THE INSECTICIDE ACT OF 1910. 



At the last session of Congress, a 

 Bill was passed which is known as 

 "The Insecticide Act of 1910." for pre- 

 venting the manufacture, sale or trans- 

 portation of adulterated and misbrand- 

 ed Paris Greens. Lead Arsenates, and 

 other insecticides and also fungicides, 

 and for regulating traffic therein, and 

 for other purposes. 



A notice was sent out by the solici- 

 tor of the Agricultural Department, 

 calling for a public hearing on Thurs- 

 day, October 20th, at 216 13th street, 

 Washington, D. C, of all persons inter- 

 ested in the bill. The Bill provides for 

 the making of rules and regulations for 

 the enforcement and a committee com- 

 posed of R. E. Cabell, Commissioner 

 of Internal Revenue, Charles Earl. So- 

 licitor of the Department of Commerce 

 and Labor, and George P. McCabe, So- 

 licitor of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture, Chairman, and this Committee, 

 upon assemblying asked those who 

 were present if they had any views to 

 express on the law, so that the Depart- 

 ment may be guided in framing rules 

 and regulations. As the committee had 

 nothing themselves to propose, all that 

 there was said was a rather Informal 

 expression of opinion by various people 

 Interested and the largest part of 

 which was the submittal of samples 

 of pyrethrum powder. 



The sense of the law, as finally 

 summed up was that it was to prevent 

 the marketing of bogus material or 

 the misrepresentation in describing 

 what the goods would do and this law 

 takes effect on .lanuary 1st, 1911.

A FAILURE IN BOSTON. 



We are sorry to have to announce 

 the assignment, on October 26, of 

 William E. Doyle, who conducts two 

 retail stores of the first class, one on 

 Boylston street and one on Beacon 

 street. Mr. Doyle is one of the old- 

 est established florists in Boston— or, 

 for that matter— in the United States. 

 Forty years ago, in partnership with 

 Thomas W. Dee. as Dee & Doyle, he 

 was well-known as a leader in his pro- 

 fession and he has always since main- 

 tained the highest standard of quality 

 and efficiency. Much sympathy is ex- 

 pressed for Mr. Doyle throughout all 

 branches of the trade. The amount 

 involved is about $40,000 and most 

 of the large growers and wholesale 

 dealers are hard hit at a time when 

 the blow is most keenly felt. What 

 action they will take in the matter is, 

 as yet, uncertain. John J. Cassidy. 

 an employee of Mr. Doyle, is the as- 

 signee.
