A1abama and Louisiana.
The japanese Camphor Scale
is not known to occur in Miss
issinpi but is known to occur in
Alabama and Louisiana. 1t is
a very serious pest and has been
found to attack more than one
hundred species of plants. Re
Gently Plant Board Inspectors
have intercepted at Pascagoula,
Ocean Springs, Biloxi, and Gulf
port shipments of Satsuma
oranges from Alabama which
were badly infested with the
Camphor Scale.
Citrus Canker is the most in
furious disease of citrus trees
known. It is believed that this
disease has been eradicated from
the orange grove of Mississippi.
1t is known to be still present in
Louisiana. Plant Board Inspec-
tors have recently intercepted
shipments of citrus fruits from
Louisiana that contained leaves
and twigs in violation of Miss
issippi regulations.
These recent interruptions by
Plant Board Inspectors of citrus
fruits, leaves, and twigs from
Alabama and Louisiana indicate
the necessity of a quarantine or
restrictive order against citrus
fruits from these states in order
to prevent the introduction of
the two above named pests.
Notice is hereby given that a
public hearing will be held at
1890 A. M. on February l, 1928
at the City Hall, Gulfport, Miss
issippi in order that any person
interested in such a quarantine
may appear before the State
Plant Board and state his view
on this subject.

Standardization, grading grow
ing standard variety, using a
trade name-these are the
things that have made famous
the products named above and
many more. That action has
opened a world wide market.
We can make Mississippi just
as famous as any of these
others, if we use the same me-
thods. We must grow for a
market what it demands, grade,
pack, advertise. We must re-
member that uniformity of
grade attracts the big buyers.
Training schools on grading,
packing, Standardization and
market demands must be fost-
cred.
We must provide proper and
adequate warehouse and stor-
age facilities, so that we can
take care of our products until
marketing conditions are right,
We must have good roads so
that we can get our products to
the market during any season
and in all kinds of weather.
Lack of an efficient marketing
cvc+ano means waste What iS
wasted would feed us.
The Mississippi Development
Board wants to be helpful in
planning a marketing system
and will as soon as it's present
membership campaign is out of
the way, gladly help to plan such
a system. The best brain and
knowledge to be obtained, both
in and out of the State should
be called in to help us.

Monday.

- Jackson, Miss, Jan. 23.-That
Governor Russell has no right
to remove from office Insurance
Commissioner T. M. Henry and
install his own appointee, E. o..
Coody, was the gist of decision
rendered by the supreme court
this morning.
Insurance Commissioner T. NJ.
Henry has no right to attach or
make prior claim Of any kind
for the impounded funds of the
fire insurance companies for

ed by State Revenue Agent
Stokes V. Robertson for alleged
violation of the antitrust laws.
This is the gist of a decision rem
dcred by the supreme court this
morning.
The opinion was read by Just
ice Cook, and there was no dis
senting opinion.
The impounded funds of the
fire insurance companies amount
to nearly million dollars and
are being held by three receivers
peding the outcome of the anti
trust litigation.
Shortly afr the antitrust
suit was filed the funds of the
defendant companies in the
hands of local agents and under
writer's were seized under Wrlts
of garnishmet, to be held against
possible judgements.
Fire Insurance Commissioner
Henry intervened with a claim
of about S175,OOO,0OO of these
funds due from the fire insu'r-
ance firms as premium taxes,
claiming that the state had
prior claim. The insurance
companies had refused to pay
those taxes while the antitrust
suit was pending.
The supreme court in it's de-
cision today holds that the tax
imposed on fire insurance com
panies is merely privilege tax

ROME. June 16.-Various problems
concerning the Catholic Church In
America are receiving the sinceres'
and most favorable consideration on
the part of the holy see. The CORE
spondent has. heard the opinions OF
several persons in the Vatican HER
archy who are considered well quail
fled to express the views prevailing
behind the great bronze doors
Roughly. these views are as follows
The holy see is watching every de-
vclopment of Catholic welfare coun-
ellis with great interest, but is re-
framing from taking sides with the
extreme partisans of the councls OF
with their enemies, and trusts that the
actual development OF the councils
will be such as always to meet with
the approval. of the church Inc
church is and will remain immovable
in matters of ecclesiastical discipline
and cannot consent to any autonomy
OF national churches" which would
weaken such discipline.
Insist Upon Discipline.
The same attitude is taken by the
Vatican in all matters relating TO the
so-called union OF Christian churches,
which the holy see desires ardently,
but only if the discipline can be
maintained.
The nomination of third American
cardinal seems extremely probable.
but despite the wish sometimes eX-
pressed by American Catholics for a
larger participation in the admins
tration of the church at Rome. the
Vatican authorities do not consider
that any large percentage of AneTi-
can Catholics desire a so-called car
dinal in curia." namely. residing in
Rome, or a large number of Amerl-
can priests active in the administra-
ton of the congregations.
Mundelein In Line.
The major probability for third
red hat in the United States remains
Archbishop Mundelein. The impor-
lance of Chicago as Catholic center
has been noted in the official Osserva-
tore Romano. The Chicago diocese
now ranks as second in the United
States. being preceded only by New
York in number of Catholics.
The work OF the American College
in Rome, which acts as a kind of
liaison agency between the Vatican
and American Catholics is much APP
preciated and highly approved.
