New York. Dec. 27.—Reports from
the New Jersey coast this morning
were that the gale and high tide
had about subsided. The Scahrlghti
fishermen.were working to restore!
their homes which were destroyed,'
while others wero badly wrecked. |
Two barges which were wrecked;
yesterday, have broken up. The:
ten sailors forming the crews were|
drowned, but their bodies have not

The presence of thousands ofi
rats along the border of Flushing
Bay, and South Brooklyn, was an
Interesting foature In that section
today. The high waters had driven
the rats from the wharves and ^
warehouses. They invaded the dry |
cellars near by. People armed with
clubs fought them for several hours,
and men, hoys and dogs killed thou
sands of them in the streets.

Editor Tlmes-Enterprtse:
Please permit me to explain
through the columns of your valua
ble a per Just hov- that car load of
supplies was made up and shipped
to the Georgia Baptist Orphans
Heme at Hapevllle, Ga.
The Campbell Association, nt Its
last session appointed a committee to
look after this work, and my un
derstanding Is that the Mercer As
sociation appointed a similar com
mittee, Mr. C. M. Robinson being
Chairman of tho Mercer Commit
tee, and Rev. T. A. White chairman
of the Campbell Committee.
Mr. Robinson and I agreed to load
a car jointly, which agreement was
carried ,out and wo shipped the car
to the Home at Hapevllle.
Mr. Robinson worked hard, and
his churches and friends did well.
Now I accord them all 1 due credit for
what they have done and Join him
In offering thanks to all who as
sisted ns In this good work, nnd In
voke Heaven's benediction on them
nnd theirs. I claim no credit for
what I have done, but I do think
that as an act of justice to the
churches of the Campbell Associa
tion. that her churches should havo
credit for her Interest In that val
uable car load of provisions and
roods, which we sent to our orphan
children.
With a desire for "Peace on
Earth and Good Will to all People,”
permit me to say, no more joint cars
for me. My motto Is, in the future,
a full car load from each Associa
tion. Yours truly,

Chicago, Dec. 27.—Paul Stcns-
land, a former bank president, who
absconded with a half million dol
lars In 1906, Is not.' devoting his life
to repaying the depositors.
Tills fai t tva’s announced last night
by Janies Kelly, who traced the
banker to Morocco, where he was
captured. Stenslsnd was brought to
Chicago, whero ho made a full con
fession, chnrglng Henry \V. Her
ring, the bank’s cashier with the
responsibility of the balance of tho
two million dollar shortage. Stcns-
land served a four-year prison term,
and Herring also served a term.
Kelley today sahl that Stensland
had made good since leaving pris
on, and that he had made lots of
money. He has placed fifty per cent,
of it In Kelly's hands, and hopes to
add to It until he can pay the fifteen
per cent, that the hank's receiver
couldn’t. It Is reported that more
than one hundred thousand dollars
will he required to discharge all of
the debt.

New York, Dec. 27.—Tlizre
distinct improvement this week
the prevailing sentiment of the fi
nancial world. The Stock market
which has Ion:? been under depress
ing Influences, responded to the
liange, with the best exhibition of
sustained strength of several months
past.
The currency bill's passage, with
its lato changes which wero favora
bly interpreted In financial circles,
together with the re-assuring state
ment of President Wilson, when he
signed that measure, had much to
lo with the improving sentirient.
The Administration's attitude re
garding the trust situation, and tho
expressed belief that other • large
orporations would follow the lead
of the American Telephone and Tele
graph Company, in settling their
differences with the government out
<f <oi:rt, also had much influence in
business circles.
It was due to there things, and
the fact that tho market was over
sold at the recent doeline, that the
recent stock rise was due.
In this connection it is announced
that the railroads of the country
showed large decreases in their earn
ing during the month of November,
but better times are now anticipated.

How Entomological Department Keeps
Infested Plants and Trees Out
of Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga.—It Is Impossible to es
timate in dollars and cents, says the
Georgia State Board of Entomology,
what this state has saved in the re
cent past on account of strict quaran
tine laws against plant insects and
diseases. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars more might havo been saved,
if the quarantine laws had been en
acted in tiuio to keep out such pests
as tho destructive San Jose scale.
Native enemies to vegetation, says
the department, in a recent bulletin,
havo grown steadily worse with im
proved agriculture; and it is the duty
of tlio state, through the department,
as well as through laws governing tho
shipment here of plants and trees, to
meet these problems of seriously in
jurious Insects and diseases, to eradi
cate them where possible, and in arty
event to minimize their power to de

