A GREATER PORK
PRODUCTION IN
FLORIDA NEEDED
The Hog a Mortgage Litter in
the West
PROFITABLE IN THIS STATE
Especially Adapted Great Va
riety of Cheap Forage Crops
and Feeds-Purebreds Cheap
est in the Long Run.

Up in the corn belt of the Cen
tral and Central Western states
the hog has earned the title of
mortgage litter. Perhaps there
are not many mortgages to lift in
Florida, but an animal which can
gain that significant title is a pret-
ty good partner with which to go
into business. John M. Scott,
vice director of the University of
Florida Experiment Station, is
anxious for the farmers to raise
more hogs.
The state is especially adapted
to hog raising because of the great
variety of cheap forage crops and
feeds. 1t will be only a few weeks
until winter forage crops should
be planted, Every farmer should
procure not only enough pigs for
his own use but he should have G.
nough to utilize large amount of
forage this fall and winter.
Purebred hogs are cheapest in
the long run because they will fat
ten best and utilize their feed
more economically. 1t never pays
to buy or feed scrub stock. Hence
Mr.. Scott advises some of the
breeds. 1t is not necessary to buy
stock unless one wishes
to go into the purebred business.
The pork or lardhog breeds are
the Berkshires, PolandChinas, Du-
roc Jerseys. The bacon breeds are
the Hampshires and Tamworths.
1t is not advisable to raise the
Chester White or any of the other
white breeds in Florida because
they blister in the hot sun, OF the
other breeds, the farmer may
choose the one which he fancies.
All are good and any one may be
best suited to given set of corr
ditions.

HOW DOMESTIC
PESTS CAN BE
STAMPED OUT
Strategic Tactics are suggesed by
Eutomologist Berger
NOT EFFECTIVE
Pests Will Not Eat Them and
Fighting by Hand Endless Task
Methods that Will Check the
Enemy.

The hosts of domestic pests pay
very little attention to the daily
ultimatum of the irate housewife.
In fact some of them seem to
thrive inspite of the periodic cam
lpaigns to exterminate them. A
mong those which seem to be i'm
mune to all effective means Of in
sect warfare are the cockroaches,
ants and silver fish. They do not
take readily to eating poisons, and
| fighting them by hand is hope
less and an endless task.
Unfortunately there is no mag
ic exterminator which the good
housewife can enlist as her ally,
but DR.. Il. w. Berger, formerly
with the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station and now entomo-
logist to the State Plant Board,
bids her be of good cheer. There
are certain stragetic tactics which
will at least hold the ravages of
the enemy in check.
Cockroaches seem to be suscep-
tible to the proprietary phes =
us roach pastes or they may be
caught in traps. The United
States Bureau of Entomology rec
ommends that little stale beer or
ale, of which reaches are fond, be
placed in a glass jar and that
sticks be placed against the side of
the jar so that the reaches can
climb up. Bend the sticks so
that the end will extend a few in
ches into the mouth. The reaches
will tumble in and drown. DIR.
Berger suggests that gasolene
spurted on them with an oil can is
also effective.
Ants may be kept away from
food by painting a strip around
the pantry shelf papers with So
luton of one teaspoonful OF pow
dered bichloride of mercury in
pint of so per cent de-natured al
cohol. The alcohol evaporates
and leaves the bichloride precipi-
tated on the surface treated. The
ants will not eat the poison but
they will not cross it. They can
also be kept from tables by paint
ing a strip of the solution around
the legs. Do not allow anything
to touch the wall so that the ants
may bridge the strip. Be very
careful in using the bichloride be-
cause it is a deadly poison. Nests
may be destroyed by pouring into
them scalding water.
About the only way to combat
with silver fish is to keep starch
ed clothing, books, and paper con,
tanning paste well aerated and in
the light. All the pests may be
\
killed by fumigating with carbon
bisultide if the room can be made
air tight. Do not handle the BIZ
sulfide near fire.

Commenting on The Herald s
warning that Candidate Cats is
not man to be laughed out of
the race, the Apalachicola Times
says: "This is the first intimation
that we have seen in the Florida
newspapers that the candidacy of
Mr.. Cats was regarded seriously
by the citizens of Florida. We a.
gree, however, with the Herald
when it says that it believes if
Mr.. Cats were elected Governor
he would be another Cole Blease
and would disturb the peace and
retard the progress of the State"

PRESENT STAGE
OF ACTIVITIES IN
EUROPEAN WAR
Shows But Little Change During
the Week
BRITISH TRANSPORT SUNK
Russians Claim to be Holding
Germans in Check and Italy
Claims Progress-Eastern Sit
uation is Clearing.

