BROWNTAIL MOTH IN
 CONNECTICUT
State Entomologist Sends Out Warning Against In sect Pest.

W. E. Britton. state entomologist Aas sent word to the various nursery men of the state to hold any inporta tions of stock from France for the past six months until they can be in- specfSd. As several winter nests of the hrowntail moth have been found on into Connecticut. This is the moth which has done so much damage in Massachusetts. New Hampshire and Maine.
 At the Agricultural station in New Haven it was stated that several nests from abroad and that the station had been notified of all such shipments and are now busy inspecting them.
 The browntail moth is one of the most serious pests to vegetation in this part of the country and has done thousands of dollars worth of damage to trees and shrubs in New England and particularly in Massachusetts for the past three years. It has not gain ed any footing in this state. however, owing to the watchfulness of the state agricu1turists.
 The station has a. list of all ship ments made to nurserymen in this state and several of these have al- ready been inspected. The nests are are cut off and burned. All the other seedlings in the box. whether they show traces of the nests or not, are then dipped in a solution which de- stroys the eggs of the moth. and the packing in which the seedlings came is also burned.
 So far as the station knows at pres ent. none of the infested plants have been allowed to get by without in- spection.

VOTE WAS HEAVY AGAINST "


Montgomery, III, Neg su.-Returns
a ia AiabafA& assortment election
Indicated thS proposed AaHendment to
pl,t pEohlbitiOn ID the constitution had
Ssen defeated ~ . decisive vote.
Alabama already 10 dry" BY leEiHl&
tive enactment. From the country
precincts the reports Indicated the
farmers vote was largely against It
The majority In Montgomery county
AGAINST the amendment may 80 to l.
500. The indications are that the
amendment lost in q majority Of the
counties.
Most Of the large counties went
heavily against the measure. While
women and children were at the polls
in many places. their presence did not
affect the vote to any extent.
A significant feature Of the result IL
the fact that sentiment against the
amendment is SO widespread. Rural
precincts, small towns, and cities alike
for the most part returned substantial
majorities on the winning side.
A fact Of special interest In the
election is that this is the first time
in the history Of the state that an ex'
preston Of the whole electorate has
been secured on a prohibition CUES
ton. The state wide Prohibition bill
was passed by legislature which had
been elected on q local option plat
form and while several counties had
declared for prohibition under the
local option act, the voters Of the en-
tire state had never before been called
upon to pass on the question direct.
In Birmingham the election was the
most exciting ever held. Hundreds OF
people were crowded around each
polling place, women and children
were singing and brass bands station
ed by the anti-amendment forces were
playing patriotic airs.
