  not 
  fit 
  for 
  consumption, 
  wliich 
  he 
  used 
  as 
  a 
  manure. 
  

   He 
  made 
  an 
  infusion 
  of 
  this 
  meal, 
  about 
  J 
  lb. 
  of 
  meal 
  being 
  added 
  to 
  

   5 
  gallons 
  of 
  water 
  and 
  left 
  for 
  a 
  few 
  days 
  to 
  infuse. 
  When 
  he 
  poured 
  

   this 
  water 
  over 
  ant 
  hills 
  he 
  noticed 
  that 
  it 
  killed 
  the 
  insects, 
  but 
  owing 
  

   to 
  the 
  depth 
  to 
  which 
  the 
  nests 
  extend 
  below 
  the 
  surface 
  it 
  was 
  not 
  

   possible 
  to 
  reach 
  all 
  the 
  ants. 
  He 
  has 
  also 
  watered 
  the 
  earth 
  about 
  

   the 
  roots 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  infusion 
  and 
  found 
  that 
  the 
  trees 
  recovered 
  

   and 
  gave 
  a 
  fairly 
  good 
  yield, 
  while 
  the 
  number 
  of 
  apliids 
  diminished.

  The 
  injury 
  done 
  by 
  thrips 
  to 
  peas 
  may 
  cause 
  the 
  failure 
  of 
  the 
  crop. 
  

   The 
  species 
  particularly 
  harmful 
  to 
  these 
  plants 
  is 
  Frankliniella 
  

   robusta, 
  which 
  is 
  probably 
  identical 
  w^ith 
  Thrips 
  jnsivora, 
  described 
  

   as 
  injuring 
  peas 
  in 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Oxford. 
  This 
  species 
  w^as 
  

   not 
  recognised 
  in 
  France 
  until 
  1913, 
  when 
  it 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  the 
  

   Agricultural 
  College 
  at 
  Chesnoy, 
  near 
  Montargis. 
  Three 
  crops 
  in 
  

   succession 
  were 
  ruined 
  ; 
  the 
  thrips 
  enter 
  the 
  young 
  flowers 
  and 
  leaves
