Washington. - Complete control oil
all the country by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and virtual
elimination of state commissions from
such control, Is foreshadowed in an
opinion handed down by the Supreme
Court of the United States. the
court held that hereafter all locomo'
tiyes. cars or other equipment used on
any railroad which is highway OF In
terstate commerce, must comply with
the Federal safety appliance act.
In it's opinion the court held that
compliance with Federal law is COM
pulsory on all railroads which ere
engaged IN the transportation OF per-
sons or freight from one state to an
other. Celebrating this, however, 1t
held that the cars or equipment OF
such roads, even II engaged in such
Transportation within the confine OF a
state. must be considered as part and
parcel Of the road and, therefore, COM
pletely under the jurisdiction OF the
Federal commission.
Members OF the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who have been
embarrassed on numerous occasions
by clashes OF authority with state
commissions, are jubilant at the rul'
ing of the Supreme Court which was
unanimous. Referring to the courts
opinion. Commissioner Franklin X.
Lane declared at meant, eventually
that there is to be no dual control OF
Interstate carriers"
The determination OF the moot
question was laid down in an opinion
read by Justice Van Deyanter IN a
case instituted by the government
against the Southern Railway.
Justice Van Devanter held that the
law applied to interstate commerce,
whether at the time it was carrying
interstate or intrastate commerce. He
then held-and was sustained by the
courts unanimous opinion-that the
safety appliance act was constitu'
tional.

A NURSERY INSPECTION ACT
The State EntomoIoeist Directs Atten
tlon to Law Requiring Precautions
Against Spread of Pest.

Clemson College.-A. F.. Conradi,
state entomologist, has issued the
following bulletin on the nursery in
spection act.
Attention is directed to an act OF
the legislature of South Carolina pro-
viding for the inspection OF every nur-
sery and every place in the state
where trees, plants, shrubs, cuttings,
bulbs, buds, vines, or roots are sold,
or offered for sale, or given away.
These inspections must be completed
by November l. The object of the
legislature in enacting this law was
to prevent the dissemination OF in
sects and diseases in the state of
South Carolina and prevent the intro
duction of pests from other states and
countries This Office sent notices to
the various nurserymen whose names
are on file, requesting them to state
whether they will continue business.
These notices were merely for the
purpose of avoiding the duplication of
trips and the consequent unnecessary
expenditure Of money.
This law Is being enforced more
rigidly every season and every per-
son in South Carolina who is dealing
in plants or intends to deal in plants
this season is cautioned to notify this
Office so that proper arrangements can
be made that are in compliance with
this law. This office is destroying
shipments that are in violation OF law
and these losses could be avoided II
the simple requirements Of the law
were complied with
ut will be assumed that those deal
ers who do not apply for inspection
before November /, do not intend to
continue business this season. The
law does not only apply to insects
and diseases but it requires that the
stock be sound.
