wide variety of receptacles in which
the ballots arrive at the department of
State.
a pasteboard shoe box crushed into
an almost unacceptable mass, with
one end hanging by shred and the
ballots III view contained two slips of
paper. According to the clerks returns
they are two votes for Roosevelt but
how they ever travelled from the pre-
cinct in which they We're cast, Nash
vile Plantation, to Augusta without
being lost is a mystery
The package of ballots from Levant
was encased in a specially made strong
box, 10 inches square by two inches
deep and nothing short of burglar S
tools win ever open it. The bottom is
built into the sides and securely nail
ed; the cover is made to fit within the
sides and is sunken, evidently for the
purpose of holding the ballots firmly,
and is then nailed in very securely.
Around the whole is strand of hay
wire let into a saw scarf at the cor
ners and twisted hard at the lap. At
least one State seal is in evidence at
every JOINT and even the lap joint OF
the wire is covered with a seal. A large
sheet of paper is pasted over the Gov
er with "a seal. a large sheet OF paper
Is pasted over the cover of the box,
bearing the legend, This box contains
ballots cast at town of LeYant, Nov 5,
1912. c. r. Wilson, town clerk"
The ballots from Pleasant Ridge
Plantation came in between two pieces
of pasteboard plentifully besmeared
with red sealing wax and State seals.
The Madrid ballots are encased in u
cut down shoe box about the thickness
of the cover. Both these packages are
thoroughly wrapped with Irvine ana
the knots covered with sealing wax.
St John and Winterville plantations,
in spite of all that has been written
and said against it, sent in the regular
ballot boxes with the ballots in pack
ages inside the boxes. The ballots
will be stored with the others at the
depar tment of State and the boxes
will be returned to the plantation
clerks.

men from Massachusetts were present;
also two representatives from the for
estry Department of New York state.
Many valuable points were brought
out at this discussion ard there is
no question but that the federal board
will consider 1t necessary to quarantine
different sections of New EnglaEu
where infestations of the Gypsy moth
are known to prevail. The inspection
will not be SO rigid. however, where
the shipments are made from one IN
tested part of New England to anoth-
er as it will in the case of shipments
to other parts of the country that are
not infested by the Gypsy moth.
It will not make a material change in
this State, as we are practically in
specting all shipments from the in
tested sections by the State men or
the federal men; but the board pro-
poses to require an inspection OF
Christmas trees and greens in addition
to lumber, telegraph poles, railroad
ties and other forest products. 1t is
not expected this quarantine to take
place. however, until practically all or
our Christmas trees are shipped out OF
the State, this season.
In relation to the brown-tail moth,
this matter was thoroughly discussed
and Com. of Agriculture John p. Buck
lev. VINO attended the hearing. be-
lieyes It will be the opinion of the
board that it will not be necessary to
quarantine sections of the State that
are known to be fnrested with the
brown-tan moth, as all Maine nursery
efeelx and forest products are inspect
ed ana it is an easy matter to detect
brown-tail nests on branches of trees.
The case is much different from that
of the Gypsy moth which deposits its
eggs in lumber piles, stone walls
crevices of trees, brush piles, etc.
Chairman Marlatt read q letter from
Senator Obadiah Gardner in relation
to tie quarantine of sections of this
State in which he made a strong APP
peal to the board in regard to plac-
ing the quarantine so as not to inter-
fere with the shipping of lumber and
forest products of out State.
