Sweet Potato Varieties Should
Not be Mixed

All varieties of sweet potatoes
do not mature at the same time.
Farmers who have not had e.
noungh vines to plant their crop
have been in the habit of obtain
ing additional ones from their
neighbors. Frequently they mix
varieties and as a result the pota-
toes do not mature at the same
time.
Some will not be mature at dig
ging time and as a result they will
spoil In storage. c. X. McQuar-
RE, state agent for the University
of Florida Extension Division. re-
minds farmers that there is a
great loss in storage every year
from immature potatoes. Furth-
ermore, the potatoes cannot be
standardized as long as varieties
are mixed. If vines must be OBJ
tanned from different sources,
they should all be of the same
variety.

Prune for Melanose in June and
July

The fungus wnich causes mel
anose of citrus trees lives over
winter in the dead wood. from
the time the bloom drops to the
early part of August the fruit is
susceptible to attack from the
fruiting bodies of this fungus
which lie in the dead wood.
The best method of control is
pruning. If the dead wood is cut
out of the grove regularly the
damage will be greatly lessened.
During June and probably July
is the best time for summer prun-
ing. Winter, when the trees arc
nearly dormant, is the best prun-
ing season, but the grower to e.
Intimate risks should prune also
in summer if there is dead wood
or melanose in his grove.
H, E. Stevens, plant pathologist
to the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, cites some re-
suits obtained by the Station in
one of the cooperative expert
ments. The percentages of the
different grades of fruit on the
check plots which have not been
pruned for melanose were !:
brights, none; seconds, 62 per
cent; russets, SO per cent. On the
plots which have been pruned
each year in June the percentages
were: brights, 81 per cent; sec
onds, 81 per cent; rusScts, II
per cent. The grower can Judge
for himself whether it will pay to
pruna.

FARM AND GROVE I'm FLORIDA
Agricultural News University of Florida
Soil Needs Protection in Summer

Cover crops were originated tt
protect the land and to conserve
fertility. In the northern states
where crops grow during the sum
mar there is no necessity for q
cover. Consequently, northern
! farmers sow winter bower crops
The Florida farmer iieeds both
summer and winter covers. OF
the two the summer crop is the
more important, because Florida
land is usually idle betWeen the
spring and fall crops
That is the time when it should
be occupied, because the soil or
ganisms are most active at that
time, the sun is hottest, the rains
are heaviest. The sun bakes the
land and warns it for the soil or
ganisms which break down the
plant food, and the rains leach it
away, Some crop should be
grown on the land to conserve the
fertility and to protect it from
the sun.
C. K. McQuarrie, state agent
for the University of Florida Elk
tension Division, suggests several
crops that would be good for sum-
mer covers. He places velvet
beans first because they make a
large growth, cover the land and
equalize the rainfall. A seed
crop should not be expected from
velvet beans if they are sown late
The vines turned under for a fall
crop will be more valuable than
the seed anyway.
Cowpeas are also good. Some
of the heavy vining varieties such
as the whippoorwill, brabham or
clay, should be sown. Soy beans
will be found satisfactory for
Aatwoods land. They should be
sown thickly. The soy bean is
one of the quickest legumes and
can be sown as late as August !.
Peanuts is a favorite legume to
follow spring crops. They may
be sown as late as August /, but
the best time is from June Is to
July Is. They will be out of the
way by September or October.
Beggarweed is also good and will
give hay crop as well as protect
and improve the land. 1t should
be sown where the last season
crop was not sufficient to reseed.
The hay is equal or superior to
any other that may be grown in
the state.

Manure Makes Best Sweet Potato
Fertilizer

1t is hard to beat stable manure
as a fertilizer There is none bet
ter for sweet potatoes, according
to G. K, McQuarrie, state agent
for the University of Florida Elk
tension Division. 1t should be
well decomposed, however, before
it is applied,
Run burrows four feet apart
with a middle buster if one is a
valuable. The manure should be
spread in these burrows at the
rate of about 5 tons to the acre.
Two burrows of soil are thrown
on top of the manure and about
400 pounds of acid phosphate
should be put on this. A final
two burrows on top of the phos-
phate finishes the bed. If balk is
left between the beds it can be
broken at the first cultivation.

1t is Time to Prune for Withartip

Withertip is in practically ev-
cry citrus grove in the state.
Trees that are weakened from ov-
erbearing, lack of food, drouth,
or any other cause are apt to be
attacked. The disease not only
attacks the vegetative portions of
the tree, but it causes anthracnose
Spotting of the fruit. The fun
gus which causes withertip fruits
on dead wood, and consequently
the presence of dead wood in the
grove is dangerous.
IL. E. Stevens, plant pathologist
to the University of Florida Ex-
pertinent Station, recommends
pruning as a precautionary
measure against the disease. June
and probably July are the best
summer months to do this prun-
ing. Injury from pruning at this
time is less likely to occur. Of
course the best time to prune is
when the tree is dormant, but if
the disease is in the grove the
grower cannot afford to wait.
All dead and diseased wood
should be taken out. In bad cases
it will be necessary to sacrifice
bearing wood. Trees which have
been pruned severely need extra
care, and it may not be amiss to
apply fertilizers to stimulate
growth.
No stubs should be left where
"a branch is cut. Stubs will not
heal well and will eventually
leave dead tissue open to infec-
ton which will give the fungus a
chance to fruit again. The cut
should be made clean, and paral-
lei with the long axis of the sup
porting branch. This will make
a larger wound than if the cut is
made across the pruned branch,
but it will heal sooner and be less
likely to become diseased. All
large wounds should be painted
with a good antiseptic, such as
white lead paint or carbolineum,
to protect the surface while it is
healing.

