"Sec. 10. That no dealer shall be 

 prosecuted under the provisions of this 

 act when he can establish a guarantee 

 signed by the wholesaler, jobber, manu- 

 facturer or other party residing in the 

 United States, from whom he purchases 

 such articles, to the effect that the same 

 is not adulterated or misbranded within 

 the meaning of this act designating it." 



To section 9 the following amendment 

 is suggested: "Fourth, If it is intended 

 for use on vegetation and shall contain 

 any substance or substances which, al- 

 though destroying, repelling or mitigat- 

 ing insects, shall be injurious to such 

 vegetation. ' ' 



The Association of Economic Entomo- 

 logists is anxious for the passage of the 

 bill at the present session of congress, 

 but with adjournment little more than a 

 week away the chances are not bright, as 

 the manufacturers of insecticides will 

 wish to be heard by the senate commit- 

 tee on agriculture before the passage of 

 the act. 



WILSON MAY RESIGN. 



It again has been reported that Secre- 

 tary of Agriculture James Wilson, who 

 has held his cabinet portfolio longer 

 than any member of the cabinet, has 

 announced to several of his friends that 

 he is about to resign. Should Mr. Wil- 

 son resign before the expiration of Pres- 

 ident Roosevelt's term in March, 1909, 

 there is little doubt that his successor 

 will be Gifford Pinchot, the United 

 States forester. It is known that the 

 president would gladly give him a cabi- 

 net position if the opportunity offered. 

 Mr. Wilson entered President McKin- 

 ley's cabinet March 5, 1897, and has 

 served continuously ever since.

flowers, hence it is necessary that due 

 attention be given to convenience in get- 

 ting to the plants, both for the purpose 

 of picking and in order to have access 

 at all times so as to take the necessary 

 steps to prevent the inroads of disease 

 and insects. 



A violet house may be any length or 

 any width. Our preference is for houses 

 from 100 to 150 feet in length, twelve 

 feet wide, seven feet to the ridge and 

 running north and south. This form of 

 construction is comparatively inexpensive 

 and enables the utilization of one walk 

 in the center, with beds on either side 

 easily reached from the walk. It is not 

 necessary here to go into a full descrip- 

 tion of the question of heating, venti- 

 lating, water conveniences, and so on.
