CAPTAIN EGGLESTON
GETS A WINDFALL
Capt. 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

tion covering such cases, and this
receipt of $400 In a lump Bum is
almost like finding it. Ashland

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

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.

Tho stnto hatcheries at Tahoo,
Urookdalo and Ukiah have 9,000,000
trout for distribution. Charles A.
Vogelsang, chief deputy of tho fish
and gamo commission, who was horo
yesterday in company with Commis
sioner F. W. Van Slcklen, says that
tho three othor stato hatchorles will
yield numborn ns follews: Tahoo, 6,-

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. Shebley, superintendent of tho
Slsson hatchpry, has G 0,0 00 brood
ors In tho fifty ponda. In addition
thoro are 50,000 young trout In tho
ponds that will develop Into brood

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.
