combining these three counts, and
taking the unspraycd trees as the
standard, we have for the BordcauX
an average of ~ times as MANI
scale-insccts on the leaves. and 40
times as many on the fruits, as on the
unsprayed trees. For limc-sllphur,
we have about the same number on
the leaves, and One-half as many on
he fruits. as on the unspraycd trees.
For fothers Formula ", We have
che twcnty-fifth as many on tn,
leaves, and One-tenth as many on the
fruit, as on the unsprayed trees.
Bordeaux Mixture and Scale.lnsects.
While it has been recognized that
rapid increase of scale-insects fol-
lowed Bordeaux treatment, accurate
numerical data have hitherto been
lacking. The evident cause for this
increase of scales is the killing by the
bordeaux of the scale fungi (red,
white and black which hold the
scale-insects in check. The large
totals from the Bordeaux-sprayed
trees, in comparison with the UNI
sprayed trees, indicate what We may
expect to happen when the fungi are
not present. When it is absolutely
rercssary to use Bordeaux mixture on
Grange trees, one must always be
prepared to follow it up with a good
ihScrtlridc. Otherwise the harm done
ny the increased number of scale in
scots will often more than counter
t2.lncc the good dove by the Bor-
d"auN in killing injurious fungi.

4 FLORIDA STATE FLOWER.

The ever interesting subject, a Ma
tional f'hNcr, again inlert SIS the
country. and while tnr +, dclalion Oh
WOmcn' ) clubs is WORKING toward the
final passage Of an act OF congress
that will give America IA Hover en-
blcm, why cannot Florida club women
unite in one great effort and secure
Tor Florida a State flower?
The club women of the national
federation are urging u petition that
will make the white mountain laurel
the national Hover AS yer, very lew
legislatures have acted on the State
flower and Florida has long been dis
Cussing the question.
Can Florida with her background
OF romance, her history SO inter-
blended with that of the Indian and
particularly the Seminole; can Flor
ida adopt a more fitting emblem than
that of the beautiful wild rose of the
South known as the Cherokee rose?
To Floridians the fragrant Cherokee
lose has two strong points in its
favor for its adoption as flower en-
blcm. 1t makes possible the perfcc-
tiOn OF the peerless Marcchal Neil,
which grows in the Southland in riot
Gus luxury, if buddcd to the sturdy
Cherokee stock, and like the rugged
Florida pioneer who has blazcd the
way for the luxury and comfort o
the present Flcridian, the native wild
rose has made perfect for the TWEEN
'icth century rosaran. the matchless
Marechal Neil. But stronger ar
gument why the Cherokee should be
the flower most worthy Of honor is
its beautiful Indian legend. With
the almost universal interest and
sympathy in the Seminoles of Florida,
the legend of the Cherokee rose will
give Il strong impetus toward it's adj
option by the legislature as a State
Hover. The present Floridian may
thus pay tribute to the fast vanish
ing race, and preserve, too, for flu
ture generations, native mythology
In the poetic legend of the Indian
lovers.
According to :he legend. the wild
rose first grew in the Carol'nas. the
home of the Eastern Cherokee In
dians. Years ago, Seminole war
rior was attracted to the tribe by the
beauty OF Cherokee maiden. whom
he won. after many difficulties, for
lis bride. AS she left her childhood
home for the fragrant orange hover
OF the Seminole, she plucked trail
ing stem of the wild rose. the flower
she had always known and loved. and.
hiding it in her bosom, she carried il
TO the land o. the Seminoles. which
We Know as Florida. She planted il
beside the oran"e tree at the door of
her husbands lodee.
Today the beautiful white rose is ,
railing over the decaying walls and $
alllng timhcrs IF the ancient lodge |

grows its fra sante is waited on the g
'reeze as irce"s, to the memory of $

SKULL VALLEY IS IN

tfrom Saturdsv's Daily.)

w. L. Roberts of Skull valley, while in the city yesterday stated that big crops and steady demand for the produce of that country is the order of the day. The heavy rains came at an opportune time, or as he states it. just as the de- mand was urgent from Copper Basin to supply hay and grain and other articles at home market, the big force at the Commercial mines drawing on the farmer to the limit. Since Copper Basin has assumed such an importance as mining center the valley also is attracting attention as one of the best farming centers in the county. Talk of a new town and branch railroad to the Basin is being heard on all sides.

Generally speaking. the top half of the supply advanced IS to '2S cents. and the lower half de- -clined about as much.

 The run of cattle today is barely 1000 head. which is 2.0OO less than the final count last Monday. Good rains in Kansas and Oklahoma last week kept some cattle at home to- day, and also started a delegation Of feeder buyers markctwards. That favorable combination will influence ahc market this week. which means another good week for sellers. The market today follows the lines laid Q out last week. good cattle are steady and easily sold. medium and Q common ones weak. Pasture cattle from Kansas formed big share of the run. and the good ones sold at ,the seasons top figures.

Only 100 cars of quarantine cattle came in. the steers selling at $ to $50, steady prices. A ship ment of Utah cattle here today sold at $S,i0 for the cows and $6 'to $8 for the steers. prices very interesting to Mountain cattlemen.
