INTERNAL REVENUE RECEIPTS

by Collectors Report.

While the receipts OF the Office of the
collector Of internal revenue show de-
crease OF S54 479lS for the year 1900 as
compared with the preceding year, the
falling OF is due in measure to a change
in the construction Of the law, which

Quite number of persons have spoken to me and asked me if l would | not put ringing appeal in HE BEE to the good people far and wide to muster in sturdy campaign against the worms that are now infesting our orchards and roadSides. AS l try to be of service in any good cause, glad ly take up my pen and lift my voice in this work, hoping that I may at least be the means of giving this good idea circulation. Any one has but to give a glance at our trees, whether in the orchards or in the deep woods, to see that the worms are getting an awful start This evil work that is being allowed thus silently to go on, will, ssif not checked, surely reap it's evil har- wide-awake towns, of the good citi- zens joining together to do a work which, unless they took hold, was everyboGy's business, and therefore, nobody's business. The good people of Taunton, the other day, turned out in force and cleared the districts bury ing ground. Why don't some equally public spirited citizen gather his friends and neighbors together some day, and go along our highways to burn the nests of worms out? While we sleep, the enemy sOws tares in the wheat field, while we think that the labor belongs to somebody else, mis- chief will be set in operation that years of painstaking effort cannot undo. It is a common saying that every year finds it harder to raise any sort of veg etables, grain or fruit; but will it be easier if we permit the worms to rest and multiply ab libitum? The higher orders of animal life multiply slowly, the lowest orders increase by the mil lion. A worm, brought to this country as specimen for collection, escaped; and it was not many years before the Legislature of Massachusetts had to offer large rewards for the extermina- tion of it's progeny. Evil, checked in it's embryo, is a weak foe to encounter: when allowed, unmolested, to grow, who can stop it's ravages? Come, now, good people, wake up; the honor rawaits you of being the first to do most praiseworthy deed. Who will step into line? A closing suggestion: Might not some of the money spent in road inn provements be we'll diverted to the work of destroying the worms?
