Caution to Citrus Growers

Mr., Ed. l.. Wartmann of Citra,
asked the Star to insert little no.
tice of caution in the Star to the
growers Of citrus trees and nur-
sery stock. The law relating to
the handling or moving of citrus
trees is very strict and but little
understood. 1t is against the law
to move citrus tree or any nur-
sery stock from one district, coun-
ty or state into another, or even
cross a public road; or to trans
port or move any bud wood or
leaves without first having same
inspected. Amy information ON
The matter can be obtained by ad-
dressing the superintendent of
plant industry, state agricultural
experiment station, Gainesville
Florida, which every citrus grow
er or nurseryman should do to a.
void possible trouble. The law is
for the protection of the citrus
growers themselves, lest some in
fected trees be moved and dis
eases spread. -Ocala Star

The case of David j. Hobbs a.
gainst the A. c. l.. Railroad which
was reversed by the supreme
court will be tried again during
the first week of May at Arcadia.
Mr.. Hobbs recovered a verdict of
81 10000 which was thought cx-
ceSsive by the court of last resort
but it is evident that the Judges
did not take into consideration
the severe personal injuries which
he received at the time he was
run down by the train. Mr. Hobbs
ankle has not entirely healed, the
muscles and tendons being weak
and sensitive, making him some
what lame and at times causing
severe pains. 1t is believed that
he will recover a much larger YER
