NECESSITY OF SPRAYING TREES


The state is very watchful of hor-
ticultural interests, says the Scran-
ton Times. A little incident occur
red this holiday season which shows
that Pennsylvania is fully alive to
the interests of horticulture and ag-
riculture, by keeping a watchful eye
on every possible enemy to vegeta-
tion through the Department of ETY.
mology. A local florist received a
shipment of goods, just prior to
Christmas, consisting of evergreens
and shrubs to be used at Christmas
and Easter. These goods were un-
packed by the employees of this con-
cern and distributed to three differ
ent points.
The Department of Etymology at
Harrisburg received notice that this
shipment had been forwarded from
the custom house at New York to
Scranton and it had escaped inspec-
tion there. A representative paid
this florist a visit four different
times before he could get all this
sto+ks located and inspected. The
representative of the government
found this stock all o. X. Had it
been infested by any insects it would
had to be either sprayed, fumigated
or destroyed.
The time has now come, the law
having just gone into effect last Fall
that any horticultural goods shipped
from any foreign country to the
United States has to have a permit
with number, attached to shipment
from the shipping point. This same
florist having a shipment coming,
next Spring, from a Holland firm,
received notice from the shipper that
he must apply to the Secretary of
Agriculture at Washington and get
numbered permit and send the
number to the Holland firm as he
said, Il can't ship until / receive the
| number" So it seems the Federal
Government is watchful, likewise.
This act is known as H. r. 24119.
This will debar the possibility of
goods getting distributed anywhere
without the closest scrutiny of gov
ernment representatives..
If all orchardists and owners of
trees and shrubs were as painstaking
and careful about this matter of al
lowing insects to become disseminat-
ed, which is very possible when they
are being incubated as fast as they
are in this section of the state, by
marked improvement.
The state is spending thousands of
dollars and the Federal Govern
ment is spending hundreds of thous-
ands, in this work.
If individuals do not take up the
matter more thoroughly than they
| have in the past, the time is coming
when a law will be passed that
either individuals must use every
energy possible to keep these enc
mics under subjection or their trees
| will be cut down by state authority
when infested.
This section of the country has,
so far, escaped the ravages of the
brown tail and gypsy moth, which
made their first appearance in this
country at Boston and have now
crept their way along the coast as
far north and east as Maine and as
far south and west as Philadelphia.
1t is hoped the cold weather of the
| interior will be too severe for these
| two ravaging insects.

RAILROAD TEACHES JAPANESE
Workmen From Nippon Learn the
English Language.

Teaching English to japanese work
men is one Of the tasks of the educa-
tional bureau of the Union Pacific Rail
road company, according to informa-
ton received at the United States bu-
reau Of education. More than 500 Jap
anese section foremen and trackmen
are employed by the railroad, and for
the benefit of these men instruction
books are issued in japanese and Eng
lish.
1t is believed that by handling prac.
teal problems of railroading in both
languages the Japanese workers will
not only gain the necessary technical
information, but also increase their
knowledge of English.

CONSERVATION HAS A
DAY IN THE SENATE
INTERESTING DEBATE OVER THE
CONNECTICUT RIVER DAM
BILE DEVELOPS.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Practlc-
ally all the schools of conservation had
their say today in the senate in the
debate over the proposed passage OF
the Connecticut river dam bill.
Senator Root advocated the right Of
the federal government to attach as
a condition to the license to maintain
the dam a requirement Of payment
to the federal government of por.
tion of the revenue obtained by the
dam company for the aid OF naviga-
tion Of the stream.
Senators Works and Borah attacked
this condition as stopping the devel-
opment of the resources of the coun-
trv. Senator Poindexter expressed APP
proval of the bill as being a step to-
ward preserving the natural resources
Of the public by preventing their get
ting into the exclusive control of great
monopolistic corporations.
Efforts on the part of Senator
Brandegee to procure an agreement to
vote on the bill tomorrow followed,
but ne gave notice he would request
consent to vote on Monday.
