SUMMER GARDENING
How to Raise Vegetables in Hot
Weather

Every year at this season, from
July to October, there is much
complaint because the only vege-
tables on the local markets are i'm
ported onions, cabbage and Irish
potatoes. If our truckers
would only supply the trade at
this season with fresh beans, field
peas, lettuce, tomatoes, turnfp
"greens" and other desirable vege-
tables, they would get good prices
and make more than enough mon
ey to pay them for their trouble.
Then, why don't they do it?
Some explain that the heat of the
sur will destroy the young plants.
But Capt. j. j. McCann says that
the vegetables named above can be
grown easily during the hot days
by planting them under the pine
apple sheds, or beneath the shade
of the palmetto trees or in rows
flanked by grass on each side.
Palmettoes are not surface feed
ers and, therefore, while shading
the plants, will not take from
them the nutritive properties of
the soil. Also, if grass is per-
mitted to grow on each side and
within two or three inches of the
rows, it will keep the ground and
the plants cool and husband mois-
ture enough to supply them. The
roots of the plants will reach under
the grass and get all the moisture
they need.
Now that our truckers have this
information, we beseech. them to
start to planting forthwith-do it
right now. Plant an eighth of an
acre today and two weeks from
now plant another eighth and
keep planting every two weeks
until the middle of September.
The experiment is well worth try
ing; it will cost but little and is
likely to pay big profit.

FLORIDA EXCEPTED
Rural Life in Midsummer Constant
Delight

From the north, the east and
the plains of the great west come
tales of sweltering nation. The
heated term is on. A torrid wave
is sweeping over the country from
ocean to ocean. No state in the
union seems to be immune except
Florida. Deaths from sunstrokes
and prostrations are reported
from all over the land, but none
occur in Florida.
These are facts that are more
eloquent lin their existence than
can be made in their telling. All
over the country, there few fay-
ored spots in mountain, by the sea
and lake and river, but all of Flor
ida, is cool and pleasant
The entire state may be used as
a summer resort all the way from
Pensacola to Key West. No other
state or country has the same de-
lightful blend of climate. No
where else are the burning rays
of the midsummer sun go wonder
fully tempered by neverfailing
breezes from both gulf and ocean.
In its wealth of country woodland,
lake, brook, seacoast and river,
Florida is a Golconda.
And rural life in Florida in mid
summer is constant delight. =

is the prohibition of hunting on

Orleans to Minneapolis.

Malaria Unnecessary

Every man in Florida who per.
mits himself to have an attack OF
malaria, is to a certain degree, an
offender against the public. True,
1T is not felony, not even a mis-
demeanor under the law, but it is
an offense because it is avoidable
with proper and reasonable pre-
cautions, and it endangers the
health and comfort of all others in
the community.
More than this, with the proper
care of malarial cases, their treat
ment under screens to prevent the
anopheles, the malaria carrying
mosquito, from becoming inocu-
lated, the disease would soon be re-
duced to negligible proportions
where it would die out of itself.
Then it could be reintroduced on
ly by importation from other Sec
tiOns.
The same fact is true of some
other diseases, and it may be illus
trated by the matter of the tick in
cattle. When this bovine inflic-
tion is SO reduced that FIVE per .
cent or less of the cattle in a given
section are afflicted with it, the
disease will die out without the
aid of man or of the dipping vat.
Malaria is a direct result of the
neglect of known and proven
knowledge and the disregard of
good, sound medical advice. For
malaria is carried from one human
being to another by this particular

Mr.. Ross Mobley came to Pun
ia Gorda to spend his vacation

about ten days ago. Naturally,
the fishing Charlotte Harbor af-

went to it with an eagerness sell

tired of the daily catches of the or
dinary varieties of fish and turn
ed his attention to the big fellows.
Charlotte Harbor is and always
was full of big fish such as sharks,
Jewish, porpoises, and the like,
and Mr.. Mobley fitted himself out
with such lines and hooks as the
capture of big sea monsters re-
quires.
Last Friday night while fishing
off the north side of the pier, he
got bite. Improved to be some-
thing more than a nibble. The
bait he was using was a large null

length. Three or four feet of log
chain extended from the hook and
connected with the rope line. No,
Mr.. Mobley didn't use a casting
rod to place his bait. He made a
coil of the rope and slung it out

