PLANT QUARANTINE.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

Those interested in the agricultural well
fare of the United States are rejoicing
that this year will see put into full eff
feet the various provisions of the law
PASSED by Congress last year authorizing
quarantine against all plant products
affected with any kind of insect pest or
disease which may be spread and thus
cause the trouble to extend to other parts
of the country. The Importance of some
method of protection of plant life has
been actively urged by the Department
of Agriculture for number of years.
The new law gives to the Secretary of
Agriculture the right to issue a quaran-
tine against the plant products of any
region in which insect pests or disea Sc
may be discovered. to regulate the i'm
portation of nursery stock and other
plant products and to regulate the move
ment of fruit plants and vegetables in
such manner as may best serve for the
protection of the country from an in
crease in any pest
Soon after the laws became effective
in October last four quarantine notices
were issued. These are regarded a
good beginning to the great preventive
work it is hoped will soon be i'm opera
ton against the many pests that cause
such enormous annual waste. The first
is against the white pine blister rust,
which is a new disease not yet widely
prevalent, but which, if not checked, ma y
become as serious the chestnut canker.
The quarantine forbids the Importation
into the United States of three specified
species of pine from Great Britain.
France, Belgium Holland, Norway, Swe-
den. Denmark, Russia, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland and Italy.
The second quarantine was placed
against the Mediterranean fruit fly which
is prevalent in Hawaii and is new to and
not widely prevalent as yet In the United
States. This prohibits the Importation
into the mainland from Hawaii of a con-
siderable number of fruit and vegetables,
excepting those which have been passed
upon by special inspectors appointed for
that purpose.
The third quarantine is against the
potato wart, q disease which has been
found to exist in Newfoundland. the
islands of ST Pierre and Miquelon, Great
Britain. Ireland, Germany and Austria
Hungary. The fourth notice was direct
ed chiefly against the spread of the gypsy
moth and the brown tail moth 1t chief
ly affected the New Finland states and
was slightly felt by dealers in Christmas
trees and other holiday greens. although
it's effect was much less serious than was
at first feared by the dealers in those
products.

How any man could put out unsecured

is no other business on earth which is
allowed so small margin to work on

those conditions cause no comment nor

Expenses Exceed Pawnbroker's.

The loan company of the District mas
more exnenses to contend with in the con-
duct of it's business than does the pawn
broker. II the loan is an unsecured one,
the loan company must investigate the

loans must take two things into conSld-

or all. indorsers thereon are relieved from
responsibility. If these two fees are to
be omitted from the loan business. then
il will require a special act of Congress
along that line. as the laws governing
tneSe COnOltlOnS were previously DS
Congress.
The license charge of 500 per year is
about as SenSeeSs and unfair as any
other part of this bill. which amount
would make il Improbable for man
who had a small capital to invest in a
loan business. Another discrmina ton in
conditions here in Washington is this: \
man who is employed in private employ
ment can have his salary attached for
the non payment OF just debt but under
the law here now, the salary of a gov

DO YOU consider that fair condition
IL looks 10 me as though this legislation
is intended under the guise of proper
regulation. to take away entirely the
privilege of the small borrower To obtain
a loan, as il may be considered by the
wise ones that il were better that no
loans be obtained by persons who have
not a bank rating. And that is precisely
! what the passage of such bill would
amount TO.
II the law is to become effective thirty
| DAYS after its passage. who will refund
! to the loan broker who goes out of bust
ness the amount OF his license for the re-
mainder of the year. as his license as
issued bv the District Commissioners does
not expire until July. 1913? That is an
other unfair condition of this So-called

England are acres of dead pine trees. or
of unsightly stumps of trees which have
been cut down and removed, and many
parks and pine groves which, few years
ago. were the delight of villages are now

tail moth attacks the deciduous trees. but
does not always kill them the first year,
because new leaf crop is more readily
formed. This pest extends its ravages to
many kinds of trees including those bear
ing fruit.
Besides these pests. for which qIlaran-
tines already have been declared. the
United States is ravaged by many other
pests of almost equal destructive quail
