JUSTICE CfNSURfS
YELLOW JOURNALS

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Justice David
Brewer of the United States supreme
court has placed his censure upon
yellow journalism. In the course of a
lecture before the Progress club at
Far Rockaway he spoke on the topic.
"A Good Time Coming
The publication of testimony in the
yellow journals" he declared, par
ticularly in regard to Divorce cases. is
to be deplored. Such publication does
not help the cases and it drags into the
public eye family skeletons that had
better be left in their closets. Publi-
cation of such stuff simply feeds the
morbid interest and exerts ANYTHING
except a healthful influence. In many
cases where such matter is published
people go to the bad who would other
wise resume the strict and narrow
path, and when they go to the bad as
result of such publications they
rarely ever recover their lost standing
and their desire to be proper citizens
we shallso only have good times when
the people of the entire world cease
strife"

SISTERS PAY BIG PRICE
FOR SITE OF OLD HOME
Give $4,000 in Excess of Value
Set by Appraisers

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Stirred by a
sentimental love for the ground on
which stood the old homestead in
which they had been born, three daugh-
ters of the late Patrick Mccarthy
fought successfully to retain posses
sion of this property yesterday in one
of the most exciting bidding contests
ever witnessed in the rooms of the
Chicago real estate board. They finally
bid in the property, which is located
at the northeast corner of Dearborn
and Washington streets, for $500 O00
a price $4,000 in excess of the value
fixed by the court appraisers.
This price breaks all records for
values in the loop district, except for
a few sites which have been sold in
recent years in State street.
The property was placed on the
block in accordance with a decree for
partition sale in suit begun by
James J. Mccarthy. a brother of the
three sisters who bid in the property.

The white fringe fungus cannot be
readily recognized without a lens, and
seems to be also most useful against the
smoky whitefy. The cinnamon fungus
resembles the brown fungus, but has
powdery look and produces abundant
spores. It is less ommon than the
brown fungus. Another fungus, which
cannot we'll be recognized withouta mi
croscope, has been found to kill both the
winged and the young scale-like white
flies. 1t has not yet been used for spray
ing.

The Avocado or Alligator Pear.
By G. P. Taft.

This remarkable fruit comes to us
primarily from Mexico or Central Ameri-
ca. Indeed, it is quite within the limits
OF legitimate speculation to assume
that its original home may have been
the lost continent of Atlantis; that it
has come to us by way of Yucatan or
Guatemala, and that in Atlantis it was
brought to such high state of perfection
that after thousands of years of COM
parative neglect it still retains quail
ties of wonderful interest.
In the opinion of very many people the
Avocado is the best of all fruits. I know
OF none whose votaries are more enthu-
slastic. 1t makes the best of all salads,
as it stands midway in it's composition
between fruits and nuts, embracing many
of the attractive qualities of both. There
seems to be a fascination in it's flavor
which fingers ON the palate, and to those
who know it's taste, the price, like that
OF champagne, is secondary considera-
ton. Hence we find fruits imported from
Mexico, Hawaii and other countries sell
ing at So and more per dozen wholesale,
and the demand constantly growing.
1t is hardly probable that here in this
country we can ever produce fruit quite
equal in size to the largest from the trop-
les, but there are smaller and harder
varieties which are no whit inferior, but
rather better in flavor and richness, which
have been found to do WE'LL These are
from local or Mexican seeds whose an
cestors for many generations have grown
in climate much like our own.
AS there are uncommonly great varia-

ferent types of trees to come to matur-

tion which will bear continuously. This
is, of course, very desirable to the con-
sumer and material to the market grow
er, as there is plenty of demand at all
times.
10 conclude with just a word of
prophecy, or query rather. The next
craze will be about the Avocado?"