/ This is the only means of COM
municating it. Ii can come only
from person afflicted with it con-
sequently, if the only possible
source be removed, the disease
must vanish. If there were no
cases Of malaria in the community,
it could not be carried and the
mosquito would cease TO be dan
gerous.
Malaria is present always in
Florida under existing conditions.
Its open season, in which it is most
active and virulent, begins in the
early spring and it dourishes in
creasingly until October or until
the cool weather of the fall Grip
Piles the activity of the mosquito.
The infected and injecting insect
dies out largely in the winter, and
the individual cases recover to q
large extent from their ma!arial
troubles, but the disease may con-
tinue through the winter sufficient
ly to furnish a starting focus in
the spring, and a few infected
mosquitoes may find q favoripg
and protected shelter and survive
the severity of the cold months,
and be ready for business when
warm weather returns.
No person may become immune
to the disease through any num-
Der of recurring attacks, and he who
perpetuates it by permitting him
self to have the disease, may be
careless to his own undoing and
future suffering.
Medical authorities, the high.
est and most competent, say that
malaria is an unnecessary disease,
that is, it may be avoided by OBJ
serving certain precautionary acts
by the individual. Knowing that
it is a germ disease, knowing by
what means it is transmitted from
one individual to another, and
knowing that this means-the par
ticular mosquitoes active only in
the late hours of day and night,
from about 5 o'clock to daylight
of the following morning. and at
no other hours or time, knowing
these working hours, it becomes
simply question of keeping
away from her--for the female is
the dangerous insect--or of keep
ing her away from you. The
answer is screening, screening the
porch, the bedroom and living
rooms and the bed itself. No
halfway screening, but the insect
proof kind, and it must be re-
membered that the smallest chance
to pass such barrier is always
improved by the mosquito.
But back of this is the precau-
tion that prevents the mosquito
from becoming infected with the
poisonous bacteria. If every di-
agnosed case of malaria in Florida
could be treated under or behind
mosquito-proof screening, the
disease in this state would or could
be wiped out in three months, or
could be so reduced numerically
as to be no longer n source of dam
ger and would die out.
And yet popular belief holds
that it is an unavoidable affiiction
or infliction, to which .only an
abiding faith in the intelligence Of
all-wise Creator can reconcile us.
The same Creator made it possible
for man 10 drown in deep water,
but He does not require that man
90 into deep water. He is at per-
feet liberty to keep away from it.

of the United States department
of agriculture, bureau of biologi'
cal survey, fixing the seasons IN
which the shooting of migratory
birds is allowed, authorized under
the recently enacted Weeks-Mc-
Lean migratory bird law, have
just been made public by the de-
partment. They are effective as
of October l. 1919 A
In view of the widespread In
terest in this matter, not only on
the part of sportsmen but of low
ers of wild life generally, the
American Game Protective and
Propagation association, which
was active in the movement for
the enactment of the Weeks-Mc-
Lean law, has summarized the
most important points involved IN
these regulations as follows:
Generally speaking, the coun-
try is divided into two zones,
northern and southern, the divid-
ing line running wholly or in part
north of latitude 40 degrees and
the Ohio river.
The twenty-five states included
in the northern zone comprise
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts. ,Rhode'Island, Con
nectlcut, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, OHIO, Indiana, Illi-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
snesota, Iowa, North Dakota, Ne
braska, Colorado, Wyoming, Ida
no, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington.
The twenty-three states includ.
ed in the southern zone are Dele
ware, Maryland, District of Co
lumbia, Virginia, West Virginia,
North and South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico,
Arizona, California, Nevada and
Utah.
The shooting season fixed for
these two zones varies according
to the four classihcations of mi
gratory birds that have been made,
as will be seen later. The zones
thus established take the place of
fifty similar districts now existing
under the statutes of the several
states.
BY way Of summarization the
following statements may be made:
/. Exceptions have been made
in both zones for numerous rea-
sons, but in most cases the closed
seasons take the average of the
existing laws of the states in the
particular zones in which they are
located.
9. There has been more cutting
down on the closing than the open
ing dates of the shooting seasons
as they now exist.
3. In most cases three months
of open shooting are allowed for
water fowl and in some cases as
much as three and one-half mon
tbs.
4. Spring shooting is absolutely
prohibited. T Ia
S. Shooting of migratory birds
between sunoet and sunrise is like
wise prohibited.
6. In no case will there be less
than thirty days when birds may
be shot during the period of their
greatest abundance.
Birds that may be shot are di-
We'd by the new regulations into
four classes. These, and the open
seasons allowed on them, follow:

questions which the administration
will have to solve. Originally he was
inclined to favor specific line of
action on this problem But as he has
gone farther and farther into his con-
sideration of the question involved he
has come to the conclusion that there
is much to be said on both sides. and
he will retain an open mind on the
subject until the problem is brought
squarely before him.
The president has not yet had
brought to his attention the sugges-
ton from Japan that 1t be permitted
to send representative to Sacra-
mento in an endeavor to remedy the
abuses complained OIL by the Califor
mans. and to remove, II possible, the
reason for the enactment of anti
allen land owning legislation. 1t is
not expected that this will be taken
up with him at all. Secretary of
State Bryan, now in the California
capital, will be able to dispose of the
subject without any assistance from
the president
The president is watching the de-
velopments OF the Pacific slope very
carefully. He believes that the sober,
calm Judgment of the California peo-
pie themselves will prevent this ma
ton being embarrassed by the act OF
any one state. Much Of the newspaper
comment he believes, represents the
radical element and does not contain
the real views OF the majority of the
California lawmakers.
| So the administration will mark

reports the result of his visit There
will be- no meeting of problems thai
may never arise. Summed up. Pres
ident Wilson has taken the Califor
mans at their word and that they art
willing to cooperate he has sent his
highest cabinet officer to represen
him, and he sees no reason to feal
that there will be any unpleasant out

There have been no developments il

ton that there are "jokers" conceal

at the executive Offices. The bill reI

Womsn's Attitude Explained

Rockford Register:-A decidedly
anomalous condition is found in the
difference in the attitude Of eastern
md western women towards the sale
Of intoxicating liquors. In Michigan
and other east central states the sa-
looms are opposed to woman suffrage
because they believe granting the
right will mean restriction of the
liquor business. IN sevc-al sections
of the west. however, the condition
seems to be reversed, many towns
and counties having succeeded in
keeping the grog shop out until wo-
men were given the ballot. 1t would
be interesting to know the reason TO,
