10 STOP CITRUS FRUIT LOSSES

wellinformed authority says "The loss by decay
of citrus fruits in transit and storage has been from
quarter to half million dollars annually, shrnkage
too enormous to go without effort to reduce it,"
The daily reports from the eastern markets are cited
evidence that point In instances the loss
has been reported high 40 per cent per
of loss is quite common.
1t is gratifying to learn however that promising
effort is in progress to arrest this heavy drain the
profits of citrus fruit One of the MOST practical
lines of service undertaken by the federal department of
agriculture is the study of conditions whereby loss
the orange growers suffer may be minimized. A
pomoogist of recognized reputation who in the serv
ice of that department G. H. Powell has been engaged
lately in investigating the leading the re-
ferred to. AS result of the investigation thus far the
general assurance is given that the is to large
degree avoidable
AS learn from the Riverside Enterprise "Mr
Powell has demonstrated that three conditions must ex
list to produce decay in citrus fruits namely high tenn
perature moisture and damaged skins" The next thing
is to show how these conditions may controlled and
this the expert has succeeded in doing has done it.
mot by single experiments in a single way" says the
Enterprise, "bu in actual practice large scale re-
peated and again, in various orchards and
packing houses, in several different places with uniform
success"
This encouraging disclosure confirms what The Her.
aid has repeatedly alluded to the only drawback TO
larger with citrus fruit products That is To
say there is still great deal to learn concerning the
best methods of cultivation and marketing The work
of the pomoogst is conclusive evidence on
that point. But the process of education is going ON
rapidly now and there is doubt that the near future
will see all the present defects remedIed

JAHUGH MOORE.

The gentleman whose name
heads this notice is a candidate
Tor the nomination for the very
important Office of sheriff of Ben
ton County, and as he is a staunch
Democrat, will be subject TO the
action OF his party in the primary
election on Saturday, September
23, 1905. Jahugh Moore is so well
known in Benton County that he
needs no word of commendation,
but as we have often before stated
1T is pleasure to speak of man
of whom no i'll can be said. Mr..
Moore was reared in Benton Coun-
ty, is a product of the farm and is
now engaged in that worthy occu-
patton. Born and reared on the
farm, Mr. Moore was taught the
value of hard work, economy and
every day honesty, and from boy
hood learned to treat his fellow
man right. He served six years as
constable Of the third, his home
district, and it is conceded by all
persons, Democrats and Repubi-
cans alike, that he made one of the
best constables the district ever
had, and his record as tax assessor,
which office he held four years, is
a guarantee to the people that if
elected to the Office of sheriff he
will make them good officer. Mr..
Moore has been candidate before
for the Office of sheriff, making two
races. While not so we'll known
then as now he made clean sweep
in the section of our county where
he was best known in both races.
In his last race he received very
fattering vote, but not enough to
elect. In this race he carried five
districts, and the fourth district
give him every vote but one-a
high compliment from those who
know him best. Mr.. Moore is a
Democrat Of the deepest dye, hon
est and trustworthy. We ask a
careful consideration of his claims
before the September primary.

A. NJ. McKELvEY.

In the proper column of The
CHRONICLE will be found the an
nouncement of A. N. McKelvey of
the old fifth district as a candidate
for election to the office Of circuit
court clerk of Benton County sub
ject to the action of the Democrat
ic primary Saturday, September
%, 1905. Mr.. McKelvey is young
man of fine reputation, and whose
qualification and ability is unques-
toned. He was brought up on the
farm, and like most farmer boys he
has learned the lessons of industry
and economy, though his unfortu-
nate physical condition has pre-
vented him from making the ad-
vancement in life coveted by the
ambitious boy. The ambition he
now cherishes is a worthy one. and
one which is never ignored by the
public. To rise in life should be
the purpose and ambition Of every
one, and the public generally de-
light to lend helping hand to the
young man who tries to climb
higher. He is honest, reliable,
and Industrious and worthy of the
confidence Of the people. He is
painstaking and courteous in his
business methods, and should he
be elected clerk would make a cap
able and accommodating official.
While his father is Republican,
Mr.. McKelvey espoused the cause
of Democracy when quite boy,
and he asks all Democrats to care
fully look into his record and see
if he is not justly entitled to their
confidence and endorsement in the
primary election September next.
Though not extensively known,
Mr.. McKelvey has many warm
personal friends who will take
pleasure in supporting him, and
the number will increase. We
commend his claims to the care
full consideration of all Democrats.

c. L. HERRIN.

The CHRONICLE is authorized to
announce G. l.. Herrin as candi-
date for sheriff, subject to the ac-
ton of the Democratic primary
Saturday, September 29, 1905. A
more jollier citizen than Mr. Her
rim can not be found in Benton
County. He is resident of the
Big Sandy community, where he
grew to manhood on the farm, and
he is one of our best farmers. He
is one of the younger Democratic
workers of our county and is true
and loyal to the principles of the
party, always taking an active part
in every campaign. There is not
q Democrat in the county that
works harder and is more loyal to
the grand old party than Mr.. Her.
rim. He is we'll educated, and pos
sesses many qualities that thor
oughly equip him for the duties
of the office he is seeking. There
is not a man anywhere that would
make a better sheriff than Mr..
Herrin. He is in the full prime
of young manhood, and knows the
value,of sobriety, industry, homes
ty, and integrity qualities which
his mature judgment has brought
to him in good degree. He is
whole-souled, generous, courte-
Gus and polite fellow, true to his
friends, just to everybody, giving
to others and claiming for himself
true and genuine friendship, JUS
tice and liberality. He is now ac-
lively engaged in canvassing the
county and desires to see every
voter. The office of sheriff is
very important one, and it takes
man Of ability to fill it, but Mr..
Herrin has all the necessary quail
ifications to fill the place. In his
ambition to serve the people Mr..
Herrin deserves Reconsideration
of everybody, and he will certain
ly appreciate your vote and infu-
ence.
