CATERPILLARS.

Now is the time to destroy caterpillars.
The eggs from which they are produc-
&c, are now TO be found in the branches on
the twigs of fruit trees. BY taking off
these punches the vermin are destroyed
In the egg. The color of the punches
is now 50 much darker than the bark of
the twig, that they are easily found; it
will, by degrees become lighter, until
it will be very near the color of the bark.
The eggs are laid in July. They re-
main where laid unaffected by change Of
weather by frost or heat, until spring,
when they are Matched by the flowing
ofthe sap, and vegetative power of the
twig. Each bunch ofeggs will produce
a swarm Of caterpillars that will have
nest by themselves. The nest is usually
built on the branch that bore the twig
on which the eggs were laid. AS cater
pillars have no disposition to leave the
tree on which they were Matched, until
the time when they leave their nest and
separate to come together no more, it is
very easy to keep small trees free from
their nests, by destroying the eggs.
| found, the first week in July, last
year, that many punches of eggs were
then laid on my peach trees, and
small apple trees. [ have since taken
from these trees, more than FIVE times
the number of punches of eggs that l
have ever before seen on such trees in
one year. Fin other places, such guam
titles of eggs are laid as were on my trees,
and they be not destroyed before hatch
ing, the caterpillars, next spring, will
eat all before them, in spite of all oppo-
sition. Selected.

UNITED STATES BANK.
Letter from VIM. H. Crawford 10 MIR. In



DEAR SIR-Your friendly letter on the
subject of the Bank ofthe U. States, has
been received by due course of mail
The opinion which | formed of the con-
stitutionality s. expediency of the Bank
of the u. S. when | was a member of
the Senate, was the result ola careful ex-
animation Of the constitution ofthe U. S.
That opinion is recorded in two speeches
which made ia the Senate in the year
1911. Since that time bad no occasion
of reviewing the question. My opin-
ion remains uhaltered. | was Secreta-
ry. of the Treasury more than eight
years, and during that time had ample
evidence of the great utility ofthe Bank
of the U. S. in managing the fiscal con-
Germs of the Union.
am persuaded that no man, what
ever his preconceived opinions may be,
can preside over the Treasury one year,
without being deeply impressed with the
expediency of the Bank of the U. S. in
conducting the finances of the Union
The provision in the constitution which
gives Congress the power to pass all
laws which may be necessary and pro.
per to carry into effect the enumerated
powers, gives Congress the rightto pass
the Bank bill, unless a law most pro-
per TO carry into effect the power to col
lect and distribute revenue, should be ex-
cluded by that provision. The oppo-
nents ofthe constitutionality of the bank,
place great stress upon the necessary,
contained in the grant of power, and in
sist that no law can be necessary but
such, that without which the power
could not be carried into effect Now
this construction appears to me to be in
defensible. 1t does seem to me, that the
words necessary and proper" cannot
exclude law that is most proper to car
ry the power into effect. Yet the un-
constitutionality Of the banl. can be pro-
nounced only upon that construction
1t does appear to me that the trainers Of
the constitution could not have intended
to exclude the passage of law most pro-
per to carry power into effect, because
1T might be carried imperGectly into eff
feet by another law. My construction
of the grant of power to pass all laws
which may be necessary to carry the e.
Enumerated powers into effect includes
the power to pass all laws which are
necessary into effect in the most perfect
and complete manner and not in an in
complete and imperfect manner.
have not seen a complete develop
ment of the Presidents plan of Bank.
It'll possible that by his plan the trans
mission of the revenue may be effected,
but the safety Of the public deposits can
not be effected by the Presidents plan.
The advantages Of this security TO the
public is incalculable. It ought not to
be relinquisbed, unless it can be satislac-
torily proved that the u. S. Bank is
unconstitutional.
This, l think, cannot be satisfactorily
shown. My speeches are recorded and
can be re-published Unnecessary. Tbev
