FIGHT T r KANKER.
Big Efforts Exertcd in Florida to De.
feat Disease.
(By Associated Press)

Tampa, Fla, Nov. 9-The fight
against the citrus canker, for which
nearly $750,000 already has been ap.
propriated, is making rapid Roadway
according to Frank Sterling, general
inspector of the Florida Plant Board
The disease had threatened the de.
struction of Florida's great orange
and grape fruit growers.
After a series of experiments fed.
eral an dstate officials determined that
the disease could be stamped out only
by the destruction of the infected tree.
It is to this drastic method that ex-
perts attribute the success which has
attended their efforts. Guide oil is
poured over the distressed tree and it
is set afire and burned out root and
branch. In some cases where an en-
tire grove is infected not only are the
trees turned but the ground is satur-
ated with oil and fired, for it has been
fround that the canker germs will
thrive for a long period v in the
driest Of soils.
In an address at a recent meeting
at Gainesville, Fla, Mr.. Stirling de-
clared that the disease had been era
dicated in twelve of the twenty-one
countries affected when the work be-
gan in 1914. He added that it prob
ably will only be a matter 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 os 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 a fund Of
$4,000 to fight it and the Florida
legislatured $125,O0O for the same
purpose. At the instance Of the Flor
ida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas
delegates Congress appropriated
$550,00O for the canker campaign with
the proviso that the various states
affected must assist with a like
amount. The Florida legislature is
expected to make additional appro-
priation at the 1917 session. Alt
hough California has not been en-
tered by the disease California Joined
with Florida in urginf congressional
action.

FIVE PAPERS IN
THIRTY HOURS
Daily Commonwealth Force Publish
Two Dailies, Two Extras and
One Weekly Edition.

From Wednesday morning at eight
o'clock until the time of going to
press with this edition the force Of
The Daily Commonwealth, short one
man, has published two regular edi-
tions of the daily paper, two extra
editions and one issue Of The Weekly
Commonwealth, all within thirty
hours.
Pride in good work accomplished
is a pardonable sin and the force of
The Daily Commonwealth feel proud
of the fact that such a record has
been set, eve though at the expense
of a bit of sleep and some hard work.
Beginning yesterday morning at
eight o'clock work was stated on the
regular issue of the daily paper, which
was concluded when the paper was
put upon the street yesterday after
noon. Work was Immediately begun
on an extra that was put upon the
streets at six yesterday afternoon.
A few minutes for supper and work
was begun again. This time on the
regular issue of the weekly edition
which went into the office this morn
ing, and another extra that was is
sued at five o'clock this morning.
Some of the force snatched a few
hours of peaceful (?) sleep and re-
turned to the job at nine. Some of
the force remained with the job right
on through.
This morning work was begun on
this issue. If the election is not de-
cided by the time this paper is put
on the street it is probable that anoth-
er extra will be published.
It is not in a boastful spirit that
this article is published but to give
the readers of The Daily Common
wealth some idea Of what effort is
being exerted by the management and
force of this paper to give them per-
feet satisfaction.
