CITRUS CANKER is
BEING FOUGHT NOW

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 1.-The
citrus canker situation in the South
looks promising, according to the an
nual report of the Chief of the Bureau
of Plant Industry, just issued. Florida,
1t is believed, is now practically free
OF the disease, although, the report
points out thorough inspection of cit
rus paintings will be necessary
throughout at least the coming fiscal
year. In other states the fight being
waged comparatively by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture and the state
officials has progressed very satisfac-
torily, especially in the commercially
important orange and grapefruit reg
lens, although the authorities say that
no official statement regarding COM
plete eradication of the disease can be
expected for at least two years. In
Texas. Louisiana, Alabama, and Missis-
sippi the work has been more difficult
from the beginning of the more scatter
ed character of the paintings and the
smaller interest in the matter due to
the comparatively low commercial
value of the citrus paintings as com.
pared with other agricultural develop
ments of those states.
The extreme infectiousness OF the
disease, however, makesc it's eradica
ton important even in sections, as in
Texas, where citrus trees are grown
merely as hedges or as ornamental
trees. Even in these states the pro-
gress appears to be encouraging, and
if no further unusual drawbacks, such
as the extremely severe tropical storms

oft he present year which caused un-
expectedly wide distribution of cank-
er in some areas, are encountered, the
disease will be effectively checked
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and
Mississippi should have but a very
small percentage of infected trees at
the close of the present fiscal year.
While material reduction in the
quality of infection has been effected
in Louisiana, the eradication of the
disease from that state and Texas ap-
parently will be very difficult and will
require greater length of time.
Supplemental protective measures,
such as formalin treatments of infect
ed soil and protective spraying of
groves exposed to infection, are mater
tally Fastening the work of eradication
through destruction of diseased trees
and decreasing the number of second.
airy outbreaks. Even in the few
places where citrus canker outbreaks
have occurred in commercial districts
and in old trees, it appears possible to
eradicate the disease promptly and
effectively.

UNIVERSITY ATTENDANCE
AT HIGH WATER MARI

The attendance upon the University
OF Georgia this season reaches high
water mark and by the end of the year
will be at elast seven hundred and
thirty.
Last seasons attendance of 761 was
the record up to that time. Already
this session 500 have registered and
that means at least thirty increase for
the year.
The young men are of the highest
type of Georgians. They have had fine
preliminary training and the years
work Of the University will be very
successful in every way.
For the first time the University has
gone to an entrance requirement OF
fourteen units fiat. Hitherto a young
man could enter on twelve units from
the high schools and make up the other
two units while in college. Now he
must have the entire fourteen units on
entrance.
In spite of this entrance REQUIRE
ments increase, the University showed
no falling off, but on the other hama
more students than ever reported.
