Kill the Cut Worm With Poison
Bait

Cut worms are among the
worst pests of spring crops. They
go through the alternating stage
| in the ground. In the spring
they come out just in time to
catch the young seedlings coming
up and the tender plants, like to-
matoes, which have just been
transplanted. The worms are es-
pecially destructive at this time,
for the ground is clean and there
is nothing but the young cultivat-
ed plants for them to feed upon.
W. l.. Floyd, professor of horti-
culture in the University of Flori-
ola College of Agriculture, sug-
gests that those who are troubled
with this worm can avoid loss by
the use of a poison bait. Wheat
bran 20 pounds, paris green /
pound, 2 gallons of water, 2
quarts of molasses and 6 lemons
or oranges grated or ground
whole make a cheap and effective
mixture, This is a firm mash
which should be scattered over
the ground just before nightfall.
1t is best to put the bait out be-
fore the seeds come up or the
plants are set. As soon as the
mixture dries the worms refuse
to eat it. 1t is not effective for
more than one night unless it is
shaded. Leaves of lettuce or cab
bage, poisoned with paris green
or arsenate of lead and scattered
over the field, are effective and
economical. Two or three treat
ments will kill most of the worms
and prevent unnecessary loss.
Keep all poultry away from the
poisoned bats.

Local Paper Best Advertising
Medium for Farmers

1t is an established fact that
the local newspaper is the most
influential institution in any COM
munity. Why? Because it is
nearest the people. The farmer
reads his local paper faithfully
from cover to cover. 1t is his Ii
brary. That is why the local pa
per, the country weekly or daily,
is the best advertising medium.
Farmers, heretofore, have not
advertised much, but they could
do so to an advantage. Men in
business far less competitive than
farming find it profitable to ad-
vertise. OF course there are many
staple farm products which could
not be advertised proftably. But
there are others which would pay
well as a result of systematic ad-
vertising, according to M. N. Bee
Ter, instructor in agricultural
journalism in the University of
Florida College Of Agriculture.
Many products go to waste
which could be sold, if the con-
sumer knew that they were avail
able. Livestock, poultry and
poultry products, butter, milk,
wood, fruits, vegetables. home
cured meats, canned goods, seed
corn, velvet beans, cowpeas, pea
nuts, and a hundred other things
lend themselves to advertising,
The local paper goes to every cor
ner of the county and to various
sections Of adjoining counties.
This is the range of territory in
which profitable marketing can be
done from the farm. The farmer
who advertises such produce as
that previously mentioned, will
have no trouble in finding buyers
in his locality The home paper
is the best medium for advising
consumers that this produce is for
sale. - University Agricultural

FARM AND GROVE IN FLORIDA

Drouth May Cut Sweet Potato
Crop
AGRICULTURAL A News ServicI
Hollaua Of

Farmers will be planting sweet
potato draws in a few days. Un-
less these draws grow well, the
main crop will be cut short. G.
K. McQuarrie, state agent for the
University of Florida Extension
Division, suggests that the farm
er can afford considerable care in
setting the draws, since the sweet
potato crop depends upon the
vines made by these draws.
The plant bed should be well
watered the night before the slips
are to be drawn. They should
be taken from the bed the next
morning and placed in a vessel Of
water in the shade. Setting
should be done in the late after
noon. The beds in which the
draws are to be set. should be
newly made.
The draws should be watered
after they are set and it will be
advisable to water them two or
three evenings in succession. OF
course, if the drouth breaks, such
care viii not be necessary.

cious and groundless. He has too
much to do. He knows that any
man who would make one false
statement would make a thousand
if noticed enough. He is no mud
singer, and has no part with
mud-slingers. What's more, he
doesn't stand behind a tree and
hand out mud to another man to
sling for him. We have known
him a long time down in these
parts, and we have never known
him to get down in the dirt with
any man. He has friends enough
over the State to kick the dirt off
the man who lies under it, and ex-
pose his mud-slinging to the pub
lie. Another thing we notice is
that Will Knott's friends are not
trying to elevate him through an
attempt to crush another man.
lie is big enough TO stand on his
own merits. Nobody ever heard
him abuse another man or at
tempt to set himself right by
proving that another man is
wrong. There are some men in
the world who can't rise except
by knocking another man down
and standing on him, but Mr.
Knott stands up straight and
clean, and wants his opponents to
stand right by him in an honest
and manly fight. The opponent
who stoops to pick up mud will
find in the end that Will Knott
has walked right over him.

A Peculiar Well in Florida

In their investigation of the
wells and underground waters of
Florida the gcologists of the u
nited States Geological Survey
have noted many interesting
things. Among these is a well at
Welaka, on st. Johns River, from
which two kinds of water are OBJ
tanned.
This well is 300 feet deep. The
length of the casing is 40 feet.
The well was first drilled to 100
feet, and from this depth ordi-
nary sulphur" water was OBJ
tanned The drill was then car
ried to a depth of 309 feet, where
it encountered a strong mineral
water, having disagreeable salty
taste. In order to use both kinds
of water an inner tubing was run
nearly to the bottom of the well.
Both this and the outer casing
were connected with pumps, so
that ordinary water and mineral
water can be pumped at the same

A Matter of Principle

The Punta Gorda Herald hav-
ing said that the fight which the
Tallahassee Record is making on
the Guardians of Liberty and
other secret political organiza-
tions, leads to the inference that
the Record favors Senator Bryan
for denomination, that paper ex-
plains:
Mr.. Jordan is mistaken. The
Florida Record is fighting for a
principle. Florida is threatened
with an epidemic of a terrible
disease-to-wit, religion in poll
tics-and The Florida Record is
trying to cure that disease. The
Florida Record believes that any
secret political organization with
in the party will ruin any party
in the world. History has prov
EN- that it will. This religious
business in politics is dangerous
thing, will disrupt the party if
continued, will give birth to a
new party or split the solid South,
what the Republicans have been
ambitious to do for 10, these
many years. The Record is like
the man who said he was neutral;
he didn't care who whipped the
Germans. We are not particular
about what candidate breaks UP
the Guardians, just so they are
ousted from the State"

Editor Hanna's Humorous Version
of the Punta Gorda Shark Story

Editor John G. Hanna of the
Auburndale News, who is one OF
the most brilliant writer's in the
state, gives such an entertaining
review of that Punta Gorda shark
story that appeared in the Tampa
Tribune last week, that The Her
aid, knowing that it will prove
interesting to all readers, here
with reprints it as follows:
"The most amazing razzle- daz-
zler Of fish story that even Flor
ida ever produced has just been
sent out from Punta Gorda under
date of March 26. Since that
town has been the habitat of Col.
Adrian Jordan, editor of the Her
aid and late State Pure Food In
spector, it has been the point of
origin of more marvellous fish
stories and all kinds Of natural
miracles than any other three
places put together. The state
has hardly recovered from the
story of potatoes growing on a
grape vine, Cor was it grapes
growing on a potatoY) sent out by
Col. Jordan some months ago.
Naturally, then, one expects a
Punta Gorda story to be some
what tall-say about Is stories,
with cupola and flagstaff.
Osborn of a wealth of colorful
detail, the story relates that
Messrs. Smith, Whidden and Per-
