Farmers Will Receive Money At
Five Per Cent

According to lecture by Sen
atof Duncan u. Fletcher at the u
University Of Florida recently, the
farmers Of this country probably
will receive money at five per cent
under the Federal Farm Loan Act
He said that just before he left
Washington the Farm Loan Board
had received assurance that mil
lions Of capital would be available
at 4 per cent. This money viii be
invested in bonds issued by Farm
Loan Banks under provisions OF
Banks. Under the provisions OF
the Act the famers cannot be
charged more than l per cent a
bove the interest paid on the
bonds.
The bonds are highly desirable
as investments, owing to their
safety and the tax exemptions
which they viii enjoy. Investors
will withdraw their money from
less secure bonds and place it in
the farm loan bonds. Four per
cent is an attractive rate for large
capital when the solidity of the
bonds is considered, since these
will be as safe as those of the Gov
ernment itself.

Useless Christmas Giving

Editor Jordan strikes chord
of wisdom and good common sense
in the following:
Christmas has become a night
mare to most bread-winners who
have to pay the cost. Why not
quit giving presents to any per-
sons over fourteen years old and
let people over, that age merely
exchange Christmas cards?
There is no good reason why
adults should buy and exchange
expensive presents at Christmas
time. The season was never in
tended for that purpose. 1t
stands for an exchange of good
will and good cheer but not of
costly gewgaws. The children,
of course, must have their gifts,
but thev need not be expensive.
The ordinary child derives more
pleasure from a dollar toy than
from a ten dollar ornament.
Christmas giving has been
greatly abused. Persons give ex-
pensive presents when th,y are
not financial able to pay for them
a1d when they urgently need the
money for some other purpose.
Many of them take the money
which ought to go to paying their
bills and purchase costly gifts for
relatives and friends. It is a
false proposition in economy 1t
entails succeeding weeks of de-
privation, of being "hard up" for
money for the necessary expenses
of life.
Some day the public will wake
up to the folly of this expensive
Christmas giving and then Editor
Jordan S suggestion will be adopt-
ed. Everybody will be happier
ard better off.-Tampa Tribune

Spray for San Jose Scale in De
cember

Spraying for San Jose Scale
should be done when the trees are
dormant. Since peach tres reach
this stage in December, that is the
best month for fighting this pest.
J. r. Watson, entomologist to the
University Of Florida Experiment
Station, recommends spraying
with lime sulfllr, / part Of the
commercial solution to 8 parts of
water.
Spraying must be done after the
old leaves have fallen ard before
the new buds begin to swell to a.
void injury to foliage, While De-
cember is the time recommended,
late varieties might be sprayed
safely in January, but the early
varieties probably will be resum-
ling growth by that time.
Scale fungus can be introduced
in June next year to take care Of
the summer brood.

By-Products of Citrus Fruits

Washington, ID. C.-The follow
ing extract regarding some of the
work done in the interest of the
lcitrus fruit producers is taken
from the annual report of the bu-
reau of chemistry, U. S. depart
ment of agriculture:
The development of method
for the manufacture of citrate Of
lime from lemons has been COM
pleted, while the development of a
method for the manufacture OF
citirc acid free from contamina-
ton by heavy metals is well ad-
vanced. The manufacture of lem
on oil has been further studied
and the determination of the sea-
sonal variations of the oil and cit
ric acid content of lemons has
been practically completed for
certain sections of California A
study of tangerines has shown
that the green fruit has value as
a source of citric acid and that the
oil has commercial possibilities.
The manufacture of marmalade
stock has been undertaken.
A fine orange vinegar has been
manufactured on a small CONNER
cial scale which promises to find
a market, though limited one,
because it costs more to produce
than the usual product. The de-
termination of the composition of
California oranges with reference
to season, climate, soil, location,
and methods of cultivation has
been completed and the results
are being prepared for publiea-
tion. The study of the compost
ton of oranges from selected trees
has been of great assistance to the
bureau of plant industry in study
ing bud variations for the pur-
pose of making selections in prop
agation experiments. Similar
studies upon grapefruit have been
begun with the bureau of plant
industry for the purpose of stand
ardizing and improving the vari-
cites grown. A study to establish
the range of variation in compo-
sition of mature Florida and Cal
ifornia grapefruit has been un-
dertaken to be carried through
several seasons.
