A SeedIeSS Persimmon.

The latest sensation in the seedless
frult line reported at Washington is
seedless persimmon. The officials
OF the Department of Agriculture the
other day received visit from Mr..
John II. Drury, who brought with him
a specimen of seedless native persim-
mons from his place near the national
capital.
The general impression is that the
seedless persimmon is either non-ex-
istent or nearly SO in this country A
seedless variety of this fall luxury is
not, however, a new thing, but, on the
other hand, number of trees are scat
tered throughout the South bearing
seedless persimmons. Seedless speci-
mems are occasionally found in the big
Japanese variety and they are rather
rare and the flavor is nothing to be
compared TO the native sort.
number of instances are known by
the officials Of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry of solitary persimmon trees
bearing seedless fruit, but when pollen
from other persimmon trees in the
neighborhood is brought in contact
with the flowers of the seedless sort
the resultant fruit will be full of seed.
The fruit brought to the Department
of Agriculture by Mr.. Drury proves to
be a little smaller than the average
native persimmon. The specimens
when cut across were absolutely seed
less and while the fruit was compare
lively small it had really more meat

Guy rLLIoTT MICHEL.

Farmers of the United States in adj

tell than they do to all three of the

ease Is one which is merciless and
overbearing, paying no attention what

the agriculturist each year, calling for
MS dues unremittingly, and gloating
over the misfortunes of his tenant
The tax collector in this case, however,
- the Insect. The losses resulting

all plant products of thessoil, both in
their growing and in their stored state,
together with those on livestock, ex-
coed the entire expenditures of the Ma
ffional Government, including the pen
sion roll, and the maintenance of the
hrmy and the navy. Enormous as is
fthe total value of all farm products of
this country IL often would be much

work of insects. According to figures
compiled by the Department Of Agri-
culture the estimate is made that the
Total value of farm products during the
last year amounted to $4,000, OOO, 900.

Vegetable and other truck crops are
especially subject to insect injury. and
furthermore in the case of these crops
there is always a large expenditure
for the control Of insects. The orchard
and smaller fruits suffer heavier loss
from insect pests. both directly and be-
cause of the expensive methods of
treatment necessary to prevent still
greater losses. There are several hum
dred insects which depredate on the
roots, trunk, foliage and fruit of the

cereal crop OF the United States. Of

year Of 81 PIG, 000,0 O0 While corn is
less subject TO insect damage and
wheat next, the most important cereal
which is the corn product, would be
considerably greater were it not for
important insect pests. The corn root
worm causes an annual average loss
OF at least per cent. Of the crop or
some $40, 00O, 900. The next most inn
portant insect pest Of this cereal IS
the bollwOrm or earworm. This in

The State Board of Health Of Massa-

While this revelation Of the Massa-
