pagation under natural conditions"
declared Assistant Surgeon General w.
G. Rucker of the United States Public
Health Service before the American
Medical Association here today. In
paper read before the section on Pre-
yentitive and Public Health, on the
subject of "The Relation of Rodent
Plague to Human Infection
DR.. Rucker reviewed the reports of
plague in the lower animals, and
stated that while many different spe
cies had been thought at one time or
another to suffer from the disease,
many of the reports were not con-
firmed by convincing experimental ev-
idence. Even the kangaroo was dis
cussed and it was declared that the
prarie dog was susceptible to the dis
ease. but that it had never been found
among them in nature. Rodents. par
ticularly rats and ground squirrels,
were shown to be carriers Of the dis
ease in nature, and even the Putor-
ius foetidus, which is the parlor name
for skunk, was incriminated
DR.. Rucker fully discussed rat ex-
| termination methods and declared that
rat-proofing of buildings used by man
for any purpose whatsoever was the
best insurance against bubonic plague
"In the presence of an epidemic every
measure which will protect man
should be taken" said Dr. Rucker
Among these is immuization against
the disease, but this is Of doubtful
practicability in American cities. II
could never be made mandatory, and
| those persons who would volunteer
for such incubation GO not form the
class which is most liable to receive
the infection" The results recently
achieved by New Orleans in eradicat-
ing the disease excited much favorable

War Produces
Many Lunatics
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, June 25.-Sir James
Chichton-Browne, who stands in the
forefront of English authorities on
mental and nervous diseases, says
that one of the saddest results of
the war will be a great increase in
the number of lunatics.
Addressing the annual meeting of
the Asylum Workers association, he
said:
Much of the aftermath of war will
find its way into asylums. The
enormous number of cranial injuries
will undoubtedly lead to much mental
impairment. The large number of
cases of shock to the nerves and
oyerstrain will cause much neuras
thenia and other disorders. There has
been throughout the whole country
immeasurable sorrow and bereave-
ment, which in many cases will deep

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25.-The
employment of full-time health officers
which has been made the keystone Of
the sanitary policy of several states,
has not fully met the health needs of
the time, according to Assistant Sur
geon General ]. w. Kerr of the United
States Public Health Service, in an
address on the subject of The Need of
Full Time Health officers at the Am
erican Medical Association meeting
here today.
I'VE need to strengthen the purely
local health organizations if public
health work is to progress as it
should" he said. "The usefulness of
full time health officers employed by
the state must depend to a great ex-
tent on the existence of efficient local
machinery with which they may
work.
''The New York law requires that
every city, town or village, shall ap-
point a competent physician to be a
local health officer with a four-year
term of Office, whose compensation in
municipalities having a population of
eight thousand inhabitants or less
shall not be less than ten cents per
capita. In North Carolina there are
now not less than ten full time county
health officers. In Massachusetts sew

Most of this constitutional weakness

The cities produce some of the best

exceptional men who have opportun-

soon becomes the physical inferior of
his sturdy brother in the country.

Corn VS.
Apples
Former Governor Gilchrist Tangles
Corn Farmers Ideas.

Former Governor Gilchrist is al
ways ready with the repartee, espec-
tally if the subject has to do with
the State of his early adoption.
Here's an instance:
Sometime ago a tourist from
Illinois in my presence, was running
down the soil here. L asked him
what was principally raised in his
country. He said corn. asked
how many bushels per acre. He said
about fifty, weighing about fifty-six
pounds to the bushel, or about one
ton and a half (short tom to the
acre. I said go down this street to
the nearest or fartherest pinery.
You will find that $4,000 or more
are planted to the acre. Returning,
stop at the express office, where you
will see some crates of pineapples
ready for shipment. On each box
the number of apples is marked the
crate weighing about eighty pounds.
You will find the average today or
any other day to be about sixteen
to the crate, five pounds each, about
thirty short tons to the acre-call
it half. This land will not raise
much corn; your land will not raise
any pineapples. Your land will
raise about one and a half tons Of
corn to the acre; ours call it fifteen
tons of pineapples. Your land will
produce fifty bushels Of corn to the
acre. worth $40 to $50. The land
you are cursing out will produce

