He wrote very kindly, but as though
he was addressing a person possibly a
little daft on the subject of bananas,
and likewise intimated that it was un-
fortunate that the seasons in which it
could be fruited were so rare.
Now these two high authorities on
agriculture in Florida may think am
wild on banana culture. Ali I know is
this: Bananas, that is the selling of
the fruit in the local market, furnished
the first firm footing for the soles of

Bordeaux Mixture For
Mangos and Avocados
By Prof. P. J. Wester.

)
It has doubtless attracted the atten-
ton of the more observant how ex-
tremely few flowers of the mango and
avocado develop to perfect fruits as
compared with the millions that go to
waste annually without accomplishing
their purpose. An inquiry as to the
cause would probably elicit the reply
that it was due either to the poverty
Of the soil, climatic influences, (such as
excessive rains or insufficient moisture
in the soiD or, if the inter1ocutor
were we'll informed, ito imperfect polli-
nation. All these conditions are more
or less influential in the setting of the
fruit. Within the last few years still
more destructive agent has been, not
developed, but discovered, in the form
Of fungus, Colletotrichum sp, which
under favorable circumstances enters
the tissues of the flower and blights it.
It suggested itself that Bordeaux mix
ture might be used as successful COM
bative for this evil, although it was
rather novel enterprise to spray fruit
trees when in bloom. Spraying has
for two seasons been successfully ap-
piled in an experimental way and has,
in some instances where repeated
several times during the blooming
season, more than doubled and trebled
the yield of fruit by preventing the de-
struction of the flowers by the fungus,
and can now, without hesitation, be
recommended to the public. The fun
gus spreads more rapidly during wet
weather and when the nights are damp
and foggy, hence the beneficial efforts
would be more noticeable during wet
and rainy spring than if the weather
continues dry. To render the remedy
most effective the results thus far seen.
to indicate that the trees should be
sprayed as the first flowers make. their
advent Should the weather continue
dry, it would perhaps not be necessary
to spray again until the second bloom
appears. If the rains wash off the
Bordeaux mixture, it would be neces-
sary to make a second application to
secure full benefits It should be ex-
press1y understood that it is the flow
ers that should be sprayed The spray
ing of the foliage and branches would,
of course, tend to reduce the multipli-
cation and spread of the disease, but
it would not be so effective as if the

wish to lay special emphasis on this,

public as injurious to the ratification

COMBATING
CUCUMBER LICE

This pest destroys many hundred
acres of cucumbers and melons each
year. Every grower of these vegetables
should make study of exterminating
this insect, as it means the success or
failure Of his entire crop.
There being a foundation for all
things to build on, so there is one most
important basis from which to work in
destroying cucumber lice.
The grower should procure from a
reliable seed house his seed Of the best
quality, seed that have been grown un-
der climatic conditions best adapted to
their fullest development, the plants
having been free from lice He will
then secure stand which is healthy
and more able to withstand the attacks
of insects.
II the grower wishes to be on the
safe side, he should spray his entire
crop with kerosene emulsion before the
lice have appeared. Then spray the
second time in about ten days. This
will almost insure his crop against
these bugs
Should the lice appear he should go
over his field and pull up each infected
plant and burn it at once. Then spray
his entire field with kerosene emulsion,
using a goose-neck nozzle in order to
reach the under side OF the leaves. If
this is done deliberately, the grower
will soon rid himself Of this pest.
To make kerosene emulsion, take OF
good hard soap Gin fine shavings), one
half pound; soft water, one gallon;
kerosene, two gallons.
Dissolve soap in boiling water, add
the kerosene to the hot water, churn
the mixture with spraying pump until
it changes to creamy, then to butter
milk moss color. This gives three gal
Ions Of 66 per cent of oil emulsion,
which may be diluted to the strength
desired. Add ten and one-half gallons
Of soft water to this amount to make
10 per cent kerosene emulsion. This
strength will give the best results.
Kerosene emulsion has given the
best results of any exterminator known.
In fact, it is the only sure way for a
cucumber or melon grower to be sue.

Uniform Taxation.

At tho late torn OF the Halifax Court,
Judge Barksdalo called the attention OF
tho grand Jury to the property assess-
1,ents. Our correspondent says that the
jury wero In session nine days, most
OF the time being occupied In examining
tho commissioner.s books OF assessment
FOR 1906 as provided for by section 67S
OF tho Code. They summoned and ex-
aminod 200 or $50 people. and rep orted
as tho result OF their Investigation q gain
OF upwards Of $50, 900, most Of which adj
taition was In income. Tho jury IN their
report to the court say: Tho failure or
neglect to mako q. proper return wo be-
lieve to BIO duo principally to ignorance
or misconception Of tho law in regard
to tho income tax, and not from any
fraudulent intent"

only in the Immediate benefit to tho
Commo In adding $4,000 to Its

The problem Of cqualizlng taxation In
