PEACHES COULD Be
MADE PROFITABLE
At SMALL COST

Peach production could be made
profitable in Florida if the trees were
properly protected. J. R. Watson,
entomologist to the University of
Florida experiment station, said re-
Gently that the grower who plants
peaches on good clean land could pro-
duce frst-class fruit with not more
than five sprayings a year.
The greatest peach enemies are
nematodes or root knot organisms,
borers, San Jose scale, curculio, and
brown rot. Mr.. Watson recommends
that trees be planted on new land or
land free of root knot. The nema-
tode is one of the most destructive en-
emies of peaches in Florida since #
attacks the trees before they bear and
prevents their making healthy growth.
Nursery trees should be examined
carefully and if one shows root knot
infestation, the whole lot should be
refused. Mulching will help to retard
the development of the disease.
San Jose scale is also a serious en-
envy, but timely spraying and the en-
enlargement of parasitic fungi will
eliminate it. One spraying with lime
sulfur and one with fungi should
keep this pest in control. Two or
three sprayings for brown rot and
curculio should control them.
Peaches have not been generally
profitable in Florida because farmers
have not followed systematic spray
ing to control enemies and because
they have not known how to control
or avoid root knot. Mr. Watson has
worked out plan fer controlling this
organism in seedbeds and to limited
extent in intensively cultivated truck
fields, but this method is probably not
yet practical for pee ches.

A Berlin Dispatch Places Total Loss
During the War of Entente
Powers at 15,100,OOO
=

The fate of Bucharest apparently is
sealed. The Teutonic, advance towards
it is going on unchecked, Rumanian
attempts to stop it having been I'M
successful, says the Russian official
statement
Petrograd also mentions Ploesci,
thirty-five miles north of Bucharest,
as another point in the direction of
which the invading armies are moving
without effective opposition. Ploesci
is on the line of the only railroad road
of retreat for the Rumanians operat-
ing in the vicinity Of Bucharest.
The threat to Ploesci seemingly
means, the speedy evacuation of Blu
|esfrafgst if the Rumanians hope to
make an effective retreat over the
railroad line towards Moldavia. On
the south of the capital field Marshal
won Mackensen's Danube army was
reported yesterday within twelve
miles of the city. The Rumanian
forces opposing the Teutonic advance
from the west is declared by Berlin to
have been decisively defeated on the
Argchu. On the northwest the Aus
tro-German armies pushing from the
mountain passes are aiding materially
in the effort to complete the envelop-
ing process and break through to the
Rumanian line of retreat.
On the Macedonian front the Ser
bans are following up their victory in
the Grunichte region and have captur-
ed the village of Stravina, three miles
north of Grunishte, according to a
Serbian official statement. The Bull
garians are retreating northward ap-
parently to Novik, north Of Stravinia.

WARN BUYERS OF BALED HAY

Washington, D. C.--The department
of agriculture is Investigating the
practice Of some shippers of hay of
veneering or facing the bales. Veneer
ing consists in feeding to the baling
machine an occasional forkful of hay
that is of higher grade than the bulk
of the lot being baled, and manipulat-
ing the forkful in such a way that the
high grade hay covers the outside of
the bale, making the bale appear to
contain better hay than it actually
does contain. The National Hay asso-
citation has requested the department
of agriculture to cooperate with it in
trying to eliminate this practice be-
lieved to be dishonest. Buyers of baled
hay are warned to be on the lookout
for this practice in order to avoid ac-
cepting on a cursory examination a
lower grade of. hay than they intend
to- purchase.

MOTHER NATURE
NEVER SLEEPS j.
WORKS 24.HOURS

The people of Florida have the best
opportunity to enrich themselves that
any people ever had and at the same
time benefit others.
There is an undoubted shortage. of
foodstuff crops throughout the coun-
try and along next March foodstuffs,
such as Florida produces, will be in
demand, at good prices everywhere
except in favored Florida.
The people of the East, North, West
and much of the South will need the
products of Florida and they have the
money to pay for them. There has
been plenty of work at good wages,
everybody has been making money.
They aret the people who like to have
plenty about them. They have become
so accustomed to high prices that they
will willingly pay better prices for
Florida products than they ever did
before.
Yes, now is Florida's opportunity.
How are you going to meet it-sit III
a comfortable chair and tell the other
fellow how to do it; write piece for
the paper telling what you don't
know; get your society or club togeth-
err and pass resolutions that whereas
such and such conditions exist there
fore be it resolved we do so and so?
Then go your way and forget all
about it. That is the way Floridians
meet their opportunities. That is one
of the reasons why Florida, richly en-
dowed by nature in climate, soil and
position, lags along towards the tail
end in the procession of states.
Get busy. Get to work to prepare
to have crop ready for the market
! when the market needs it. If you are
otherwise engaged, help somebody else
with your money or credit to enlarge
his output. All about Jacksonville
there is plenty of tillable land that is
not being titled, but can be made
ready without much cost or trouble.
Of course it will require work; you
will have to exert yourself, but think
it's no eight-hour-aday Job. Mother
Nature never sleeps; she is on the job
% hours and 60 minutes in each day.
But Mother Nature is a considerable
old soul; she knows that humanity IS
feeble and frail, but she does expect
those who expect her to aid them to
be up and doing with heart for any
fate. Learn to labor and to wait

PANAMANs FIND U. s. EASY
Joint Land Boards Unite in PIucking
Us, Says GoethaIs.

Us, Says GoethaIs.
Washington. - The liberality of va
rious joint land commissions in set
thing claims for property taken in the
canal zone, has robbed the United
States of millions of dollars, General
Goethals Saturday told the house in
terstate commerce committee in urg-
ing the passage of the Adamson bill
to force the commission to settle for
lands on the basis Of their value when
the treaty was entered into with Pan
anna in 1903, rather than their increas-
ed value, as has been the custom.
All Of the land in the 10-mile strip
along the canal subject to claims
would not be worth more than $1,000
600 at it's 1903 value, the general said,
but it is likely to cost $17,0OO,OOO or
$18,000,000 at the rates which have
been paid.
The joint commission consisted of
two Panamans and two Americans.
In addition to forcing settlements
on the 1903 valuation the Adamson
bill would terminate the joint COM
mission six months after the bill
passed. Power of settlement will be
vested in the Panama Railroad COM
pany but owners would be given the
right to appeal to the canal zone gov
ernor.
