given cigar by a member Of Andas-

The object of their wrath is John

fatal TO the rah-rah spirit. That

arguments
Scientists tell us" he said. that
healthy mind depends largely on
healthy body--that the growth Of the
body should be apace with that of the
mind. Then why cast out the
coach? He is an instructor just as
much as professor.
Would Mr.. Hihben have a member

OF instructor? II looks just AS
rational to me. Athletics are a part
OF college life just as much an es-
sential as expert class instructors.

Growers Questions Answered
BY Mrs Prange, Department Manager,
Wilson G. Toomer Fertilizer Co,
Jacksonville, Fla.

Citrus Canker in Japan and Florida
Il see prominent speaker re.
Gently said that though citrus cank-
err was in Japan the people there do
not lose sleep worrying about it and
that the Japanese minister had never
even heard this of such disease.
What about this?"
Answer: The situation in Japan
is not comparable to that in Flori-
da The citrus industry of Japany
consists almost entirely of the pro
duction of Satsuma oangcs This
variety is practically immune to the
canker except where, as in this coun-
This resistance to eankcr attack is
sufficient to prevent material dam
age in the climatic conditions of
Japan therefore Japan as Il whole
knows very little indeed about the
canker.
Another very important difference
between Japan and Florida is the
climate Japan is very much colder
and very much drier, and bacterial
diseases need warmth and moisture
for their development. The citrus
fruit of Japan that is susceptible to
canker is seriously affected only in
occasional years, when they have eX-
ira warm, moist summers. During
these seasons the fruit of the pome-
los. which. though of the same fam
lily are not identical with our grape
fruit. are practically all destroyed,
but their being so few in number
and of no commercial Importance
cause this fact to be given little pub
lie notice especial as cold weather
prevents destruction of trees.
This difference of resistance to
diseases shown by different varieti $
and the Influences of different eli
matte conditions is very common TO
all students Of plant life. The chest
nut blight, which is doing such utl-
told damage all through the chestnut
regions. is of no particular conse-
qucnce i'm the country from which II
was introduced Tho great loss
from chestnut blight is due to the
variety of chestnut rtecs grown in
the United States.
We have before us the prospects
Of the great loss in citrus trees. not
only because of our varieties being
susceptible but also of our climatic
conditions. When il is understood
that the organism of canker is tiny
plant one can realize how much
faster this plant is going to grow and
multiply in a warm, moist climate
favorable TO all plant life than in a
climate that gives through a greater
part of the year a temperature so
low as to canse this plant to lie dor
mant and also with too little mois
ture to give favorable conditions for
its development.

Answer: Land underlaid with
mari does not need as much lime as
that without the mari. In fact.
many of the mari lands need no
lime at all. Mari is very irregular in
It's contents. running from around 20
to something like % per cent of car
donate of lime. and il also varies
greatly in the depth below the sur
face. Mari subsoil is excellent. but
where mari crops out in the surface

of actual plant food in the mari, but
