BOOST CATTLE INTERESTS
Association Adopted Plans t.
Further the Industry

Cattle prospects for the South
are looking up. The Southern
! Cattlemen's Association which
met in Birmingham, Ala, August
Is, 10, 20, adopted several plans
to further the industry. Among
the problems which the Associa-
tion will take up are the improve
ment of southern cattle, improve
ment Of marketing conditions,
methods of obtaining favorable
rates from the railroads, produc-
ton of feed for cattle, home con-
sumption of cotton seed.
In short the general plan is to
feed, market and finance southern
cattle. Steps will be taken to or
ganize a livestock bank which
will furnish money to cattle rails
ers for finishing and marketing
their stock. A rate expert to
deal with railroads and to take
care of the Associations legal
matters probably will be appoint
ed.
More than 100 head of purebred
Shorthorn, Hereford and Aber-
deem Angus cattle were sold to
southern buyers. The average
price was between $3.50 and 5000.
Prof. G. L. Willoughby of the Uni
versity Of Florida College Of Agri-
culture says that considering the
animals were all young the prices
were good. Representatives of the
three purebred associations were
pleased with the prices.
Professor Willoughby read a
paper: Feeding and Manage
ment of Dairy Cattle in the
South" before the meeting. C.

CROP is BELOW NORMAL
What Government Reports on
Citrus Fruits Show

If the grower will remark the
fact that buyers followed close up
on the heels of the report that
there would be an overproduction
of citrus fruits this year, he may
be able to form an opinion as to
who was responsible for the re-
port. Someone intended evident
ly to buy a short crop at a low
price and sell it to a hungry mar
ket at his own figure.
The last monthly report OF the
United States Bureau of Crop Es-
Inmates places the grape fruit
prospects at 6S. That is 20 per
cent below the crop estimate for
the same time last year and 81
per cent below normal. 1t is IA
per cent below the estimates for
two years ago. By comparing the
production of last year with that
of this, the grower can decide
whether he should receive a lower
price for his fruit than he did
last.
Florida oranges are placed at rs
about three-fourths of a crop.
That is IL percent below last year
and IS per cent below 1913. Cali
fornia oranges are placed at sc.
The grower is reminded that the
reports of the Government are
made impartially and are as ac-
curate as such estimates can be
made. The Bureau has found that
the estimates vary very little from
the estimates of final yields. They
are accurate enough, therefore,
for all practical purposes in de-
termining prices.

cation. 1t also distributes free ia
|indigents the Jenner vaccine, the
anti-typhoid vaccine, also diph-
liberia antitoxin.
The State Board Of Health, al
its annual spring session of 1915
authorized and directed the in
stallation of the system Of tuber-
culosis district nursing, a practi-
cal treatment and education in
handling this disease, which is de-
signed to take the place of state
sanitarium. The sanitaria system
has been found from long expert
ence not to be statewide beneficial
in the general treatment of the
disease, and the open air treat
ment under trained instructions is
vastly more effective. The new
plan of district nursing is a charge
upon the funds Of the Board.
The legislature of 1915 authoriz-
ed the Board to undertake state
wide campaign of education on
health matters, by the use of the
already famous " health train. "
Practical visual instruction by ex-
pert teachers is to be given in ev-
cry part of Florida that is reach
ed by railroads, and this method
lis known to be cheaper and vastly
more effective than any other
means. This expense will be large,
but the results will be worth all
i the cost.
The Board has considered it
necessary to erect a $4,000 build
ing at Pensacola for laboratory
purposes.
The Board maintains at FIVE
central points in the state labora-
tories whcre quick accurate and
scientific determinations are made
of disease germs through samples
of blood submitted from the per-
sons of patients. This work is of
incalculable value to the doctors
of the state and through them to
the people, in diagnosing disease.
The administration Of the work
of the Board calls for a large ag-
gregate of salaries. The same is
true of every institution, mercan-
tile or educational, which requires
for it's success the services of
trained experts and specialists.
The specialist is rightly an expen-
sive man, and who is willing to en-
trust the general health of Florida
citizens to any but experts.
From the beginning of its work
every expenditure of the Board
has been recorded and these rec
ords have been preserved. They
are open to the inspection of every
citizen and taxpayer of the State.
Sush inspection, intelligently, hon
estly and fairly made, would dis
arm long distance criticism,
whether it be made for political
purposes or from the attitude of
the Irishman who didn't know
what the law was, but anyway he
was "agin it".-State Board of