doned trees of the orange kind. After a
freeze has taken most of the leaves from
the orange trees it would probably pay
to remove all fallen leaves and all that
are left on the trees, before growth
starts, and burn them, since the whitefy
has been found to survive on damp fallen
leaves.
Spraying with insecticides is useful,
especially for small trees in isolated
groves, and the best time to spray is in
the winter months. Fumigation with
hydrocyanic acid gas in winter is more
ef1icacious than spraying But both these
methods are more or less difficult and
expensive, while applying the fungus dis
eases of the white1ly is easy and cheap.
Seven fungi are now know which kill the
whitefies and feed on their bodies. Three
of these are common and can be easily
seen and recognized; one is rarer; an
other is scarce on the whitefy, though
abundant on scales; and two cannot
easily be recognized without a micro
scope. The first three fungi live only on
the bodies of the young whitefies. When
they have killed the whitefies on the
leaves and consumed their bodies, they
may form millions of invisible spores,
which take the place of Seeds These
spores are washed away, or carried on
insects, and if one of them comes against
whitedy it may grow into it's body and
soon kill it. The best way to apply the
fungi seems to be to stir leaves covered
with them in water, at the rate of two
leaves or more to a quart, and spray the
water, which now contains millions of in
visible spores, on the young scale-like
whitefies in the trees, with galvanized
iron compressed-air sprayer kept for that
special purpose. Some of the spores will
fall on young whitefies, will grow in
and kill them, and the spores produced
by these when ripe, will infect and kill
other whitefies, and so on. The best
time to spray with spores seems to be
from April to September, the earlier the
better.
The red fungus of the whitefy forms
red spots on the under side of leaf,
each spot over the dead body of young
whitefy, from which it has taken it's
food. These red spots are much broader
than the little red outgrowths formed by
the red-headed scale fungus. The red
fungus seems to attack both kinds of
whitef1y, and is a most useful fungus,
as it is easily seen and produces plenty
OF spores. The brown fungus of the
whitefy forms dark-brown spots over
the dead bodies of the young whitefies,
which may be mistaken for the Florida
red scale of the orange. It is most use
full, because after finishing one larva, it
spreads to others, until it may kill all
the whitefies on a leaf. It infects both
kinds of whitefy, and though it seems
rarel y to form spores, yet it can be used,
especially during July and August, by
securing it off the leaves, and appl ying
the mixture of fungus particles and
water as spray. The yellow fungus
forms yellow spots like those of the red
fungus. 1t infects mostly the smoky

THE WHITEFLY
Description of This Pest of the Orange Grower With
Suggestions for Preventing Its Futher Spread
By Prof. John Beling
By Prof. John Belling

The whitefy is still spreading through
the orange groves of Florida. This
winged pest comes out about March,
April, or May, from the greenish-loo
scales on the under side of orange leaves.
The little insects futter about, and soon
lay their eggs, like fine dust, on the under
side of young leaves. In few days the
six-legged wingless young, like small fiat
lice, break out of the eggs, crawl about
on the leaves for a short time, and then
sink their sucking beaks through the
skin, to remain fixed there by the beak
until at last they change into the winged
whitehies. The little scale-like insect can
be barely seen on the under side of the
leaf. It sucks in the sap which should
have gone to make orange leaves and
fruit, and grows longer and broader,
though it remains quite fiat. 1t splits
of it's skin several times, growing in
size after each molt. The excess of sap,
from which no doubt it has taken much
of the foodstuffs, it throws out as tiny
drops of honeydew, which fall on the
leaves below. The sooty mold grows in
this honeydew, and cuts off the light
from the leaves. AS the orange leaves
can only form sugar and starch from the
air in a good light, the sooty mold may
rob the trees in a grove of more food
than the whitefies do, though it has been
calculated that a million young white
flies would bleed an orange tree to the
extent of about fifteen pounds of honey
dew month. In June or July the scales
break open, and the winged whitefies
come slowly out, spreading their
packed-up wings, and fit away to lay
new batch of eggs. These eggs in time
produce the autumn swarms of white
flies which come out from August to Oc
tober, and the young from the eggs laid
by these pass through the winter as
scales on the leaves of oranges and other
citrus trees.
There are two kinds of whitefy on the
orange trees of Florida: one with pure
white wings, and another with a smoky
spot on each fore-wing. There are sew
eral other differences between them. The
smoky whitefy has been found at Bar
tow, Bayview, Clearwater, Geneva, Lar
60, Maitland, Minis, Orlando, Ozona,
Riverview, Sutherland, Titusville and
Winter Park.
In groves where the whitefy has not
yet appeared care should be taken to
admit only defoliated and fumigated
nursery stock, and to exclude or fumi-
gate pickers' implements and vehicles
from whitefy districts.
The food-plants of the whitefy out
side of citrus groves are responsible for
much damage. All chinaberry and UNI
brella trees especially, which are any
w oh =
cut down; for the whitefies leave them
in the autumn and go in search of orange
trees on which to lay their eggs. The
two former trees are the worst enemies
of the orange grower. Hedges of privet,
cape jasmine shrubs, and prickly ash
trees, also breed so many whitefies that
it would pay well to cut them down.
The same is of course true of any aban-
