Do Not Limit Citrus Fertilizer to
Area Under Tree

Do you know how the citrus
tree feeds? The feeding surface
of the roots is limited to about a
quarter of an inch of the tip. The
tips of the roots are continually
pushing out. Consequently the
mass of fbrous roots which gather
nourishment for the tree are re-
moved from the trunk.
A great many growers apply
fertilizers in a circle on ring be-
meath the tree. The best results
cannot be had from this method
because a large part of the fertil-
izers never reach the feeding root
tips. B. f. Floyd plant physiolo-
gist to the University of Florida
Experiment Station, suggests that
the fertilizer be spread over the
surface between the trees and un-
der the outer branches.
The reasons for this suggestion
are, first, because the roots proba-
bly, extend farther out than the
grower estimates; second, be-
cause widespread fertilizing in
duces the roots to spread; the
third, because the fertilizer be-
tween the rows induces cover
crop growth. Furthermore, if
the cover crop is turned under
the plant food which it has taken
up will probably be in better
form than it was originally.
When heavy application is
limited to a small area under the
tree there is more danger of in
jury than when it is spread over
the broader area between the
rows. Cases have been observed
in which injury has been appar-
entity due to heavy applications
on limited space. This is espec-
tally true of heavy applications
of readily available fertilizers.

Bankers Association Recommend
Loans for Pig Clubs

The Agricultural Committee OF
the Florida State Bankers Asso-
citation submitted the following
resolutions to the Association at
the meeting in Daytona, April 7
and s:
"Deeming the development of
the livestock industry Of Florid"
the most important subject be-
fore our Committee, we have e.
Eliminated all other propositions
and concentrated on the follow
ing resolutions, which we unani-
mously passed and upon which
we now ask your favorable action
First, resolved that the bank
ers of each county be requested
to jointly provide a fund from
which to make loans to members
of the boys corn clubs with
which to purchase purebrcd pigs.
Resolved further, that this
provision apply only to those
members who complete the corn
club work and who agree to keep
a pig under the rules and regula-.
tionS formulated by the county
demonstration agent,
"On your passage of this reso-
luton full particulars Of how
county bankers organizations
can be perfected, and the terms
of agreement between the bank
ers and members of the boys
club for the care of pigs, will be
sent to each banker by G. X. Nc
Quarrie, state agent for the Uni
vesity of Florida Extension Di-
vision.
These resolutions together with
Others pertaining to cattle tick e.
radication were adopted unani-
mously by the Convention.

sulfur Sprays Control Rust
Mites

Citrus growers should be on the
alert for rust mites and red spid-
ers. These pests are easily over
looked by the average grower and
they are hard to distinguish with
the naked eye. Fruits and leaves
should be examined with strong
hand lens for rust mites if one is
not accustomed to looking for
them with the unaided eye.
Those growers who have white
fly and who intend to spray for it
will not need to spray for the
rust mite. If rust mites are dis
however, j. r. Watson,
to the University OF
Florida Experiment Station, rec
ommends spraying with some
form of sulfur. Probably the
most efficient spray is limesulfur.
Some growers prefer to use lime
and sulfur dry. This is cheaper
than the limesulfur but it is not
so efficient. The proportion should
be one pound Of hydrated lime to
two or three of flowers of sulfur.

Hay Crops Should Follow Spring
Vegetables

Vegetable lands which will be
idle within the next few weeks
should not be allowed to grow up
in weeds. G. X. McQuarrie,
state agent for the University of
Florida Extension Division, sug-
gests that they planted to hay
crops. Weeds will undoubtedly
grow if some valuable crop is not
planted. Since it is desirable to
have the land covered, it is adj
vantageOus to grow some culti-
waited crop.
In South Florida Natal on the
high lands and Rhodes grass on
flatwoods are good hay crops. In
the northern part of the state Ger
man millet, cowpeas, or some OF
the short period velvet bean hy-
brids would make good crops. 1t
must be understood that Natal
grass, Rhodes grass and German
millet are soil depicting crops,
and that the cowpeas and velvet
beans are soil builders. Conse-
quently the legume should be
planted wherever possible.

The Birth of the Potash
Industry in this Country

Potash salts were produced in
the United States in 1915 to the
value of $4,000, according to
the United States Geological Sur
vey. Though this figure is of in
terest as showing small begin
ming in the domestic potash in
dustry, it becomes of little i'm
portance if the total needs of the
country are considered, for it rep
resents a quantity consumed in
less than week under normal
conditions.
Reduced Imports
The imports of refined potash
in 1915 were 76, 141 long tons, or
slightly more than Is per cent. of
those in 1913, the latest normal
year of importation. Imports of
the potash fertilizers, kainite,
manure salts, amounted to 20,427
long tons, or about 8 per cent of
those in 1918. Taking all the
potash salts together, the imports
in 1915 were about one-tenth of
those under normal conditions.
Progress in the Domestic Industry
In the Survey report on the
subject, w. G. Phalen states that
potash was recovered within the
United States as a by-product
from the manufacture of Port
land cement at Riverside, Cal. By
product potash from this source
has yielded a considerable reve-
nue., owing to the abnormally
high price for these salts,
and in obtaining it two other pur-
poses have been subserved- first
the saving Of additional material
to be converted into cement, and
second, the elimination of the
dust nuisance. At Riverside a
discharge of 100 tons of dust a
day over the surrounding orange
groves has been prevented.

ONE DIADEM FOR
FLORIDA'S CREST
Written in 1868 by Belle Boyd, A
Confederate Spy on Her
Visit to Florida

Land of the orange and beauti-
full flowers, where rich clustering
grapes encumbers the bowers, and
the old Spanish moss festooned
the broad trees with beard long
and gray as the cold man of the
sea-"
Land of the lemon, the date
and the palm, where old ocean
soothes the rough waves to a
calm as the swift flowing tide
from the Mexican sea warns the
cold winds to a tropical breeze.
Land of the olive, the fig and
the lime, where old Spanish forts
waits not of time, as it sweeps
through the ages and ever pres
cnt green as the faithful garrison
of st. Augustine.
Land of the citron, the almond
and plantain, where dear "Silver
Springs" a perpetual fountain
laughs a refrain like the "Minne-
haha" as it mingles with the
floods of the Ocklawaha.
Land of the paw paw, cocoa
and yam, where, the dark ebony
faces of the descendants of Ham
glow with the delight in its hum
orous glee as he thinks of his
home on the silver Suwanee.
Land OF banana, the sage and
the castor, where the Seminole
regards not disaster by swamps
by stream of the broad everglade
If cherished by the smile of his
young dusky maid.
Land of the sugar cane, rice
and cotton, where generous hos
pitality is never forgotten by the
true hearted southerner as round
his broad hearth he welcomes the
stranger regardless of birth.
Land of the oak which for hun
dreds OF years withstood the rude
blast of more northern spheres
transplanted to this more genial
cline, is the live oak of centuries
of time.
Land of the cypress, the cedar
and pine, where old Ponce de
Leon IN the older times sought to
regain his teachings of truth in
his wild mood of search for the
fountain of youth.
Land of the holly, magnolia and
bay which fills the March breeze
with the fragrance of May as
through the deep woods in a halo
OF sheen they speak to the heart
of perennial green.
