Fires

Twenty-Five Occur in Month on
Government Lands in the
Southern AppaIaChians.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April IA
During March twenty-five forest fires
burned on or near the land in the
southern Appalachians which the gov
eminent is securing under the Weeks
law for the establishment of national
forests. Seven of these fires reported
by the governments forest officers
covered more than 10 acres, but IL
were less than one-quarter of an acre
in size.
State Laws are Lax.
The most common cause was rail-
road sparks On what are known as
the Cherokee, Mt. Mitchell, Unaka,
and White Top areas the railroads
cross lands which the government is
acquiring, so that there is consider
able risk, even though the right OF
way are patrolIed during very dry
seasons The state laws. however,
are so lax in regard to the maipten-
ance of spark arresterS and keepng
the railroad rights Of way clear OF In
flamm able amterial that, the forest
ers estimate more than half OF the
total number of fires occurring during
March were probably set by railroad
locomotives.
All Fires In the South.
Six out of the IA areas in which
the government is purchasing lands
reported fires during March. Except
for the White Top area, which Is on
the border line between Virginia and
Tennessee, all the areas from which
fires were reported are in North Car

Bail
WORM SOURCE
De GREAT FEAR
And Cotton Mills Warned to
Burn Cotton Seed Obtained
from Imported Lint.

WASHINGTON. d. C., April A.
The Federal horticulture Board. has
issued q notice to all cotton mills,
and especially those in the South 20
destroy by burning all seed that may
be found in bales of imported Egyp-
tian cotton These seed are likely to
contain the larvae of the ping boil
worm which is very destructive 20
American cotton. The number OF
seeds of Egyptian cotton found In q
bale of Egyptian lint Is proba bly,
small and the presence Of any seed
in such bales is due TO faulty ginning
Ginning and storing, however, does
not kill the larvae OF the pink Doll
worm, which has been known 70
Withstand storage in cotton seed for
more than seven motnhs-
So dangerous to the cotton crop OF
the United States Is the pink Doll
worm regarded that on May %, 1913.
"a quarantine was promulgated de-
signed to prevent the introduction IN
to the United States of this worm by
forbidding the Importation OF cotton
seed from all foreign countries ex-
cept two regions In Mexico. Since
that date several shipments OF cot
ton seed infested by this worm have
been intercepted and destroyed
While the number of seeds acct
dentaIly left in bale of cotton is
probably small. very large quantity
of baIed Egyptian cotton is imported.
so that in the aggregate the number
of infested seeds might well prove g
serious menace to the local crop This
is especially true in view of the fact
that much of this baled cotton is
shipped to southern cotton mills
which in some cases are in the imme-
date vicinity of cotton fields which
would form a ready breeding place
for any larvae that might escape, The
mere keeping Of the seeds taken from
these bales by re-ginning might give
an opportunity to the pink boill worm
to breed and escape into netghhortng
cotton fields. Mill owners there
fore, are urged to destroy all such
cotton seed without delay, by burning
it under their boilers.
The Horticultural Board has be-
gun an investigation to determine the
amount of infestatton by the pink boil
work In the seed thus introduced. An
agent will visit the northern and
southern mills for this purpose. The
elimination of the danger by improY-
ed methods of ginning or possibly by
further quarantine regulations VIII

of to the nearest poker game. There
was a time when the theory of en-
ployers and employees alike was that
the way to get business was to set up

has been pretty well exploded. Bust

number of professional good fellows

The Gideons are fairly typical of that
decent, wideawake twentieth century

demands the same qualities of hustle

that the average Gideon is the kind of
a drummer who makes business hum.

The Gideons.

pittsburgh Gazeztte Times.)
Announcement that the "Gideons"
are holding their annual convention at
Boston, Mass, directs attention to an
organ ization with which the public
generally may not be familiar. but
which has been pursuing its valuable
work effectively but unostentatiously
for the past Is years. The Christian
Commercial Travellers Association, to
give its official title, has for one of it's
| principal objects the placing of Bibles
in the rooms of hotels for the benefit
of guests. In addition it serves to unite
in bonds of friendship a host of men
engaged in the same line of business,
for it has now a membership in this
country of 100000. The Gideons not
only hold meetings in hotels and else
where for their members, but partici-
They have also instituted various mu
tual benefit schemes and are ever ready
to assist fellow travelling men who are
in distress of any kind.
This brief summary of the Gideons'
activities indicates the change that has
taken place in the character of the
travelling man within generation. The
typical professional drummer of some
years ago, with all due respect to his
business ability, his industry and sim
cerity, was scarcely a Gideon. AT
least, according to the popular notion
of the commercial traveller, he did not
put in his spare time introducing
Bibles into hotel rooms, attending
