The department, during the last 'It'Crl year,, employed 034 people in ;o-operative work in the eradication and control of citrus canker in the southern states. It has been found that a few thor nigh applications of crude petroleum o the interior of poultry houses will destroy completely the common red mlto Infesting chickens. The longest continuous flight ol any bird Is made by the golden plo ver. From Nova Scotia to the coast of South America, the entire fligh of 2,400 miles is accomplished with out pause or reRt. A device has been originated b; ipecialists of tlio department which promises a more satisfactory and practical application of the hot-watei treatment for the prevention of loos smut of wheat and barley.
