The White FIy.

The greatest menace to the citrus
fruit industry in this section Is the
white fly.
Growers OF oranges in this county
have advised the Leader that the
orange trees are now free of the white
fly. since the freeze of a few weeks
ago, and the people now have an OPP
portunity to get rid of the pest for
good and all.
The only remaining hiding place for
the fly, where 1t can escape the rigors
of the cold weather, is on the cape
jessamine bushes.
Practically all of the cape jessa-
mines in the private flower gardens
have been cut down, but tnere are
great many of these bushes left stand
ing in the cemetery.
If the cape jessamine bushes are cut
off near the ground and the bushes
burned, the white fly will be destroyed,
or If the bushes are stripped OF their
leaves and these burned, the white fly
will be gotten rid of for a season, but
| II the cape jassamines are left stand
/ ing as they are they will prove reg
ular breeding places for the white fly
and the orange trees can not be saved
Now, II those who have cape Jessa-
mines growing in the cemetery desire
to be of assistance to the orange In
dustry here, they can do so by au'
thorizing the sexton at the cemetery
to cut down the cape jessamine bushes
close to the ground and burn them.
If this Is done the citrus fruit grow
ing industry here will be given great
impetus and the trees will be saved
from the ravages of this dread pest,
the white fly.
Won't you help in this way
Orange Leader.

Fifteen thousand nine hundred
pounds, or seven and one-half tons, OF
fish was shipped last week from
Brownsville to Northern markets. The
fish and oyster industry is assuming
increasing Importance in Texas, and
with the modern methods of packing
and shipping, the products of this in
dustry find their way to distant mar
kets in good condition and command
the highest prices. The output of fish
and oysters in Texas during 1910 was
3,430,151 pounds, which was an in
crease of several thousand pounds
over preceding years.
The farmers who are now in Texas
can not increase the size of their
farms and bring under cultivation our
idle lands. We must get farmers from
the outside. The average Texas farm
contains 1851 acres and the average
farm in the United tSates 146 acres.

has a larger river and ocean mileage
than any other state. There is more
money being spent in the maintenance
and improvement of public highways
than any state in the Union. Twenty
five million dollars will probably be
expended on roads in 1911.
Texas has forty counties that have
a larger uncultivated area than the

SELLING LIQUOR ON SUNDAY
is NOT VAGRANCY
Erroneous Charge Caused Acqutta of
San Antonio SaIoonkeeper Who
Had Violated Sunday Law.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle.

San Antonio, Texas, March 3.-W.
L. Neal is in the saloon business in
this city and it was alleged that he
had fractured the law by selling liquor
on Sunday. The charge of vagrancy
was posted against Neal, ana when
this was done the question was raised.
Can a man with more than $4,000 in
bank and conducting business IL
censed under the law be legally
charged with vagrancy?" The trial re-
suited in finding for the defendant.
This is the first case on record
where alleged illicit liquor selling has
been classed as vagrancy by those
preferring the charge.

suggested by Alderman Burger. The
plan offered so many ADVANTAGES that
