Washington, Feb. %. = Secretary
Nagel has made a report to President
Taft on the official conduct of Daniel

general of immigration, and has rec.
commended that Keefe's resignation

The report alleges that the head of
the immigration service accepted free
transportation for himself and family
from railroads and steamships. These
alleged acts were considered serious
because the commissioner deals OH.
cially with railroads and steamships.

The cotton boil weevil, which is con-
sidered the very worst crop pest which
has ever been brought to the attention of
agricultural authorities, has come to stay.
This is the latest opinion of experts who
have been engaged in the extensive stu
dies of the boil weevil which have been
carried on by the government since the
pests first appearance in this country.
According to estimates of government
experts the decrease in value of the cot
ton crop caused by the presence of the
boil weevil amounts to $100,000,000 a year.
1t is believed that about rs per cent of the
country in which cotton is grown, or
271. 600 square miles of territory, is now
infested with the boil weevil. At the
present rate of advance it is believed that
the entire cotton growing section will be
infested by the weevil in 10 or Is years.
1t can adapt itself to any place where
cotton grows and changes its habits and
methods of life as it gets into new ter
ritory.
Weevils are known to travel from 100
to 125 miles in a year. A migration is
going on all the time by the weevil fam
lily. The pests rapidly spread from one
field to the next, from county to county
and from state TO state. Weevil condi-
lions are worse this year than any time
since 1909. especially in sections of Louis
lana. Other crop pests, as a rule, have
their enemies which keep them in check,

MILLIONS OF FERNS
PICKED IN VERMONT
Peculiar Industry Is Well
Established in Little
Mountain Belt

Bennington Vt.-Ferns by the million!
That's what records of the Rutland rail-
road freight office in this village will
show when the first snow closes the an
nual season which is now on in the four
southern towns of Bennington county,
Woodford. Stamford, searsburg and
Readsboro. Just why the peculiar indus
try of fern picking should be confined to
the small section of country on the slope
OF the Taconie mountains in southern YER
mont has never been satisfactorily ex-
planned. Ferns grow everywhere through
out parts of New England and northern
New York, but the fact remains that no
other locality is the business of picking
the little sprays of green SO thoroughly
established as in the little belt of noun
tains, less than 100 square miles in area,
says the Knickerbocker Press.
The industry is comparatively new and
came into existence by the discovery by

made 1t necessary for farmers to practice
rotation OF crops and adopt better meth
DDS of cultivation. In broadening of the
fields of agriculture both farmers and la
borers have been laugh to handle crops
which formerly they knew nothing about.
Diyersifcation of crops as one of the
moves in the fight against the weevil has
meant more for the prosperity of farm
ers, according to farm experts. than any
other change in the system of agricul-
ture in the south made during the last
half century. Besides crops to be sent
to markets many southern farmers now
raise on one plantation everything they
need for home consumption; in the old
days most of the farmers raised only cot
ton and used the proceeds to buy other
products which were needed.

ROBERT BACON ON
SOUTH AMERICA
Says Its Rapid Growth Is
Like That of United
States

Lisbon, October 1S.-Robert Bacon, at
one time Secretary of State in the sec
ond Roosevelt administration, spent
several days in Portugal previous TO
sailing for South America, whittier he
has gone in the interest of better and
closer relations between nations.
Personally, aside from my mission"
said Mr.. Bacon in this connection, mo
country holds for me more interest than
South America. When 1 was in the
state department South American affairs
had a peculiar interest for me. Now
more than ever the attention of the
world is being directed to the CONT
nent south of the United States, which
BIS developing in a way that has no
comparison in history except with our
own development. In little while the
Panama canal will increase this rapid
growth particularly on the western
coast Our intellectual and commercial
relations. already very important with
South America, will grow, and the iso-
lation that now prevents many persons
from the United States from travelling
to southern continent will largely dis
appear"
Mr.. Bacon is visiting South America
under the auspices of the Carnegie
foundation for international peace. In
further explanation of his journey he
lisaid:
"'rhe movement which has behind it,
in America, Senator Root President
Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia
college. James Brown Scott and 9th
ers associated with them, has very
definite and specific purposes and prac-
tical methods of accomplishing them.
1.-THE membership of the Institute of
International Law comprises some of
the most learned men of Europe and
America, who hold regular meetings to
] discuss the laws that govern the re-
lations of nations. Now a similar insti-
| tute has been established for South
| America, and a part of my work will
| be to encourage the formation OF
| branches of this society. of which Sen
ator Root is president
Il will discuss also the arrangement
| of exchanges between the universities
of South America and those of the
United States, of both professors and
students. and also the exchange visits
| of individuals. By these means the
nations must acquire a more intimate
understanding of the problems that
each one faces and the peoples must
be drawn into closer intellectual ana
