The Exchange Pack

UnQueSClOnaDly the rlOTlua Viz
rus Exchange leads all its compel.
itors in the packing of citrus
fruits. Almost from its beginning
one of its chief objects has been to
build up for Florida orange rep
utation in the country at least
equal to that held by the california
orange, and to this end the mana
gers of the various Associations
have been instructed in the hand
ling of The fruit in the field, as
we'll as in the packing house, and
even in the car.
Splendid packing houses, equip
ped with the latest and best ma
chinery for unloading, washing,
drying, sizing and general hand
ling of oranges in the most approx
ed way have been erected by many
of the Associations Of the Ex-
change. Notable among these are
the big houses ut Winter Park,
Tampa, Florence Villa, Fort Ny
ers, Triiby, SummerfeId and 9th
ers. all Exchange houses.
Then additions and extensive al-
terations and repairs have been
made in many other houses, rem
dering them, if not altogether up
to-date, at least very much better
than they were before; and, gen.
orally speaking, much better than
the houses of competitors.
Among those in our vicinity we
may mention the packing houses
at Arcadia, Wauchula, Fort Og-
den, Barlow and Lakeland.
Not yet satisfied with these inn
proyements, the Exchange has a
corps of expert men to instruct in
the packing of fruit, where such
instructions are needed, and The
advance made in the Exchange
pack during the four years of it's
existence has been both marked
and effective. Perhaps the auc-
tion sales are as good test of the
value Of packs as any we know of,
and in these the Exchange almost
invariably leads in the prices OBJ
tanned. In the market letter from
st. Louis, dated December 2Sth,
we find the following statement:
The trade is neglecting California
Navels and paying almost exclu-
sive attention to Florida Fruit.
The Exchanging fruit continues
to have the preference on account
of the superior pack and grading
and the comaratively better quality
and selection of the Fruit offered.
And so come in other reports. This

not accidental, but are the result
of campaigns of education. both in
field and house. This education,

result of corporation, and this
can best be had in the Exchange.
This is II peculiar year, in that
it is both wet and warm. These
are not good conditions for the
carrying of oranges to the mar
kets. Hence. there has been
some "cussing" the Exchange gen.

BIG WASTE In EGGS.

The annual production of hens eggs
in the United States is estimated to
be worth S40O, 900, 600, and of that
total two eggs in every dozen, worth
over $66, 600, 900 in all, are thrown
away; and this waste is due to the
careless way in which the farmer car
ries on the poultry industry part of
his business. In the state of Min

duce this great loss of poultry yard
products. The agricultural depart
ment of the state university has taken
hold of the matter and one of it's ex-
tension staff is making speciality of
inducing the egg raisers to get their
products to market in the best pos
sible condition. He talks of the

PLAN FOR BETTER ROADS.

Washington, June 8th.-Hon. Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., Chairman of the
j oint Committee on Federal Aid in
the Construction of Post Roads, today
gave the following interview:
"With city population increasing
three times as fast as rural popula-
tion and production of food stuffs
not near keeping pace with increase
in population, there is surely need to
make farm life more attractive. The
problem is one of national Importance
for congestion of population in cities
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-15

is natural evil. Upon country life
we depend chiefly for the strength
and vigor of body, mind and moral
character that make nation great.
"To halt the drift of men and
women toward the city, we must make
farm life more pleasant and farm
operations more profitable. No public
undertaking will aid more in this
direction than improvement of high
ways, for good roads destroys the
isolation of country life, improves
market opportunities and decreases
the cost of hauling farm produce to
town.
"To meet the situation, I have sug-
gested plan for Federal aid to good
roads, the purpose of which is to
unite the nation and the sevearl states
in an expenditure of three billions Of
dollars in fifty years for road con-
struction and maintenance. IT adopt
ed, this plan will produce these re-
suits:
"First, add one billion dollars an
nually to farmers by partial substitu-
ton of motor power for horse and
mule power, as today it costs two
billion dollars annually to feed the
%, 600, 600 horses and mules on Amer
lean farms. Even with continuation
OF animal power it would reduce our
present mud tax one hundred million
annually.
"Third, furnish occupation for 400,
600 people in maintaining the high
ways, except during the harvest season
when they would be free to work on
farms during the busy season. A
road we'll maintained until that time
needs no care during the harvest
period"

