ONION THRIPS ( Thrips t abaci Lind.) 
lassachusetts A. I. Bourne (August 2l). "The onion thrips has appeared much later 
this season than is usually the case. Have not been as abundant as 
we usually find them, although here and there they are doing consider- 
able injury. They were late in appearing owing doubtless to the 
unusual rainfall during June which held them in check. However, 
the same weather conditions interfered with cultivation so the plants 
were held up in their development to a considerable extent."

lorida Jeff Chaff in (August 10) . "This time last year the white fly was 
causing serious damage to sweet potatoes all over the State. There
