The Experiment Station.

Prof P. H. Rolls, Director of the
Florida Experiment Station, gave an
address before the Florida State Horti-
cultural Society, ON the cooperative
work of the station. He began by
a clear statement of the law under
which the appropriation for the sta
tons are made. He shows that they
are limited, by the requirements of
the law, and cannot do many things
that they would be glad to do, if per-
mitted. He brings out the great need
that there is of an appropriation from
the state. We hope that you will not
only read the address carefully, but
that it will arouse you to the need of
help. See or write to the members of

This Weeks Paper.

The leading article this week is
Prof Rolls paper on Experiment
Station Work. We hope that every
one of you will read it. We call your
attention to a special editorial on the
subject, elsewhere.
We have urged the need of the adop-
ton of the Torrens system OF reglstra-
ton of land titles. In a spirit Of fair
ness, we give, this week, an article
which takes ground against it. We
hope that you will read Our argument
in reply as given in another column.
The size of the coming crop of cit
rus fruits is question Of great inter-
est to every grower of those fruits
Both sides of the question are given in
an article this week.
The celery growers about Sanford
have almost a monopoly of the North
ern markets. Yet it is no doubt true
that there are thousands of acres in
other parts of the state which will
grow just as good crops of celery as
are raised at Sanford. The article on
the subject is brief but you may find
a hint which will be valuable to you,
if you would like to try the crop.
If any of you have friends at the
North whom you would like to induce
to come to Florida, send them this
weeks paper and call their attention to
the article about immigration.
The labor problem is difficult one,
any light on the question is desirable.
This week we have two articles which
are well worth reading.
Some Of you may not have had an
opportunity to study up on the. white
fly. If at all interested you will find
an article describing the pest in this
weeks paper.

The Torrens System Of Registering
Land Titles.

For several months we have been
printing articles favoring this system
and editorials urging its adoption by
this state We had hoped to see some
Of our exchanges take up the matter
and help along the good cause. SO
far we have been disappointed, only
one, Miami paper has given any space
to the subject. Several Northern ex-
changes have advocated the adoption
OF this simple mode of transferring
land titles. Up to last week, we had
not seen anything in opposition to
it. This week we give space to an
article opposing the adoption of it by
the states of this country.
We know nothing of the writer, and
do not wish to do him any injustice
But we strongly suspect that he has
an interest in Directing to this new sys-
tenn. Possibly he is lawyer or one
of the owners of set of abstract
books, which would be worthless after
the Torrens system was adopted.
The very facts which he states are
mostly an argument in favor OF slmpl1-
fvinq our methods. We do not see
that he advances single valid argu-
ment against the system. We do not
think that there is any constitutional
objection to the law. The fact that
Australia has no written constitution
is not an argument The Engllshman,
whether at home or in the colonies is
very tenacious of his rights. on
may be very sure that when the
Australian government gives a certi-
fcate of title, there is no one who has
another valid title. The very object
of this method is to get rid OF these
conflicting titles. How often it hap
pens that you may buy land and get
warrantee deed, you may occupy
and improve the place for years only
to find that some one else has better
title than you and that the one who
gave YOU the deed is not responsible
and that YOU lose the whole investment.
We have known of one such case in
this state and have heard Of others.
Of course, if the government should
undertake to guarantee titles, some
means Of quoting all titles would have
TO- no devised Probably IF the fact
that a certificate was to be granted to
such and such. parties, if no other
claimants appeared before certain
time, was publicly advertised for
definite time, that would shut out all
later claims.
We should be glad to see this ques-
ton discussed by the editors of our ex-
changes

the legislature from your county and
do all in your power to enlist their
aid for the desired appropriation.
We would be glad to have the edit
ors of our state exchanges consider
this matter, and if it is a worthy OBJ
ject, give it all the help in their pow0r.

