QUARANTINE CITRUS CANCER
Growers Planning Fight Against
Fruit Disease.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Baton Rouge. - Orange growers
held a meeting in the Hibernia Bank
building OF New Orleans September
10 to adopt plans for fighting the cit
rus cancer, a Japanese disease which
is threatening the destruction Of the
citrust industry OF Louisiana.
1t is probable that steps will be
taken to secure a quarantine against
nursery stock from other states. The
disease is prevalent in Texas, Missis-
sippi and Florida. It is said to be
causing grave concern, particularly in
Florida, where the citrus industry is
extensive.
The citrus cancer has made its en-
try into Louisiana only recently. Or.
Z. S. Tucker Of the Experiment Sta
ton staff was called to the orange
belt several weeks ago to look at a
peculiar fungus growth which was
blighting the trees. He recognized it
as cancer, and advised the burning OF
all trees affected, and also the grouhd
for a considerable area around the
tree. Careful cooperation in burning
diseased trees is needed If the dis
ease is to be checked, the Experiment
Station officials declare.

New Orleans.-Theodore Roosevelt

He put in a busy day from the time
he left his car at Franklin early in the

he left New Orleans.
He left Franklin in an automobile,
delivered a short address at Jeaner-
cite and a mile and half outside OF
New Iberia gave up the machine for
horse and led a procession of horse
len into the town. The trip back TO
New Orleans was by train and in the
five hours ride he spoke at least
score of times to small crowds that
gathered at the rear of the train at
each station.
Most of the day was spent in the
sugar bowl" the center of the Louis
