SEEK BUG DESTROYERS
FOR AUSTRALIAN PEST
Antipodean Scientists Will
Carry Home Ravaging In
sects for PrickN Pear.

From away off at the under side OF
| the world two scientific persons have
come to Washington to ask officials of
the Department of Agriculture the
name and address of some sort of bug
that makes a specially of doing DAM
age to the cactus that produces prickly
pears.
DR.. L. 0. Howard, who is the depart
ments bug specialist, has directed the
antipodean visitors to two bugs which
he thinks may make life burden for
the prickly pear plants that have be-
come pest on Australian pastures.
The two ravaging insects are, first,
the longhorn beetle. which is described
as surprisingly homely insect with
out wings, but with an Unsuitable ap-
petite for the succulent substance of
the Objectionable cactus. The other is
alleged to be a variant of the common
or garden squash beetle. which annual
words in considerable numbers as they
contemplate the results wrought by
it on the tender stems. leaves and
fruits of squash vines, cucumbers and
the like. Either of the two, DR.. How
ard believes, will injure Australia's
prickly pear crop to such an extent as
to make it easy to eradicate the pest.
However. DR.. Howard says, the Aus
trallanS apparently maven leaTHcu DIS
vet that prick1y pears possess high
feeding value and that cattle eat them
with relish and grow fat when the
spindles that give the plant its name
have been removed
Valuable for Cattle Feed.
This is not surprising, however. as the
fact has only been learned in our own
southwest within the past few years.
Prior to that time the prickly pear was
looked on merely as sort of vegetable
pincushion. of no use to anybody in the
world Before that time, again. the plant
used to be cultivated as forage for the
cochineal bug. but when aniiin colors and
the by-product of gas plants put the little
cochineal out Of business it seemed the
pric1ly pear cactus had lost the number
of it's mess entirely.
Attention of the Australian scientists
has been called to the department s cat
tle-feeding experiments with the prickly
pear cactus. but they were sent hither to
find little bugs to kill off the plants SO
they will. take home with them longhoIn
beetles and little cousins of the squash
bugs and allow Australian cattle raisers

rural credits were encountered in Eu-

mortgages. and used in buying and i'm
proving property. and the short-term
credit based upon personal security
and used In tiding the farmer over
from one crop-selling period to an

After making preliminary report COW
ering the whole situation the commission
effected permanent organization. with
headquarters in Washington. 1t has a
membership from thirty-six states and
from four Canadian provinces, and has
settled down to the work Of aiding q ma
tionai propaganda for the utilization of
the lessons of European rural finances in
our own agricultural situation. The COM
mission appointed two committees to
carry forward the work: assigned to one
the task of compiling the results of the
investigation, while the other was to act
as an advisory board.
That some legislation will grow out Of
the work seems q foregone conclusion
Nothing is being asked of the United

wholesome laws for the regulation OF

By Frederic ]. Haskin.

There is in Rome an organization known
as the International Institute of Agricul-
ture 1t is supported by all of the civilized
nations of the earth. each of which has
a delegate stationed there, whose duty il
is to take part in the statistical WORK
of forecasting the worlds crops. and to
make himself useful in watching the
agricultural progress of the other ma
tious and in communicating his observa-
tons to his country.
The, American delegate to the institute
is David I.ubin The researches of. the
institute long since demonstrated the
immense Importance that the govern
ments of Europe attach to cooperation
among farmers. and showed how the
farmers succeeded under the patronage
of the government.
Mr. Lubin made frequent reports 70
the Washington authorities on the sue
cess of the cooperative credit system
of Europe and 1t finally aroused the IN
terest of those who would help the Amer
lean farmer to help himself. This III
turn gave rise to demand for thor
oush inquiry into the subject.
This movement was sponsored by the
Southern Commercial Congress and the
American bankers Association, the for
by resolving in April. 1912, that the direc-
TORS of the congress should be asked to
send q commission to Europe to study
the question carefully, and that this
commission should consist of two men
from each state.

WOMAN is SURE
SHE SAW PENNOCK
Farmers Wife Gave Drink to
Exhausted Man Who An
SWered Description

The police Of Pottstown. Pa, be-
iicve they are on the trail of Charles
J. Pennock Justice OF the Peace,
Deputy Coroner and real estate deal
or. Of Kennett Square, who has been
missing from his home since Thurs
day.
Mrs. A, e. Wilbur. living on a
farm five miles north of Pottstown.
communicated yesterday with Mrs.
Pennock, of Kennctt Square At the
same time she informed the police
of Pottstown of having seen man
who she declares answered the de-
scription OF Mr.. pennock.
Early yesterday the farmers wife
was busy in her Kitchen. She heard
some one stumble by the stoop and
then knock fecbly at the door Mrs.
Wilbur answered. Standing at tho
door. his hand against the wall in
support was a worn and haggard
man. Although apparently in the
last state of exhaustion, Mrs Wilbur
said she recognized in the stranger
the missing man, whose picture she
had studied in the morning news
paper.
According to latest advices, the
police OF Pottstown had not caught
up with the wanderer. The story told
by Mrs Wilbur is borne out by the
idiosyncrasies told of the missing
man. Persons in Kcnnett Square,
familiar with Pennock. concur in re-
calling his wandcrlust and love OF
rural jaunts It is thought that on
one of his usual country "hikes," he
suffered some mental trouble. His
friends do not think that he IS re-
sponsible for his absence. They do
not think he is being held in duress.
