PCRE INSPECTIONS AND FfNGL
CfDES

At the last session Of Congress a
Dill was introduced in both the senate
ana House providing for the govern
nent control of the purity of insecti-
cioes and fungicides in much the same
manner as the purity of foods and
uFugs is now controlled. This bill
was introduced at the instance of the
ASSOCIATION OF Economic Entomolo-
S1sts With the increased use of
manufa ctured insecticides and fungi
cldes. It has become very necessary
tnat their quality should he Standa rd-
fzed SO that definite recommendations
Tor their use may be made with ac-
curacy and 50 that adulterated and
inferior articles may not be imposed
upon the farmer Several confer
ences of entomologists, agricultural
chemists and manufacturers have
been held and practically all Of the
large manufacturers of insecticides
and funsicides are heartily in favor
OF the measure which is drawn to
protect the legitimate interests of
both tho consumer and the reputable
manufacturer.
The measure has been again intro
duced at the present Congress in the
House tH. r. 221S) by Hon. A. A.
Hayes, of California, and has been
referred to the Committee on Inter
state Commerce. Practically all the
leading horticultural and agricultural
organizations of the country have en-
dOrSed the measure. 1t seems pro Oba-
bic that the bill Will be passed by
rongress if the members of Congress
become convinced that the people
wish and need such legislation. At
the last session of Congress the biz
was faEorably reported by the Sena te
Committee on Agriculture but this re-
port was SO late in the session that
- Il
vote at the short session. In their re-
port this committee stated as follows:
The bill was referred to the Sec
retary Of Agriculture with the request
for his views thereon and the meas
ure as amended is exactly in line with
his recommendation. The legislation
has the unanimous endorsement of
practically all the organizations OF
practical growers III the country as
we'll as the National Grange. the Ma
tional Apple Growers Congress, the
American Association of Economic
EntomOlogists and in fact all the or
CARNATIONS representing the conSum-
ers On the other hand practically
all Of the leading manufacturers are
heartily in favor of the measure
Your committee considers the legis-
lation Of vital interest to the fruit and
truck growers of the country and
recommends its enactment in law.
If the fruit and truck growers and
farmers of the country desire such
legislation for the control Of the puri-
ty of insecticides and fungicideS they
should let their Congressman hear
from them in favor of the passage OF
this measure tH. r. 221S) at once
and make their position clear as tc
the need of such a law.
If YOU are interested in this write
your Congressman at once stating
that the bill is before the Committee
on Interstate Commerce and YOU wish
their influence towards favorable re-
port by the committee and prompt ac-
ton by the House. Write at once as
the matter is being pushed for speedy
consideration. If every one interested
will thus show their interest the law
can probably be passed.

RULE OF THE SEA.
Old Whaling Law Applied to a Twice
Caught Cod.

Caught Cod.
That etiquette is observed among
the fishermen that Journey TO the fish
ing banks was discovered 10y an anna
teur angler on his first trip.
The amateur hooked Goldfish. but
his line parted just as the fish was
above the water. Back fell the cod
dsh, carrying with him two slnkcrs
and the hook.
Twenty minutes later another angler
cried out that he had captured cod
with two sinkers and hook The
amateur went up TO the angler, who
appeared 10 be an old salt. and aeked
for his hook and sinkers, which had
his name stamped on them. He WINS
surprised when the old salt told him
TO take the fish also.
According 10 the rules generally fol
lowed on the fishing boats. the second
angler was entitled 10 the FISH. but the
cooks and sinkers should he returned
10 their owner. The old angler ex-
planned why he wanted to give up the
Ash.
IL seems that he had followed the
sen q great part OF his life When n
young man he was whaler. and, ac-
cording to whaling law. dead whale
belongs 10 the ship whose name ap-
pears on the hnrpoOn that killed IT,
Therefore the old salt figured that the
amateur owned the Goldfish he had
taken.--New York Sun