Makes Careful Inspection.
Through tho Stato Department of
Entomology, Georgia now makes an
annual Inspection of all plants and
trees offered tor sale In the state,
and doos not permit the sale or distri
bution of a single specimen that Is
diseased. The department, likewise,
maintains, under the Georgia laws, a
strict quarantine against Infested
nursery stock from other states and
foreign countries. No nursery stock
can be shipped Into Georgia from any
where unless It has a certificate of
Inspection from the entomologist In
the state or coutnry In which It origi
nates, as well as a certificate from
the Georgia Department of Entomol
ogy. Any shipments, made other
wise, are In violation of the Georgia
law and subject to prosecution. No
person can even give legally to Ills
friend or neighbor trees or plants un
less they havo beon Inspected by the
State Board of Entomology and found
to be hoaltby.
With the exception of tho boll wee
vil there are no more serious Insect
peats occurring In this country than
brown tail and gypsy moths now pres
ent In New England and many parts
of Europe. There Is a strict quaran
tine on all plants from New England
and other tofested areas of Europe.
This Is regarded as so Important that
a careful Inspection of nil shipments
of nursery stock from foreign coun
tries Is made upon arrival In the stato,
even though such shipments bear a
certificate of Inspection from an offi
cial Inspector.
Other Dangerous Pests.
Some of the pests which are serious,
and do not now occur In Georgia, are
the MorellOs fruit worm found In Mex
ico, the olive fruit worm of the Medi
terranean countries, nnd various scale
Insects attacking fruit trees in China,
Japan and other Oriental countries
which aro Just as serious as San Joso
scale. Some of the plant diseases arc
such diseases as "potato wart" found
In Hungary and now occurring In Eng
land and other European countries
and In Now Foundland; and the white
pine blister rust of Europe which
would probably mean complete de
struction of our pines.
Tho Georgia quarantine against
Mexican cotton boll weevil consists of
a strict prohibition of the shipment of
all articles from hell weevil areas that
are liable to contain weevils such as
seed cotton, cotton seed, cotton seed
hulls, cotton seed sacks, pickers’
sacks, corn In shuck, Spanish moss
and household goods packed In any
materials liable to contain weevils.
Until recently thdrt was a strict quar
antine against 'cotton lint In bqVss or

tomologists to bo entirely safe to per

Atlanta, Ga.—The mole cricket,
which is causing much trouble to
farmers, particularly In southeastern
Georgi, is believed to have been
brought into Georgia from the
West Indie, and for the past fif
teen years it has been gradually mak
ing Its way to the interior wherever
It can find sandy loam or K>aty soils,
which constitute its favo#£e and al
most exclusive abode.
The mole cricket is a brownish-col
ored bug about one and a quarter
inches long with six strong and well
developed legs. Its fore-front legs aro
highly specialized and these, together
with its head, constitute its burrowing
apparatus with which it tunnels
through the ground very much like
the mole, whence its name.
The mole cricket mates in the early
spring, and the eggs are deposited
from April 15 to June 15, an Important
fact in connection with the work of
their extermination,

not confine Its feeding to one particu
lar plant. It will feed on practically
all truck crops, such as lettuce, pep
per, tomatoes, turnips and potatoes,
and upon pastures and lawns which
suffer severely.
Young sugar cane is also a much-de
sired article of diet. Both the potato
vine and potatoes themselves are eat
en. The cricket severs the vines of
tomatoes, potatoes and peppers Just
below the surface of the ground. As
much as fifty per cent, of a field of
potatoes has been destroyed by the
crickets eating into the tubers.
Probably the most effective method
yet presented in controlling the mole
cricket Is to plow the breeding areas
two or three times between April 15
and June 15. This exposes the eggs
in large numbers to the sun which
kills them, or they may bo eaten by
insectlverous animals.
In the case of young and tender
plants, preventive measures have of
ten been employed with good effect,
such as placing around them tin, wire
gauze or paper cylinders. A very
good tin cylinder is made by melting
the top and bottom off a tin tomato
can. The cylinder should extend about
two inches abovo the ground. All hot
beds in an Infested area should havo
solid or gauze wire floors, preferably
the latter, and with fine mesh, and
they should be screened over during
the night, as that is the time when
the cricket does most of its feeding.
How to Kill Them.
For destroying the crickets poison
baits have been used with good re
sults. Arsenate of lead may be used
in proportion of three pounds to fifty
gallons of water, or paris green in
proportion of one-half ounce to a
bucket of water. Mash made of bran,
corn meal and cottop seed meal with
this poison incorporated, and placed
in the fields where the crickets feed
will attract them, and the eating of
it kills them. Care must be taken
to see that no animals run at large
