DEATH TO WHITE FLY.
Geo. Mears Discovered Simple Rene
dy Which Kills Them.

Almost Every Orange Grower in This
Community Has Tried the Gold
Dust Spray and Found It Effective,
Killing All Insect Life and Giving
Growth to the Trees.
The St. Petersburg Independent
prints an article making the claim that
a sure cure had been found for the
white fly. We hope that it will prove
to be all that is claimed for it. AS at
present offered for sale gold dust
would be a rather expensive remedy
But if it proves on more extended ex-
pertinent to do the work satisfactorily,
it is probable that the makers will put
it UP in bulk for sale at reasonable
price. The Independent says:
Goodbye to the White Fly. It
has met it's Waterloo in a common
household commodity. Not even does
the Fairbanks soap people know that
its washing powder is the salvation Of
the orange crop where the white fly or
other insects have invaded the groves.
Geo. Mears, the orange grower of
St. Petersburg, has been experiment.
ing along all lines to rid the peninsu-
la of the white fly. Today he is ready
to back it against anything that has
been offered as yet, and scores Of his
friends will attest that the Gold Dust
has everything else faded to a frazzle
The solution is one pound of Gold
Dust to ten gallons of water.
1t has killed the white fly, the red
spider, scale, in fact every parasite,
and even the orange dog succumbs to
the solution.
The solution has sufficient phosphate
to make it a fertilizer.
It kills the bug and gives new and
stronger growth to the tree.
Besides all this, the solution is not
poisonous-on the contrary it is known
as a sanitary household commodity.
This is not an advertisement for
Gold Dust. The publication of this
story will be surprise to the people
who make the washing powder. It
is given to the orange growers as a
remedy to rid them of the greatest
curse they ever met up with-the
white fly. Not alone is Florida in it's
throes-in California they are cutting
down whole orchards to rid the state
Of the pest.
The Potter grove was sprayed a
couple of weeks ago with the so1u-
ton and Mr.. Potter said it killed the
white fly by the million, destroying
them as the solution hit them land
when they struck the leaves they fell
to the ground. The b1ackened leaves
blackened by the black fly eggs-shed
the larvae and today every leaf is as
green as that of rubber plant.
We could give the names of many
other prominent growers who met
with Just as good results.
Let the growers throughout the
state try it. 1t is cheap and simple,
and the Independent would consider
it favor if they would report the re-
suits of the test. It will do Geo.
MearS a whole lot of good to know
he has served his brother growers.

WHY Don't We?


Times asks this question, but does
not attempt to answer it. He goes
on to show why it is asked. We pass
it on to Our readers, can any OF you
give a reasonable answer to the
question?
It is no doubt an appropriate time
to remark that live hogs are selling
around six dollars hundred in the
Western markets. Florida can pro-
duce fine hogs at a dollar and half
a hundred pounds, but there is no hog
market in Florida This leads up to
the brief discussion of matter of
general interest A few men in Flor
ida have demonstrated that hogs can
be produced here more cheaply and
with less incidental trouble and loss
than anywhere in the country.
That fact has been attested and in
troduced to the attention of people
living in the hog belt where their
land is worth fifty to one hundred
dollars per acre. They are invited
to come down here, buy some Of Our
cheap land and go into the business.
After a little thought they inquire
how many people in Florida are rails
ing these cheap hogs and where are
they selling them The Florida boos-
ter is regretfu11y compelled to &C
knowledge that there are so few of
them that they have not yet produced
enough to establish a market or
uniform price.
Thereupon the professional and
successful hog raiser says that he
has no doubt of the truth of the in
formation so courteous1y extended
him, but he would like some further
explanation why the shrewd and in
te11igent men who live in Florida,
who are familiar with the facts and
who know that these phenomenal
profits can be made are not making
them. And that about winds up the
discussion.
Right in this circumstance lies the
basis of the comparatively small i'm
migration to the farm lands of Flori-
d. In citrus fruits, garden farming
and other branches of agricultural in
dustry there are many people doing
the things and making the money Gas
advertised" But in cattle and hogs
it is different story Somehow our
people dIc HOT accepting IHe1I
chances with intelligence and success.
Our dairymen are buying their COWS
from Georgia, Alabama and Tennes-
see, their feed from Illinois, and still
make money by making the balance
of us pay double prices for milk and
butter. Most of the people of the
larger towns and cities drink milk
canned up North and shipped in. Is
it any wonder men up that way don't
believe the figures that are laid be-
fore them showing the advantages
and resources and capabilities of Our
state, when every action of Our own
people shows that they do not them
selves believe them?

