LIBERIA MUST WAIT
FOR ITS NEW STAMPS
Postage Series Elaborate, But
War Has Held the Issue Be-
hind German Border.

LONDON. Dec. 22.-Just before hos
tilities broke out Liberia had placed
the order for new postage stamps in
Germany. but whether any of these
will ever find their way into the col
lector's hands is very doubtful. Lii
IBERIA has been selling large guam
titles Of the current issue. Cancelled
the order. to the trade. and the new
series was expected to be even more
imposing and ornamental than any
stamps hitherto issued by the West
African republic.
1t would appear that this new issue.
so strangely held up by war. con-
sisted of ten values. ?. 3. 5. 10. Is,
20. %. 80. and 30 cents. The l. 2. 3,
and 80 cents. which are oblong and
very much like the Belgian Congo
and on the scent stamps there is the
portrait Of a dusky gentleman. prob
bly, the President.
There is an unreal alligator upon
the 10 cents, or II may be the agama
lizard. much maEnified. which IS re-
membered upon the same value Of the
1906 series.
The 10 cents bears the armorial
bearings OF the countTy', strongly
in 1886. On the 20 cents there IS some
truit-bearinS plant, upon the 5G cents
a native surfb"at. and upon the p
cents an animal Of the large cat
tribe. The whole series are In shane
unlike any set issued by the country
and both I'm size and design strongly
resemble the pictorial Congo issues.

BOIL WEEV|L DOES
S3O,OOO,OOO DAMAGE
Report Shows Nearly 10000
Square Miles of New Terri
tory Infested Last Year.

Nearly $500 square miles of new ter
ritory became infested with the cotton
boil weevil during the last fiscal year.
and the total damage from the weevil
will reach s3O.O0o0OC. according to the
annual report of the Bureau of Ento-
mology, of the Department OF Agricul-
ture.
1t was found during the year, the
report says. that violets growing around
a cotton field seem to give another
cotton pest. the red spider. an oppor-
tunity TO work, and the department
recommends the destruction of this
flower near the cotton fields TO control
the spider.
Much progress is being made, It is
declared, in the control OF the gypsy
and brown-tail moths in New England.
With respect TO control OF insects that
are harmful TO man. the report says:
Investigations OF buffalo gnats'' and
their possible relation TO pellagra have
continued, and II. now seems unlikely
that they have any relation to that
dangerous disease. 1t seems more prob
able that the TYPHOID fly, commonly
spoken of as the house fly" does more
to transmit this infection along with
the other numerous diseases laid at its
door.
The typhoid fly itself is given his
share of attention, and means OF con-
troll by treating manure. where the
fly breeds are being develoDed. It seems
that the fly can be almost completely
controlled in the manure, and the value
of the fertilizer rema n UNCHANGED, IL
applications of commercial borax are
made at the rate of 90 pound to ten
cubic feet (eight bushels) of manure.
Investigations have been carried on to
discover remedies for insects which
damage such forest products as tele-
graph poles. railroad ties. and tool
handles. Users of these products are
now putting the results OF the Offices
investigations to practical tests. With
hardwood products liable to attack by
the so-called powderpost beetles II has
been found that kerosene and linseed
oil are effective repellents against these
insects. rather general utilization
of these oils bv manufacturers has fol-
lowed this discovery
