Avocado Culture

The varieties of avocadoes
known as Mexican, withstand
winter conditions as far north as
GAINESVILLE. Protected specimens
of the West Indian Central A
merican types have fruited as far
north as Daytona on the East
Coast and Pinellas County on the
West Coast. The most extern
Slve commercial orchards are be-
ing planted in the Biscayne Bay
and CalOOsahatchee River regions.
Seedlings of the favorite kinds
are likely to be killed to the
ground by frost. Bearing trees
are not likely to be killed by a
temperature of 25 degrees unless
it is of several hours duration.
The range of soil that may be
employed for successful avocado
culture is much wider than that
for citrus culture. The avocado
however, takes very kindly to the
best soils that can be obtained.
The best citrus soils will be found
to be among the best for avocado.
After the site has been chosen,
clearing should be done in the
usual way. All debris should be
removed from the field and the

face. According to the experts,
the cost of creosoted wood-block
floors averages about $3.50 per
square yard for the blocks alone
and about $2.40 per square yard
for the completed floor.
For best results these floors
should be laid under competent
supervision, for unless certain
fundamental rules are followed
trouble is very liable to enSue
Most of the trouble is caused by
the swelling or the shrinking Of
the wood, due to changes in con-
tent of moisture, difficulties which
may be guarded against, however,
by carefully following the most
approved methods.

Treated Wood Block Flooring

Washington - Creosoted wood
blocks, already extensively used
as paving material for city
streets, have been coming into use
as flooring for the last four or
five years, according to the For.
est Service. It's durability,
noiselcssness under heavy traffic,
and sanitary properties are its
chief advantages for paving and
also give it special value for max
i ing floors, especially for use
where heavy trucking, the NOV
ing of heavy machinery, or other
severe use makes the maintenance
of floors a serious problem. It's
rather high cost is its chief dis
advantage.
Wood block is now widely used
for flooring in factories, ware
houses, machine shops, foundries,
various types of platforms,
wharves, and docks, and for such
miscellaneous purposes as hotel
kitchens, hospitals, laundries, and
slaughter houses. Possibly one
Of the oldest of these uses is for
the floors of wild animal cages
and runways. Notwithstanding
the recent increase in the use of
wood block for these purposes, it
is believed that the growth of this
industry will be even more rapid
in the future. These floors are
well liked by the workmen be-
cause they are easy on the feet.
Most Of the blocks for these
floors are now made of southern
yellow pine. Hemlock, larch,
Douglas fir, black gum, beech and
maple are also used. The blocks
are sawed from long sticks of
timber and are treated in huge
steel cylinders from 6 to 7 feet in
diameter and 100 feet or more in
length. Creosote oil is run into
the cylinders and pressure is then
applied to force it into the wood.
The oil is a product obtained in
the manufacture of coke from
coal and it's purpose is to prevent
decay of the wood, and also to
prevent shrinking and swelling of
the floor after it is laid.
The blocks are laid with the
grain vertical, so that the most
wear-reSistant surface is exposed,
and usually on a concrete founda-
ton. The joints or cracks be-
tween the blocks are then filled
with hot paving pitch or asphalt
which binds the many separate
pieces into one continuous sur

boris acts or his neglects, and if
he wont do his duty voluntarily,
we can't help ourselves excepting
through the enforcement of law.
But the trouble is that municipal
authority in majority of Flor.
da cities, has not been awakened
to the fact that community health
is more important than private
interests or selfishness or greed.
Public sentiment must bring a.
bout the enactment Of proper
protective and preventive laws,
and public sentiment must en-
force such enactment before pub
lie health can be conserved in this
direction. There are instances in
Florida municipalities, and the
largest city in the state is one of
them, where the effort to secure
such legislative protection have
been thwarted by the opposition
of interest that would be affect
ed-affected through their pocket
books-if stable screening were
to be made compulsory. The in
huence was sufficient to prevent
placing the much needed laws OH
the statute books, and the time
was still further postponed when
Jacksonville citizens might be
protected from the fly.
Until the public mind can be
aroused to demand help through
its law makers, there remains the
necessity for proper and effectual
screening Of ZONES against the
fly. 1t is for the individual to do
his duty to protect himself and
his near neighbors, and to do his
part to hasten the time when sell
fshneSs will not control munich
pal authority.-State Board of
Health Bulletin.

