State EntOmOlOgiSt Takes Steps to
Protect Plants From Pests.

vines.
The state entomologist is requiring
inspection of vines offered for sale for
propagation, and vines which are to
be moved to a new location for start
ing cranberry boys. Several COM
plants have been filed with the state
entomologist that diseases were be-
ing transported from old cranberry
sections to new paintings.
The common cranberry disease
known as false blossom" a leaf spot
known as exotasidium, top wilt of
the new growth known as scherotinia,
and the black-headed worm sometimes
known as the "fire-worm," will be
controlled by these inspection meas
ures, and efforts will be made to pre-
vent their introduction into new plant
ings.
Express companies and railroads are
forbidden by state law to accept ship
ments of nursery stock, including
small fruits, unless they bear an Of
fetal inspection tag. Cranberry vines
for propagation should be cleaned of
moss, weeds or grasses, as we'll as
being free from injurious diseases

Subjection of Little King dom Puts End to Italy's
 Adriatic Plan.

London, Jan 13.-With the Aus trans before the gates of her capital, Montenegro is reported tonight to have entered an armistice with Aus tria.
