BUY FLORIDA NURSERY STOCK

In line with the Buy at Home"
movement comes the State nursery
inspector. F. NJ. O'Byrne, with an
appeal to growers to buy nursery
stock grown in Florida. He saws
there are reasons other than senti-
mcnt which should induce the grow
'rs to adopt that cause. Florida has
the highest nursery inspection re-
quirements of any State in The
Union. The soil of the State is diff
ferent from that of any other and
many trees which do we'll elsewhere
will fail here. According to Mr..
O'Byrne, nurserymen of Florida have
learned the varieties best suited to
the State and their experience will
prevent the buyer from purchasing
those which will not grow well here.
In addition to the soil. Florida has
climate peculiar to itself. Certain
varieties are adapted to the State
ard others are not. The domestic
nurserymcn are producing she
adapted varieties. Furthermore,
the trees produced in the State have
become acciimated Peaches are
grown on plum stock here because
such stock is immune to nematodes
and root-knot.
1t is less difficult to obtain legal
adjustments when they become
necessary in ones own State than it
Is in another State. If diseases
threaten particular fruit the home
nurseryman can be depended upon
to help fiEht it, while those in other
states viii not concern themselves
with it as a rule.
Diseases may be imported on for
ign stock. Even though the stock
is inspected after it arrives. the dis
CaSed portions of the trees might
have been removed previously md
ell visible evidence removed. The
only efficient inspection is that
made on the nursery premises. Flor
ida cannot go to other States and
inspect the stock which is to be
shipped in Package inspection after
tne stock arrives is all that can be
done and this is not satisfactory for
the foreeoi83 reason. The only
way that the buyer can be reason

LOSSES IN BATTLE

The New York Sun publishes an
instructive article from an officer IN
the medlcal depal tment of the Unit
Cd States army relative to the per-
certaRe of those who die from
wounds received in battle during
the present war as compared with
other wars, the conclusion being
thai tn fate of the wounded is bet
ter in this war and a larger per-
centaee of those stricken recover.
To 90 back only two centuries,
this authority shoys that of those
wounded at the battle of Blenheim,
in the early years of the eighteenth
century, one out of three died
During the wars of Napoleon one
man died out of each four wounded
in battle died In the Crimcan war
five out OF each six wounded men re-
covered In the Franco-Prusssian
war of 1870 there was one death
out OF each twelve wounded men. In
the present war it is estimated that
nineteen out of twenty wounded men
recover.
Those figures. of course, do not
include those killed outright by
shot or shell. The percentage of
these losses varies curiously little
in the great wars of the last two
hundred years. OF those stricken on
the battlefield just about the same
'percentage succumbeb at once, or
died before medical attention reach
ed them, from injuries suffered from
the old muskets of 1905 as from the
shrapnel shells and machine guns of
1915.
An interesting table in the same
article shows the total of battle
casualties" as gathered from the
best authorities, of some of the wars
Of rec, INT date. The English fought
series of historic engagements in
Spain under the Duke of Wellington
in Napoleon's time, but only 23,75O
men were actually killed or wound
ed on the battlefield. In the Grim
can war of 1855 many thousands of
Englishmen died of disease or ex-
posure. but the battle casualties
numbered only 14,450.
The Boer war was considered a
hard contest while it was going on,
but the total battle casualties of the
| British in that war foot up to only
$500. At the time the officer pre-
pared the table the battle casualties
in all the British armies during the
| present war amounted to 336,946,
showing conclusively how much
greater is this war in point of loss
than any the British nation has evr
engaged in.
Battle casualties in the Union
army during our Civil war amount
ed to 367, 900. OF these S5,SS7 re-
suited in deaths. Total deaths in
the Union army from all causes, in
clu1ing disease. totalled approxi-
matcly $50 900, or more than double
the deaths from all causes that have
SO far taken place in the British
armies.
During the Stubbornly contested
Russo-Japanese war of 1905 the
/ battle casualties of the Russians
numbered 17I,000; the japanese
losses. largely because of their at
tacks upon the Notifications of Port
Arthur, exceeded those of the Rus

mans in the Franco-Prussian war OF
1879 reached $4,000. mere frac-
tion of the loss that nation has suf-
fered in the present struggle

An abatement Of the mumps cpl
demic which for a time threatened
the schools Of the city, was noted
Thursday morning in the records of
the board of public health. Two weeks

cases of humps in various portions Of

Ing the larger portion. Thursday there
were but rs, and it was declared that
through the rest of this week at least
II more cases would be released.
DR. Charles s. Bosenbury, secretary
of the health bard said that humps
were difficult TO subdue in the schools
because parents through negligence
allowed the disease to go without med
zeal care. He declared that the threat
ened epidemic might be attributed to
this lack of care on the part of par
entS
1t was said that the city was fairly
free of other contagious diseases
which is considered remarkable for
this time of year. There is but one
case of scarlet fever in the city and
few of typhoid and measles. The latter
disease is usually prevalent at this
time.
Medical care of school children
and sanitary conditions in the homes
will work wonders in the abatement

has been a long time since they were
