JUSTICES

BEFORE JANUARY FIRST
This Must be Done OK a
Vacancy Exists.
Outside the City Very Few Justices
of the Peace Have Sent In Their
Certificates.

Unless almost every justice OF the
peace elected in November sends his
certificate of election to the election
board before January /, the trustees,
in each township, will have the task
of making appointments TO tnese Of
fees and about fifteen or sixteen men
who were chosen by The people will
find themselves minus their jobs.
Under the law the justice OF the
peace must get him certificates OF
election from the clerk in each town.

the board of deputy supervisors of
elections. The board then forwards
the certificate to the state auditor,
who issues the warrant for the Off
cial.
II the ]. p. elect fails to do this
he fails to qualify for the office and
consequently on January / the office
becomes vacant and 1t is the duty of
the township trustees to fill the vac
ancy.
s. H. DeLong. Of the election
board, Friday called special atten-
tion to the law governing the quail
flying OF justices OF the peace, of
which most of those who are elect
ed seem to be quite ignorant. Out

or two of those elected have quail

MAYOR STILL
DISSATISFIED
Can not Take Same View 40
Council.
ORDINANCE UNSIGNED
And May 90 be Returned to
That Body.
The Arch Light Proposition to the
Chief Executive Looks Very Un.
business Like.

Mayor Scherf has not as yet signed
the ordinance authorizing the con-
lstruction OF electric light arches over
four different street intersections
which was passed at the last meeting
lof council and the indications are
that it will be returned to council
unsigned.
The mayor still believes that the
proposition Is not exactly business
like. There is no money to pay for
the construction of the arches and 1t
would be necessary for the council to
Authorize bond issue of about If
teen hundred dollars to pay for the
improvement. AS the present coun-
Gil will hold but one more meeting It
would be necessary for the new
council to take up the work and the
members of the council after the
first Of the year might refuse to
|carry out the desires Of the present
body.
At the present time the lighting
company charges IS per night for
lighting the four arches on the
square for period OF four hours.
II four more arches were constructed
the councilmen say that the arc light
,on the square and those at the 9TH
Ter street intersections would be taken
down. In that event 1t would be-
come necessary to light the arches
for at least twelve hours each night.
The company charges five dollars for
lighting the four arches four hours
hence at the same rate 1t would cost
fifteen dollars per night to light the
arches on the square. And II four
more were added the cost OF the
arches. burning all night would be
thirty dollars per night. In q
year, the cost of lighting that part
OF the business district would be
|&1o,950 to say nothing OF the re-
pairs and renewals necessary. The
arches would replace five arc lights
which cost the city each $S2. 80 per
year, making total OF $412 .25.. At
the same rate as is now in effect, the
arches would cost the city $10,537. .75
additional.
1T is expected that the price of the
lights will be reduced somewhat by
the company but 1t is certain that
1t would not be reduced enough TO
Justify the expenditure in the mind
|of the mayor.
Since the question has been up
for discussion the mayor has received
calls from business men in the west
end and also north Of the railroads on
Main street. These men believe they
are as much entitled to the additional
lighting as are those in the vicinity
OF the places where It is proposed to
places the arches.
III the mayor does not Sign the
ordi@nce 1t is expected that It will
be dropped entirely until the city is
In better condition to stand the Inn
provement.

A Flourishing Apple Tree in South
Florida.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
During a recent visit to BeIleair,
E11llsborough county, saw what l
never expected to see in South Florida.
1t was a hourishing apple tree grow
ing in the garden Of Mr.. Louis DucrOs
The tree was some II feet high, with
a good sized trunk, and an upward
growth like LeConte pear.
When I saw the tree it was the
middle Of September and Mr.. Ducros
had just picked enough apples to make
an apple pie, and the pie being eaten,
l did not get chance to judge the
quality Of the fruit, but there we're
still half grown apples and smaller
apples, and apples just set; and even
a few flowers.
Mr.. Ducros informed me that the
tree was almost everbearlng, but had
no special care, it's name he did not
know, as he had bought it some years
ago, from a negro.
1t was evidently on it's own roots as
it had suckered and the suckers were
the same as the main tree.
While it might not pay to grow this
apple for market, few trees would be
very useful in the home garden, for at
the present price Of apples, apple pie
is a, luxury, and almost everybody likes
apple pie.
1t seems to me it would be worth
while to propagate this apple, for with
care and selection it might lead to a
new race of Florida apples.
| have tried apples myself, and have
known others to try them, some will
live few years, and sometimes bear
little, but usually they soon die, and
the ones that don't die, don't bear.
Some Of our enterprising nurserymen
might take this apple up.
Hurrah for Florida apple pie!

