SEES MOUNTAIN "MOONSHINE''

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has been informed by the govern

OF the Appalachian mountain states
of the south that there has been a
IS per. cent decrease during the last
two years in the manufacture of
"moonshine whisky"-that is, the
old-time moonshine has practically
disappeared. This is rather a sig
nifcant statement, in view of the
persistent efforts of the modern up
to-date "bootlsgger" who phys his

centers of the country's population

which instigated differences between

government encountered an armed

organized and public opposition to
distillers commenced the policy of
secrecy and evasion.
Lull Follows Law Repeal.
The law was repealed under JEFF

came a 1ull in the manufacture of

1t has been in the United States
since 1915, but by desperate fighting,
the entomologists have succeeded in
confining its ravages to New Jersey
and Pennsylvania. Every year, how
ever. it spreads in a widening circle.
This year traces have been discovered
in Maryland. near the Pennsylvania
line. The District Of Columbia is d.
fectly in its path.
Eats Anything Growing.
The beetle is especially hard to
night because ii lives on all growing
things. 1t would as soon eat weeds
by the roadside as rose bushes. Con-

proved of little use because every
thing cannot be sprayed.

Already more than 100000 para
aites have been liberated during the
past few years. but most of these
I have proved almost worthless. Last
year a shipment of $4,000 larger
wasps from France were set free in
New Hampshire. From these the best
hope yet has been obtained. Speci-
mems have been captured this year
actually attacking the corn borer
caterpillar, proving that they have not
lost their usefulness in a now eli

of the corn except the fibrous roots.
They are most noticeable when they
