Can Reduce Citrus Fruit Rot.

A proper disinfecton of the equip
ment used in picking and preparing
the citrus fruit crop for market will
reduce the rotting of the fruit in
transit. That is the opinion of Will
mon Newell, State Plant Commission
er at the University of Florida, who
says:
"Field boxes, in which the fruit is
picked and transported to the packing
house, become contaminated with the
fungi which cause molds and rots and
sound fruit handled in such boxes be-
comes contaminated. The dipping of
all field boxes in a suitable disinfect-
ing solution at all public packing
houses is being advocated and is meet
ing with general response in many
localities. A number of packing
houses have already installed dipping
vats and are dipping the field boxes as
a regular part of the packing house
routine.
with this precaution, the disinfec-
tion Of clippers, picking ladders, bags
and the clothing of laborers when
leaving one property and before reach
ing another, is helpful in preventing
the spread of many pests, such as
scaly-bark, stem-end rot, withertip,
and various scale insects"

WAS YOUR GARDEN KILLED?
Make New One-There is a Great
er Need For 1t Now.

"If ever farmer needed a garden
it is now. If ever he had to hurry tc
make garden, it is now" That is
the way c. K. McQuarrie, State agent
to the University of Florida extension
division, views the situation. If you
take hs advice you will begin at once
to clear your garden spot of frozen
vegetables so that seed may be plant
ed.
Mr., McQuarrie says there is scarce
ly any green foods on the market
You need such food on your table, and
if you grow surplus you will find a
ready market for it. Don't let the
freeze discourage you; plant some
thing. What can you plant? Here
are few things he suggests:
Radishes, peas, turnips and lettuce.
1t is little late for lettuce but the
Romaine type will prove productive.
Alaska and Gradus are the best varie-
ties of peas just now. If you like
greens, plant mustard of the curley
type, dwarf Essex rape, or South
Carolina collards.
If your garden was we'll fertilized
before the freeze, you will not find
that part of the work expensive now,
and the soil will be in good tilth.
Make your garden now before other
work demands all of your time.

SALARIES
VIRTUALLY REDUCED
Louis F. Post Says Stationary Standard
Is Tantamount TO Reduction.

That the wage Of the average govern
ment clerk had actually been reduced
In the last four years was the contention
Of Assistant Secretary of Labor Louis +.
Post, who addressed the quarterly meet
Ing Of the Federal Employer Union at
National Rifles Armory last night
That might not sound logical" said
Mr., Post, 'but here Is how 1t works out
In reality: Men and women In the govern
ment service do not work for the checks
that the government pays out twice q
month. They cannot ciothe themselves
with the paper. they cannot feed upon It.
They rely upon it solely a. q medium OF
exchange; they exchange the product OF
their labor for the clothes that go upon
their backs, for the food that goes into
their stomachs, for the other actual ne
cessities of life. and in some cases Tor
little luxuries. Since the product OF their
labor, which Is a check or currency, can
not be exchanged today for as much a.
amounts to a reduction In salary. There
is no other conclusion
Taking up the matter Of organisation.
Mr. Post said the employees had accom-
plished the first great step toward bet
tering their condition by the determine
ton to organize. He declared that the
Individual must subordinate the inner
ent selfish trait that 10 present in every
one to some extent and realize that in
asmuch as he helps himself he must help
his fellowman. and In the same degree he
helps his fellowman he helps himself.

GRAYSON'S PROMOTION
| CONDEMNED BY PAPER
Sea Power" Navy League Organ.
Calls Action Betrayal of Navy"

President Wilson's action In promoptins
his friend and associate DR.. CRAY T.
Grayson. U. 8. NJ, from the relative rank
Of lieutenant commander to that. Of rear
admiral has ensendered much bitterness
in service circles.
The promotion OF DR.. Grayson Jumps
him over 1l4 OF his seniors and through
three naval grades. The expression of
service opinion was embodied in a critical
editorial prepared for the February issue
of Sea Power" the organ OF the Navy
League of the United States. and given
out last night for advance publication.
The editorial says. in part:
THE subtle and studied character OF
this betrayal of the navy to the intrigue
of personal politics Is accentuated by
the fact that some of the names (ot
the five officers promoted to the grade
OF rear admiraD were Included in the list
with the purpose of giving II respecta-
bility. David w. Taylor was named. He
is tho foremost constructor In the world
today and his services TO his country
should have spared him the insult OF hav-
ing his name used as deodorizer.
Let us discuss frankly the case OF
DR. Grayson. He enterted the service In
1904 and after twelve years of duty
of which perhaps the most arduous part
has been carrying the White House shawl
strap, he is promoted TO the rank OF
rear admiral with all the pay anc
emoluments which go with that honored
rank usually conferred as a reward OF
long and worthy service.
He is jumped over the heads OF mer
who have done their legitimate duty on
ships and in the fever fens of the tropics.
He passes over these men and is given a
life position with a higher permanent
rank than was ever before reached by a
doctor in the history Of the navy, and
these men of longer. of better, and OF
honorable service are slurred as being
unworthy and incompetent
