Down on the west coast took a look
at our dasheen patch at the experiment

the greatest things we have ever Rotten
into the south. The people in the state
have organized .Dasheen Club They
had banquet recently with the gov
ernor OF the state, w. ]. Bryan and q lot
OF other notables as guests. They had a
big menu, and nothing but dasheens were
served in different ways The list OF
speeches gives some idea OF what sort OF
revel 1t was. Bryan spoke on Why T
Travelled 1900 Miles to Eat D4sheen.'
There was another speech on an apoch-
Eyphal bill to prohibit dasheen growers
from raising more than 5000 bushels to
the acre. Everybody was enthusiastic
The dasheen Is q root crop of the family
familiar in this region as the elephant
round potato. and tastes like a baked
Irish potato that has had just . slight
injection Of meat extract to give II q
flavor. 1t II q wet-ground crop. and does
excellently In the regions OF the south
where they cannot grow potatoes.
DR.. Fairchiid was talking OF his ex-
periments with the mango disease and
said:
Il had gone out with a microscope and
was working in q grove and had Just
made a discovery In fungus disease that
made me feel pretty good. Just then 1

up. and there was Walter BroOkins In an

1t was the most surprising interruption

was a pretty complex place after ALL and

turned from a visit to Florida, where
ne studied new disease of the mango
Tree and found method of combating
1t. DIR. Falrehild says ii was his first
trip to Florida in more than ten years
and he was enthusiastic over the prog
ress made there in agriculture.
The mango Is becoming an important
factor In fruit farming in Florida II is
one or the youngest of the American
fruit industries. but the Florida farm
ers see great possibilities in it, Until
the war with Spain there was little
known about the mango in this country
Almost every one had heard Of the fruit.
Dut 1t was mixed UP In a hazy way, in
the mind Of the average person, with the
mangrove swamps Of Borneo, and WAS
regarded as an inaccessible tropic fruit
lnlald with yellow fever and malaria
and never likely to be OF any interest
in this country
During the war the American troops
got taste Of mangoes In Cuba and found
that, though they needed 10 be eaten in
a bathtub. they had flavor unlike any
thing else In the vegetable world. The
texture OF genuine Cuban mango is
cocoahut door mat, soaked In molasses
ana brown sugar. But. in spite OF the
TACT that they have to be served with
soap towels and scrubbing brushes on
the side they taste good enough to make
up for this drawback

Many Varieties Of Mango.

some years ago the Department OF
Agriculture began to experiment with
mangoes. 1t found that there were as
many varieties as there are OF a certain
brand Of pickles. and the chief difference
was that some were better than others.
There were those that matured late and
others that matured early, some with big
seeds and some with small, and difYerent
sorts suited to all kinds Of soil and
climate.
Mangoes were secured from India. lava.
the West Indies and South America.
Ihey We're sorted out after they had been
tried In this country. and. while the De-
partment OF Agriculture is not making
any rash promises. 1t believes q variety
Will be developed that will not need to
ne eaten In bathing suit beyond low
tide level.
The. mango has gotten q start in
FLORIDA. There are not more than 200
acres OF the fruit in the whole state.
but when 1t Is considered that you can
get IS or 100 trees on an acre and
they are worth between $40 and SIS a
tree per season. it is rather a profitable
crop. Some Of the big trees that have
plenty OF room to develop have car
ried crop worth $50 or $50.

Attacked by Disease.

OF course. as soon ~ the tree began
to be commercial success, it had to
develop . disease. There was q bud
wilt that attacked the trees and pre-
vented the afflicted ones from bearing
any fruit. study Of this disease was
one OF the things that carried DR.. Fair
child to Florida. He examined q num-
per or the groves and found IL was a
fungus disease and one that could be
controlled by spraying. This puts the
remedy within the grasp OF the indi-
vtdual growers.
DR.. Fairchild is enthusiastic about
the state. "Eyerglades?" said hs. '.Not

AUTUMN NOW THE REAL.
SEASON FOR MOTORING

Summer-the season when the motor
tourist has always been at the height
Of his glOry-has given way in favor
Of autumn, and the exhilarating wealth
er Of the past few days is fast winning
over the motor car owners, hundreds Of
whom are planning trips during the
next few weeks. It is confidently pre-
dicted that the months Of September
and October wiz break all records in
this respect
The great army OF Automobiles who
were discouraged BY the hot, dusty
roads OF midsummer, will find the cool
bracing air and hard-paclzed roads Of
the early fan season most irresistible;
in fact the Touring Club of America,
Broadway and 18th street, New York,
reports that the great number of in
fuiries for routes, automobile blue
books and information as to road con-
ditions is quite unprecedented at this
time of the year.
The present demand for touring in
formation bears out the predictions OF
the Touring clubs officials that hun
dreds Of motorists have postponed
their vacation tours during the sum
mer. so IS to take advantage OF the
brisk. cool autumna1 days, with their
dustless roads. at a time when the no
tells and wayslde inns along the popu-
lar thoroughfares are best prepared 70
