NOTES

In last weeks items where II read
"dry" digger poison Il should have
been "gray" digger squirrel poison.
However. Il had the desired effect.
I have had so many Inquiries about
the formula this week that ! am go-
Ing to give the formula.
i6 quarts barley,
ounce strychnine powder.
l ounce soda,
i/5 ounce sacoharine.
l quart starch soletions
u pint corn syrup,
Place the barley In a galvanized
receptacle such as wash tub, Mix
one tablespoonful OF common dry
gloss starch with one teaeup Of cold
water. Add this TO a pint Of hot
water and boil until clear. smooth
and free from Jumps. Add the strych-
nine. saccharine and soda. and beat
until the solution is the consistency
OF cream. Add q small teacupful OF
salt previous TO adding tho solution.
Pour this creamy mixture over the
barley and mix thoroughly until ev-
cry grain Is thoroughly coated. and
allow to stand few hours and mix
again.
again wish to emphasize the I'm
portance OF the meeting TO be held
nj the Commercial club rooms on
Thursday afternoon next. Represen-
tatives from the Oregon Agricultural
college and from the Federal Once
OF Markets viii be present TO explain
the government marketing plan. This
Is the only topic that will be con-
sidered at this meeting. We shall,
no doubt. have meetings later NJ
which we will take mp the care and
handling OF fruit.
When the evening temperature nj
8 p. m. registers 60 or above. one
may expect the Goblin moth 20 be
busy depositing eggs, II is then time
to apply the second Goblin moth
spray. Do not delay Il. but get busy,
Apples and pears are. generally,
pretty free from scab az present. but
another scab spray Is necessary to In
sure clean crop, Use iime-sulphur
1-35 or lao with the arsenate spray.
Put your lime-sulphur in the tank,
start your agitator and slowly add
the arsenate.
Seed selection. including the po-
tato, is one OF the projects advised
by the advisory council. Now Is the
time to begin on the Improvement OF
the potato for next year. Potato
blight is one thing to look out for.
Bordeaux mixture Is the remedy,
$3.50 formula to be used. There Is
no substitute. Watch for the first
appearance and begin right away to
spray-just as soon as the first
leaves show It.
Begin rougeing the potato fields.
AS soon as any potato plants begin
showing distinct signs OF leaf rolling
or the wilt disease. or are not true
to varietal type. remove and destroy
them before they begin forming
tubers. Some OF the potato diseases
can be controlled only by the selection
and growing OF disease free seed. and
in no other way. n some OF the
plants show disease. and they are
allowed to remain. II will contamin-
ate the ground and infest the other
wise healthy potatoes.

MEXICO WANTS PEACE
WITH UNITED STATES

The Clearwater Sun of June
Oath prints page from Confed-
crate history giving thrilling ac-
count of the first submarine craft
ever constructed. 1t was devised
and built by Messrs. Hundley
and McClintock at Mobile, and
launched in 1864. 1t was taken
to Charleston, and after several
luckless attempts to submarine
some of the big gunboats of the
enemy, it was finally hurled a.
gainst the Housatonic, and both
went to the bottom after the sub
marine had done its work. In
after years the remains of the two
boats were found, the little tor
pedo boat by the side of the
giant it had slain, with the bones
of the heroic dead in the wreck
age.-Ocala Banner.

NEW TROPICAL FRUIT
Anonas Are to be Introduced Into
Dade County

Probably the finest collection of
anonas ever assembled is being
established on the new govern
ment experimental station north
of Buena Vista, according to Ed
ward Simmonds, scientist in
charge. From all sections of trop-
ical South America and the West
Indies the most valuable varieties
of this remarkable species of
fruit have been selected and will
be fruited out here in the hope of
finding some kinds that will
prove the nucleus of a new indus
try for tropical United States in
general and Dade county in par
ticular.
..... To the family of the anonas be-
long the familiar custard apple,
Jamaica apple, sweet sop and a
bout fifty other varieties. The
"mulgoba" of all these apples
will be sought by the scientists,
with possibly many new and bet
ter varieties produced by cross
pollenization.
The anona fruits are nearly all
natives of tropical South Ameri-
ca and the islands of this hemi-
sphere They have been proven
to be adaptable to Dade county,
and a large number of trees have
been set out, but as yet the fruit
is used only for home consump-
tion, as the grapefruit and avoca-
do were twenty yeat 9 ago. The
selection of one or n re varieties
which are best for ling and at
the same time stan transporta-
ton well is the tai the station
has set for ITSELF mi Metrop-
oils.

STATE DIVISION
Sentiment Growing and Legisla
ture May Act

Throughout all sections of the
state, and particularly in the east
and west coast sections of south
Florida, the demand for state di-
vision is growing rapidly and the
next legislature undoubtedly will
be strongly urged to put the
question to a vote of the people.
The matter has been brought up
heretofore, but with little force
behind it, as a result of which the
necessity of making a united eff
fort is now realized by south
Floridians.
There is no reason why two
sections that differ as widely as
south Florida and north and
northwest Florida should be
bound together as one state, and
this fact has been driven home to
all progressive thinking people.
The Times is pleased indeed at
the interest being displayed in
this movement and hopes every
legislator from south Florida will
be pledged without delay to vote
in favor of submission of divis-
ion amendment.-Tampa Times.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1916-07-06

Another beauty of our primary
law has been discovered, in that a
man may be elected to the govern
orship or to any other office, and
neither he nor any one else ever
know it. For instance, Hudson,
Farris and Wood, not being high
men" on first choice votes, were
eliminated from the count. But
either of them might have had
enough second choice votes, taken
from the other candidates, so that
when added to their first choice
they might lead both Knott and
Cats. The deeper you get into
this primary thing, the more Won
derful and mysterious it appears
