CITRUS FRUIT LOSSES
Blue-Mold, stem-End Rot, and
Other Diseases Reduce Profits

Washington, D. C.-If the
grower of citrus fruits cannot de-
liver his product at the market lin
sound, attractive condition, the
money and labor invested in his
orchard are largely, if not entire
ly wasted. This is the conclusion
reached by Investigators of the I.
S. Department of Agriculture in
a new Farmers Bulletin No. 696
Too many growers, points out
the author of the bulletin, fail to
realize that under modern condi-
tons of handling, of long dis
lance shipment, and of selling a
perishable commodity such as cit
rus fruits, the marketing of fruit
in sound condition is as essential
to success as its production.
Serious Losses from Blue-Mold
1t is estimated that more than
95 per cent of the decay of citrus
fruits occurring on arrival at the
market and during the first ten
days after arrival, are due to at
lacks Of fungi resulting from
mechanical injuries or breaks in
the skin. Blue-mold decay in or
anges, grapefruit, lemons, and
other citrus fruits is frequently so
serious as to demoralize the mar
ket. There is not only the di-
rect losses due (1) to deprecia-
tion in prices for fruit actually
sound, (2) to a reputation for
poor keeping quality, and (3) to
the proportionately high over
head expense of handling a per-
lshable product which develops
great waste and spoilage in tran
sit and after arrival at the mar
ket.
Another kind of decay due to
attacks of fungi is that known as
stem-end rot. The losses from
this are most severe after hold
ing period of ten days or two
weeks. Diplodia rot which close
ly resembles stem-end decay, is
one of the most serious diseases
of citrus fruits in Porto Rico and
Cuha

Control of Stem-End Decay

The prevention of losses due to
stem-end decay and diseases of a
similar nature depends on proper
orchard, cultural, and sanitation
practices. Losses from stem-end
rot, which develops very slowly
in temperatures below As deg. to
80 deg. f., can be minimized by
prompt cooling, by transporting
the fruit under low temperatures,
and by holding it on the market
at low temperatures as far as
practicable. Extensive investiga-
tions and practical commercial
experience have conclusively de-
monstrated that citrus fruits can
be handled with sufficient care to
prevent injury and to deliver the
fruit on the market in sound con-
dition, even under adverse eli
matte surroundings.
What Careful Handling Means
The elimination of losses due
to blue-mold decay and other dis
eases, it is stated, is not a matter
of attention to one or a few de-
tails of the handling problem, but
of exercising in all operations the
utmost care consistent with COM
mercial work. 1t necessitates
thorough organization of labor

SUFFRAGElIEs LOOK
FOR CONSIDERATION

Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Anderson,
president of the state w. G. T. u, and
Mrs. Clara L. barrow, president of the
state Votes for Women league, and the
organizations that they serve, invite
the attention of the public to the fact
that the 10000 votes cast for woman
suffrage at the last general election
entities the present suffrage bill to a
fair and honest treatment by this leg
islative assembly.
In the last go days the following
eight states have passed suffrage bills:
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Tennessee, West Vir-
ginia, Argansas and Iowa. and all
with good majorities. For example,
the vote in Massachusetts, was 1913 to
13 in the house, and 13 to 8 in the SEN
ate; in New York it was ia to 0 in
the house, and "a to in the senate.
In North Dakota in the recent cleo
ton the votes cast on the constitution
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1915-03-04

al amendments averaged about $4,000
for each. For example the total vote
on state aid to highways was 68,441.
It is not probable that larger actual
vote was cast on the woman suffrage
resolution.
1t is fair to presume that the vote
on the suffrage question, for and
against, was about the same as that
upon the constitutional amendments.
If the actual vote cast On the suffrage
question was about $4,000 and over
10000 votes were cast for it, it receiv-
ed majority of about $4,000 votes.
We believe this is a reasonable as
sumption. q. .... ....,
1t cannot be proved that $4,000 votes
were cast against suffrage. We know
there were blanks counted in this 49,
600. It cannot be proved that, woman
suffrage did not receive a majority of
the actual votes cast on the question.

NO0RHEAD WORRIES
OVER OPTION BILL

Moorhead, Mimi, March 1.-Gov. W.
S. Hammond signed the F. H. Peterson
county option bill yesterday afternoon
at about o'clock. AS the measure
carries an emergency clause. it is now
law, and petition may be started
at any time.
After the news reached this city,
county option was the topic of every
group which gathered on the street.
One of trio of boys, the oldest of
who was probably not over ten, was
overheard to remark, "Yep, the gov
ernor signed it about o'clock"
According to local attorneys, the
probabilities are that there will be no
saloons in Moorhead after June 80.
Little time will be lost in getting out
petition, it is thought, and the spe-
cial election will probably be held
early in May. If the vote is anti
license, no license may be issued after
the election has been decided, accord
ing to the state law, and the licenses
of the Moorhead saloons expire July L.

NORTHERN PACIFIC PLANS
EXTENSIONS IN STATE

Manning, N. D., March 1.-There are
persistent rumors from the country
north that the Northern Pacific rail-
way company is now figuring on run
ming line from Werner up Knife
river via Manning and Fayette to Sid
ney, Mont. The engineers have found
that to extend the Kildeer line through
the Bad Lands will cost many millions
of dollars on account of the tunnels
that would be required in getting a
good grade.
As near as can be learned it is the
great expense of the construction that
keeps the Northern Pacific from ex-
tending west from Kildeer. It is re-
ported that the extension through the
Bad Lands from this point would mean
the construction of four or five tun-
nels and that the expense for con-
structing so to 60 miles of road would
be enormous.
Just now the money market for big
enterprises is very tight and it will
likely be a year or two at the earliest
before the railroad company can float
bonds for new work. In the meantime
the engineers Of the Northern Pacific
will try and find the most feasible
route through the Bad Lands. An easy
grade is one of the things the COM
pany must have.
The Werner people are said to be
