located some excellent orange and

from these islands are to the effect

ner that was very satisfactory. From
this it looks as though Lee county
will be the first to make shipments,
for there is fruit ready to go forward
as soon as the market opens. From
all sections of the county the reports
are of satisfactory nature, and the
indications are that large crop will
be handled. Should a good market
open some of the growers are going to
make big money from their fruit.

FIGHT ON CITRUS cANkER
Much Progress Is Being Made IN the
County of Dade Against
Disease

Palatka.-Prof. R. H. Rolls, director
of the experimental station at Gaines
vile, was in the city on his way
home from Dade county, and he de-
clares that progress is being made
there in fighting the citrus canker now
injecting that section.
The disease has not shown itself
amenable to treatment with insecti-
cides or fungicides, and the only
method of coping with the new and
little known infection that has proven
successful so far is the destruction
of the diseased tree by means of fire
and burning the ground around the
tree to destroy all the fungus. The
disease was brought in from Texas
on nursery stock.
