In addi-1 tion, nests of tlu? brown-ta.il imoth, egg maizes ol the European tu^eoel moth, pupae of the dagger moth, and coeoona of the pine saw fly wcr discovered. Of interest was live f:,n" ing of a fourth potato weevil in tin United States, which was. riicuovercc in Irish potatoes imported from th Andes. Of the diseases, citrus cank er was found in n number of ship ments, and the finding of powder scab on wild potatoes from the em slope of tlio Andes is taken to imi. cr.te clearly that it is the home < this disease of the potato. The action taken with regard t< foreign cotton seed which forinre part of a cargo of the British steam ship Appam brougiit to Nt wpo News as a German pri'/e of war, the report cites, is taken as il'ustratlr the department's activities in keep ing out pests. This seed was to !>' sold by an order of the United Slates Admiralty Court. An examination o." the seed by specialists of the dc partrnent showed many traces of infestation by the pink boll worm. Steps were taken to set aside tu sale, ami the very large hulk of caller seed were placed in sulphuric acid vats as a preliminary to the conversion of the seed into fcrtiii/. ei\ A; additional precautions, the two holds of the Appa:n winch had contained the seed were fumi'-.atcd with a strong dosage of so'hum cyanid, and - the doc*k at Newport News was thoroughly sv.pet and carefully inspected to make certain that no scattered seeds remained. The fact that the great mrjeritv ( f the insects in this seed ha.l cm(i god during the long cruise of Appam, tlie report states, reduced the dangjr materially.

I ___ TMMBI FAMINE IN MEATS NOW THREATENING Butchers Facing Crisis in Live Stock Market, It Is Stated. * ? INiO TENNESSEE HOGS; OTHER PLACES BAD Supply of Foreign Cattle Also Exhausted by European Trade. ^ _____ "" Scarcity of hogs and cattle is like'y to induce a meat famine of alarm ing proportions in Columbia and other commercial centres in the im jiettiatc future. J. J. Miller, who has operated for a number of years v e of the largest meat markets in 0 iumbia said the outlook was never 0 gloomy as that which now convents butchers. "Shipment of hogs from Tennesvc ne.s practically ended." he said, .i; li e supply has been exhausted. Ne.-cssary sequence is that native i\< gs iiiii moot the market needs ml in addition to the scarcity of !.? so. the disturbing- factor of "poor .amity" must be added. In previous .. < urs Tennessee hogs were plenti1 . vh through February and up into | Inch. Average prices now paid rx. bees are 10 and 10 1-2 cents, [ 1th t' c prospects sharp advancI ; in vie immediate future. .Ivmilar conditions prevail in the . I'l'ket foi beef cattle, Few can be nparted and the available supply of ' live grown cattle consists largely . 1 -o "scrub" variety. "Always bewo had 400 to 500 cattle ahead, 1 i ring fed for the late winter and t' spring months. This year we v.'ven't any in sight and 1 believe I 1 e same situation prevails with othbut 'hers in Cohimb'a." The rean advanced by Mr. Miller for the Kplcted supply of foreign cattle and i 'u gs was the extremely heavy drafts for the European armies. "All the ' ) tter quality hogs and cattle 1 hroughout the West wore puchased .'or the European markets, because they couhl pay better prices than obinei! in the South."

It would help you and your neighbors to get under each others skin. Have you organized a farm loan |association in your community? It ; would enable you to borrow money | at a cheap rate of interest. Why not paint the farm houses? Nothing looks better than a white house in green surroundings. Paint is not altogether out of sight either, (let your neighbors to order with you. Large orders are always cheap er than smaller ones. Cut out and burn all twigs on the pear and apple trees affected with blight. The disease won't spread so j badly if this is done. If you are building roads, build 1 good roads. Make them so they will ! last and be a credit to your com* vnunity. Buy your supplies cooperatively and not individually. You will save much by this. Where is your road scraper? The old split log drag is the road scrape for the farmer to use. Have it ready to use on the roads after every a in. Persuade your neighbor to do i the same. I