iect of good roads can secure a copy

Again, The Tent Caterpillar

In our last issue we published an
article on fighting the tent caterpillar
pest, since that time we saw splen-
did article from Howard V. Slausson,
published in the Rainier Valley
Record, which gives SO much good
advice that we publish it below. Mr..
Slausson says:
"Last year, SO I was informed
by the Horticultural Inspector,
that in Cherry Valley and other
portions of King county, these cater
pillars we're so numerous that they
denuded the trees to the last leaf.
They were so offensive that men
could not be induced to fight them,
and they invaded the homes of the
people until the houses became almost
uninhabitable. Unless some drastic
measures are used by this city for its
protection, if they are allowed to
increase from year to year as they
have in the past, it can only be a
question of time when we will suffer
to the same extent.
"However, 1 do not believe any of
the methods suggested in the article
in the P. l. under the date of April
10th will prove effective. They breed
by wholesale and they must be des-
troyed by wholesale. Manipulating
and burning may be done in a small
way and may serve to protect isolated
trees or yards, but those same trees
or yards will be despoiled when the
caterpillars migrate from neighbor-
ing vacant lots and the trees along
the roadway, as they do just prior to
nesting.
''The write has had extensive and
expensive experience in combating
this pest, and after years of it has
come to the conclusion that the only
effective method is by spraying with
arsinite of lead. Fortunately, this
method is effective, easily done and
inexpensive; nor, if properly done,
need more than one spraying be nee
essary to protect the trees for the
entire season. Furthermore, it is
not necessary to apply the poison as
soon as the caterpillars appear. but
they may be destroyed at any time
during the season. The writer owns
a portion of a very old apple orchard,
his trees being separated from the
other portion by simple wire fence
Last year, after going over his trees
and cutting and burning all nests In
sight, no appreciate effect having
been produced, he sprayed with
arsinite. The caterpillars disappear
ed as if by magic; nor was any further
damage suffered during the season,
and the yield of apples was abundant.
Across the fence nothing was done to
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-15

destroy the pest, and by July the
trees we're as bare of leaves as they
we're in January. Only on trees near
the fence where the spray had been
directed for the moment we're there
any leaves and such portions of these
trees retained their leaves and bore
fruit.
"Now, as to a practical application
of this remedy: Power spraying ap-
paratus can be had at no great cost.
1t should be purchased by the city
and be a permanent part OF the city's
equipment. Surely the tens of thou
sands of dollars worth Of property
owned by the city in the form of
trees and shrubbery in parks, play
grounds and schools must be preserved
with the same care as its other prop
erty. The power sprays will direct
two or more streams a considerable
height and distance, and would cover
the foliage on each side of a street at
the ordinary walking pace of a horse.
With three men and a team it should
be possible to cover from ten to fifteen
miles of street in day. Owners of
vacant property could be notified to
clean up their premises and if they
failed to do so the city could do the
work and assess the cost to the prop
erty, as is done by the county in the
case of noxious weeds. 1t is only in
this large way and along such lines
as these that the pest can be con-
trolled. He is not built in small
way and will not be downed by small
isolated efforts.
FORMULA OF REMEDY.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-06-15
FORMULA OF REMEDY.

"For the information of those who
care to use the spray, I would say:
Use two pounds of the dry powder
arsinite of lead to fifty gallons of
water, adding thereto two or three
pounds of laundry soap dissolved in
hot water. The soap causes the spray
to spread uniformly over the surface
of the leaf. instead of dripping from
it, and is very necessary.