7O5 Cars OF
Citrus Fruit
Shipped last Week

A letter from Jacksonville says
that the Florida citrus crop still
continues to move freely, as EOS
cars were shipped last week, or 33
cars more than the week previous
The total shipments to date since
September Is, 1914, are 24,159 cars.
Last week'e movement consisted of
404 cars of grapefruit and 3O1 cars
of oranges.
A large percentage of the oranges
now leaving the state are of the VAL
encia variety. They are of a fine
guilty and as this variety will hang
on the tree late in the season be-
fore they lose their juice the grow
ers are not anxious at the present
rising condition of the market to
rush their fruit to market and ship
ments are moving gradually. Both
the oranges and grapefruit market
continues to remain strong and the
demand fully equals the supply that
is now moving.
1t is estimated that there still re-
mains in the state from 100000 to
100000 boxes of citrus fruit. 1T is
believed by those interested in the
deal that for the rest of the sason
there will be fair prices and the
shipments out of the state will
about equal the demand.
The orange bloom is very heavy
throughout the state. Some growers
state that it the heaviest bloom in
years and up to the present time it
is sticking; there is every prospect
that trees will hold the heavy
bloom. The grapefruit bloom does
not appear as heavy as the orange
but there is a prospect of large
grapefruit crop. The groves have
put on a fine growth both as to
foliage and wood, the growth not
being equaled in years. The ma
jority of the groves throughout the
state are in better shape than ever

HIGHWAY ROUTE MUCH
DISCUSSED.
Smith Gives Reasons Why 1t
Should Center the State

The Dixie Highway from Chi
cago to Miami is rapidly mater
ializing and it is very important
that it should be put in the right
place in order to benefit the
whole state.
The great host of tourists and
home seekers who will soon be
coming over it into Florida are
largely interested in agricultural
matters and while the route
contemplated should run to
Jacksonville from Live Oak,
where it enters the state. the
main line should run south by
way of Lake City, Gainesville,
Ocala, Brooksville, Dade City,
Plant City, Lakeland, Barlow,
Fort Meade and thence to Area
dia and from there to Fl, Pierce
and on down, the East Coast to
Miami.
There should be a spur from
Arcadia to Fort Myers and this
and the cross highways would
cover all the important farming
and fruit sections of the State.
At Gainesville as a junction
there are three other important
roads running to the East Coast
and at Brooksville three import
ant roads to Tarpon Springs,
Tampa and St. Petersburg and
at Lakeland the great cross high
way fro mDaytona to Tampa
will intersect it, and all the the
central cities will connect with
each other $50 anybody can go
any where"

great mistake if they carry it on

down the East Coast to Miami

SPOTTING NOTES

there are events scheduled of more
than ordinary Importance. On the
Pacific coast the Panama-Paeific
open golf championship will be won
weather permitting and the EXPOSE
ton polo tournament will end at
Annapolis the United States Naval
Academy crews will cross oars with
the University of Pennsylvania oars
men while amateur trap shooters
from all parts of the country will
be competing for the amateur cham
pionship title at New York.
Final decision on the part of a
number of the leading English pro-
fessional golfers relative to partici-
pating in the United States open
championship is expected within the
next few days. Edward Ray and
Harry Vardon have already an
nounced their intention of Compel
ing in the open title tournament at
Baltusrol June 1918. George Dun
can, James Baird and j. H. Taylor
have intimated that they will make
the trip to the States and should all
five compete in the open event it
will prove one of the few real in
ternational contests of the year.
These five players between them
have won the English open cham
pionship seventeen times in the past
twenty-one years. Vardon has cap
tured the title six times, Taylor five
times, Baird five times and Ray
once. Vardon also won the United
States open in 1900 when the title
tourney was played at the Chicago
Golf Club at Wheaton, Ill In 1913
Ray and Vardon tied with Francis
Ouimet in the final round at Brook
line, Mass, being defeated in the
play-off by the youthful American
golfer after one of the most sensa-
tional matches ever played on an
American course. Their participa-
tion in the United States champion
ship would lift that event to the in
ternational plane held by the 1918
tournament when the leading pro-
fessionals of England and France
met the best American amateurs and
professionals at Brookline, Mass.

The proposed tour of Australasia
by the Leland Stanford University
baseball team is likely to be aban-
doned for the coming year at least.
Advices from Sydney state that ow-
ing to the war such a trip would
prove financial failure. The Cali
fornia collegians outlined a sched-
ule providing for stay of some
thirty odd days in Australia with
the possibility of a side trip to New
Zealand. The New South Wales
Baseball Association did not, how
ever, feel that conditions warranted
