Government Crop Re
ports Protect Farmers

The reports may be had by any
person interested by application
to the Bureau at Washington or
to the State Field Agent. Florida
farmers may obtain the monthly
report by writing to G. C Hare,
University of Florida Experiment
Station, Gainesville. Every farm
.er should have his name placed on
the mailing list to receive the re-
port, for it is the only means
whereby he can obtain reliable in
formation concerning crop condi-
tions of the whole country.
On all speculative crops, reports
are made by various organizations
and individuals. These are pub
lished by unscrupulous publica-
tions for the sole purpose of de-
ceiving the public--to affect the
market for the benefit of those
circulating the erroneous report.
A glaring example is the recent re-
port that there would be an over
production of citrus fruits. The
Government estimates show that
the crop is far below normal.
1t is to supply reliable informa-
ton to the farmer that the Gov
ernnment asks men to report ON
the crops of their localities so
that they can form an intelligent
opinion Of what their crops should
be worth. If farmers refuse to CO.
operate, the spectators are given
. free hand in making false re-
ports and there is no reliable in
formation available to contradict
hem.

SHIPMENT OF GUM cAMPHoR
Consignment of Eleven Tons For
warded to New York

On recent trip up river tho
steamer Osceola, Captain T. w.
Lund, of the Clyde st. Johns Riv-
er Line, brought in consign-
ment of eleven tons of gum cam
|phor.
The shipment was the product
of a grove at Satsuma and con.
sisted of IA barrels and 1856 tubs.
The gum was shipped by w. o.
Richman to C. f. Carley, New
York.
The camphor grove at Satsuma
consists of 1000 acres and it is
said the shipments from there go
to the Celluloid Starch Company,
New York.
Upon arrival here the camphor
was transferred to the Clyde New
York pier and loaded aboard the
steamship Lenape leaving that af-
ternoon for New York-Times-
Union.

For several years the United
States Department. of Agriculture
has been asking farmers in vari-
Gus localities to cooperate in max
ing crop estimates In some COM
munities farmers refuse to make
the reports because they are under
the impression that advanced in
formation is given out to various
trade organizations for determin-
ing crop prices. AS a matter of
fact the reports are kept secret
until given date when they are
given to the public through pub
lished reports by the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, and the press.

In a well considered article the
Fellsmere Tribune strongly al
vises the farmers of the State oil
Florida to unite for protection, to
organize to the end that they may
get what they are entitled to Tor
their products. Comparing the
Florida with the Kansas farmers
who ride in paid-for automobiles,
the Tribune truthfully says that
the problem before the farmers of
Florida is no more difficult than
that solved by the Kansas men,
who fought for fair-price for their
corn and wheat and got it. The
contention is that our farmers
humbly submit to being skinned
year after year, when they should
profit by past experiences an by
united effort demand a fair pi
for what they have to market.
The Tribune is right.-Live Oak
Democrat.

Florida seems to be the Mecca
which the lazy and the lame, the
hungry and the halt, seem to seek
for solace in the way Of shekels.
and so long as the well-intentioned
will allow themselves to be bam-
boozled upon the slightest pretext,
the annual influx will continue to
increase. Verify, the fame and
freedom of Florida are flagrantly
faunted.-Thorn, in Palm Beach

Contention of Cattle
Men Looks Promising

That the Florida cattle indus
try will be put before not only
packing house men but possible in
vestors, is indicated in letters
which have been received during
the past few days by George M.
Chapin, manager of the Florida
department of the Southern Set
Element and Development Organi-
cation. Manager Chaplin has been
at work on the matter for some
time and he thinks that the two
days cattle convention in Novem-
ber will take place perhaps at
Tampa.
1t is believed that primarily
there are vast areas in the state
which may be transformed into
cattle ranches. Showing such ad-
vantages to investors who will be
visitors then is the plan of those
backing up the movement. On
the other hand the fact that many
carloads of cattle are being ship
ped from the runs of the state to
the stockyards of the west will be
set forth.
\ The principal packing concerns
have assured Manager Chaplin
that they will have one or more
representatives present at the
convention. The animal husbandry
department, University of Florida,
will also be represented by men
who have been outlining the sue
cess of the dipping vat process in
the eradication of the cattle tick.
The railway lines have assured

cattle industry comes into promi-
nence again through the filing Of
a bill Of sale last Monday, whore
the Skipper Brothers and the
Roberts Brothers, of Zolfo, sold TO
Henry w. Smith, of Wauchula, a
fine bunch of DeSoto cattle, for
which the handsome sum of $45,-

