LATEST ABOUT THE THRIPS ADVANCE REPORT OF WORK OF DEPARTMENT SPECIALIST Deep Plowing and Cultivation During Fall Will Do Much to Destroy the Insect—Studying Life Habits and Control of the Pest The problem of controlling the pear thrips has become a very acute and important one in many of the deciduous fruit sections in California, and although the insect seems hard to control it has now been shown conclusively that this insect can be checked by proper and careful treatment. It has been well demonstrated that plowing and otherwise cultivating the ground during October, November and December, when the insect is in the pupal condition, reduces its numbers very noticeably, and also that spraying with a combination of Distillate Oil Emulsion and Tobacco Extract, when the thrips are on the trees will kill a very large percent, practically all of those which may have escaped the earlier treatment. Cultivation and spraying, it will be found, are both so directly subject to weather conditions (and each must be done at its own proper time to be effective), that orchard work such as pruning and spraying for other insects must be considered well beforehand and completed or so arranged that they will interfere but little with the treatment for thrips. Forethough and carefulness of work, it will be found, are most important factors if the treatment is to be entirely successful. The life history of the pear thrips in brief is as follows: Adults begin to appear about the 15th of February, although a few individuals may derfully successful wherever proper sprays have been used and the work done immediately on time and with thoroughness and care. Indifferent and careless work or improper sprays are not effective. The thrips must first of all be reached. This necessitates high pressure, 125 to 180 pounds and a rather coarse penetrating spray such as may be thrown from a Friend Vermorel nozzle. It is necessary also that the spray be directed downwards into the buds and not thrown at them from below or from the sides. It should be remembered that spraying is done not to drive the insects away or to protect the trees from any possible future attack, but to kill those insects which are actually present on the trees. A tower platform should be built over the spray-wagon wherever the trees are large so that the upper branches can be properly sprayed. Almost all of the standard spray formulas have been tried out and all except two have been eliminated. The bodies of the thrips, both adults and larvae are decidedly oily and strongly resistant to all sprays which do not assimilate readily with oil. For example, the lime-sulphur solution which is ordinarily very caustic and penetrating may be thrown on to the thrips and it will merely gather in globules on their bodies and not penetrate to kill them. Both larvae and adults have been observed to actually float around in the ordinary soap and lime-sulphur sprays with no apparent inconvenience. Dry sprays are also absolutely ineffective. Emulsions of oil combined with crude carbolic acid or crude creosote are extremely penetrating, in reality killing almost every thrip that they touch, even when applied in a very weak form, but these combinations are just as violently injurious to blossoms and leaves as to the thrips so they cannot be considered at all. MINING LOCATION H. H. Yard and the Mining Company (Special to WASHINGTON, assistant Secretary Frank Pierce, has ion declaring invasions claimed in the North California for land in the Plumas, California. The culmination of a call to the government and agents, which was March 16, 1907, was found that North California were claiming acres of heavily taxed approximately $5,000 in the Plumas N.W., Butte and Plumia ncia. Through co-operated Department of the Forest Service a station was made of consequence of the North California linquished location 34,000 acres of land made by the Co-General Land Office for 11,000 acres. Mr. Yard and tended that the Interior had no juice mine the validity. The testimony at the local land of California, shows res were covered 000 board feet of about $320,000, and claims had been held by the Mining Company five years, there only about three d pruning and spraying for other insects must be considered well beforehand and completed or so arranged that they will interfere but little with the treatment for thrips. Forethough and carefulness of work, it will be found, are most important factors if the treatment is to be entirely successful. The life history of the pear thrips in brief is as follows: Adults begin to appear about the 15th of February, although a few individuals may have come up earlier than this; they are numerous after the 18th and by the 25th they are common everywhere. They continue coming up from the ground in maximum numbers between February 18th and March 16th. At this later date practically all are out. A few individuals may come out even as late as March 30th but these are of no consequence. The adult thrips feed in the opening fruit buds, in blossoms, and on foliage for a period of about 5 to 6 weeks. They begin to place their eggs about March 15th and this period of oviposition continues until about April 10th. The adult insect is furnished with a saw-shaped ovipositor with which she first cuts an incision into the tender leaf or blossom stem and then forces an egg down into the plant tissue. The adults die after oviposition is concluded. The egg is at all times protected and can not be reached by spraying. The larva hatches after about 4 days and comes out through the cut in the plant tissue through which the egg was passed when it was laid. The larva feeds for about 3 weeks and then drops to the ground and penetrates down several inches. It encloses itself in a little earthen cell, enters into a resting condition and remains here until it comes out in the following February or March. The insect thus remains in the ground for about 11 months. The period when thrips larvae are dropping from the trees and entering the ground continues from about April 10th to 30th and all have left the trees by the 8th or 10th of May. Many careful examinations of soil from under trees in infested orchards have been made to determine the depth to which the thrips larvae penetrate before they locate permanently. With ordinary conditions of cultivation it has been found that about 80 per cent of the thrips are within 8 or 9 inches of the surface float around in the ordinary soap and lime-sulphur sprays with no apparent inconvenience. Dry sprays are also absolutely ineffective. Emulsions of oil combined with crude carbolic acid or crude creosote are extremely penetrating, in reality killing almost every thrip that they touch, even when applied in a very weak form, but these combinations are just as violently injurious to blossoms and leaves as to the thrips so they cannot be considered at all. Poisonous sprays are ineffective because the thrips feed upon the inner parts of the plant and not from the outer layers where the poison would be placed. Black Leaf Tobacco Extract diluted 1 to 50 has been very successful but this spray seems to demand a somewhat heavier and more penetrating liquid than water alone, as a carrying agent. The distillate oil emulsion in 6 per cent dilution is almost as deadly as the Black Leaf, but there will follow some injury from the spray unless conditions are altogether favorable. The oil spray has the advantage of being heavier, of being forced more easily into the buds, and penetrating the oil coating offered by the thrips. This emulsion, however, reduced to a 1½ or 2 per cent solution can be applied with apparent safety to all trees and combined with Black Leaf diluted 1 to 60 or 1 to 70 it furnishes a spray having all the required carrying, penetrating and killing qualities desired. This is the spray which is now recommended. It can be applied with safety to opening buds but should not be used on trees in full bloom. This spray can be applied to trees immediately after the blossoms have fallen, and later on the foliage for adults and larvae. The first application should properly be made when the thrips are coming from the ground in maximum numbers and before the cluster buds are too for advanced. This period in the San Jose district is early in March, but it, of course, differs for the several varieties of fruits. An effort should be made to kill all adults in an orchard before March 15th, when practically all thrips are out of the ground and when oviposition begins. The Black Leaf Tobacco Extract can be purchased from local agents. Directions for preparing the distillate oil emulsion, with other recommendations for plowing and spraying are prepared in a new circular on The local office February 27, 1908 charges made by the been sustained, and not contain such vposits as would suv under the mining The claimants decision of the local Commissioner of Office, but on Au Commissioner susflicers.