Whitefy Control Necessitates
Thorough Spraying

Spraying for whitehy is espec-
tally important this year on ac-
count of the dry weather which
will hinder the growth of con-
trolling fungi and on account of
the rulings of the Plant Board a.
gainst shipping them from citrus
groves. Thorough, systematic
spraying will control the insects,
and no grower should hesitate to
do such spraying. Spraying will
be more effective if growers in a
neighborhood will cooperate and
cover every host plant of the in
sect III the community.
The following formula which is
the newest offered by w. w.
Yothers Of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture is recon-
mended by j. r. Watson, entomo-
Iogist to the University of Florida
Experiment Station: two gallons
Of paraffin oil "a or 2S Baume; /
gallon of water; 2 pounds of cauS-
tic fish oil soap or two bars of
cheap laundry soap. Heat this
mixture TO boiling and then run
through a hand pump two or
three times or until complete e.
mulsiOn is obtained. Make up to
200 gallons.
The trees should be sprayed
thoroughly. The larvae of the
whitcfy will be found on the I'M
der side of the leaves and the
spray should be applied to that
side, There is no necessity for
spraying the trunk and bark I'M
less there is something on them
that should be killed.
1t must be remembered that
the chinaberry, California privet
and some others, as we'll as citrus
trees, are host plants to the in
sect. Unless there is some rea.
son for keeping these they should
be destroyed. Otherwise they
should be sprayed with the citrus

All the boys who attended the
big picnic and speaking at Char
lotte Harbor Saturday report a
great time, and can not say too
much concerning the hospitality
of the good people of this comm
nifty.
After a hearty address of well
come delivered by Mr.. T, A.
Stephens and responded to by the
Rev. T. Fl. Sistrunk, the big
crowd, numbering several hun
bred, partook of sumptuous dim
ner that had been prepared by
the citizens of this community.
The supply was abundant, and of
such variety as to cause all who
attended to speak in the highest
praise of the Charlotte Harbor
people as good feeders.
The afternoon was turned over
to the candidates, and they made
the woods resound with such ora
tory as probably had not been
heard in this little burg for many
a day.

present, and each cheerfully re-
sponded as his name was called:

Flies

Flies-the everyday kind that
swarm about us in clouds as dense
as we viii permit-used to be re-
garded merely as nuisances that
we had to endure because We
couldn't help ourselves
But science took up the matter
and showed that flies were an un-
suspected cause of lot Of trOub
les that no one had been able to
account for. 1t discovered that
they are filthy beyond any de-
scription that could be put in
print and get by the inspectors of
the United States Mail Service
In comparison, the pig and chick
en- and buZzard are models of
cleanliness, for they delight in
morsels that these" items of crea-
ton would turn from. Worse
than that, they carry with them,
on their feet and bodies, those
microscopic germs of disease that
breed in filth and spread contag-
Jon when they come into contact
with humans.
And yet, we-most OF us-com-
placently tolerate these pests; we
permit them to breed and multi
ply, to infest our homes, to light
on the food we eat and on the
skins OF the babies, and we make
only feeble protest by screening
against them, and not by destroy
ing their breeding places.
Ninety-tve per cent. of all the
cases OF typhoid fever originate
through insect infection, and
most OF them through flies. We
dread the visitation of the dis
ease, but we are indifferent to
the probable cause. Recent in
vestigation seems to indicate that
infant paralysis, which is increas-
ing in the United States with a
farming rapidity, is caused by |
infection, and other
most serious ailments are traced |
III part at least, to the same
source.
Science usually finds remedy |
for most human troubles. Its
searchhghts in these modern
times are being turned more and
1aore to prevent these troubles by
discovering their sources and fl
nally by influencing men and wo-
men to apply them to the preven-
ton Of disease. And it seems
that the matter OF education is
the most difficult problem of all.
The fly nuisance can be remov-
ed. At least, it can be so con-
trolled as to lose the larger part
OF its threatening danger. This
Is no Utopian dream. It's dem
fact. Destroy the breed
ing places and you will destroy
the fly, and the destruction of the
ny WIZ I'VE complete III proportion

the breeding places are eliminat-

che house fly breeds in stable
manure, therefore, this necessary
accompaniment of the stable
should be screened to keep the fly
from escaping. The stable refuse
should be removed under screen
or cover and disposed Of as soon
az possible. Flies also breed in
garbage, and and the blue bottle
fly has its origin in other filth.
