Gratitude inspires in us the grace
of giving.
Gratitude is the great original
source of noble living and service, just
as sin is the original source and root
of all selfshness. The great all-see

planet, with all its scenes of revelry
and its riot of sin, beholds but one
fostering ulcer -selfishneSs-a and
gazes upon one thing of great beau

every need of man the voice of God.

Several citrus diseases are Deepen

favorable growth. If several days of
such weather obtain during Deem
her. stem-end rot, anthracnose and
blue mold are apt to become trouble
some. The stefn-end rot fungus is
not capable of entering healthy fruits.
II depends upon some other agency,
which wounds or weakens the fruits,
to prepare a way. A way is usually
afforded by scale insects.
Those growers who have not kent
scales in control will likely be trou-
bed. Kill the scales and the fruit
will be strong enough to resist the
rot. This must be done before wet
weather sets in because the fungus
will awake at the first opportunity
and then spraying will be too late.