The White Fly.

as published by the Arcadia Champion,
will also hold good for other parts Of
this state. Orange growers in other
sections are interested to know all that
| is to be learned about this insect.
| In view of the fact that the orange
growers of DeSoto county are threat
ened with visitation of that scourge
of citrus trees the ''White Fly (Aley-
rodes citri Riley and Howard) it might
be timely to give all information pos
sib1e to the hundreds of citrus grow
ers of DeSoto county who are not
familiar with this insect.
The following is from c. L. Mar.
latt's report to the secretary of agrl-
culture in 1900.
1.-The white fly of Florida and the
gulf region is strictly not scale insect,
but belongs to a closely allied family.
In general appearance and habits, how
ever at least in lis economic features. It
exactly duplicates the true scale insect,
and would be classed with them by
every nontechnical observer"
am sorry that it is impossible to
| furnish with cuts showing the various
| forms this insect assumes. [ will do
my best however, to describe some
of its forms. The fly is in form some
thing like honey bee with four
| wings, two on each side Of the body,
it is no larger than minute white
gnat.
The wings are chalky, of a fine gland
1lar texture, from which fact it is fire.
quently called the ''mealy wing
The egg is oval oblong, the length
being about three times the diameter,
and is attached to the leaf by a stem,
the young insect emerging from the
large end opposite to that attached to
the leaf. The larval insect greatly re-
sembles some forms of true scale in
sects, and is about three times the size
of the egg and of egg shape, but fiat.
The next stage is the pupa which IS
very like scale The scale or skin Of
the pupa cracks open on the back the
adult insect escaping. In the larvae
form the insect is provided with feet
and antennae but not in the pupa.
"For many years this very interest
| ing insect has been known to infect
the orange trees Of Florida and Louisi
ana and also to be a common pest on
the orange in green houses.
| 1t has been found also on a number
| Of plants other than the orange, such
as veburnun, cape jesmine, g1avas,
water oak and when very thick on
other forest trees. The fact of its
being found on other plants is of sig
nifcance only in indicating that it may
| be harbored in situations near grove,
in which efforts are being made to ex-
terminate it..
The first careful description of this
insect and general account Of it's, habits
were given by Riley and Howard in
1893. e
THE damage by this insect, due,
perhaps only seoondarily, to the sap
ping of the vital juices of the plant,
which, however, must be considerable,
(like the scale it sucks the juice of the
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-11-07

the insects fairly overlap.
The main injury, however, is due to
the secretion by this insect, in larvae
and pupal stages, of a honey dew
similar to that secreted by the true
scale insects
This secretion is in enormous
amount, and the sooty mold which de-
velops in it frequently covers the
entire upper surface of the leaves and
produces very serious effects on the
vitality of the plant. Frequently the
assimilation by the plant of nourish-
ment through the leaves is almost en-
tirely stopped.
The growth of the plant becomes
greatly checked, the fruit does not
ripen properly, is deficient in quality
and size, and keeps poorly, involving
the additional expense of washing be-
fore it can be packed and shipped.
The sooty mould is a vegetable or
fungi growth and is produced almost
altogether in Florida by this insect
q have observed the same growth pro-
duced by scale in this county In
California the black scale produces it,
"The life round of the insect, briefly,
is as follows: The winter is passed in
the mature larvae stage, as a thin, ELI
ptical, scale like object on the under
81 81 II, "a 1oox-ac
T arly III the spring the transforma-
ton to the pupal stage occurs. This
stage differs but slightly from the lar
vac in appearance. The adults begin to
appear by the middle of March and
continue to emerge into April
The eggs deposited by the brood
require about three weeks for develop
ment, Matching into larvae from the
middle of April to first of May
The adults of the second brood be-
gin to emerge by the middle of June
and continue to appear till the middle
Of July. Between the middle of July
and the middle of September third
brood is developed, the larvae of which,
Matching about the last of October,
carry the insect through the winter.
The number of eggs laid by single
female is in the neighborhood of
twenty-five and they are placed by
preference, upon new leaves, but all of
the plant is taken when the multiplied
ton of the insect makes it necessary
The young larva is active, resembling
closely the larva of true scale insect.
The life of an adult ranges from ten
to twenty days.
The most satisfactory remedies for
this insect, as demonstrated by the
experiments of Messrs. Swingle and
Weber, are kerosene and rosin wash
es. The treatment can best be made
during the winter, between December
and March, and again if necessary in
May, and also in August or early in
September Two or three applications
may be made in winter. The applica-
ton in August is made if the sooty
mould is found to be spreading to the
fruit -,
Since the insect lives on the under
side of the leaves almost exclusively,
it is Of prime Importance to see that
the under side is thoroughly wetted
