in recording the fact that the temper
ance movement gained ground all over
the world during the last year
A hundred years ago intoSicants
were commonly consumed in society
and private circles. To be drunk WAS
not considered shame. The degrad-
ing and harmful effects of liquor were
but imperfectly understood. Today
there are nine states in the Union,
though Utah Is not one of the number,
that have outlawed the liquor traffic.
They cover an area of 477.459 square
frfies and hnva 1s.3ol.oo inhabitants.
In addition there are 3f5 cities under
prohibition, and numerous county dis
tricts in which the sale of liquor is
illegal.
During the year influence was also
brought to bear upon the Congress OF
I the United States, and especially upon
the speaker Of the house, resulting
in the passage of the bill Familiarity
known as the Knox bill. Under this
new federal law the &C. O. d., ship

To Inspect Orchards.

The appointment has been announced
announced by the Maryland Agricultural
College of local inspectors of the State
Horticultural Department, who were
given a course at the College last winter
and will begin the inspection of the
orchards of the State within the next
week for the San Jose scale and peach

locality.
Certain election districts of each county
of the State are inspected each summer.
The local inspectors visit the orchards of
their districts and are directed to request
the growers to accompany them to their
orchards. Thus the inspectors can point
out to the growers any injurious insect
pest or plant disease that may be present
among the trees and give them the best in
formation known as to its control.
The funds of the State Horticultural De-
partment will allow only certain area of
the State to be Inspected each year. but
the conduct of the work under present
proportions has been a great benefit to
the orchard interests of the State in CON-
trolling the ravages of San Jose scale and
peach yellows.