The pineapple growers of ST. Lucie
county certainly have the courage of
their convictions. The shortage of the
recently harvested crop, occasioned by
an unprecedented dry spell, might we'll
have discouraged the growers and Civ
en- them sufficient excuse to '1et we'll
enough alone" and refrain from ex-
tending their acreage. On the con-
trary they are cleaning new land and
setting out pineapple slips by the mil
lion. From Fort Pierce south to
Jensen, the growers are pushing the
work. The Viking district is VERT
able bee hive of preparation and plant
ing. In fact all St. Lucie county is
pushing the pineapple business. The
growers made money the past season,
and with a snug bit of "ve1vet" in
sight in the shape of winter crop,
they are determined to increase their
acreage and make two pineapp1es
grow where one grew before st.

bear good annual crops, but these are
the exceptions and not the rule. There
is no doubt but some years there are
exceptional yields and sometimes eX-
ceptional prices. I have had these my
self But my estimate of an average
WELD of 500 an acre over all expenses
will be found in my judgment to be
very fair estimate If any one thinks
differently, and honestly So I have no
quarrel with him. 1t is so easy TO take
an exceptional year or an exceptional
price and base our estimate on THIS
and be mistaken. I know man VINO
gave out an estimate on the prohts on
an acre of alberta peaches. He thlnks
that an acre of such peaches Will, the
fifth year after being set IN the or
chard, yield a gross income OF over
$500 per acre and net income or over
$500. He does not claim to nave hao
this experience, but this is his estimate
that he no doubt honestly makes. But
while he may realize this amount on
some exceptional occasions, If he ex-
poets this to be an average income
every year after his acre of peaches
has been out five years, my honest con-
viction is he will find himself standing
out alone sometime holding an empty
sack An Irishman was once standing
on one side of a fence just bending and
twisting with laughter. On the other
side was a large bull with his head
near to the ground while he was paw
ing the dirt up over his back. man
coming along asked Pat what he was
laughing at. The Irishman said he
was just thinking how funny it would
be to get over the fence and grab that
bull by the horns and jam his nose into
the dirt and let him sniff it up his nos
trils. The man urged Pat to try it,
so, nothing daunted, he numbered over
the fence and essayed to do the stunt.
But Mr.. Taurus gave one flirt of his
head and landed Mr.. Irishman back
on the side of the fence whence he came.
Pat picked himself up and as he limped
away he was heard to say: TT was a
dom foine thing I had my laugh before
1 got over the fence" So sometimes
we will enjoy the matter more if we
count our profits before we have our
experience!

l once said in these columns that the
seedless apple propagators had plenty
of perseverance which a dear old lady
said was the only good thing she could
say about the devil. They have given
a new demonstration of this character
istic. The Rural New Yorker allowed
these men not long since to make
statement in which they admitted that
some of the claims put forth for this
seedless apple were justly open to criti-
cism. This was done in the interest
of fairness. I commented on this with
drawal of the preposterous claims. But
alas for human weakness! No sooner
had this statement been made than they
send out letter in which appears this
statement: I'VE imagine you have
formed your opinion from some state
ments which have been made in the pa
pers for the past two years, all of which
criticisms have been retracted the last
being the Rural New Yorker"

People often want to know when is
the best time to do top grating. I'm
the spring. But it must not be in
ferred that it cannot be done late in
the spring. The main thing to be re-
membered is to keep your scions dor
mant. Last spring my son and 1 top
worked a tree on the first day of May
and every graft grew and made large
growth, too. 1 once saw a tree top
grated on the oath day of May and
the new top grew four feet during the
summer. We do most of our grating
in March and April but if we were
delayed by press of work, and could
keep our scions dormant we would dc
the work as late as the first of, June
rather than wait till the next spring.

Just think of the gall in these men;
when they are allowed to retract and
admit that claims have been made for
this apple that were justly open to
criticism, they hasten to announce that
the Rural New-Yorker had retracted
'all criticisms" The editor, after pub
fishing their letter, sent to him by
friend in wisconsin, has this to say:
1T is not necessary to tell our readers
that this is simply n lie. No more
contemplate thing could be done by
so-called business men than to try to
twist a charitable effort to do justice
to a humbug into a cowardly endorse
ment Perhaps nature can take most
of the seeds out of an apple, but the
seed of Ananias is put into some men
to stay" There is no more sure sign
that any enterprise is a fraud than
that the methods of advancing it are
fraudulent.

The platform of the Peoples ticket of Latah
County in this election favored an honest vote, an
honest count and an honest expression. They in
sisted in their resolutions that commercially socially
geographically and by their strongest wish politically
they allied to the Territory of Washington.
They rendered their grateful thanks of appreciation
to Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and to Delegate
VOORHEES,, of Washington, for their efforts to unite
North Idaho to Washington. They expressed in
their resolutions their lack of confidence in any
delegate named from South Idaho, and arragned
both the Republican and Democratic parties of Latah
County for placing in the field for county officers on
their respective tickets, whom they could not
support They insisted honest county gov
