WATCH NURSERY STOCK
FOR JAPANESE BEETLE
CONTINUED from first pagel


the result will be Japanese beetles
in your greenhouses.
Whenever buying stock in Penn
sylvania or New Jersey, demand a
certificate showing that it has been
examined and found to be free from
the Japanese beetle. Although there
are few beetles in your vicinity, if
you buy stock in Pennsylvania or
New Jersey and do not have it GER
titled, it cannot be reshipped from
the Delaware Quarantine Area, nor
can your stock grown in your own
greenhouses be shipped from the
Delaware Quarantine Area"
A survey of all greenhouses and
nurseries in Delaware is being made
by agents of the Japanese beetle
quarantine office. The principal aim
is, first, to discover any possible in
fection, and, second, to halt buying
from infected areas without certif-
Gates showing there is no infection.

ing salary increases at their ex-
pense. The enactment of the
proposed bill would increase the
rates on newspapers 100 per cent
and about 25 per cent on parcel
post. Senators and Congressman
find themselves swamped by tel
egrams and letters of protest
against higher postage.
The failure of the Senate to
settle the Muscle Shoals issue is
a source of some concern. I'm
portant legislative measures
pending on the Senate calendar
may be ignored due to the lack of
time. The sentiment in favor of
an extra session of Congress is

WASHINGTON LETTER

Continued from Page ~
the knowledge that initiation is
often a destructive force that
certain government officials have
taken this unofficial method to
make known their observations.
The hope is expressed that
people themselves will provide a
remedy for evils inevitably con-
nected with prosperity. 1t is
generally admitted that there is
no immediate panacea for busi-
ness depression. For that reason
it is believed that the good judg-
ment of the average citizen will
steer the country clear of the
serious phases of initiation.
A step forward toward keeping
men at work and business active
may come of the Domestic Dis
tribution Conference which will
be held in Washington next week.
1t is believed that benefits will
follow a wider understanding of
the need for more knowledge in
distribution of commodities. 1t
is expected that the consumer
will benefit directly by more in
telligent effort and better dir
ection on the part of merchants
and manufacturers but subse-
quent reduction in the costs of
distribution.
With the Sterling-Paige bill for
postal salaries and postal rates
now pending, Congress finds itself
in another dilemma. On one side
the organized postal workers are
pressing for wage increases
amounting to $6S,000,000 a year,
while the more numerous users
of the mail service are protest
