AS indicated above. Loomarwick ho- tel and buildings and land belonging thereto, passed out of, the hands o1 Robert A. Marcy, trustee. on Monday Of this week to a syndicate composed of Mrs May Beeman of Lakeside, H $. Mygatt of New Milford, H. L. Felt of New York City, James Mooney of Brooklyn, N. Y., and N. w. Bishop of Bridgeport, who will be joint owners and disposers of it for purposes as ye' unknown. The writer would be pleas ed to see the right party obtaining the same for first class hotel purpose and make from it an inn which woulo accommodate good number of guests cation is among the best around Lake Waramaug. The conveniences of wa ter, baths, etc., can be unexcelled. A house could be erected on the spa cious grounds which would easily ac- commOdate 300 guests. With such an attraction it might be easier to Ob- tain a trolley line and other attrac- tions and conveniences we have long ed to see and enjoy for years. We hope this property has fallen into the best hands possible for the permanent improvement of Lake Waramaug and LOOmarwick.

cHAMBERLAINs COUCH REMEDY .-....- THE BEST MADE.

''In my opinion Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy is the best made for colds, !" says Mrs. Cora Walker of Porterville, California. There is no doubt about it's being the best. No other will cure a cold so quickly. No other is so sure a preventive of pneumonia. No other is so pleasant and safe to take. These are good reasons why it should be pre- ferred to any other. The fact is that few people are satisfied with any oth- CT after having once used this remedy. ciT es.

SCALE ON ORANGE
TREES. SOME EXPERIENCES
OF w. r. warm.

AS the writer has been giving
his views on how conditions in
marketing oranges might be inn
proved he thought he would give
the results of little experience in
keeping the scale on orange trees
in subsection.
Some say spray, some say use
salt. while others say leave them
TO be destroyed by the lady bug"
and the red fungi.
The writer's experience is that
salt and not very much either, on
small trees that are any ways bad
~ infected, will kill the trees with
the scale.
The lady bug" and red fungi
are entirely too slow. Spraying
the writer has not tested.
The writer has used tobacco dust
applied as a dry dust spray with
the most beneficial results.
1t does the double office of in
secticide and fertilizer. 1t does
not kill either the lady bug" or
red fungi, but 1t is dead shot to
the scale wherever it comes in con
tact with it.
There may be on first application
some scale beneath the thorns and
leaves which may not be saturated
with the dust and it may need a
second application. If such is the
case the writer applies it.
In conjunction with the tobacco
dust a small portion Of salt on the
ground has given excellent re-
suits, But it is the opinion Of the
writer that the use Of salt alone
retards the flow Of sap in the tree.
The writer has obtained most ex-
cellent results from the use of the
tobacco dust alone.
The time to apply it is early in
the morning while the dew is OH,
or Immediately after a rain.
The writer has not yet tested it
on large bearing trees, but will
shortly. He will use dry dust
powder spray pump, With this
two hands can spray ten acre
grove in less than half day. The
writer uses the high grade tobacco
dust made from tobacco stems and
analizing 3% ammonia and 1917
potash.
The writer does not claim to be
the first to discover the use of to-
bacco dust for scale but came to
him by way of suggestion from a
fertilizer agent, also from reading
on the subject of insecticides.
But the writer has tumbled on
tVo other important discoveries in
orange culture and orange pro-
duction that he will not give away
yet awhile.
Now, by way of advertising our
business we win say that our nur-
series are practically free from in
sects and are in most healthy
condition top and bottom.
We would like for some Of the
other nurserymen of DeSoto
county to sit up minute and take

cent on unbudded sour stock We
are not saying that we know the
conditions that produce scab or
that we know the remedy. More

WE SAW AND DID.


ard Of trade about fifty editors
N legislators took in the ex-
prsion up the caloosahatchee
iver through what are known as
Disston canals OH up into Lake

Most. of the editors and legis-
TORS passed through Arcadia ON
heir way to TT. Myers on Monday
touing the remainder following
bat evening
The majority Of the editors were
rovided for at the Bradford, a
comparatively new hotel of COM
iOdious proportions, the remainder
|sng provided for at the Hill
House.
A On Tuesday morning at about
o'clock the editorial and legis-
ative party accompanied by the
h. Myers entertainment COM
hittee started on their trip up the
beautiful Caloosahatchee River.
The river is quite wide at TT.
Myers but gradually narrows up
|intil it strikes the canals and lakes
That lead into Okeechobee.
The government has done con
siderable work in the way Of clean
ng the trees and rubbish from the
liver bed. Since the opening of
|he canals above parts of the river
haye been gradually filling UP with
muck as well as the roofing of
some variety of long grass along
ihe bottom of much of this river.
The river is swift enough so that
DO trouble is caused by water

This spread was preceded by

other vegetables as we'll as doing
much harm to orange groves. AS
an instance / heard a Mr.. Blount
say iii TT Myers on last Wednes-
day night that he has a grove in
Alva for which he was offered a
good check for $4,000 last year and
today he doubts very much If he
could get $1,000. Nothing the
matter with it but high water and
it is on the highest land of any
grove around. Do you wonder
they say, Come over into
Mascedouia and help Us" by
lowering Lake Okeechobee so that
they never more will be flooded.
We proceeded on up the river
after dinner. The banks and most
Of the land close in was covered
with a growth consisting mostly
of cabbage palmetto with a
sprinkling of oak and other
growth AS we progressed farther
up and into the Everglades the
cabbage gave way to saw grass and
maiden cane. 1t was also dotted
here and there with bonnets,
lettice, willows, etc. Taylor
Frierson is authority for the state
ment that when the water is low
enough for the cattle to wade in to
the canal the cattle grow fat on
maiden cane.
AS the river grew smaller it was
helped out with short stretches Of
canal so that at times it was inn
possible in certain places it was
impossible to tell whether it was
canal OF river.
The proportion of canal kept on
increasing until it was all canal for
several miles before we immerged
into Lake Flirt. This is a beauti-
full lake several miles across and is
connected with Lake Hickopee by
a Sanal several miles long. We
went up into Lake Hipochee
about a mile and anchored for the
night We had a cool breeze all
night and if a mosquito bit any
one they failed to report the fact.
The next morning we aroused
ourselves about FIVE O'Clock and
soon after eating breakfast were
speeding merrily on our way
towards Lake Okeechobee. The
boats we're dashed together at first
so as to give an easy opportunity
for those desiring to visit back and
forth. This gave us some time
together as Lake Hickapokee is
about as far across as you can see
and the boats weren't unlashed UNI
til we had nearly reached the
canal leading into Lake Okeecho-
bee. The growth on the banks OF
this canal and in fact as far as the
eye can see on either side is most
" saw grass, willows and other
growths that usually go with
those mentioned. | saw no
maiden cane here.
We proceeded on UP through
this canal into Lake Okeechobee.
We only staid in Okeechobee
about half an hour before starting
on the return trip.
On the way back we dropped
most Of those we had picked up
going and part Of the entertain
ment committee.
We stopped at Alva on the re-
turn trip. AT this place reso-
lutions were drafted and passed
