CHINABERRY AND UMBRELLA TREES
The Let-Alone Policy Regarding This Curse Has Cost
Florida Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars
Prof P. H. Rofs Director Florida Experiment Station

in Florida, less than thirty species, both
food-plants of the whitefy. It would
be just as sensible to accuse a barbed
wire fence or the globe of an incan-
descent light of breeding whitehy as to
accuse every bush on which a winged
whitehy happens to rest. Frequently
these little pests come to rest on the
globes of incandescent lights in such
numbers that they materially reduce the
light that is given off, yet no one would
accuse the incandescent light of being
a breeder Of whiteAy. The frequent
statement that Our hammOcks and bay
heads are full Of whitefy is founded on
hearsay and not on direct observations
One Of Our most competent entomolo-
gists at one time offered five dollars re-
ward to be shown a gallberry bush in
tested with the citrus whiteAy, but no
one was able to find the citrus whitehy
breeding on a gallberry bush. This bush
is very frequently accused of being a
breeder of the whitefy, but the accu-
sation is not founded on fact.
RAILROADS SET A GOOD EXAMPLE.
1t is hoped that all of the railroads
of the State will follow the splendid
lead taken by the A. c. L. and the S.
A. L. and cause to be destroyed all the
chinaberry and umbrella trees on their
right-of-way and their premises. These
particular umbrella and chinaberry trees
are a special menace, from the fact that
they are along the lines of transporta-
ton; and as they have already proven
to be great disseminators of the white
fly, no amount Of sentiment should per-
NIT them to remain on railway prop
erty. 1t would be just as sensible to
tolerate open aquaria, fountains, and
other mosquito- places, in cities
infested with yellow fever.
To those having a right to speak, as
having knowledge in connection with the
whitefy and its distribution in the State,
it seems like piece of foo1hardiness to
plant, or allow to continue to grow,
either the chinaberry or the umbrella
tree in any part of the State It has
already cost Florida hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. and if people persist
in the '1et-alone" policy, it will continue
to rob many a citrus grower of the
hard-earned fruits of honest toll. Why
not throw Our se1fshness to the winds
for a little while, and be neighbor1y,
and help Our friends to control this
serious and menacing pest?
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-01-01

There is no other species of tree or
plant in Florida which is responsible for
the propagation Of so many billions of
whitehy as the Chinaberry. In the spring
of the year the whitehy are drawn in
stinctively towards these trees and null
tiply there with extraordinary rapidity.
In fact, a medium sized umbrella tree
will be likely to hold all the way from
ten millions to twenty millions Of white
fly by the end of August, provided it
stands in an infested district In the
fall, the insects instinctively migrate
away from the umbrella tree and mil
lions Of flying insects are thus turned
loose, to infest every nook and corner
within a wide radius from the umbrella
tree.
WHITEFIY MENACING THE COMFORT OF
HOME FOLKS.
Whether we should cut down Our
umbrella trees or let them stand is pure
ly a question that must be weighed be-
tween sentiment and dolalrs. Dollars
say emphatically that the umbrella tree
is a menace. This has been proven too
many times to need to be reiterated,
Tens of thousands of dollars have been
spent by the State and Federal Govern
ments to gather specific information on
the whitehy question; and, without ex-
ception, those who have given the mat
ter serious consideration have pro-
nounced the chinaberry and umbrella
tree an unnlitigated nuisance in white
fly sections. The smaller and beautiful
cities along the Seaboard Railroad from
Jacksonville to Pensacola have been tor
a number of years scourged with this
pest. During July and August it is fire.
quently impossible for women and chill
dren to enjoy the cool afternoons and
evenings, SO many billions of whiteAy
are present in the atmosphere. Ninety
per cent Of these whitefy, and in many
cases, nearly a hundred per cent, are
bred in the chinaberry and umbrella
trees.
CHINABERRY AND UMBRELLA TREES COST
US HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS.
Already the chinaberry and umbrella
trees have been the indirect cause of
the loss of hundreds of thousands Of
dollars to citrus growers in
Florida. Repeatedly the scientists
in Florida. Repeatedly the scientists
have traced the source of distribution
to some worthless and neglected china
berry or umbrella tree. 1t therefore
behooves us to join hands with the cit
rus grower and do all we can to sup
press or exterminate the umbrella and
chinaberry trees. The citrus growing
industry, whose property is now worth
over hundred million dollars to Our
State, can we'll receive Our cooperation
and sympathy. Every citizen of the
State should do all he can to improve
the citrus conditions, as it means the
bringing into the State of from five
to ten million dollars of good cash every
year.
It should be remembered that out of the
thousands of species of plants that grow

BAT CHANGES
HIS PLANS
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

(By United Press Leased Wire.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "a
Battling Nelson was agreeably
surprised today when his mana
ger, Jack Robinson, received tele-
grams from the East advising him
that the Danes theatrical dates,
despite his defeat, had not been
cancelled. They packed up at
once and left for Chicago. Nell
son will not have to appear before
next Monday night, by which time
he figures that his "mush" will
have readjusted itself into some
thing akin to the semblance of a
human face.
1t was Nelson's original inten-
ton, assuming that his defeat h II
cost him his stage engagements,
to go to his New Mexico ranch,
build up and then seek a few
fights in the East in order to as
certain whether he has really
gone back. This he cannot bring
himself to believe, although he
admits now that he was not right
when he fought Wolgast. If he
finds that he can get back to his
old form he will ask Wolgast Cor
a return match.
