not upon the actual
ausBbor of pupils spelling, each pupil
who Is absent from school on con
test days being charged with having

Heaco these grades are lower than

THE PEAR THRIPS
(By Dudloy Moulton of tho JJcpartmont
Deciduous Fruit Insect Investigations.)
of Acrlculturo, engaged In
(Continued from Ycstorday.)
Tho Nymph or Pupa.
The writer hits not been able to
determine how long tho nymph stago
but it evidently oxtendr. over sovornl
weeks. Nymphs In all Etnges of de
velopment woro collcctod during May
and nt lntorvnls until tho following
February, but tl oy are most common
during Doiomber, Janu.irk, and Feb
ruary. The writer hns gathored
nymphs from tho ground early In
May, but it is difficult to explain
tholr presence thcro so early In" tho
spring. It hardly seems possiblo that
these were tho still Immature forms
of tfco previous year, for by this time
all adult thrips had left tho trees.
These nymphs woro takon along
with tho larvae, which had just en
tered tho ground, and It might seem
that they were hurrying through to
produce a second geno-atlon; but to
tho writer's certain knowledge adults
of n second generation did not appear
on the tree. Tho nymph Is actlvo at
all times. Wlngu dovolop from mere
buds to long sacs which project back
ward along tho sides of tho body, and
eventually reach beyond the tip of
the abdomen.
Tho Adult.
The adult thrips remain in the
pupal chamber for days, and It may
be weeks before they Issue forth to
tako up active life. How individual
thrips force their way through tho
several Indies of earth which lies
aboe them Is still a question. They
como out, It seems, only after the
ground has been thoroughly softened
by rains, and it is evident, too, that
they depenj largely on tho natural
openings. They can not possibly use
the backwardly bent mouth cono as
a means of boriny or biting their way
out. Thy have several groups of
spines and certain angular edges on
the sides of the abdominal segments,
however, which might bo used In
forcing a way through the soft soil.
They also poisess roughened, scoop
like structutes parts of tho chltl
nous, hoof-life shell of the feet
which undoubtedly are ube.l for digging.
Adult thrips appeared la alarming
Adults may be present in nn ov
chnrd for a few das and then sud
denly almost nil disappear Thla Is
explained by their habits of migration
as ovidenced by tho following obser
vations In a cortnln poar orchard
which had been kopt undor dally ob
servation for a weok or more thrips
had been abundant In bkssoms nnd
buds until suddenly ono day all seetnd
to li.ivo disappeared. Upon closor
examination, however, they woro
found congregating and walking
nrouud on tho larger brarictea. This
wa3 about 3 oclock In tho afternoon.
On tho following mornlnjf hnrdly an
individual could bo found In tho or
chaul. This maimer of flight seems
to bo distinctly migrator. Thrips
ofton leave their places of feeding
Just before ouncot and hover around
and over and later settle bnck on tho
same trees. This mode of flight Is
decidedly different from tho mlgrv-
tory one. It occurs only at even
ing, and tho writer has never seeu
tho pear thrips In flight during tho
morning or during tho mlddlo of tho
day.
Methods and Natural Factors in
Control.
The study of tho llto habits of tho
pear thrips, as already given In de
tail, explains why certain arttllclnl
remedies nro not entirely effective,
nnd It also suggests othor methods.
Adults appear suddenly li Into Feb
ruary and oirly March. They enter
tho opening buds and feed largely In
protected places, and always on newly
developing plant tissue. Destru:
tlon to buds can bo accomplished In
a very few clays It may bo In less
than a week. Tho fully dovolopoJ
wings of the Insect permit of active
flight and widespread distribution.
Ovipositlon, extending through sev
eral weeks, permits of a widespread
and a continuous feeding porlod for
tho new brood. Eggs are safely
placed within the plant tissue. Larvto
feed largely 'a protected places whllo
on the tree, and then seek Bhclter and
spend many months In tho ground.
An Individual of tho specie, will spend
about oleven months In tl o ground
and one on the tree, although tho

Admiral Dewey points out that it

tastefully decorated with flags and

unusual heat a lurgo audience of rep
resentative citizens were present nnd
upon the main cnusos that led to our
civil war, reviewed as briefly our na
tional history since thnt time, and
struck a note of warning against the
danger that threatens us from tho
egoism which may result from ovor
prospority nnd too great success.
Among other good things, ho said:
"As great as has been our many

Elsted sang a duet and tho services
closed with "Amorioa," sung by tho

In the afternoon tho splendid band
of G. A. R. brothers and that no less

tho way through the dust and heat to
