MENACE TO POTATOES
IS NEARLY ABATED
State Horticultural Is Still Exer-
cising Vigilance to Keep Out
the Tubermoth

TACOMA August 5-Efforts on
the part Of the state produce inspec-
ton service, said F. A. Huntley, state
horticulturist, to prevent entrance
into this state Of potatoes from Sou
thern California infected with the
tuber moth, have been successful
thus far.
THE warnings we sent out to COM
mission merchants, shippers in South
ern California and county officials
there" said Mr.. Huntley, have re-
infected potatoes to the port of this
state. At the same time we are ex-
ercising the utmost vigilance, and
will continue to do So"
A piece of gunny sack, in which the
infected potatoes had been shipped,
and which was examined by Mr..
Huntley, was found to be covered on
the inside with tubermoths, and de-
posts of eggs from the moths were
Matched on the piece of sacking pre-
served in Mr. Huntley's office.
at is dangerous for even one tuber-
moth to be permitted to enter this
state" said Mr.. Huntley because OF
the rapid multiplicity of the insect.
One female tubermoth will deposit
two or three hundred eggs and from
few grown insects, in the course
of short time, thousands will be
Matched and the spread of the in
sect will be rapid.
| Must Destroy Shipments
The state -horticulturist reiterated
| that it is utterly impossible to fumi-
gate properly an infected shipment
of potatoes. '"The insects are SO
SMALL he said. 1.-THE puncture/ they
make in entering the potatoes cannot
| be noticed except with microscope.
Usually they enter through the eye of
the potato when but an eighth of an
inch long. AS they grow they make
a larger hole in the inside of the po-
| tato. and soon honeycomb the entire
plant. Frequently the eggs are de-
posted on the stems and the small in
sects when Matched creep down into
the tuber root of the plant. The only
way to prevent the insect from get
ting foothold in this state and de-
stroying the entire potato crop is to
destroy every shipment of infected DO
tatoes received and this is what we
are doing. Even the sacks in which
they are shipped also must be de-
stroyed. for the moths are found on
the inside of the sacks in which the
potatoes are shipped
Mr.. Huntley showed a piece of gun
ny sack in which he said infested DO
tstoes had been shipped. 1t was coy
cred with moths which had been fat

Gilbert Not Worried
Mr.. Gilbert of the Richey & Gilbert
company, when spoken to last evening
with regard to his letter as sent out
to the dealers, said that he had no
objection to 1t being made as public

His effort was merly one to get away

ers for that which this valley is pro-

suggested, 1t is better to do something
than nothing for the valley and it's

ERECT LARGE DRY
 CLEANING PLANT Represents S2O,OOO Invest ment = Laundries Will
 Co-Operate With It

By far the largest investment yet to be made locally in a dry cleaning busi- ness was announced yesterday by the E. & w. Dry Cleaning company. The firm is erecting building on Nineteenth street, south, between Avenue E and Avenue r, which will represent an in- vestment of S2o,oo0.
 The officers are J. L. Jones, president; c. E. Moss. vice president and George Blinn, secretary. The company will in- stall the latest machinery for the work proposed and will act in cooperation with four of the laundries of this city. The companies to cooperate with the new concern as announced include the Elm pire, Excelsior, Birmingham and Ameri- can laundries. Under the new agree ment one may send articles to the new company by any of the wagons of the four companies interested indirectly in the new company. In addition 1t is stated that the new company will have its own automobile delivery service. It is stated that P J. Deuser of Germany, one of the best known experts in the business will be in charge of the plant as super intendent. Ills experience is varied and he is said to be thoroughly familiar with the work to be done.
 The building which is being erected is said to be one of the most modern plants of it's kind in the entire south there being few comparable to it in this section. It is stated that the company will put more capital into the business than any concern has invested in sim liar business in the south and that ade- quate insurance will be carried on all property intrusted to the company.

LANDS RELEASED FOR SETTLEMENT

Montgomery, May 4.-(Special.)- )-The Alabama branch of the federal land of flee, located here, has. been informed that tracts of government lands aggregating something like 10000 acres, have been re- leased for homestead purposes and are now open to entry. The government lands are located in Jefferson, Walker, Fayette and Tuscaloosa counties, and were re- leased by an act of Congress on April 22. 1912 secured by the passage of bill by Joseph F. Johnston.
 All these lands are classed as rich in minerals, consisting mainly of coal and iron ore, and they will probably be home- steaded by those at present occupying them. The present occupants are chiefly 'squatters, many of whom have spent a great deal of money in developing the lands. These settlers will probably throng the land office here within the next few days~for the purpose of making entry for the possessions they hold
 The general land office at Washington in advising Nathan H. Alexander, regis ter at the federal building, that the lands had been released and were open to en- try, also informed him that some reser- yations were to be made on the part of the government in the making of entries to claimants. These reservations have to do principally with the right of the gov- ernmert to prospect for. mine and remove all coal or other mineral contained on the lands.

THE METHODISTS DENOUNCE
 EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN

Minneapolis, May 4-Employment of children under Is years old in factories and textile mills was denounced at the general conference of the Methodist Epis- copal church today.
 To investigate charges that fin the tex tile mills alone 100 baby hands are year ly lost as a sacrifice to the greed for wealth." and to formulate an appeal to all churches to fight for national legislation against child labor, a commission of b ministers was ordered appointed whose duty 1t will be to go thoroughly into the subject It was announced that the 1900 ministers of the church would institute vigorous warfare against what was as- serted to be one of the greatest of modern evils.
 Bringing the matter before the confer erce in the form of resolution, Henry J. Colxor of Denver asked for adoption of the iollowng:
 That we, representatives from the whole earth, declare our utter condem- nation and most determined hostility to this shameful custom in our own fair America, and respectfully urge our churches, officials in state and nation, both executive, judicial and legislative. to do their utmost to abolish this great evil from our national domain. and the whole earth"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-05-05

Tn their greed for gain, employers have in this country put about 2 5OO,00O children under IS years of age in mills, mines, fac tories and messenger service" MT. Coker declared "Of the s0O0O children in the textile mills we are informed that 10000 are under 12 years of age, and in those mills yearly about 100 baby hands are ciit off by machinery. In the glass factories there are 7500 children, in sawmils 5000, and in cigar factories 12000 children handle cigars at the rate of cents per thousand. This Is an appalling commen- tary on modern civilization Who is it we hear crying in the street corners Suf- fer the little chindren to come unto me- Is 1t Jesus Christ, or the greed for gaing It is about time we realize the suffering and calamity which modern civilization IS imposing upon the children"
 Henry Wade Rogers of New Haven, Conn, has offered resolution which provides an age limit for bishops and for their retirement for active service, when they have reached the age of 75, The resolution also provides that the bishops may be relieved from travel when they reach the age of 70, if the board of bishops so desires" Tn either case they are per- mitted to choose their own place of resi- dence after retirement

put up to the legislature, and probably many more of vast importance to the state. These are also questions which it is believed will induce Governor ONeal to assemble the state lawmakers in spe- cial session during the present summer. According to many prominent officials the governor will Issue his call for. an extra session within a very shore time. and the session promises to be one Of the most important that has ever been convened in Alabama
 It is improbable that there will be any important liquor legisla tion to be com sidered as it is not believed that the gov ernor will incorporate this questiop in his call. The liquor laws of the state, while deficient in many respects, are regarded as adequate, and 1t is certain that no seri- ous consideration will be given to this subject unless the supreme court should decide that the present local option laws are violatiye of the states consultations.
