Chase After Coal In
Paris Has Funny Side
tI;y Associated I'ress.j

PARIS, March 9..Thc ease after coal
during the recent cold snap when for ten
days the weather lowered around II above
zero Fahrenheit, gave Paris 4 new and
amusing aspect.
There were two difficulties IN the situa-
ton, the scantincss OF the supply of coal
and the lack of distributing facilities.
Men of advanced years and distinguished
air, wearing the red ribbon of the Legion
OF Honor, stood in line alongside modest
washerwomen, servants, and improvidcnt
people of all CLASSES, before the retail
dealers yards. The lady of the house was
also often seen. with her beiewellcd hands
clasped around AN armful of fire wood,
trudging alongside her servant with a
twenty five pound sack of coal on her
shoulder.
Everyone of the vast number of band
carts IN Paris was pressed into service
this was the only means accessible to the
artists of the Latin Quarter, who organ
lied many clubs To raise the price Of d
few sacks of coal and furnish the motive
power in common.
Paris took il all good naturally, except
ing In very rare eases.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CITRUS CANKER
DRASTIC MEASURES PROMISE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN
PROTECTING CITRUS ORCHARDS FROM THIS DISEASE

WASHINGTON, ID. C., March 9.-Citrus
canker can be completely cradicated from
this country If energetic work is contin-
ned for a sufficient length of time, say
specialists Of the U. s. department OF
agriculture. In an article in the 1916
yearbook of the department, ID. X. +. kcl-
herman points out that the inspection and
eradication work which has ben in pro-
gress for the last two years, while ex-
pensive in itself, has yielded encouraging
results, and that this disease is 50 serious
n menace that he cost of combating it
is mall in proportion to the value Of the
property TO be saved.
Citrus canker il described by DIR. KEEL
herman as the most contagious of all
structive Of commercial values. More
drastic precautions have been found nee
cssary in fighting il than are required
by any other plant disease. Not only are
infected trees destroyed by burning, hnt
the ground under the tree is sprayed with
a formalin solution, and it is also advisa-
bic to cd this with apparently healthy
troes in the neighborhood of those infect
ed. The inspectors who do this work are
required TO wear a costume which can be
thoroughly disinfected before and after
visiting each citrus orchard. All the ap-
~uaratus taken into citrus groves, such as
oil cans and pumps, must also be disin-
fected.
Work Of this character j. now being
carried ON comparatively by the L. :. de-
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1917-03-09

partnlent Of agriculture and the states ol
Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and Florida.
Only a very small proportion Of the or
! chards in the South have been infected,
! and those in Arizona and California have
escaped completely. Despite the conta-
'giousness Of the disease, infected orchards
can frequently be cleansed without the
loss Of very many trees. IL il essential
however, that eradication work should be-
gin Immediately after the discovery of the
Infection. Any owner who has reason T.
suspect that canker exists in his groves
should close them to all visitors and
should see that neither he nor his m,-i
visit other groves. Whenever possible, he
should send for n state specialist to n
certain definitely whether the trouble II OF
is not canker. Ii no specialist is ayaila
BILE, a. few infected leaves may be pickle
off, wrapped in paper, sealed in a heav5
envelope, and forwarded either to the stat
authorities or to the u. s. department Of
agriculture. The owner should thorough
~ wash his hands in a disinfectant solu
ton after picking these leaves.
In a majority Of eases the disease af
fleets first the leoves. 1t causes reddish
brown spots raised slightly above the Level
Of the healthy surface and frequently sur
rounded by q rather indistinct, narrow

corky appearance.

tho campaign had started the national
headquarters telegraphed for q fifty
million fund, and the local committee
then voted to send forward 20 per
cent oversubscription and every town
ship was asked to do the same. This
would amount to $4,000 for the county
and would call upon every township
for 20 per cent more than its minimum
allotment, but the money pledged by
the high school boys will be included
to the credit Of each township in the
oversubscription.
To Buy Watches For Soldiers.
The committee also voted to pay for
wrist watches and gifts to soldiers to
the extent Of $3.50 out Of tho surplus
left from the first war fund raised In
the city of Marshalltown. The city
will thus be paying for gifts for all

subscription as the outside precincts
did.