good things for lovers OF the beautiful,

much farther north. But no .vegeta-
ton will stand freezing, when growing
and full Of sap. One year we had a
very late frost after the forest trees
had begun to grow and the leaves on
hickories, gum trees, ETC., were par
TALLY grown. After the frost the tree
tops looked as if fire had passed over
them. We do not think that any fig
will stand where they will start and
then freeze, but we do not have such
cold snaps every winter, SO we should
feel inclined to keep on trying.-Ed)
Can you give me some information
concerning the South Florida Fair at

held in February? What arrangements
are made for premiums, and what
money premiums are given? If any
inducements are made in this respect,

Here are some of the difficulties I
have met with in my horticultural pur-
suits:
I very much desire to raise the fig,
but have failed up to this time to do so.
The trouble seems to be altogether the
cold, or that the fig here is not in
condition to stand the temperatures of
February and March, 1t seems to
start to grow too soon, or as soon as
there is mild spell in February. 1t
gets IN such growing condition then
that a temperature of 20 degrees above
zero kills 1t to the ground
In banking with earth they usually
are rotted to the ground as though
scalded.
The only place they do anything is
on north side of a building, and are
often killed there while small.
Have usually tried the Celestial;
are there any others hardier?
Any suggestions will be thankfully
received. w. H. H.
eve do not know that one variety of
fig is any harder than another. All

Answers to Correspondents.

I have a fine crop of sweet potatoes
this year-about the best l have ever
grown, in fact-and as my luck will
have it the market prices Of the tubers
are so low this year it hardly seems
worth while to attempt to market them.
Do you think [ can use the potatoes
proftab1y as hog feed?
While potatoes make fairly good
food for hogs, they are not a complete
diet by any means, and in order to get
best results the potatoes should be
mixed with corn, or shorts. We hardly
think you can afford to use the pota-
toes as hog feed, unless the bottom has
dropped entirely out Of the market.
If you can get even as much as thirty
or forty cents per bushel for the pota-
toes, we think it would be better to
sell them at that price than to feed
them to your hogs.
Several years ago you published in
the Agricultur1st orange packing
charts-that is, diagrams for packing
oranges and grapefruit of different
sizes. Can you supply me with these
charts or old copies of the paper con-
tanning same?
We cannot supply back copies de-
sired. These charts were published by
the State Experiment Station several
years ago, but we think the edition was
exhausted. We believe, however, the
experiment station has either printed,
or contemplate printing another edi-
ton. We suggest that you correspond
with Mr.. Rolls, the director, at Gaines
vile.
Early in the summer my St. Angus
tine grass lawn, as we'll as the lawns
Of many Of my neighbors, was attacked
by an insect or a disease OF some kind
Some Of the lawns were almost en-
unsightly. The trouble would start in
little clump Of grass that would get
brown and finally die, and from this
start it would spread in a circle many
feet in diameter. Can you give me the
cause Of the trouble and the remedy?
We do not know a name for the
trouble, but you are not the only one
who has suffered. Last year many OF
the St. Augustine grass lawns on the
East Coast were entirely destroyed,
and at DeLand, where there are many
beautiful lawns of St. Augustine grass,
many Of them were badly injured, and
we understand the trouble has not
stopped yet. Many remedies have been
tried. Some report good results from
heavy application Of tobacco stems or
ground tobacco. Arsenate Of lead is
recommended for the trouble, and we
are told that the disease can be cured
by proper application of this chemic-
al.
