and where genial temperatures are
maintained, as in greenhouses, you
can figure out how many genera
tions there will be throughout the
year.
As rule the greenhouse thrips
devotes itself to the foliage Of the
plant. BY rasping and piercing the
leaf surface the sweet Juices are
sucked out. A white spot on the
lower leaf surface plainly tells the
story. Soon the leaf shows blotches
and dead areas. The final willing
and dropping Of the leaf tell the
story as 1t progresses. The beauty
Of the plant Is further destroyed
by black spots caused by the insect
dropping minute specks of fluid on
the foliage.
In order to get the upper hand of
these invaders they must be gassed
by a fumigation Of hydrocyanic acid
gas, tobacco smudges from the liquid
extract or spraying the plant with
insecticides. These applications are
drastic enough to suffocate the foe
and save the plant-if done at the
first signs Of their invasion.

our hats" and the entire program
contemplated had been proposed by
men in the industry who want to
stay in business"

For such a very tiny insect the
scientific name is most imposing.
The amount of damage this minute
creature accomplishes is a problem
which calls forth must effort and
money on the part Of flower growers.
ChrysanthemumS, as well as many
other ornamental flowers and
greenhouse plants, are subject to
the attacks of minute, slender, active
insects known as thrips. These
creatures belong to a distinct order
of insects whose mouth parts are
very different from those of other
insects, being intermediate in struc-
ture between those of sucking and
chewing insects. There are several

their youth the full-grown larvae

time they fast. Four to six days

Texas has Cold Winter.

Mrs. Sylverton Loftness received a
letter last week from Mrs. E. w.
Kingsley of Rockport, Texas, in which
she stated that they had a very cold
winter there. Everything froze to
the ground and some things were
killed by frost. Most of the crops
are about a month behind time.
The Kingsleys were former resi-
dents of this locality, but have pur-
chased home in Rockport and are
raising chickens. The letter also
stated that many chickens and cattle
froze to death as there are not many
good barns there. The Kingsleys
saved nearly all of their chickens by
putting up paper boxes and boards as
protection. Perhaps Minnesota isn't
so bad after all.

State examinations occur on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, May q, %
and 20. Most schools will have the
annual picnic on Friday, May 81.
Six of our sectional play days were
held on schedule last week. The

completely postponed because of bad
weather.
Only three rural schools missed play

About $50 pupils and 10 teachers from

one play day at Sturgeon Lake Fri
day. 1t was one of the largest and
best this year. In addition to the
two spelling contests and about so
individual contests in running and
jumping, the days program consisted
of complete tournaments for eight
diamondball teams and four volley-
ball teams. About 80 relay teams took
part in the relays. Over 400 prize
ribbons were given to the contest
ants at Sturgeon Lake.
We are very grateful for the help
given us the past few years by the
Federal WPA recreation directors.
This year we have the efficient help
of Fred McKusick, Mr.. Strelow and
Mrs. Estella Mullins. To carry out
our play day schedule properly we
need the help of all of our teachers,
recreation directors and others. We
appreciate the splendid cooperation
of every one.