Since the claim more or less mine which successful done in the past 265,000 acres have braced some minne the claimants hining operation Many careful examinations of soil from under trees in infested orchards have been made to determine the depth to which the thrips larvae penetrate before they locate permanently. With ordinary conditions of cultivation it has been found that about 80 per cent of the thrips are within 8 or 9 inches of the surface and within reach of the plow although previous conditions of cultivation and the texture of the soil regulate the depth to which thrips penetrate to a very large degree. In one orchard 74 per cent of the thrips were between the surface and 6 inches deep, 88 per cent down to 7 inches and 94 per cent between the surface and 8 inches. In a second orchard 71 per cent were within 8 inches and 80 per cent within 9 inches of the surface. The insect passes through its pupal development during October, November and December within its little cell in the ground and it is then more sensitive to mechanical injury than at any other time of the year. Our method of plowing followed by harrowing, and a second cross-plowing, followed by careful harrowing or cultivation in October, November and December, or after the first early rains, breaks the most of these thrips from their protecting cells and usually so injures them that most will die. By actual tests it has been found that from 70 to 73 per cent of all the thrips in the ground may thus be killed by the plowing method alone. This treatment is not sufficient, however, to protect the trees if the infestation is bad, and spraying in March and April should also be adopted in conjunction with the plowing.

Rittu, a sugar-beet expert of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, was here and at Hamilton City yesterday and today. At the latter place he was to confer with E. C. Hamilton relative to establishing a forty-acre sugar beet experimental station for the reduction of germ culture in the beet seed. This is being taken up by the government, which hopes eventually to abolish the necessity of thinning the beet fields. In each beet seed are from five to seven growing germs, from which a like number of plants will spring when the seed is planted. With the germs reduced to one, but one shoot will come forth. The reduction of germs is accomplished by cross-pollination and one-germ beets are superior in quality and save the cost of thinning. Alfalfa hay for sale.

