Citrus canker can be completely
eradicated from this country IL ener.
getic work is continued for a sufficient
length Of time. In an article in the
1915 yearbook of the department, DIR.
4. 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
by burning, but the ground under the
tree Is sprayed with a formalin solu-
don, and 1t is also advisable to do this
with apparently healthy trees in the
neighborhood Of those infected. The
inspectors who do this work are re-
Quired to wear q 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 numnS. mist 01so
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.

Several merchants in Morgan City
and Berwick have made improve
ments in their business buildings.
Several others are planning big
changes. Unless there is a CORES
ponding movement to increase the
residence facilities the business men
may find that their preparations
will be without result unless the new
corners can be located comfortably
within trading distance.

Grapefruit Showing ciru. c.ner Infection.

Only q very small proportion Of the
orchards in the South have been in
fected, and those in Arizona and CALI
fOrnia 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
and should see that neither he nor his
men visit other groves. Whenever pos
sible, he should send for q state spe-
cialist to ascertain definitely whether
the trouble is or is not canker. II no
specialist Is available, few infected
leaves may be picked up, wrapped in
paper, sealed in heavy envelope, and
forwarded either to the state a0thor-
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 majority Of cases the disease af-
fects first the leaves. It causes red
dish brown spots raised slightly above
the level Of the healthy surface and
surrounded by a rather in
narrow. yellowish zone. Be-
fore breaking through the leaf surface,
the cankers are smooth and almost
waxy, but afterwards have corky ap-

Many knitting Circles
Where Women Join
Forces While Doing
A Bit for the Service

| Ones heart is not to be measured
by ones knitting list, nor soldiers
comforts by maiden's industry. The
great big, beautiful cretonne recep-
tacles, vari-colored as butterflies,
frequently conceal an drange-color-
ed sweater instead of gray sock
for convalescent or knitter. It is
difficult for some maidens to pro-
ject their imaginations into season
ahead, and the cold. weather our
soldiers may encounter a few
monkhs from now is not concerning
the girls as they go in and out of our
soda dispensaries to refresh and cool
themselves under electric fans.
The government has asked that
women provide comforts for the
soldiers, the Red Cross Society has
petitioned women to make supplies,
yet there are some who scott at knit
ting and prefer to trust manufac-
turers to furnish soldiers and sailors
comforts. This is not time to
question why, but a time to do or
die. Taking orders from headquar-
ters occasionally is good for soul,
and blind allegiance to government
authority no reproach to any one in
war times.
Many are taking advantage of the
circles and organizations to
acquire the art of knitting, and no
unworthy ambition this that makes
one useful and occupies one happily.
The hour is not yet, though, when
should be used to crafty
'elf. The things to knit to do your
bit are jackets, helmets, wristlets,
socks or Red Cross supplies. When
,hese have been furnished abundant
y, and all have become adopts in the
art Of knitting, there will be time to
spare in which to make things for
ourselves and others not in dire need
# comforts. The reward of knitting
will come with peace, when we may
urn our art to a purpose at home,
md supply self, friends and family
With sweaters, scarfs, boudoir slip

In peace ships are sent to the
southern waters for the winter, but
a war time they may find them
elves in bitterest weather, and the
ailors Who 60 bravely forward to
efend their country should be re-
rendered by the girls at home most

of their duty should be
ecessary to have them exchange the

gave an approximate idea of how long
ago these outbreaks took place. 1t
was brought out at the session that
! the court martial at Wilhelmshaven at
which three OF the mutineers were
condemned to death and the others
sentenced to long prison terms, was
held on August 80.
In the controversy between the
chancellor and Marine Minister Won

tcals on the other, the latter proved
to have decidedly the upper hand
Accused of committing and inspiring
treason. they shouted to their accus-
ers words TO this effect:
IF you had the knowledge and
proofs YOU say you had, why did you
not have us arrested and tried on or
after August 80 when the court mar
tial took placer"
No explanation was Forthcoming.
Hero it is believed that the answer is:
because we did not want to make a
sensation out of 1t and let the outside
world knew"
During the debates that followed
the chancellor's and Capelie's charges
it soon developed that the radicals in
this case command the sympathy OF
the great bulk of reichstag members
Spokesman OF some of the other big
parties frankly asked the government
why 1t was that, having the facts it
asserted it had. 1t did not put the
whole matter up to the reichstag and
