Our Christmas Issue.

This, our Christmas issue,
spcaks for itself. 1t is not what
we conceived and hoped to
achieve, but there were difficult
ties to encounter that we could
not anticipate and it was only
bv strenuous effort that we got the
issue out at all; that is, any
thing like on schedule time.
After getting all the type set we
had to put the paper on the
press five times, which means
that approximately ten thousand
papers were handled before the
printing was complctcd-thlS
gives some idea of the mcchani-
cal work involved. Then the
Autographed covers were delayed
in transit, 50 that we could not
gc; the first side on the press
until Tuesday afternoon, just one
day later than we expected.
In the face Of conditions, we
have done our hest and it
might have been decidedly worse.
We wish to thank most hearth
" and sincerely the business men
who have made this issue posi-
ble by their liberal patronage of
nlu advertising colums and who
have stood by us so Loyalty dur
ing the whole year. May they,
and each and every one of our
valued subscribers as well, enjoy
in fullest measure all the pleas
ureS of the Christmas-tide and en-
ter upon Il new year of happiness
and prosperity. May they all
real and enjoy every forthcom-
ing issue of The Record until the
horologe of time brings to us
again the gladstone Christmas
season.

that you can sit in the shade and
take your ease while the returns from

as this, but people who send their
money so far away from home for
something they have never seen
assume a great risk and in many cases
are disappointed for the candid opin-

are many such in business) might
not at all agree with the views Of the

tree Evidence further shows that
the same oranges remaining on the

Under the Food and Drugs Act Of
June 80, 1906, an article of food is
adultrated "if mixed, colored, pow
dered, coated, or stained in a manner
whereby damage or inferiority is con

that oranges treated as mentioned
above are cOlored in manner where
by inferiority is concealed and are,
therefore, adulterated.
"The Board recognizes the fact that
certain varieties of oranges attain
maturity as to size, sweetness, and

green to yellow, and this decision is
not intended to interfere with the

TOO STRONG TO DECEIVE

A good brother had been brought
before the church on the charge Of
lying, but those who sat in judgment,
after hearing the charges decided
that lie was intended to deceive, but
the statement made by the brother
was entirely too extravagant to be
believed by people of intelligence,
hence it was not lie, We sometimes
hear victims of wildcat schemes de-

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Within recent years new method
of agricultural education has been de
Vlsed in the form Of boys and girls
clubs. Such clubs have various OBJ
jects, but usually they provide for
prize contests among the members.
Corn growing contests are probably
the most common among the boys,
although many other features have
been tried, while the girls compete
in bread making or sewing, or even
test their skill against that of the
boys in gardening or poultry raising.
In many cases these clubs are organ
lied as a part of the school work,
under the auspices Of the county
superintendent, or the teachers in the
rural schools arrange contests among
their own pupils, but often in F1ori
da the lead is taken by enterprising
public-spirited men in the different
counties. All Of these efforts have
the hearty cooperation Of the state
agricultural authorities, and particu
larly Of the efficient Experiment Sta
ti0n force under the direction Of Prof.
Rolfs
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture also gives assistance through
the office Of Experiment Stations, by
furnishing advice and suggestions.
Through the farmers bulletins issued
by the Department the most practical
instruction in the growing Of corn
and other crops may be had by the
boys, while the girls NAV obtain bull
1etins on bread making or gardening.
A farmers bulletin on Boys and
Girls Agricultural Clubs tells how to
organize the clubs, how to conduct
the contests and what publications
will be useful to the boys and girls.
This bulletin may be obtained free
upon application to your member of
Congress or to the Secretary of Ag
riculture, Washington, D. c.
Such clubs are now actively at
work in many of the counties of Flor
ida, and quite large club has been
recently organized in this city under
the direction of Prof. Baldwin, of the
Y. M. c. A., and the boys are enter
ing into the work with much enthusi
aSm.

and Florida as is done in Sicily, and
the bureau sent an agent to Sicily
to study their whole process of max

ducts from lines, lemons and oranges.
After his return he went to California
to work out a scheme by which all
of the fruit that falls and is unfit for
shipping may be turned into profit
for the farmer by the manufacture
of by-prOducts.

KEEP MILK UTENSILS CLEAN.

All milk utensils should be washed

should be rinsed with cold water first,
then thoroughly washed with a hot

While this is not good time to ac-

The Department of Agriculture has
just received an importation of lady
bug beetles from India with which it
is hoped that the white fly pest may
be controlled in the orange groves Of
Florida. In its home on the upper
valley Of the Ganges River the beetle
was found eating the white fly. Time
will have to be allowed for the beetle
to increase before its effectiveness can
be determined.
