Bordeaux Mixture Controls Gu.
cumber Blight

Cucumber blight may be con-
trolled by sprayings with bor-
deaux mixture. Satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained with this
mixture when it is properly used
DR.. G. D. Sherbakoff, associate
plant pathologist to the Universe
ty of Florida Experiment Station,
recommends that the first spray
ing be applied when the second
leaves have formed and be repeat
ed every week thereafter as long
as the disease troubles.
The spraying machine should be
good and capable of developing
high pressure so that the spray
will be in the form of a fog rather
than in coarse drops. Application
should be made to the under side
of the leaves.
The bordeaux mixture may be
prepared as follows: Dissolve
copper sulfate in water at the
rate of / pound to a gallon of wa
er. II quick dissolving is desired
the copper sulfate may be sus-
pended near the surface of the
water in a burlap bag. This
makes the stock solution of cop
er sulfate. The lime required
for making bordeaux must be
rock lime. This must be slaked
Weigh the lime and add enough
water to make it slake but not e.
nough to stop the action. When
the shaking is complete add e.
nough water to make as many gal
Ions of lime milk as there were
pounds of lime.
When bordeaux mixture is de-
sired these two stock solutions in
the proportion of AZ gallons of wa
ter to 4 gallons of each solution.
Stir vigorously few minutes,
strain and apply. This makes the
4-4-50 bordeaux.

Knott VIII Win

Every day things look brighter
for the triumphant election of w.
V. Knott. Thoughtful people all
over the State are awakening to
the fact that a candidate who has
absolutely nothing to commend
him except a false religious is
sue; a candidate of such violent
temper as to cause him to take
human life; a candidate who has
more than once expressed con-
tempt for our courts, and commit
ted himself to deeds of violence
and anarchy--is no fit person to be
Governor of this great and grow
inv State. We want peace and u
nifty in Florida to insure her prog
ress and growth; not the strife
and turmoil that would disgrace

1t is To Laugh

Alderman is reported as saying
that, when his gang fired ON the
lsheriff's posse at the Everglade
water tank on the East Coast, kill
ing three Of the posse, the surviv-
ors, including Sheriff Dan Hardie,
fell over one another in their eff
forts to escape the bullets of the
bandits. 1t is, therefore, amusing
to read this from the Sanford Her
aid of the 9Th inst:
"Sheriff Hardie here yesterday
looked like he had been through a
spell of sickness, being thin and
haggard looking and a week s
growth Of whiskers on his face.
He has proved that he is a fearless
officer and one who never leaves
a trail and the state of Florida is
proud of him. He has demon
strated that robbing banks in
Florida is a dangerous game and
despite the wild country contin-
gent to the lower east coast, men
cannot break the law and get by
with it. This is Sheriff Hardie s
last term and he has wound it up
with one of the most spectacular
chases and man hunts in the his
tory of the state. y

University of Florida Experiment
Station some dealers in phosphate
rock have at times represented
that their product constituted q
complete fertilizer. According to
the accepted definition of a com.
plete fertilizer, it will be readily
seen that the phosphate can con-
tain but one Of the elements re-
quired.
Such statements are misleading
to consumers and are, no doubt,
made to create a sale for the pro-
duct The claim is apparently
based on the fact that the phos-
phate contains quantities of lime
which will set free nitrogen and
potash already contained in the
soil in unavailable forms.
1t is well known that lime does
act in this way to some extent,
but it is obvious that the soil must
contain the unavailable nitrogen
and potash before lime can set
them free. Florida soils in gem
eral contain only small amounts
of these elements stored, and no
amount of lime will liberate them
when they do not exist. Long us
age has defined the term complete
fertilizer as one containing the
three plant foods, nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid, and potash, which
are the ones most commonly lack
ing i'll soils. Consequently, any
thing represented to be complete
is deceiving, if it does not contain
the materials necessary.

Spray Whitefly With Oils

| During June, July and August
several hundred cultures of the
Red Aschersonia, or red whitefly
fungus, were sold by the Plant
Board to citrus growers of the
state who applied for them. 9th.
ers, no doubt, succeeded in OBJ.
tanning supply of fungus from
their own groves or adjoining
groves, while others found what
they supposed to be a sufficient
start in the grove to control the
whitefy by the end of the summer.
Since the success of the fungus de-
pends upon weather conditions;
namely, heat and moisture, and as
these vary considerably with diff
ferent localities and the location
of the groves, it is practically GER
tain that some of the growers
have not obtained sufficient re-
lief from the whitehy by the use
of the fungi. In such instances
DIR. E. w. Berger, entomologist to
the State Plant Board, advises
that the groves be sprayed with
either an oil emulsion, with fish
oil soap or common laundry soap
used at the rate of one pound to
or 5 gallons of water These
spraying solutions will injure the
fungi little, if any, and if proper
ly done so as to thoroughly wet
the under surface of the leaves, so
to 95 percent, and perhaps, more,
of the whitehy larvae can be de-
stroyed this fall.
1t is important that the spray
ing be done early when the white
fly larvae are in the young stages
and more susceptible to spraying
solutions. The rule for spraying
is put thus: Wait until ten days
or two weeks after the adult
whiteflies or so called "white
gnats" have disappeared, before
spraying. This ten days or two
weeks gives ample time for the
eggs to hatch so that the great
majority of all the whitefies will
be in the scale like stages known
as larvae. The best time to spray
is during October in some locali-
ties, but probably November in
others.
Isolated groves thoroly sprayed
in the fall will generally not re-
quire another spraying before the
following fall. If the grove is ex-
posed to mfestation from adjoin-
ing groves not properly treated,
it may be necessary to spray again
in nthespring afterthe spring brood
of adults has disappeared and af-
ter the ten days or two weeks in
terval, which may be in April or

