PLANT BOARD PROGRESSING
IN CANKER FIGHT

The state plant board is making
progress in the citrus canker fight.
The following is a statement from
Wilmon Newell, plant commissioner,
who is stationed at the University Of
Florida, Gainesville:
Nineteen citrus properties, which
have been infected with citrus canller,
were declared by the state plant
board as being no longer dangerous
centers, at a meeting of the board in
Jacksonville July 10. This means
that, in the option of the board, can
ker has been completely eradicated
from these properties and that they
are no longer considered as foci from
which further spread Of the disease
is to be feared.
This makes a total of Ill citrus
growing properties, formerly infect
ed, which have been declared clear by
the plant board since the beginning of
the eradication work last year. Of
these Ill, only three have since shown
reinfection and the circumstances sur
rounding these indicated that the in
lection was from outside sources"

verse for the Franco British arms and
a less important, but highly dramatic,
disaster for the British. The dIsas-

Constantinople was definitely aban-
doned in NovemDec, 1915, and the al
lied troops withdrawn from the Gal
Hpoh peninsula. About $1,000 troops
had been used in this venture, sup
ported by a mighty fleet. Six battis'
ships, FIVE British and one Fconen,
were sent to. the bottom, as well as
some minor craft, and the casualties
were unoficially reported to be almost
equal to the original number of the
expeditionary force. This was the re-
suit of six months of some of the
most sanguinary fighting of the war.
Britain's Second Disaster.
The second disaster of the British
was the surrender of 10000 troops

Turks at -El-Amara on the Tigris.
THE expedition had made a sensation

river in an attempt to seize Bagdad

when it was decisively defeated by
the Turks and forced to fall back 10J
miles. Here it was surrounded and
forced to surrender after a relief force

They present sums which are so be-
yond anything previously known to
international finance, so impossible Of
any human comparison that they be-

figures. In March DIR. Karl Helfer-
rich, secretary Of the imperial treas
ury of Germany, estimated that the
war was costing all the combatanis
1915 100000 a week or Sill 100000
900 a year. William Michaelis, an
other German financial expert, put
the yearly cost at the vaster sum Of
10000 100000, and other financial
authorities gave even higher figures.
On July II Reginald Mckenna,
British Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
stated in the house of commons that
the expenditures for Great Britain
alone were $30,0oO,000 daily. He did
not say, however, how much Of this
incredible sum represented war ex-
pense.
Within the last few months there
has been some talk Of peace in Ger

by unofficial bodies in various coun-
tries, but there has been little indj-
cations that the chance T;eries Of Flu

garians.
The principal success won by Aus
trian arms during the year was
great offensive undertaken against
Italy in May. The Austrian forces
swept the Italian invaders back over
a wide stretch of country in the
Southern Tyrol, reconquered about
27O square miles of Austrian terri
tory and carried the battle into Italy.
The Italians rallied, however, and at
the close of the twelve months had
egained large portion of ground
and were vigo4 Jas4y pressing a coun-
ter-offensive in accordance with the
! plans of the entente for concerted az
ton.
Mightiest Naval Battle.
On the sea the year witnessed an
! event of surprising interest. The
German grand fleet, steaming out
from its mine fields and impregna8e
| harbors at Kiel and WiIhelmshaven,
/ engaged the British fleet in the might
! lest naval battle of history.
The battle was fought off the coast
of Jutland on May 81. Its results are
+ so obscured by the conflicting claims
of the combatants that they will prob
| ably not be definitely known until the
war is over, if then. The Germans
! assert that the British losses were fan
heavier than theirs, and on that
/ ground claim the victory. me Brit
: ish, denying greater losses, point t.
the fact that they still control the
/ seas as the basis of their right to the
: title of victors. London also claims
that since the battle 200 British ships
! which had been tied up in Baltic ports
since the beginning of the war, haYt
been able to make their way to Eng
/ lish ports unmolested by German
warships.
The German official account of thu
fiS-ht says that the British losses wer,
117,150 tons as against 60,720 Con'

the loss in tonnage, but urofficio

obtained in the criminal courts in
other cases and the propaganda
ceased.
Apart from events in the actual
war theaters the most striking event
of the year in connection with the con-
fiiet was an uprising in Ireland in
April. The outbreak was organized
by a society ilcnown as the Sim Fem,
committed to' the principle of an in
dependent Ipeland. Bloody fighting
took place in Dublin in which hun
dreds of lives were lost, and the heart
of the business section destroyed, at
a cost of many millions of dollars. The
fighting was sporadic elsewhere in the
islands andtof minor importance. The
revolt was. finally crushed and the
ringleaders executed. 1t led, how
ever, to an agitation which resulted
in the government preparing a tenn
porary home rule bill which it ex-
poets to pass through parliament this
fall.
Deaths in Millions.
The day after the outbreak of the
rebellion Sir Roger Easement, for
merly in the British consular service,
was arrested on the west coast OF
Ireland, where he had attempted to
land a cargo of arms sent from Ger
many. He was tried later for hign
treason and sentenced to death.

An air-tight corn crib will soon pay

per cent. Consequently most farm
ers sell their corn in the fall and buy
western corn when they need it.
Farmers usually pay about 25 per
cent more for western corn than the
receive for their own. That is Il
heavy loss, but they pay in addition
to that for transportation both ways
between their homes and the stations.
This loss can be avoided by build
ing air-tight cribs so that the corn
can be treated with carbon bisulfido
that will kill the weevils. Every
farmer should have a crib that viii

FORMALIN PRESERVES
FRUITS FOR EXHIBIT

Do you intend to show fruits at the
fair this year? Some folks like to
preserve them in their natural state.
For this purpose a 8 per cent for
malin solution is needed. FAlit thus
preserved must not be used for food.
Formalin removes the coIoring of the
fruit and is Objectionable FOR that
reason, but other preservatives usual
ly do. the same.
Thin skinned fruits such as peaches,
plunns and persimmons will be splie
if they are placed in the fornalin
alone. Splitting may be prevented by
picking the fruit before it ripens and
by adding a small amount of glycerine
to the formalin solution.
Wood alcohol, which is also poison
>ous, may be used for preserving, bur
it is rather expensive. Furthermore,
the solution is apt to turn yellow.

Probably the easiest way to Obtain
plants is to bend the old vine over
and cover a portion of it with earth
so that the top protrudes, IN a few
days roots will have formed and The
top may be cut off; with the roots,
and set. A more difficult way is To
make cuttings several inches long
and to set them in sand until they are
rooted. They should be watered ire
