Seeded Sterilization Necessary
For Healthy Plants

Damping off probably gives
more trouble than any other seed
bed disease. Prevention is the
best method of control. If the
old seedbeds are effected with the
trouble, DR.. G. d. Sherbakoff asso-
ciate plant pathologist to the Uni
versity of Florida Experiment
Station, recommends that the beds
be made on new land, If new
land is not available the soil Of
the old beds must be sterilized.
The formalin method is per-
haps the most practicable for the
average grower
After the seedbeds are prepared
for sowing they are drenched
with formalin solution of the
strength l part formalin to so
parts water, and applied at the
rate of 2 quarts to l square foot of
seedbed surface. The beds are

College of Agriculture Unable to
Supply Men for Positions Open

evil you kindly place my re-
quest on file so that should you
have any applications by such
young men you can Immediately
put me in touch with them?'
That is the way an alumnus of the
University of Florida closes let
ter to w. l., Floyd, assistant dean
of the College of Agriculture, af.
ter he was informed that no men
were available to accept a posi-.
ton he had offered. That state.
ment is of greatest Importance to
the high school graduate who is
about to adopt a profession.
Requests come in almost every
mail for men to take charge of
farms or to accept other agricul-
tural positions. The demand for
men trained in agriculture is al
most unlimited and the supply of
men to take such positions is by
no means equal to it. AS a rule,
graduates of the University of
Florida College of Agriculture
find positions in advance of leav-
lng school Many of them pre-
fer to farm for themselves but
those who care to take positions
with other people find ready en-
ployment.
The demand will be larger than
the supply for several wears, be-
cause the field for trained men is
becoming broader and broader.
New work and new opportunities
are developing so rapidly that the
field is almost limitless. Exten-
sion work is almost in its infancy.
Every county and every commune
ty in the United States will de-
mand a man trained in some
branch of agriculture before many
years. Agriculture high schools
are springing up everywhere.
Only one thing will hold them
back-the lack of men.
Agriculture is becoming one of
the most widely specialized of all
professions. New branches of
specialization are developing con-
'stantly, far more rapidly than
men can be trained to take up the
work.

Clean Trees And Bright Fruit
Keynote Of Citrus Seminar

Clean trees and bright fruit
cannot abide with citrus diseases
and pests. Two or three years a
go a new disease threw growers
| into a panic. Certainly there
was cause for alarm, but in many
cases those same growers accept
the old diseases and pests as a
matter of course and allow them
to go on draining their trees and
marking their fruit. Whether
the cause is indifference or inabil-
ity to cope with their troubles,
the results are the same. Thou
sands of dollars are lost annually,
Indications are that the losses
will be heavier from unclean trees
and marked fruit. This is not a
result of more severe attacks by
diseases and insects but a result
of the market s revolt. People
want clean fruit and dealers who
cater to them discriminate against
unclean fruit. The market will
take care of indifference, but en-
lightenment is the only cure for
those who are willing and unable
to produce good fruit.
As result of these demands of
the market, the Citrus Seminar at
the University of Florida, October
II to 20 inclusive, will offer
of demonstrations and ex-
hibits valuable to growers. A
new phase of the Seminar will be
demonstrations and exhibits of
spraying machinery. R. E. Grand
Ter, of the College of Engineering,
will give lectures and demonstra-
tions on the use of gasolene and

then covered for "a hours with
sacks or canvass. After this the
bed is aired and worked to facil-
itate the evaporation of the for
malin. About ten days or two
weeks will be required for the
formalin to evaporate sufficiently
so that the seed may be sown in
the treated soil.
Steam sterilization by the in
verted pan method is more effic-
lent because it kills the nematode
that causes root-knot, all kinds of
weeds, and the beds can be plant
ed as soon as the soil has cooled.
Particulars concerning it may be
had by application to the Expert
ment Station, Gainesville.
An APPLICATION of bordeaux mix
ture or ammoniacal solution Of
copper carbonate heavy enough to
cover soil surface will also help to
retard the spread of the damping
off fungus.

TOO DANGEROUS TO OVER,
LOOK
Punta Gorda People Will Do Well
to Heed the Warning

To have good health, the digest
ton, heart lungs and kidneys
must work perfectly. When there
is any thing wrong with the di-
gestion heart or lungs, a very no.
ticeable pain or distress gives
prompt warning. Kidney trouble
is more easily overlooked, how
ever, and too often gains a long
start. But kidney trouble does
give early signs, and headaches,
backache, dizzy spells, rheumatic
pains, too frequent, Scanty or
painful urination should not be
neglected. When these warnings
appear, use Doan'S Kidney Pills,

recommended kidney remedy. As
sist the medicine by taking things
easier, reducing the diet and the

of kidney disease may be avoided.

Fifty Percent of Meat Consumed
in Florida is Imported

More than fifty percent of the
meat consumed in Florida is i'm
ported from other states says
DR.. A II. Logan veterinary field a.
gent for the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, who is
stationed at the University of
Florida. This is reflection on
somebody's thrift, and it is not the
grocers and butchers.
Certainly a state so well adapt
ed to meat production should pro-
duce at least what is consumed
by its people No state can grow
greater variety of crops for ami
mai production than Florida Pas
lures make cheap meat and pas
lures eau be had all year. The
cost of wintering animals is low
er here than in any other part of
the country both on account Of
the cheap feed and on account of
the mild winters. With these adj
vantages and the added advantage
es of freight rates from the north,
the most timid farmer should not
hesitate to grow livestock.
Owing to the mild winters meat
is hard to keep AS soon as a cool
spell comes everybody kills hogs.
The result is a glutted market.
The farmer must sell his carcasses
at a reduced price. Naturally he
is disguised with production. A
little later he buys meat for
double the price he sold his own.
DR.. Logan recommends local
storage plants. Animals could
then be slaughtered and placed in
storage until the market assumed
normal conditions. If necessary
the plant could issue part pay
ment on the carcasSeS to the farm
ers who had to have cash. No at
tempt should be made to sell in
competition with packing houses.
The operations of the storage
plant should be confined to the To-
cal field Later curing equip
ment could be added as conditions
justified.
