Leaf, Twis and Fruit of Grapefruit, Showing Citrus canker Infections.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Citrus canker can be completely
eradicated from this country If ener
getic work is continued for a sufficient
length of time. In an article in the
1916 yearbook of the department, DR..
X. f. Kellerman points out that the
inspection and eradication work which
has been in progress for the last two
years, while expensive in itself, has
yielded encouraging results, and that
this disease Is so serious q menace
that the cost of combating it is small
In proportion to the value of the prop
erty to be saved.
Citrus canker is described by Doctor
Kellerman as the most contagious of
all known plant diseases and the most
destructive Of commercial values.
More drastic precautions have been
found necessary in fighting it than are
required by any other plant disease.
Not only are infected trees destroyed
Dy burning, but the ground under the
tree Is sprayed with a formalin solu-
ton, and it is also advisable to do this
with apparently healthy trees in the
neighb0rhood Of those infected. The
inspectors who do this work are re-
quired to wear a costume which can
be thoroughly disinfected before and
after visiting each citrus orchard. All
the apparatus taken into citrus groves.
such as Oil cans and pumps, must also
be disinfected.
Work Of this character Is now being
carried on comparatively by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
and the states of Alabama, Texas,
Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida.

Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind Of Il corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers II you
will apply on the corn a few drops Of
%freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get a small bot
tie Of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger Of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound,
and dries the moment 1t Is applied and

Kidney & Co.
(BY DR.. ]. II. WATSON

The kidneys and the skin work in
harmony. They're companions, the
skin being the second partner. II we
are anxious to keep well and preserve
the vitality Of the kidneys and, also,
free the blood from noxious elements,
we must pay special attention to n
good action Of the skin and to see that
the kidneys are flushed so as to ellmi-
nate the poisons from the blood.
Sweating, by hard work or in a bath.
at least once a week, helps to keep the
skin and kidneys in good condition.
Flush the kidneys by drinking plenty
Of pure water with meals and between
meals. Occasionally obtain at the drug
store Anuric, double strength, which
will help flush the kidneys and the in
testines. You will find that Anuric Is
many times more active than lithia
and that 1t dlssolves uric acid as hot
water does sugar.

Only a very small proportion of the
orchards in the South have been ia
fected, and those in Arizona and Cali
tornia have escaped completely. De-
spite the cOntagiousness of the dis
ease, infected orchards can frequently
be cleansed without the loss of very
many trees. 1t Is essential, however,
that eradication work should begin
Immediately after the discovery of the
infection. Any owner who has reason
to suspect that canker exists in his
groves should close them to all visitors
n should see that neither he nor his
men visit other groves. Whenever pos
sible, he should send for a state spe-
cialist to ascertain definitely whether
the trouble is or is not canker. If no
specialist is available, a few infected
leaves may be picked up, wrapped in
paper, sealed in a heavy envelope, and
forwarded either to the state author
tiles or to the United States depart
ment of agriculture. The owner should
thoroughly wash his hands in a disin-
fectant solution after picking these
leaves.
In a majority of cases the disease af-
fects first the leaves. 1t causes red
dish brown spots raised slightly above
the level Of the healthy surface and
frequently surrounded by a rather in
distinct, narrow, yellowish zone. Be-
fore breaking through the leaf surface,
the cankers are smooth and almost
waxy, but afterwards have n corky ap-
pearance. Illustrations accompany
the article In the yearbook already
mentioned In order to assist owners
In detecting the presence of the infec-
ton.

Curculio may be controlled by
spraying. Mix two pounds of lead
arsenate paste in 80 gallons of water.
Add to this the milk obtained from
two pounds of fresh lime. The first
application should be made when the
calyxes are first shed from the bios
sons. In about three weeks a second
application should be made. If it IS
necessary to spray for brown rot the
lead arsenate should be mixed with
each 30 gallons of the self-boiled lime
sulphur.
If n has only a few trees and does
not want to provide spraying equip
ment, the curculio may be Jared from
the trees In the early morning when
they are sluggish. Spread a sheet be-
meath the tree and strike the trunk
with a padded mallet. The insects can
be collected from the sheet and trans
ferred to a dish of kerosene.

SPRAY FOR CURCULIO
WeevQ Does Considerable DAM
age to Peach and Plum.
" Fallen Fruits Are Destroyed and
Ground Under Trees Cultivated
Most of Grubs viii Be Killed
Cut Out Dead Wood.

The curculio damage plums and
peaches considerably In Florida. It
is a small weevil and, like all mem
bers Of the family, has a long snout
with which it punctures the young
fruits. According to ]. r. Watson, en-
tomologist to the University of Flor
ida station, 1t makes two kinds Of
punctures, n for feeding and one for
eggs. The feeding puncture shows
merely a small hole In the skin, but
may be a large cavity beneath the sur
face.
The egg puncture Is a slit-like pit
large enough to receive the eggs. I'm
mediately under this pit is a small
crescent-shaped slit which projects
slightly inward and under the eggs.
The injured fruit soon drops. Aft
er a period of development the grubs,
which have Matched from the eggs,
leave the fruit and enter the ground
for pupation. If the fallen fruits are
destroyed and the ground under the
trees Is cultivated, most of the grubs
will be killed. They do not burrow
deeply and deep cultivation is not nee
essary. In Florida the land should be
worked until July.
Adults winter In trash under the
trees, hence this should be DESTROYED.
Trees should be pruned. All dead
wood should be taken out and the tree
head be opened to admit sunlight.

Airplane Bill
Becomes a Law
President Wilson Signs Bill Appropriate
ing $64O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, July a. The
$6+o, 900, 900 airplane bill became
law today with President Wilson's
signature.
This immense appropriation is
only the beginning OF preparations
for the campaign intended to over
whelm Germany from the air.
More than 40, 900 planes are to be
built as first increment and there
will be many thousands OF aviators.
The first task will be the instruc-
tion of the vast army OF American
flyers.
Germany, realizing the danger
OF the air campaign, already is
feverishly building airplanes to
fight the fleets coming to over
whelm her. The element OF speed
is, therefore, foremost in building
the American fleet.
Large quantities OF spruce which
will be needed for airplanes will be
supplied at the rate of Sro5 per
one thousand feet, about half the
price paid by many manufacturers,
under an agreement reached today
between government representa-
tives and spruce producers. The
low price will apply to private
manufacturers with government
and allies contracts, as we'll as 10
direct government purchases.
