ploy of the DeBeers in South Africa,
who has been prospecting in Mont
gomery county, Texas, is showing a
number of specimens of diamonds
he has obtained. They are rough
and full OF flaws, hence have but lit
tie commercial value, but they are
indicative. Packer declares. OF pure
gems which may be found.
Packers attention was attracted
to America by hearing that dia-
monds had been found in Arkansas.
He came to Arkansas first, then, fol-
lowing what is known as the geol-
ogical drift far down into the state
of Texas, found the diamonds on the
surface, just as he had figured,
these having been thrown up, he de-
clares, by volcanic disturbances.
While his discovery is of but little
value commercially, 1t adds empha-
sis to the fact that there is dia-
mond field in Arkansas extending
far down into Texas. 1t is Packers
intention to work thoroughly the
lead he has discovered lie is op-
timistic over the outlook.

The guards that have formerly

state entomoloist OF New York.

state entomoloist of New York
In letter received from DR.
Felt yesterday By Howard o. Brow.
ne, assistant in the department OF
entomology, University Of Chacago
the New York expert makes clear
his position on the fly question,
Few people know much about
the fly controversy beyond the act
that the house fiy is carrier of the
germs of certain diseases such as
typhoid fever, intestinal disorders
and tuberculosis writes the doctor,
Good Friend Of Man.
The fly Is mans good riend and
a necessity. so long as man tolerates
filthy or unsanitary conditions
When man as an animal becomes o
clean pig the flies will naturally dis
appear
I do not see much logic in the cry
swat the deadly hy The cry
should be swat the nnsanitary con-
ditions that breed files. When man
neglects TO be clean, nature provides
scavangers in the shape Of flies to
consume the dirt, the refuse and the
disease growing matter.
Il believe that If the house fly
were exterminated that it woulo
tend to upset the balance OF nature
and result in some other plague that
might be thousand times worse
than the flies could ever be.
History Repeats Itself,
Similar things have happened

before. The defamation OF the coyo-
The English sparrow was imported

OF the house fly, there Is the pos
sibility that the stable ay might
become dominant, and infiict more
serious annoyance upon mankind and

in 1909, was $1,547301,O00, a gain
of $571, 456, 700, or SO per cent, over
1913, $4,000 in 1904. The average
capital per establishment was ap-
proximately $4,000 in 1909 and
$4,000 in 1904.
In this connection 1t should be
stated that in the census schedule
the inquiry concerning capital in
vested calls for the total amount
owned and borrowed and invested
in the business, but does not include
the value of rented property, plant
or equipment which was employed
in the conduct of manufacturing en-
terprises.
The value of products was 81,
91S,S21 900 in 1909 and $1,410,-
$4,000 in 1904, an increase OF
s507979.000 or 80 per cent. The
average per establishment was ap-
proximately 100000 in 1909 and
$4,000 in 1904.
The value of products represents
the product as actually turned out
by the factories, and does not neces-
sarily have any relation to the
amount of sales for that year. The
values under this head also include
the amount received for work done
on materials furnished by Others.
The value added by manufacture
was 100000 in 1909 and
$570,285, 900 in 1904, an increase
of sls7 200. or SO per cent. This
item formed 40 per cent of the total
value of products in 1909 and In
1904. The value added by manu-
facture represents the difference be-
tween the cost of materials used
and the value Of products after the
manufacturing processes have been
expended upon them.
