SHADE TREES FOR ROADS
Australian Pines To Be Planted
Throughout Dade County

The county commissioners of Dade,
after spending day in the discus
sion of the advisability of planting
shade trees along the main high
way throughout the county, from
Homestead to the northern end of
the county, fully decided this impor-
tant matter.
The board passed the resolution to
plant the shade trees, and instructed
the clerk to advertise for bids for
planting of Australian pines along the
main road from one end of the county
to the other, the trees to be planted
thirty feet apart on each side of the
road, and fourteen feet from the cen
ter of the road, making an avenue
twenty-eight feet wide and the entire
length of the county.
The object, as stated by the COM
missioners, is not merely to furnish
shade for travellers or to beautify the
highway, but they have found that
the straw falling on the road and
the shade on the surface, will save at
least thirty per cent of the wear on
the surface of the road
The commissioners point to the
General Lawrence roadway as an IL
Illustration of the advantage to be
gained by having these trees near
the highway, and state that that high
way is now in excellent condition
with practically no expense for re-
pairs, while the roads of the county
must be constantly repaired.

THE DAMAGE TO FLORIDA CROPS

1t is estimated that the June rains
in Florida have damaged the fruit
and vegetable crops to the extent OF
a half million dollars, and also the
damage to the melon, cantaloupe and
field crops in south Georgia is very
heavy.
The total railfall in this section
from May 27 to June Is was 1916
inches, which was equalled or exceed
ed in nearly every section OF the
state. The rainfall during June has
broken all records in Florida accord
ing to the weather bureau in this city.
Catalogues, melons and tomatoes
in west Florida have been particular
" hard hit. The cantaloupe crop was
not large and quality was not OF the
best. The rains have put on the fin
ishing touches, and the crop is al
most entirely ruined. Watermelons
have suffered severely. Shipments
received in Jacksonville this week ar
rived in poor condition as the wet
weather has made them soft and by
the time they arrived even on this
market they were bad. Several cars
were condemned.
At Sanford the damage has been
heavy to watermelons, also potatoes
that had not been dug. All vegetables
were severely injured throughout the
entire section In Lake county, one
of the best melon producing districts
in the state, rains have caused blight
and the crop will be short % per
cent. Growers at Leesburg, the pr1n-
cipal shipping point in this county,
say that all crops suffered heavily
Excessive rains and the hot sun in
the Gainesville section have caused
loss of fully so per cent. to the mel
on, cantaloupe and tomato crops
Much damage was done to melons in
the Wauchula section, but as this is
one of the first sections to ship, quite
percentage of the crop had moved.
In many other places in south Flor
ida the crop damage has been heavy
The Atlantic Coast Line and the
Seaboard Air Line railroads have had
several washouts. The Charlotte
Harbor division between Punta Cor
da and Fort Myers had several bad
washouts and it was impossible to
get fruit or vegetables through on
schedule for some days.
Plant City truckers have lost heav-
lily on their remaining crops of mel
ons and tomatoes, but are congratu-
lating themselves that the deluge
came after almost their entire crop
had been marketed There has been
no serious damage in the East Coast
pineapple belt, and shipments are
moving freely.
At st. Petersburg and Pinellas Pc
ninsula many fields were under water
and railroad traffic was severely af-
fected.
At Brooksville, fernando county,
the damage to the tomato and other
crops was heavy. The new cannery
has started and will be kept working
overtime, as much of the fruit will
be too soft to ship, but will be all
right for canning. Other sections OF
the state which report much damage
to the crops, fully so per cent. or
more, are as follows: Windsor,
Bloomsdale, Venice, Frost Proof,
Montbrook, Inverness, Trilby, Apop-
ka, Fort Myers, Lakeland, Center
Hill. Ocala and the Manatee section.
