Washington.-A determined fight is
to be made in the conference on the
Panama canal bill, against the grant
ing of free passage in the canal to
American forcign-bound ships. The
conference committee held its first
meeting Monday and continued discus
sion of the measure at night ses-
sion.
Senator Brandegee. who opposed
free toll provisions in the Senate. is
understood TO stand with Representa-
tives Adnmson and Stevens of the
House conferees, in opposing what
they consider a violation of treaty
rights, and too great concession to
soreign-bound shipping. 1t is believed
from the preliminary conferences on
the measure that the free toll provi-
sion for American coastwise shipping
will be retained.
Little progress was made in the first
session of the conferees toward an
agreement ON the Bourne amendment,
to divorce railroads from control Of
competing steamship lines and the
Reed amendment prohibiting trust-con-
trolled ships from using the Panama
canal. Both houses have indorsed the
plan to prohibit railroad-owned ships
from using the canal; but the Bourne
and Reed amendments are new matter
SO far as the House is concerned.
The British government, according
to advlces from the State Department,
has made no further representation
regarding the proposition to allow
American vessels to use the canal free
Of tolls. since the note of Charge
1nnes, July last. 1t is now awaiting,
1t is said, the enactment of the legis-
iation and the adoption OF regulations
to put it into effect in order to have n
sufficient basis for more formal pro-
test against what 1t regards as clear
breach of the existing treaty.
In recognition of the superior right
of Great Britain to address the United
States government ON this subject by
virtue of the existence of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. other European ma
tfons and even Japan have refrained
from approaching the State Depart
ment. Notwithstanding that their in

This move would bring the matter
to a real crisis. Should arbitration be
adverse to the American position, it
would be necessary. 1t is said. for the
State Department to find reasonable
grounds for declination of the Brit

open to the charge that 1t had delib

rh Mediterranean Fruit Fly and Larva (oreaty Magnded

The recent announcement of Secre-
ury Wilson OF the department of ag-
rieulture Of his purpose to hold hear
lnrs for the purpose of determining
ibe adyisability of a quarantine against
mportatlons of plants, fruits or trees
from countries where the Mediterran-
can fruit fly is known to exist, has
aroused considerable interest in this
very destructive insect. and there have
baen many demands on the depart
ment for information concerning it,
To meet this demand DR.. l.. o. How
ard chief of the bureau of entomology.
has had prepared a circular-No. 100
Of his bureau-of which a. l.. Quain-
lance is the author
That the Mediterranean fruit fly is
a most serious drawback to the sue
cessful cultivation of fruit in the coun-
tries where 1t is established, there
can be no question. Indeed, the cul.
u1ation of fruits Is scarcely possible
in the worst infested regions The
iruitgrowing industry of Bermuda was
practically destroyed many years ago
by the introduction of the insect into
that island. Its introduction into the
United States in all probability would
be calamitous to the orchard interests
Of our more southern states and az
California, in which regions 1t would
fui conditions very similar to those
90 countries where 1t now exists In
most destructive numbers. BY the
establishment of a strict quarantine,
such as proposed by the secretary, It
is believed that it will be possible to
prevent disaster to the American fruit
Industry
The greatest amount of damage Is
done TO the ripening fruit by the fe-
male, which, with her sharp oviposi-
To-. pierces the fruit and deposits the
small glistenlng white eggs just under
meath the skin. These hatch in very

stored, the growth will be checked,
but activity will begin again when the
eggs are warmed up.
Speaking generally, the cold-storage
egg, while not unwholesome, is in
ferior in flavor and strength of white
to a fresh egg The coldstorage egg
can be very nearly duplicated in gross
appearance and quality by allowing
egsg to stand for three or four weeks
in a dry room. Cold.storage eggs,
when in case lots, can be told by the
GAMBLER because of the uniform shrink
age, the presence of mold on cracked
eggs, and perhaps, the occasional
presence of certain kinds of spot rots
peculiar to storage stock; but the alb.
solute detection of single cold
storage egg by Gambling is, so far as
the writer knows, Impossible.
With the present prevailing custom
of holding fall eggs without storage
facilities, it is frequently true that
eggs placed in cold storage in April
are superior to current fall and early
winter receipts. Cold-storage eggs are
usually sold wholesale as cold-storage
goods. but are retailed simply a /
eggs"
The fall eggs offered to the con
sumer cover every imaginable varia
ton in quality, and the poorest ones
sold may or may not be cold-storage
stock.
Occasional articles have been print
ed calling attention to the fact that
the cold-storage men were reaping
vast proGBs which rightfully belonged
to the farmer, and advising the farmer
to send his own eggs to the storage
house or to preserve them by other
means. AS a matter of fact, the cold
storage of eggs has not of late years
been particularly profitable, there hav.
ing been severe losses during several
seasons. Even were the profits of egg
storing many times greater than they
are, the above advice would still be
unwise, for the storing, removing and
selling of the farmers individual case
of eggs would eat up all possible
profit.
When eggs in the hands of large
operators are properly preserved in
cold storage, the best and most eff.
cient methods known are in reality at
the farmers service. Because of the
severe competition that prevails in
egg storing, the farmer is paid all the
increase in price which the business
will stand. A comparison of the sum.
mer prices of eggs now with summer
prices before days Of cold storage will
substantiate the truth of this state.
