it as the retiring first lady of the land,
Mrs. Grover Cleveland was entertained
at dinner by the president and Mrs.

Fort Smith, Ark-President Madero
of Mexico will not serve after Gov. Will
son is inaugurated as president OF the
United States, according to DIR. c. S.
Bungari, who returned from six weeks
business trip to the former country.
Americans In Mexico, he says, generally

desolation, ruin and famine are reported
by DR.. Bungari.
The rebels are destroying everything
they can lay their hands on, he says.
Their destruction will ultimately cut of

COTTON SEASON OVER.
Crop in the State Not~Up to That of
Year 1911.

Jaekson.-The cotton season in Missk-
sippi is practically at an end, and receipts
at interior market points have been
steadily declining since the Christmas
holidays.
In the northern counties of the delta,
where bumper crop was raised last
year, some picking is still in progress,
but the staple has greatly deteriorated
because of exposure to the heavy rains,
and the planters were unable to secure
sufficient labor to harvest the magnif-
cent crop. This condition, however, is
true only of the counties in the north
ern portion of the delta.
Buyers in Jackson have almost cleaned
up the supply in the surrounding coun-
try, and the season has been far from
satisfactory. Receipts at the local COM
press up to the closing hour amounted
to 1926 bales, against 1915 bales on
the same date last year.

Bulletin 203, just issued by the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, contains a report of the migra-
ton OF the wooly aphid from elm
leaf TO apple, with special reference
70 the economic significance Of this
discovery for nursery stock and
young orchards. A general account
OF this serious and widespread apple
pest is included.
For more than 100 years the woolly
aphid has had world wide recogni-
ton as one of the most serious insect
enemies Of young apple trees. Stats
tics for 1911 on two-year-old nursery
stock based on observations made at
three nurseries containing respective
ly about 10000, $4,000 and 100000
trees, showed that from 20 per cent.
to % per cent. of the trees were in
tested by the woolly aphid AS from
twenty to forty million Of American
grown apple seedlings are used in
this country every year. the signiti-
canoe of so high a per cent. of in
festation Is at once apparent.
1t is, therefore, with no slight in
terest that the entomologists Of the
Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton have been seeking to ascertain
q previously unknown point I'm the
life cycle of this pest. and have made
the discovery that this cycle includes
three generations which are passed in
what is known as the "elm leaf curl"
The disfigured and curled leaves Of
the elm In the spring are everywhere
as familiar as the woolly masses on
the apple bark. but the elm genera
tons have not previously been
known to have any connection with
the apple pest and 1t has all along
borne a distinct name
1t is a fact familiar to students of
this family of insects that certain
aphids live for a few generations
usually wingless) upon one food
plant and then produce a winged gen.
Grafton that migrates to an entirely
different species of plant for the sum-
mer. where it establishes a series of
summer generations and by fall pro-
duces second migrant generation
that flies back TO the original food
