Sweet Potato Crop of

infested areas in Florida. the means
by which the weevil is spread to
new localities and in placing before
the Plant Board plans for stopping
its further spread.
1t has been found, for example,
that shipments of sweet potato tub
ers and vines, infested with the wee
vii, have been coming into Florida
from other states and sack after sack
of infested potatoes and vines have
arrived at Key West and Tampa on
vessels from Cuba. Whenever these
infested shipments have been de-
tected by the inspectors of the Plant
Board they have either been sent
back or destroyed, but it is mani
testify impossible for the Plant Board
inspectors to see every shipment of
plants and potatoes coming into
Florida. In such infested shipments
hes the greatest danger of the pest
becoming established in new locali-
ties. After considering this situation
In all its aspects the Plant Board
came to the conclusion that the Flor
ida farmers could not be protected
against this pest unless the ship
ment of sweet potatoes and plants
into the state was stopped. Accord
ingly, at its meeting on August ID.
1917, the Board adopted Rule 32,'
which prohibits the importation of
sweet potato plants and vines from
all states and countries While this
quarantine will shut off the steady
influx of weevil- infested material

Now it is the sweet potato crop
of Florida that is threatened with
devastation by the invasion of a de-
structive insect pest. The sweet po-
tato root weevil has been found to
occur in four widely separated areas
IN the state and in each locality
where it has been established for
three years or more it has made the
profitable culture of the sweet pota
to impossible. In fact, in the in
tested localities the farmer finds it
difficult to raise even enough sweet
potatoes for the use of his family.
This menace is being regarded
with the gravest concern by the state
plant board for perhaps no crop in
FLORIDA is of as great Importance in
supplying food to our people The
poorer class of people. partic ularly
look to the sweet potato crop as their
principal food supply. The adoption,
by the government, of the sweet po-
tato as one of the regular articles
IN the menu of our troops also makes
the preservation and increase of the
sweet potato crop one of the most
fense..
The pest is not new to the south
ern states, having been known in the
southern portion of Louisiana for the
past twenty years. Experience in
that staff and in Texas has shown
that at all infested points within six
ty or seventy miles of the Gulf coast
the pest continues to destroy prac-
tically the entire sweet potato crop
year after year. No satisfactory
measures of controlling it have been
found. There are also infested areas
of greater or less extent in Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Georgia and the
pest is evidently very abundant in
Cuba.

LIST ALL AUTOS IN
CITY OF PENSACOLA

An effort will be made by the
Army and Navy Life Activities Com
mittee to list all automobiles avail
able for use if necessity arises: and
all motor car owners in the city, who
have no objections to permitting the
use of their machines for relief work
are requested to phone 128, and list
their names.
In prosecuting the work coming
within the scope of the committee, a
constant demand comes for the use of
motor car for probably an hour a
day. AS there are no funds at the
disposal of the organization, the
members must rely on the co-opera-
ton of the citizens of Pensacola.
During the book campaign when
cars were needed to collect the books
Pensacolians kindly permitted the
use of their machines on successive
days, greatly aiding in the work. 1t is
often necessary to carry parties to the
forts, and for various other work. The
cars may be kept under the charge of
the owner, or chauffeur, and their
good condition on return is guaran-
teed.

CHAPTER Xi.
The Valley Of Decision.

Much water had run under the
bridges Of the world and incidentally
over the wreck Of the International,
since that bitter farewell between
Bertram Meade and Helen Illingworth
over the grave of the old engineer. Life
had seemed to hold absolutely moth
ing for Meade as he knelt by that low
slowly away with many a backward
glance, with many pause, obviously
reluctant. He realized that the lifting
of hand would have called her back.
How hard it was for him to remain
quiet; and, finally, before she disap-
peared and before she took her last
look at him, to turn his back resolutely
as if to mark the termination of the
situation.
Father, fame, reputation, love, taken
weaker man might have sent life to fol-
low. In the troubled days after the
fall of the bridge, his fathers death,
the inquests, his testimony and evil
dence freely given, and that parting,
something like despair had filled the
young engineers heart. Life held moth
ing. He debated with himself whether
it would not be better to end it than
to live it. He envied his father his
broken heart. Singularly enough, the
thing that made life at least value
was the thing that kept him from
throwing it aWay-the woman.
Striving to analyZe the complex
emotions that centered about his losses
he was forced to admit, although it
seemed a sign of weakness, that love
of woman was greater than love Of
fame, that in the balance one girl out
weighed bridge and father. That the
romance was ended was what made
life insupportable. Yet the faint, vague
possibility that it might be resumed if
he could find some way to show his
worthinesS was what made him, cling
to it.
Of course he coul6 have showed
without much difficulty and beyond
peradventure at the inquest over Alb
bott and the investigation into the
cause of the failure of the bridge-un-
fortunate but too obvious-that the
frightful and fatal error in the design
was not his and that he had protested
against the accepted plan, if only he
had found the letter addressed to his
father. But that he would never do

CHAPTER X.
The New Rodman.

There are no more beautiful valleys
anywhere than those cut by the waters
of primeval floods through the foothills
tains. The erOsions and washings Of
untold centuries have flung out in front
Of the granite ramparts of succession
of lower elevations like the bastions Of
a fortress. At first scarcely to be dis
tinguished from the main range in
height and ruggedness these ravelins
and escarpments gradually decrease in
altitude and size until they turn into
series of more or less disconnected,
softly rounded hills, like outflung
earthworks, finally merging themselves
by gradual slopes into the distant
plains overlooked by the great peaks
Of the mountains.
The mOnOtOny Of these pine-clad,
wind-swept slopes is broken even in
the low hills by Out-thrustings Of stone,
sometimes the hard igneous rock, the
granite Of the mountains, more fire.
quently the softer red sandstone of a
period later, yet ineffably old. These
cliffs, buttes, hills and mesas have
been weathered into strange and fan
tastic shapes which diversity the land
scape and add charm to the country.
The narrow canons in which the
snOwbed streams take their rise grad
ually widen as the water follows it's
tortuous course down the mountains
through the subsiding ranges and out
among the foothills to the sandy, arid,
windy plains beyond. At the entrance
of Cne of the lOveliest Of these broad
and verdant valleys, short distance
above it's confluence with a narrower,
more rugged ravine through the hills,
lay the thriving little town of Coro-
nadO.
Some twenty miles back from the
town at a place where the valley was
narrowed to quarter of a mile, and
separating it from the paralleling ra-
vine, rose huge sandstone rock called
Spanish Mesa. It's top, some hundreds
of feet higher than the tree-clad base
of the hills, was mainly level. From
it's high elevation the country could be
seen for many miles, mountains on one
hand, plains on the other. It stood
like an island in a sea Of verdllre. Lit
tie spurs and ridges ran from it. To-
ward the range it descended and con-
tracted into a narrow saddle, vulgarly
known as a "hog-back," where the
granite of the mountains was hidden
under a deep covering of grass-grown
earth, which formed the only division
between the valley and the gorge or
ravine before the land, widening. rose
into the next hill.
The people came from miles away
to see that interesting and c,5rious
mesa, much more striking in it's ap-
pearance than Baldwin's knob, the last
foothill below it. Transcontinental
travellers even broke journey to visit
it. The town prospered accordingly
especially as it was admirably situated
as place of departure for hunters, ex-
