Dear Mr.. Forbes

This scale is known as Pulvinaria

names, such as cottopy maple scale,
grape vine scale, etc. This is quite
common on both maple and grapes.
It's outbreaks are generally sporadic
and brief in duration owing to a
number Of diseases and parasites to
which it is more or less subject and
which usually hold it fairly in sub

are just beginning to be pushed out
from under the scales contain the
eggs which should begin to hatch be.

ID TAKE UP MINE
 BILLS THURSDAY

It will be battle for the strongest before the house committee of the leg isature Thursday when the bill for mine regulations prepared by the opera tors association, and that prepared by the miners come up for consideration.
 It was stated here yesterday by Capf. James " Allen, that through the con sideration of Senator Hugh Morrow the mine workers had been assured that no 3snap judgment would be taken against them and that the operators bill would await the drafting of the miners bill before being considered by the house committee.
 The operators bill has been reported favorably by the senate committee and passed by the senate. It was to have been presented to the house committee a few days ago, but the desire Of the miners to draft one was concurred in by the operators and the two will go to the hoJse committee on an equal footing.
 It was stated that the one that was the best would be reported favorably by the house committee and that the one so reported would be, enacted into law.
 The greatest interest is manifest hers in industrial circles over the cdnsidera- tion of the measure and as a result the following will leave this morning to appear as advocates of the mine opera tors measure:
 George B. Mccormack, Jones G. Moore, Captain James V. Allen, w. A. Gibson and others.
 The miners will also send delega tion down, which will probably include J. T. Kennemar. J. c. Clemo and others.

MARD| GRAS IS
 IN FULL BLAST

New Orleans, February 27.-The 1911 Mardi Gras season was officially opened this afternoon with the arrival of Rex, monarch of the carnival and his elab- crate suite on the royal watch Isla De Lizeon. The naval pageant which mark ed the passage of the Kings yacht up the Mississippi was the most gorgeous in the history of the city The harbor was alive with craft bedecked in the carnival colors, the docks were lined with thou sands of visitors and townspeople and when the landing was made at the foot of Canal~ street the footing of whistles and ringing of bells was deafening.
 The land parade was the most imposing military spectacle witnessed in this city in recent years, owing to the participa- tion of large attachments of marines and sailors.
 At the head of the parade Rex rode isl his royal float, followed by his gaily uni formed attendants mounted and in car riages. Seven hundred American ma rines and sailors participated. Next in tachmehts of the National Guard of Louisiana cadets from military schools uniformed companies from the various carnival organizations and mounted po- licemen.
 At the City hall Mayor Behrman deliv- |eered to Rex the keys of the city, and from that hour two days of unrestrained revelry began. It is estimated that 1OO,- GOO visitors are in the city.
 Proteus, the God of Frivolity, appeared on the streets of New Orleans tonight with his merry "Krewe" in series Of 20 tableaux, depicting scenes from The Last Days of Pompeii. n The annual ball of this carnival or- ganization was held at the French opera house following the parade.

question: Shall we have a progressive, decent city or not? Certainly the great majority, practically all of our citizens, want to curb the sale of whisky. When we are told 1t can't be done, we look to Atlanta and see that it is done. Atlantas way may not be the best way. It seems to involve hypocrisy; but at least it abolishes; yes, actually abolishes, the most dangerous form of intoxication. Men who really know the facts assure me that whisky cannot be bought in At lanta. Your correspondents one and all, whether by saloon or dispensary. want Birmingham delivered from the curse of indscrimnate drunkenness. My point is that for practical efficiency our industries will be damaged enormously by the sale of whisky in such ways as to reach the average man, white or black. We could have a dispensary so hedged about that it would be inaccessible and we could, if we would, with such dispensary, cut out the blind tiger. How? By permitting the sale of beer and light wines, condi- toned on their paying reasonable li- cense.
 The fact is that until the vast majority of the people are more educated than at present we cannot flegislate for them as though they were plaster saints or arch angels. A very large number of them have the drinking habit Atlanta gives them their beer, but refuses the madden ing spirits. and they are satisfied and -ef- ficient
 Shall we take back seat and let At lanta, with superior efficiency, sit In front and smile? Shall we with far superior resources cultivate murderers and hold IDS and suicides instead ~pf workers! That I take to be our present question.

CAREFULLY GUARD BATTLESH|P SECRET. To Investigate Possible Dis closure of Government
 Secret Plans

Washington, February 27.-Resolutions were adopted today by the Senate calling upon the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Navy for information as to wheth- CT the Argentine government has been the beneficiary of the secret plans of the United States in the construction of two battleships now for Argentine in private ship building concerns in this country.
 The resolutions were presented by Sen ator LaFollette. One. directed to the Secretary of State, ordered that official 10 supply the Senate with a full state nsant as to any negotiations on the sub feet between the state department and the Argentine government.
 Senator lGallinger moved to modify It by leaving to the discretion of the Secre- tary to furnish If not incompatible witls the interests of this government"
 MT. LaFolette resisted the amendment but 1t was voted in. A to S. The Wis ccnsil senator said it had been charged that the officials had surrendered the se- cret plans of the navy department and he argued if this was true it would be improper to give the department any dis cretion in the matter. The resolution di- rected to the Secretary of the Navy called for full information covering the entire question, the following being a specimen provision:
 Were the plans of the new battleships Nos. 34 and 35 marked confidential fur nished to the Argentine republic? Were the plans of our submerged torpedo tubes and the fire control system furnished to the Bethlehem Steel company or to the Argentine republic for use in the two bat tleships now under construction in this country for the account of the Argentine republic? Has the Argentine republic or the Bethlehem Steel company been fur nished with the books or specifications marked tconfdentiap or with any appen- Gices to such books?"

ROYAL VISITORS
By sAVOYARD

The Kaiser, the German press and the German people are all agreed that 1t would be inpoltic for the crown prince of the Carlovingian Empire. Ot- to von Bismark created thirty years ago, to visit the United States in his proposed tour around the globe. The reason is not far to seek We would make a sensation and a spectacle of him. Society would set itself upside down and turn itself inside out. The vulgar herd would mob him and the country go crazy over him. Byron said of his friend and fellow genius, Moore, f"Tommy dearly loves a lord and here in America where we are all plebeians. we all enthusiastically adore and idolize prince.

We sat at meat with the gods on high Olympus. and quaffed mighty mead to the health, the glory and the sovereign ty of this son of Plantagenet, our royal guest. It is true that at Richmond he was politely received, as any other dis tinSuished visitor would have been, and so marked was the contrast of the "function" at the capital of the "Old Dominion" and that at the metropolis of the republic that it provoked heated discussion in the public press when the secret was revealed that II. R. H. was better pleased with the way the Vir- ginians treated him than he was with the coarse demonstrations of the par venues of New York.
 The eldest son of Victoria was the only heir of a first-class crown who ever paid us a visit, and he never came again, nor did his son and heir, who was in hailing distance for a week or so when he toured Canada a year or two since. But some two score years
