Alabama Admits Only Florida Muir
sery Stock.

Florida nurserymen enjoy a field to
which the nurserymen of no other
state are admitted. F. M. O'Byrne,
state nursery inspector, has recently
received a communication from the
Alabama inspector who states that
nursery stock from all states except
ing Florida is barred. This speaks
we'll for Florida's inspection service
since Alabama made the ruling with
out solicitation on the part of off
cials here.
Alabama has only a small citru;
section but every effort is being made
to develop the industry in the few
southern counties adapted to it. The
discovery of canker and the lack OF
funds to fight it, has almost dis.
heartened the promoters.-Agricul,

FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and a
Hungry Shark.


In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,
there are some tattered ships papers,
brown with age and salt water, and a
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth of the strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1899 the crew of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but did
some piracy now and then on the side.
One day they found it necessary to go
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
ing SO they naturally removed all
traces of their buccaneering trade
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk.
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day British frigate
was becalmed near the spot, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up a
big fellow. cut him open and found the
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken to the captain, who, as soon
as a breeze sprang up. sailed into
Kingston harbOr, found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried. convict

Gov. Park Trammell briefly ad-
dressed the united congregations of
the Baptist and Presbyterian church
es at the first mentioned church house
last Sunday night. Gov. and Mrs.
Trammell were here on visit to the
home of Mrs. Trammell's father, Mr..
7. C. Darby, and as word was spread
abroad that His EXcelelncv would
likely address the Baptist congrega-
ton, the neighboring church dismiss
ed its congregation that all might
hear the governor. The church was
well-tilled and chairs were brought
in and placed in the aisles to accom-
modate the people.
Just before the sermon, Rev. Bon.
steel, pastor of the church, told of
the presence of the governor in the
congregation and requested him to
come forward and address the peo-
pie. Responding graciously to the in
vitation, Gov. Trammell came forward
and in a few brief, appropriate re-
marks told of his pleasure in meet.
ing the people of Crescent City even
IN this unusual manner. He spoke
of the progress made by the State
during the twenty-five years since at
tanning his manhood. In his own field
he had had, of course, more that
would claim his attention along lines
of material development, and yet no
man who was an observer could help
notice that development had been as
rapid along educational and spiritual
lines. facts over which every true
Floridian rejoiced To know of the
States spiritual advancement one had
but to note the magnificent temples
of worship which were being erected
in all parts of Florida, and note also
the self-sacrifcing labor of the de-
voted men and women who were Civ
ing their lives to the advancement
of the Masters kingdom. This was
as it should be, for there could be no
real advancement along material
lines except we recognized our de-
pendence upon our Divine Lord and
Saviour.
Gov. Trammell spoke for only about
five minutes, but the congregation
showed deep interest in all he had 10
say, and there is no doubt but that
when he closed all present felt an adj
ditional pride in this young and vigo-
rous personality, as a specimen of the
States very best manhood, who has
been called repeatedly to positions of
the highest responsibility by such a
unanimous voice as to leave no doubt
of his own Divine call to the chief
Imagistracy of the State.
Following Gov. Trammellis brief
address, Rev. DIR. Bonsteel delivered
a short but impressive sermon. Mrs.
Trammell, who was seated in the
choir, sang a solo in a most ten
derby impressive manner and in a
sweet, pathetic voice, making her
part one of real spiritual power in the
devotions of the evening.

Prune During Dormant Season.

The underlying principle of citrus
grove health is sanitation. To have
proper grove sanitation it is neces-
sary to keep out diseased tissues,
dropped fruit, and all carriers of in
lection. The University of Florida
Experiment Station offers the follow
ing suggestions for pruning:
Dead wood, diseased wood and drop
ped fruit are the sources of infec-
ton for many of the worst fungus
! diseases. The removal of these from
the grove is the best measure of pre-
vention for many diseases, and in
stem-end rot and withertip it is a nee
essary measure. The best time to
rrune is during the dormant season,
in December and January. The next
best time is in the summer after the
first flush of growth has thoroughly
hardened, in June and July.
Growers are cautioned that pru-
ming for withertip when soft wood is
present is apt to result in injury rath-
err than benefit. Remove as many
dead twigs and branches as possible
Prune back into the live healthy
wood. Make smooth cuts at the base
of branch so that no projecting
stubs will be left. These are very
susceptible to withertip infection and
such stubs will die and neutralize the
effect of taking out the dead wood
The larger cut surfaces should be
painted with some substance which
will keep out infection and prevent
evaporation from the cut surface dur
ing healing. The removal and de-
struction of dropped fruit is necessary
when stem-end rot is present.-Ag-
ricultural News Service.

Careful Handling of Citrus Fruits
Paws.

There is no use in raising good
fruit if it is not cared for at picking
time and during the shipping season.
The grower should not lose interest in
the fruit until it is in the hands Of
the consumer. If he consigns he
should use every care possible to have
the fruit reach the market in good
order.
H. E. Stevens, plant pathologist to
the University of Florida Experiment
Station, calls attention to recent
statement issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
at is estimated that more than 95
Il per cent of the decay of citrus fruits
after they reach market is due to
fungi induced by mechanical injuries.
Blue mold decay in oranges, grape
fruit, lemons and other citrus fruits
is frequently so serious as to demor-
alize the market. There is not only
the direct loss of the fruit through
decay, but the indirect looses due to
depreciation in prices for fruit ac-
tually sound, to reputation for poor
keeping quality and to the proper
tionately high overhead expense of
handling a perishable product which
develops great waste and spoilage in
transit and after arrival at the mar
ket."
Results of the handling and ship
ping investigations carried out by the
Department will be found in Farmers
Bulletin 696, which may be had by ap-
plying to Washington. 1t was found
in the shipping experiments during
1911 that blue mold damaged only /
percent of the oranges carefully pick
ed and packed, while that of the com
mercially picked and carefully packed
was 1916 percent, and that of the
commercially picked and. packed was
6S.1 percent.
In all these experiments compari.
sons were made from fruit picked the
same day, packed and shipped in the
same lots. There could have been no
difference except in the methods of
picking and handling. The figures
are full of meaning to the thoughtful
grower.-Agricultural News Service.
