INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE

For six years the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture has been in
vestigating the problems of decay in
citrus fruits and the causes. It has
followed a large number of shipments
from the time cut from the tree TO a
period of three weeks after arrival at
northern destinations
The meeting held by Profs. H j.
Ramsey and A. w. Mckay at the court
house yesterday had for its object the
demonstration by charts and lecture
the results of the work. Exactly hf-
teen growers were in attendance COM
ing from all parts OF the county in
Guiding Mcintosh, Citra and around
Lake Weir.
What was lacking in numbers was
made good by the deep interest of
those present After summing results
of the various experiments those pres
emit expressed conclusions as follows:
1st Blue mould rot or infection
cannot take place to any apprecfable
extent on fruit which is free from
bruises or abrasions OF the skin. al
though a very slight abrasion Is sur
f1cient for seeded.
End. That blue mould decay is
greatly increased by allowing fruit to
lie in or about the packing house to
rot and furnish blue mould spores or
seed.
3rd. That the greatest cause for
damaging fruit is long stems left in
clipping from trees. And that cuts OF
the skin in clipping and improper
washing are close seconds in preparing
the way for blue mould.
There were many points OF great
value brought out and those present
appreciate the good work the govern
ment has done for the citrus industry.
| This work has been in progress six
years and so many experiments in each
| line of work have taken place that the
results are counted as absolute and
there is nothing now to do but to gel
citrus growers informed and put into
use the knowledge gained.
| Messrs. Ramsey and MacKay are
grateful to growers for hearty coop
Grafton and sustained interest in the
work

MR. BARCO PRESENTS
HIS CLAIMS TO THE VOTERS

To the Democratic Voters of Marion
County: / candidate for the
office of supervisor of registration as
will be seen from my announcement in
the papers. Business engagements
vass of the county, besides the salary
of the office will not justify me in do
ing so. Consequently 1 take this
method of addressing you. I held this
office from 1892 till 1902, and then de-
clined to offer for it again Since that
time l have lived as private citizen,
discharging the duties of such to the
best of my ability. During the time
held the office there were three po-
Iitical parties striving for ascendancy
in this county, yet, every reputable
citizen was accorded the privilege of
examining the books as to the status
of his name, and the humblest negro
got the information for which he
sought. I discharged the duties of the
office faithfully. and impartially. with
out fear or favor. and in the interest
Of no party or clique. With this record
I come before you now and ask your
support in the primary of April 30th
and promising, if elected, to carry to
the office the same efficiency and
management as in the past.
Thanking you in advance for a fav-
orable consideration of my candidacy
and trusting I will not be disappoint-
ed, I am. Very respectfully,
