TOM RICHARDSON
QUITS PUBLICITY WORK
PORTLAND, June 2. Tom Rich
ardson, for the last six years publicity
manager of the Portland Commercial
Club and secretary of the Oregon De
velopment League, yesterday an
nounced his Intention of retiring from
the dual position, June 30. A desire
to give more time to hiB private en
terprises, coupled with a stronger de
sire to "rest up," are the reasons fas
signed by Mr. Richardson for his ac
tion. "Immediately upon retiring I will
go with my family to my ranch in the
Tualatin Valley and remain one solid
month, without leaving It. I am
going to take the first rest of my
business career," he said.
Mr. Richardson's resignation was
not unexpected in inside sources. It
is known that enterprises In which he
is interested have grown to large pro
portions and before now he has dis
cussed the question of resigning his
position. In response to the sugges
tion that his resignation would be
keenly felt by tho Commercial Club
Mr. Richardson said:
"Tho Commercial Club and tho De
velopment League have grown to the
extent that the service of no one Indi
vidual is necessary to. tho growth or
existence of either. Their develop
ment is without parallel In the United
States. In no other section of this
couutry before have organizations
long the lines of the Development
League and the Commercial Club
lived, expanded and prospered as they
fcave."

sprays.
Exposed tl rips, both adults and
larvno, can bo klllod by sovoral of
the contact Insecticides, but sprays
have not proved successful becauxo
the spray mlxturo can not bo forced
Into tho verv tender bul&. nnd blos
soms who'ro the thrlps are, without
injuring the plants, nnd, besides, all
of tho thrlps can not bo reached by
a singlo sp'aylng. It was found In
the limited experiments of 1905 th.t
thrlps could bo killed over nny given
nrea, but that within a few days tho
infestation rould bo as bad as though
no sprayins bad been done. This
is accounted for by tho presonco of
those thrlps which escaped tho spray
and by the new individuals which had
migrated Into tho orchaid.
It would bo Impossible for all pc-
jsoih to Accomplish their spraying
within tho fow days when the thrlps
iare arriving on tho trees. Larvao
are more easily killed than adult
thrlps, but as they feed largely with
in the leaf clusters they, too, are pro
tected. Spraying to kill larvno would nec
essarily bo done after the serious in
jury from r.dults had been effected.
It might be possible to obtain some re
sult1 by apply a poisonous spray, but
the ever newly unfolding leaf sur
face, upon vrhlch the Insects could
feed and which would not bo poisoned,
would render xbls kind of spray al
most usoless.
Cultivation.
There is some ground for believ
ing, although the ovldenco Is not con
clusive, that thorough cultivation will
figure largely as a means of control
for the pear thrlps; but oven hero tho
treatment must cover areas of con
siderable extent. Thripc larvae In
the ground are mostly within reach
of tho play, being usually found with
in 5 Inches of tho surface, although
a few may go deeper. On unculti
vated areas they may be found within
two or three Inches of the surface.
Thrlps are entering the ground most
ly during the last two weeks of
March and during April, a period
when the most active cultivation of.
tho year is carried on. But tho In
sects are vory nctlvo at this time, and
It they are only disturbed and not
killed In the mechanical stirring of
tho soil they simply find n now place
to hldo and perhaps go n l'ttlo deeper
Into tho ground. From tho following
evidence, however, It Is quite obvious
that careful spring cultivation Is holp
ful. A certain row of cherry trees
which was badly Infested with thrlps
during 1905 was kept under constant
observation for sovoral months be
cause It represented various Interest
ing conditions. The trees bordered
a roadway and wero for this reason
cultivated only on ono sldo. Thoro
was a strip of land perhaps two feet
wldo extondlng on either sldo of tho
row, which, though uncultivated, was
not hardened like tho roadway. In
February and March, 1905, tho troos
In question were very badly Infestod.
were stripped of all their fruits, and
left with pnle, ragged leaves. Adults
wero numerous. Many oggs wore de
posited and larvao by thousands ma
tured, dropped down, and ontorcd
tered tho ground. Theso larvao wero
actually seon ontorlng tho soil, mostly
during tho month of April. During
April and May they wero readily
found In tho ground several feet fromJ
tho tree as well as near to Its trunk.
They wero scattered about gonerally,
regardless of cultivation, except that
tho many Individuals which wero un
able to penetrate tho hard gravel road
crawled off to tho sldo. Thoy did
not go deeper than three or four
Inches In tho uncultivated strip near
tho trees, which in tho woll-cultlvated
soil they wero often found six or
soven inches below tho surface. Thoy
could bo found easily anywhere, In
April, just after entering tho ground.
After tho spring and early summer
cultivating, however, almost none
could be found In. the deeply cultivat
ed soil, but they wero as common as
over In, the uncultivated ground. A
dozen or more thrlps were often col
lected from a small clod about an
inch and a half in diameter. Small
uncultivated areas may be found In
almost any orchard, and It Is a fact
that a few square yards of ground
can harbor a very largo number of
thrlps.