One signing himself A South
erner," writing to the New York
World, says that few are doubtless
acquainted with the fact that the
south had the first submarine ever
used in war. 1t was a submarine,
nevertheless. Water was pumped
into it to sink it and pumped out
to raise it. But with this handi-
cap it was successful in sinking
the United States ship Housatoni,

ary II, 1S64-Clearwater Sun.

hldH W SeIlu lneiH. Iney are III
|teresting to those who would be
really intelligent on the subject.
The most effective method of
Iridding ourselves of this particu-
lar pest seems to be to prevent
his existence by attacking him in
the breeding stages and by de-
Istroying the conditions that favor
such breeding.
Wet and rotten straw, in which
the heat caused by decay, favors
the Matching of the larvae, is the
source of these flies in the great
grain-growing sections of the
West and Southwest. But in ev-
cry section and in every tempera-
ture above about forty degrees,
Fahrenheit stable manure heaps
are the favorite breeding places.
The fluids Of manure, particularly
of horese and mules, mingling
with stable bedding increase the
danger from this source. The pos
sible peril from this cause is no
less in Florida than in Texas, and
the mild climate of this state
makes the danger an all-year-
round one.
Screening the manure pile is the
safest and surest protection. But
the regulation of stables is mu-
nicipal problem. 1t is not within
the jurisdiction of the state. If
one asks for a concrete example
of this proposition and of its pos
sibilities, there is one ready at
hand. The progressive city Of
Miami, three hundred miles and
more south of Jacksonville, has
e-thousandth or less of the num-
Der of stable flies that affiict her
northern neighbors. Miami has
had the sense to accept and act ON
good advice by regulating her iv-
cry and other stables, and she is
reaping the reward, while reck-
less neighbors to the north of her
and of larger population, refuse
to meet the situation and are get
ting what is coming to them, and
there are plenty Of other Florida
cities in the same class.
Love Of the almighty dollar has
been the sentence to perdition of
many a soul, which otherwise
might have had some hope of hea-
ven. But the man who sends his
to untimely death by re-
fusing to clean and keep clean his
because it costs real
fate should be pre-
pared or invented for him. And
the city that backs him in his sell
fishness and greed is hardly less
to blame. State Board of Health

PUNTA GoRDA, FLORIDA,
Prevention VS.. Suppression

Why do we harbor poison-bear-
ing insects in our bosoms, even to
Jour own undoing, when we know
better?
A serpent we would run from.
| 1t is repulsive, it is a tangible in
strument of harm, but all the
snakes in Florida and in the Unit
ed States of America have never
done one-hundredth nor one
thousandth of the harm to man
kind that flies have wrought.
Flies, mosquitoes and other
small vermin used to be regarded
mainly as nuisances but the scien-
fists have shown and proved to us
that they come bringing disease
and death. In spite of this warn.
ing, we do little to discourage
these pests, and what we under
take is their suppression instead
of attacking them at home, in
the places where they breed, and
by annihilation, end them, or les
sen their numbers.
The common house fly, beside
which the buzzard is a model of
cleanliness, does not scatter dis
ease through its bite, but it ear.
ries typhoid germs and leaves
them on the food we eat. 1t rev.
els in the filthiest of filth and
brings its poisons, not to our doors
but into our kitchens and to the.
dining table, and we permit this
invasion of our rights without
murmur.
The stable fly, although he
looks to our unframed eyes, very
much like his dirty cousin, is al
together another proposition. He,
or rather she-for the female of
the species is more deadly than
the malc-and causes the real
trouble--is blamed by the doctors
for carrying another set of trou-
bles. She has a beak that pcne-
trates the thick hides of horses,
mules, cows, sheep and swine. She
sucks their blood and, in large
causes their disabling
and even their death from cx-
of the vital fluid Less
frequently she is charged with the
crime Of infant paralysis and per-
haps some other troubles.
The specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and other scientific men have
spent a good deal of study on this
insect, and the Department has
published quite recently THE
STABLE FLY, Document $40,
and two monographs on the de-
'truction of fly larvae, Documents
