WINONA LAKE. Ind. May 21.-De-
termination to insist upon nothing
less than actual union with the other
was expressed at the 1880 general
assembly of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States today. Speak
ers declared that proposals for closer
cooperation with the other branches
were useless and that efforts should
now be made for an organic union.
Discussion of the question of church
union was followed later in the day
by debate on the question of re-
various boards and agencies in the
church. This question was brought
up by the report of the special com
mittee dealing with this subject. The
committee proposed that some plan be
worked out by which the number of
boards be reduced and much overlap
ping work be eliminated.
Resolutions Adopted.

assembly of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States of America
(Southern). now in session at St.
Louis. expressing the desire of the

of the Presbyterian and Reformed
churches. and also expressing the
hope that the assembly OF the south
ern branch of the church may take
such action as will not only promote
closer relations, but also will secure
reunion of the two bodies. 1t also
was directed that a similar message
be sent to the assembly Of the United
Presbyterian Church. the synod Of the
Reformed Church in the United States
Of America and the synod Of the Re-
formed Church in the United States.
Churchmen expressed that the ef-
feet of today's action would be to

Gus branches of the church.

PROTECTING AMERICAN CROP
PLANTS FROM ALIEN ENEMIES

The Federal Government expends
several million dollars annually in
efforts to combat serious insects
and plant diseases that have been
brought here from foreign countries.
Several thousand insects have been
listed in foreign countries which are
known to injure crops and which
have not yet been brought to our
shores.
Many foreign-plant diseases are
also known to occur, and it is of the
utmost Importance to prevent their
reaching us. The Federal Horticul-
tural Board, an independent branch
of the Department of Agriculture, is
endeavoring to keep as many of
these alien enemies out of the coun-
try as practicable. Special quaran-
tines have been issued and rigid at
tentlon is being given to the inspec-
ton of plants reaching us so as to
avoid the introduction of the pests.
The Beueau of Plant Industry is
DESTROYS of encouraging in every
way the production of promising
new crops in this country, and its
Office of Foreign Seed and Plant In
PRODUCTION is cooperating with hor-
ticulturists and plant growers in
aiding them in introducing new va
rieties of plants in such fashion that
they will not bring in any diseases
or insects. 1t is often necessary to
introduce plants in very small num-
bers and to grow them for a consid-
cradle time either in greenhouses or
under very special conditions out of
doors to make sure that all pests
have been removed. When it is GER
tain taht the plants are freed of in
sects or diseases, they may then be
propagated more extensively ana I
to collaborators. In this
way new crops are introduced with
out danger to the country.

NOTORIOUS COLORADO WOLF
MEETS DEATH

Details of the capture and death
of "Old White" the ferocious lea
der of a pack of wolves that for
years caused great destruction
among live stock on Bear Springs
Mesa, Colorado, are contained in a
report received recently by the Bur-
eau of Biological Survey, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The capture lacked some of the
more spectacular elements t h a t
marked the passing of the now ia
nous "Custer Wolf" but in many
ways it is looked upon as among the
notable kills made through the
skill and patience of Government
hunters in their work of Kidding the
cattle ranges of the West of preda-
tory animals.
Early in the spring, by the clever
strategy of oneof the hunters, the
mate of this animal and one of the
leaders of the pack was captured,
and it was thought that "Old
White would then fall ready vic
tim. But he proved more difficult,
for although several good chances to

trip to the government traps he
would 'step lucky, as the hunter
described it. Finally the hunter Sc
