Matthew B. Clausseu. who $ q

Rose or his wife. But when the cable

THE CANKER FIGHT

The fight against the citrus can
ker. for which nearly S75G,OOO al
ready has been apr-oprs ated, is MAJ
inc rapid Roadway, according p
Frank Sterling, general inspector OF
the Florida Plant Board. The disease
had threatened the destruction OF
Florida's great orange and grapefruit
groves.
After series of experiments led
eral and State officials determined
that the disease could be stamped
out only by the destruction of the IN
fected tree. 1t is to this drastic
method that experts attribute the
isuccess which has attended their e1-
forts. Crude oil is poured over the
diseased tree and it is set afire and
burned out root and branch In
some cases where an entire grove is
infected not only are the trees
burned but the ground is saturated
with oil and fired. for it has been
found that the canker germs will
thrive for long period even in the
dryest of soils.
In an address at recent citrus
meeting at Gainesville, Fla. Mr..
Sterling declared that the disease had
been eradicated in twelve of the
twentv-one counties affected when
the work began in 1914. He added
that it probably will only be a mat
fer of time until the disease is wiped
out
The canker made its appearance IN
Florida and along the Gulf Coast as
! far west as Texas, where citrus fruits
are grown 1t is believed to have
been introduced into the United
States in stock imported from Japan
and Mexico. Investigations proved
that birds carried the germ on their
feet and wings.
Florida growers raised fund OF
$50. 900 to fight it and the FLORIDA
Legislature appropriated $125,OOo
| for the same purpose At the IN
stance of the Florida, Alabama,
Louisiana and Texas delegations CON
gress appropriated $55o,ooo for the
oanker campaign with the proviso
that the various States affected must
assist with a like amount The Flor

Zle of the weapon is as follows:
There Is drumlike cylinder Of fixed
diameter and Of sufficiently stiff pa
per to stand being rapidly revolved on
q spindle. As the cylinder is Of small
circumference it is necessary that the
speed approach 1000 revolutions q
minute. These revolutions are pro-
duced by electric power, and the count
is made by an exact mechanical regis
ter.
The gun is placed securely at the re-
quired distance from the drum and ID
sighted directly at the center of the cyl
inder, which is spinning at so many
rods even miles-a minute, as its cir
cumference determines. With the
drums speed adjusted. an electric cur.

striking the center Of the drum az
measured from top to bottom.
1t must be borne in mind that with
the drum stationary the bullet would

with scarcely ''shade of impediment"
With the drums periphery whirling at
the rate Of 1000 revolutions minute
and its diameter only a fraction more

1000 yards in sixty seconds. Thus In
