A recent surprise to entomologists hi the finding of pear trips in New 'S<orlt state, soya a bulletin of the state age!. cultural experiment station. This in. sect has been pi sent iu California ill destructive numbers for several years, but it was unidentified In the east until the spring of 1911. In 1910, when the loss from the thrips was greatest, pear growers in the region about Germantown, N. Y., found their Kieffer crops reduced from one-third to nine -tenths or even more. The mature thrips is a very minute insect, only oue-twentieth of nn incli long, It Is dark brown in color, ap• peering almost black on casual view, and bears four peculiar long, narrow, feathery wings, which gage the thrips its old name, "fringe wings." Tint wings are simple, and each consists merely of a single strong rib bordered by closely set long hairs. These adults come from resting cells in the soil, where they hate spent the winter. The elate of emergence varies with the season, but is apparently timed to precede by a few days the swelling and opening of the pear buds. While commonly called "pear" thrips, this pest may feed or work on quite a range of plants. It was found, In New York during 1311 on apple, apricot, cherry, peach, plum and quince as well as on pear, and in Callforniaa it also attacks almond, fig, grape and English walnut, If it becomes established in the east it may have to be fought on the above fruits and probably others. As a sticking insect the thrips can- not be reached by internal poisons, but must be destroyed by contact Insecti- cides. It is not difficult to kill if reach- ed, as the spraying experiments of Photograph by New York state agr•teul- tural experiment station. RIE PIER rEAR BLOSSOM AND LEAF CLUS- TERS INJURED BY TIIIIli,'S. 1011 proved that it n-ould be destroyed by a good wetting with any of the in- secticides used. 'rile difficulty is, how ever, that the adults very soou get into the 'buds, where spray tnixtures can- not reach them directly. Early recog- nition of their presence and prompt, thorough, quickly repeated - applica- tions are necessary for success. The nicotine preparations are very effective, especially when combined with an oi1 emulsion which has a pen- etrating quality. In spraying two objects should be kept In mind --first, to kill the winged thrips working in and about expand - In buds and blossom clusters to pre- vent Injury to the tender flower and leaf parts and, second, to destroy the larvae after petals drop to reduce the number of insects which will mature in the ground.

Fa ana Garden PLANNING THE FARM HOME. Worth Any Farmer's White to Pay Closo Attention to the Details,. In the introduction of a bulletin re- cently prepared by A. T. Irwin of the Iowa Agricultural college relating to the adornment of the farm home atten- tion Is called to the fact that neat, con- veniently arranged buildings and a well kept lawn attractively bordered with trees and shrubs add greatly to the ap- pearance and value of the farm and to the happiness of its occupants. A well thought out plan is the first requisite to get these results. as in the absence of a definite scheme serious mistakes are likely to be made. '1.1his plan should include the location of buildings, drives, walks, trees, shrub- bery and every other feature which contributes either to the convenience or ornamentation of the place. The locution of the house and farm build- ings is the first consideration. Even though It happens that some or all of these are already on the ground a plan for their locatign is ituportant. New farm homes are erected to supplant old ones, and other new farm structures are added, which mate practicable a general consideration of the entire building scheme. Material improve- ments can often be made in a farm- stead by a readjustment as new build - Photograph by Iowa State college. TIMM AND DESOLATE FL1111 EOMB. Ings are put up, though the best re- sults are obtained where things are planned right from the start. In selecting a site for the house good. drainage is the first requisite. A south or east slope is generally to be pre- ferred, while a north slope is undesira- ble. 10 its location give the house greatest prominence. The farmstead first of ait provides a home, and the residence should stand out as the cen- tral and most couspicuous feature of the picture.. To place the barn and other buildings in front of the house is to reverse the logical order of things. Locate the house back far enough from the highway to afford privacy and give a good stretch of lawn in front and yet not so far. back as to suggest a spirit of exclusion nor with a Lawn so large that it cannot be properly cared for. The general farm buildings should be in the rear of the farmhouse and the stable at least 1�,0 or 200 feet away. Locate them to avoid odors be- ing carried to the house by the Sunt - mer winds. So far as practicable ar- range the farm buildings to serve as a windbreak. Locate the yards on the sieie farthest from the house, though it Is often an advan`taage to provide a paddock near the blgtrway for the dis- play of the farm herds. The business side of the farm must not be Lost sight of. and special fea- tures of the general building equip- ment may be given prominence, such as the seed house or any other impor- tant feature of the place. 00.000.00 The fartn is the basis of all industry, but for many years this country has made the mis- take of unduly assisting manu- factures, commerce and other activities that center in cities at the expense of the tartn.-- James J.