HOlU FlOridians Can Help
Better Their Communities

What a world this world would
be if everybody in it did exactly
what he ought to do!
The only troubles that could a.
rise then would come from differ
ing individuals, conceptions OF
of what ought to be, and so civil
courts would still be necessary tO
decide the meaning of duty to-
wards others. Unfortunately in
dividual consciences are modelled
after about as many patterns as
the physical bodies that carry
them around.
AT the risk of a wearying repe-
tition, the subject of the relations
of the citizen to the public is
brought up again, under the sug-
gestive idea that if every one in
every Florida community would
consider that he is a part of that
community. if he would do his
part to make it attractive and
keep it clean, to make himself a
desirable citizen and not a men,
ace, Florida would increase in
population and prosperity far
more rapidly than the fifty per
cent growth that has marked the
last several decades. The idea is
Utopean but perhaps not impos-
sible.
First Impressions are the last

ing ones. Iney are hdru W wear
away. The new conner to Florida
forms his ideas of the city, town
or village from the appearance of
things about the station where he
lleaves the railroad train. If the
unpaved streets are deep in sand,
where an empty wagon is an over
load for the toil-marked mule, if
the buildings are dilapidated, he
wishes he had stayed on the train.
1t requires many blocks of neat
homes and big shade trees and
flowers to remove the first depres-
sing illusions, or they may be de-
| lusions.
Fresh paint, well kept lawns,
choice flowers and trees, substan-
tial pavements and clean side
walks, with well dressed people in
the streets, activity in the business
sections and suggestions of refn-
ment about the homes, invite the
stranger to get acquainted and
spend his money. They make him
hunt the real estate offices and
ask questions, and if he discovers
that the community is living up to
it's appearances, he is likely to
stay, for he has found his kind of
people.
One indolent, don 't-care neigh
Dor, is actually a detriment in the
block or street. His presence puts
down the price of real estate and
it's a money-saving proposition to
buy him out and get rid of him.
But if each one does his part, if
he minds his own business in the
sense that he does what he ought,
the block, the street, the commun-
ity is o moving picture advertise
ment of prosperity.
But it is quite essential that the
appearances shall be true reflec-
tion Of the things that don t show
on the surface It's important
that the back yard shall be as
clean and sanitary as the front
lawn. And it's very important
that these appearances are backed
up by the low sick and death
rates. Good clothes don't neces-
sarily go with personal cleanliness
and hygienic living, but they ought
to, for both are the mark of intel
ligence and common sense.
Florida cities and chambers of
commerce are preparing to repeat
the investment Of last season by
buying large space in northern
periodicals, to set forth the adj
vantages of homes and farms and
in this state. But it
will be ill-spent money if we have
n t the goods to show. The sur
face OF things must reflect the ac-
tual conditions underneath. The
final test-and it is one that Flor
ida has to meet fair and square
is the healthfulness, summer and
that makes or mars any
section. The climate is all right
hard to improve on-but are all
Florida communities living up to
their climate? Are they using in
telligence in adopting sanitary ap-
piances, private and public? Are
they doing all possible to make
their spots on the map more at
tractive and healthful?
There is vast room for improve
ment, and any approach to per-
fection will be unattainable until
every citizen does his own individ-
ual part and stops his search for
the mote in his neighbor's s eye for
getting the beams that give him
a cross-eyed vision of his own
short comings.-State Board of
Health.

SERVICE MORE THAN GIVING
Deepest Spirit of Christmas Does Not
confine Itself to One Day, but
Is Manifest Entire Year.

The deepest spirit of the Christmas
outpouring that flows over the Chris
tan world is the impulse for human
service that runs through the whole
year.
1t is easy to give recklessly out of
ones abundance, or even to share care
fully ones pittance. The distribution
of Christmas dinners through hun
dreds of self-denying families means q
days happiness for the giver and re-
celYer. But it is greater happiness to
both to follow through the year with
aid to self-dependence, encouragement
to hope, and support in striving for
better living.
This is the giving of self, and they
who know how to give of themselves
wisely are the highest giyers. The
best feature Of Christmas is its ma
terial expression of a whole year OF
human service that runs like thread
through human lives.
Only these holiday glimpses reveal
TO the careless how many are deai-
Gated to share In this un0btrusive
service to the humbly striving and to
the accomplishing needy; how many
families are under constant stimulus
to the best sort of self-help; how many
children are being quietly led to
higher level Of living and striving for
themselves between Christmas and