London, England-The British
admiralty's record of transporting
great numbers of troops without
the loss of life, so far as reported
officially, has been broken. The
torpedo of a submarine at last
found the mark and the transport
Royal Edward has gone to the
bottom in the Aegean sea, with
loss of life which may reach 1000.
In the land fighting, a crisis has
not been reached in the present
stage Of the eastern campaign.
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian
commander-i -in-chief, will not be
able to assure the safety of his
army until the menace presented
by the operations of Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg in Courland is
removed. In the Bausk district of
Courland the German army has
been driven back toward the Aa
river, while Kovno is still stem
ming the German tide. The chief
struggle, however, centers in the
region north of the Niemen.
Between the Narew and the
Bug the German drive evidently
is making some headway, al
though Petrograd claims that the
attacks have been repulsed after
heavy fighting. Along the middle
Bug, the Austrians and Germans
have forced several crossings. If
the Russians plan to hold the val
uaole transverse railroad they
must soon check the Austrians
and Germans definitely.
From the standpoint of the al
lies, the near eastern situation is
clearing with the assertion, off
cially, inspired from Nish, that
Servia s attitude is not irreconcil-
able. Former Premier Venizelos,
having been summoned by King
Constantine, is expected to be
once more in the saddle tomorrow.
Roumania is becoming more de-
termined in her refusal to permit
passage of munitions to Turkey,
which country is reported to be
showing concern over the attitude
of Bulgaria.
Advices from Athens say King
Constantine accepted the resigna-
tion of the Gounaris cabinet and
that M. Venizelos was invited to
consult with the king today.
Activity is increasing along the
Austro-Italian front. Rome claims
progress in the Secten region, in
the Bacherbach and Bodenbach
valleys and in the Monte Nero
zone. Vienna declares Italian at
tacks at various points along the
line failed.
Turkish reports on the Darda-
nelles operations declare attacks
by newly landed troops of the al
lies have been repulsed.
Germans Capture Fort
Berlin (via London )-One of
the outlying forts of Kovno, be-
tween the Niemen river and Gesia,
to the south of the main fortifica-
tion, has been captured by the
Germans, it was announced by
army headquarters. More than
240 cannon and 4,500 prisoners
were captured at Kovno, the state
ments adds. Three forts at Novo-
georgievsk also have been captur-
ed.

INSPECTING SCHOOL CHILDREN
AS REQUIRED BY STATE LAW
PASSED BY LAST LEGISLATURE

Once upon time the directors
of great corporation met in sol
emn conclave and after long de-
liberation, instructed their gener-
al manager to build a large addi-
tion to their already large plant.
They didn't reckon the expense,
and when the manager, man of
much resource, came to figure out
this cost, he discovered that the
directors hadn't provided any
special appropriation and that the
funds at his disposal were entirely
inadequate. SO what could the
poor man do?
The wise men that the people of
Florida elected to compose the
Legislature of 1915, with appar-
entity unlimited confidence in the
State Board of Health that it
could do anything and everything,
put upon it a new burden, which
resembles in many respects the
stunt that old Pharoah put over
the children of Israel, when he de-
manded the usual quota of brick,
but held out on the straw supply.
These wise legislators passed an
act to conserve the health and
lives of the school children of
Florida by providing that every
one of them shall undergo each
year a medical inspection and sub
sequent treatment, where neces-
sary, and providing further that
the management of this necessary
and important service shall be un-
der the supervision OF the State
Board of Health and that it shall
be paid for from the funds of the
Board, which already are taxed
to the limit to carry on the pres
ent work.
This act provides that the coun-
ty physician of each county, where
the county has such an officer,
shall be the medical Inspector of
the children of the county, and
where no such officer has been
named, the county commissioners
shall appoint one, but in either
case the inspector is to be paid by
the State Board of Health from
its funds. 1t provides, also, that
no one inspector shall be response
BILE for the examination of more
than $500 children.
There is no further proviso that
in cities Of more than 5000 popu-
lation, in which the medical in
spection of the school children
has already been established by
the authorities of such cities, this
law shall not be operative, provid-
ed that such city inspection shall
use the forms prescribed by the
State Board and shall report to it.
Now, this inspection of the
children includes two branches or
divisions of work, one to deter
mine their freedom from contagi-
Gus diseases, which if present,
would render them a menace to
each other and the community.
The other is to examine each pupil
for the existence of physical de-
fects, such as adenoids, incipient
consumption, defective hearing or
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-08-19

lSlght, the presence OF Dody lice
and other troubles which make
the child defective physically and
consequently mentally, and which
unless relieved become a handi.
cap through all his life.
Now the cost Of this service is
the problem that the State Health
Board is trying to solve. Opera,
Itions of the same nature under
the Russell Sage Foundation, GOV,
ering wide and long experience
have placed the cost per child OF
such examination to determine
the presence of contagious dis
ease, at fifteen cents. Thirty-five
cents additional, or fifty cents in
| all, is the cost of examination for
personal physical defects.
Almost the same figures are
reached by another method.
Such work necessarily must be
performed by a trained physician.
For one man to examine the full
quota of $500 children would re-
|quire his time to the exclusion of
his private practice, for four
months. Such service could hard
ly be bought for less than $4,000
a month and necessary expenses,
and it would be worth that sum.
This would amount practically to
fifty cents for each pupil, especial
ly in rural communities in which
the schools are widely scattered
over long distances.
The census of 1910, the latest
working basis for computation,
gave Florida 10000 school chill
dren, subject to the provisions of
this law. Doubtless the number
has vastly increased in the five
years elapsed, and it is probably
close to 100000 or more, at the
present time. But accepting the
number as 10000, ffty-two in
spectors would be required to per-
form the service, at a yearly sal
ary Of $4,000 and expenses, which
would bring the annual cost far
above $4,000, on the basis of far
less than the actual number of
children in the State.
Where is this money to come
from?
The work of the State Board is
Imported by an annual tax of one
half mill on all the assessable pro-
perty in Florida. This produced
last year not far from 10000,
and Florida makes no better in
vestiment of its revenues than that
which it spends for the conserva-
ton of its health.
The work of the Board and the
duties laid upon it by past legis-
latures, required all the funds
that are levied and raised, and to
cut the appropriation or greatly
to increase the demands upon it
with the present funds would be
to hamper the accomplishments of
the Board.
It's a perplexing problem, and
if you, Mr.. Taxpayer, were in the
shoes of the State Board of Health
what would you do about it,