Yard and the North California Mining Company Lose Lands (Special to The Gazette) WASHINGTON, July 24.—First Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Frank Pierce, has just made a decision declaring invalid certain mining locations claimed by H. H. Yard and the North California Mining Company for land in the Plumas National Forest, California. This decision is the culmination of a controversy between the government and the mining claimants, which was actively begun on March 16, 1907. Before that date it was found that Mr. Yard and the North California Mining Company were claiming approximately 260,000 acres of heavily timbered land, worth approximately $5,000,000, and located in the Plumas National Forest, in Butte and Plumas counties, California. Through co-operation between the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service a geological examination was made of part of the land. In consequence of this examination the North California Mining company relinquished locations covering about 34,000 acres of land, and charges were made by the Commissioner of the General Land Office against locations for 11,000 acres. Mr. Yard and the company contended that the Department of the Interior had no jurisdiction to determine the validity of the locations. The testimony at the hearing before the local land office at Susanville, California, shows that the 11,000 acres were covered with about 160,000,000 board feet of timber, valued at about $320,000, and that although the claims had been held by Mr. Yard and the Mining Company for from two to five years, there had been recovered only about three dollars worth of gold. HAY FEVER RAVAGES More Prevalent in the United States Than Other Countries In an exhaustive paper on hay fever read at a meeting of the Society of the Alumni of Bellevue Hospital, Dr. W. W. Carter said that the disease, which will be making its annual visitation soon, was not recognized 100 years ago. Moreover, he said, this annoying complaint is more prevalent in the United States than in any other country, and it has increased to a remarkable extent in the last fifty years. These are some of the striking features of the paper: "Hay fever is an affection of comparatively recent date; there is no positive evidence that it was recognized prior to 1819, when Bostock read before the Royal Medico-Chirurgical Society of London a paper entitled 'A Periodic Affection of the Eyes and Chest,' in which he described his own affliction and attributed it to the sunshine and heat in summer. "The remarkable increase of this malady during the past half century in this country at once arrests our attention and we seek an explanation. There are within our boundaries in the neighborhood of 100,000 hay fever subjects, and this number is being rapidly augmented. Hay fever, like other reflex neuroses, is preeminently an affection of civilized man, and is most common in our large cities, where it is increased with the increased demands for nerve energy. On the other hand, the farmer who comes in contact with more pollen than any one else is practically never affected. In this case the immunity may have been acquired by constant contact with the exciting cause of the disease; but what is..." tended that the Department of Interior had no jurisdiction to determine the validity of the locations. The testimony at the hearing before the local land office at Susanville, California, shows that the 11,000 acres were covered with about 160,000,000 board feet of timber, valued at about $320,000, and that although the claims had been held by Mr. Yard and the Mining Company for two to five years, there had been recovered only about three dollars worth of gold and this recovery was made during six months of prospecting after the hearing had been ordered. The local office at Susanville, on February 27, 1908, decided that the charges made by the government had been sustained, and that the land did not contain such valuable mineral deposits as would subject them to entry under the mining laws. The claimants appealed from the decision of the local officers to the Commissioner of the General Land Office, but on August 27, 1908, the Commissioner sustained the local officers. The decision of the First Assistant Secretary Pierce now finally sustains the Commissioner. It is the policy of the government to foster and encourage mining. The law permits prospecting for minerals upon National Forests and allows the perfection of mining claims upon National Forests to the same extent as upon the vacant public land. The policy of both the Department of the Interior and the Forest Service is to foster and encourage legitimate mining operations, and not to attack mining locations which are believed to be in any way valid, as well as assist in the development of valid mining claims. The law authorizes, and the Forest Service does grant, the free use of timber to miners in the preliminary development of their claims, unless there is a sufficient stand of timber for that purpose upon the claims. The locations made by Mr. Yard and the Mining Company have retarded the timber development of a rich section of the country lying along the newly constructed Western Pacific Railroad. Since the claims are located in a more or less mineralized country, in which successful mining has been done in the past, the locations for 265,000 acres have necessarily embraced some mineral lands, and as the claimants have carried on no mining operations, these mineral eminently an affection of civilized man, and is most common in our large cities, where it is increased with the increased demands for nerve energy. On the other hand, the farmer who comes in contact with more pollen than any one else is practically never affected. In this case the immunity may have been acquired by constant contact with the exciting cause of the disease; but what is more likely, it comes as a compensation for his simple habits of life. "Hereditary plays a most important part in this affection, and is recognized by various writers in from 40 to 50 per cent of their cases. In my own practice in fully 75 per cent of cases more than one member of the family is affected. In one New York family, where the father and two uncles are affected, five out of seven children have hay fever and two of these have also asthma. "In regard to the use of drugs, with a view to curing the affection, I must say that my own experiences have been most unsatisfactory." Palliative Measures—If the patient is unable to go to a hay fever immune district, he should avoid excitement and hurry. Exercise increases the number of respirations, consequently the amount of pollen inhaled. Then, too, the perspiration is a solvent for the pollen, and in the susceptible subject causes the face to itch and burn. Bright sunlight and dust aggravate the symptoms. The skin, bowels and kidneys should be kept active and the diet must be frugal. Well-known reflex excitants, such as shell fish and strawberries, should be avoided, and meat should be taken only sparingly.—New York Times.

But a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye; And he sang every night as he went to bed: 'Let us be happy down here below— The living should live, though the dead be dead,' Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago.

San Juan Capistrano Yard and the Mining Company have retarded the timber development of a rich section of the country lying along the newly constructed Western Pacific Railroad. Since the claims are located in a more or less mineralized country, in which successful mining has been done in the past, the locations for 265,000 acres have necessarily embraced some mineral lands, and as the claimants have carried on no mining operations, these mineral lands have really been withheld from legitimate miners, and the mineral development of that section has been interfered with and retarded by the fraudulent claims. No effort has been made by the claimants to discover minerals upon any of the lands. The decision of the First Assistant Secretary of the Interior has established a policy which will enable the Forest Service to protect National Forest timber lands from fraudulent appropriation under guise of the mining laws. Both the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture announce that there will be no difficulty to distinguish between the proper and fraudulent use of the mining laws. The benefit of every doubt is given to miners. The greatest care is used before any report adverse to miners is accepted by the General Land Office as a basis for charges against mining claims. Only claimants who are perverting and misusing the mining laws for fraudulent purposes have anything to fear. Dr. G. W.