Citrus Fruit Condition Promises
Short Crop

The citrus crop probably will
be short this year if the present
condition is an index. G. G. Hare,
field agent for the United States
Bureau of Crop Estimates, who is
stationed at the University of
Florida, calls attention to the con-
dition of the crops as estimated
by the Bureau for June /. Citrus
is given at IS per cent. of normal
and bloom scattered. This is two
per cent. lower than it was last
month.
The bloom has been scattered
and drawn out over the whole
spring. Some groves that start
ed blooming in January are still
blooming. The fruit represents
all stages from blooming to the
size of a hen egg or larger. Some
growers think that the late bloom
will set fruit and some think that
it will not. Others are of the o.
pinion that the fruit will ripen
through a long period and neces-
state several pickings. Still 9th
ers believe that the late fruit will
develop rapidly and not cause
much trouble.
f. B. Waite, manager of the
Manatee Fruit Company of Pal
netto, reports that similar condi-
ions obtained about thirteen
years ago. The fruit which set
hat year ripened, but several
1ickings were required.

because of theunprecedented hot
winds which blew July 8 and 4.
One half of the summer crop had
been gathered before the heat
wave came, but that which would
have been gathered in July, Au-
gust and September was largely
destroyed. Consul Shank estim-
ates that the crop of 1867 will
probably not amount to more
than half a normal one. This
means that the price of lemons is
going up this fall. and we will
hear Democratic stump speakers
declaring that the reduction in
the duty on lemons increased the
price to the California producer,
just as they talked about free
wool and the increased price.

Democrats profess supreme
confidence in their ability to re-
elect the Presldent-or, perhaps,
better phrased, in the ability of
the President to re-elect himself.
Yet when the topic is taken ur
in detail, state by state, there
are many essential elements lack =
ing to a successful computation.
They expect no electoral votes in
New England. They doubt if
tn ~ can carry New York. They
know that they cannot carry
Illinois or Ohio and that the chan
ces are against them in Indiana.
There is an axiom in mathemat-
les that the whole is equal to the
sum of its parts-yet Democratic
leaders who contend that they
can carry the country admit that
they cannot carry thestates which
are most necessary to national
victory.

For three months before the
war began, the trade balance was
against the United States. That
is to say, we were buying from
other countries more goods than
we were selling to them. In ad,
dition to that, our tourists were
spending hundreds of millions
annually abroad and we were
spending other millions as inter-
est on American bonds and Givi-
dends on American stock held in
other countries. With the out
break of the war, the tiGe turned
and now the total trade balance
in our favor has amounted to ov-
er $4,000, 100000. Our tourists
are necessarily spending their
money at home. Millions of dol
lars of stocks and bonds have been
sold back to US. and the interest
and dividends remain here. These
are facts, yet there arc many
people so false as to deny that
returned prosperity is due to the
war and many other people so
foolish as to believe them.

Hughes Points the Way

The speech Of the Republican candi-
date for president WAS keynote
speech indeed. Not one person ia the
great audience at the Carnegie hall
meeting was in doubt for enc moment
as to just what he meant hy every
thing h saiG.
His address was comprehensive, lUgi-
cal. clear and all sufficient for the Oc-
casion. There can he 10 dispute us to
this. Plainly Mr.. Hughes is a man
who "lnOws what hc wants when lie
wants it," and it is the opinion Of pO-
litical authorities who heard him and
who have since read his remarks that
he knows also how to get ii.
1t was incumbent upon the Republi-
can candidate to cOnine the scope of
his remarks to the limitations Of the
occasion, but his crushing analysis of
the shortcomings of the present adj
ministration of the government is
merely an earnest Of what the tone
and the contents of his speeches will
be when he gets on the stump.
At Carnegie hall Mr.. Hughes ad-
verted to every general question that
is apt to be a serious issue in>the cam
paign and in language that will be
absolutely clear to every man or wo-
man able to read he stated his OpiD-
ions, his convictions and his purposes.
On the stump he will argue those
points in detail. As an orator he is
eloquent, his personality attractive,
and his marshaling Of facts so CO.
hesive that he holds his audience to
the end. He makes it easy for them
to follow him, and his points are not
lost.
There was nothing equivOcal, moth
ing apologize in the Republican can
didates speech Of acceptance. He
called a spade a spade, and the unani-
nous opinion of those who heard him
was that he shot to the center and
rang the bell The Republican cam
paign is now open, and those who will
speak and write and work for the sue
cess of the Republican ticket can wish
for no more adequate campaign docu-
ment, no more satisfactory statement
of issues than are found in the candi-
| dates salutatOry.

Pork river and harbor bill, and his

The friendliest apOlOSists of the pres,

The foregoing words describing the
profigate waste of the peoples money
with executive approval IRE taken
without change from a plank of the
platform on which Woodrow Wilson
was elected in 1912:
I'VE denOunce the profiigate waste
of money wrung from the people by
oppressiv, taxation through the lavish
appropriations Of recent Republican
congresses. which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll. We demand a return

BELTS democratic government"
How much is now left of the prin
ciples declared and the promises reg
istered at Baltimore as inducements to
citizens to vote for Wilson.
Possibly it is because he and his
party have been such reckless, such
wholesale repudiatOrs of the pledges Of
