be fulfilled before the close of the
wear. The governments momentary
requirements were never greater nor
more pressing than they are today
Expenditures for November were
greater than in any similar period.
These expenditures growing out of
the war must be met by borrowing
from the people and their magnificent
response heretofore to the govern
ment's requirements make me conf
dent that they will not fail to con-
tinue their support to the end that all
payments resulting from war necessi-
ties will be promptly met. Much re-
mains to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes.
This is not time for us to relax our
efforts and the treasury department
is making plans for larger and even

Sweet Potato Seed in Florida

If fungoid diseases Of useful
plants always led to more care
full selection of seed, they might
prove blessings in disguise. The
greatly increased value of the
sweet potato crop has caused the
United States Department of Ag-
Iriculture to urge the farmer to Sc
Ilect seed from the best yielding
hills and, above all, to examine
each tuber for indications of the
presence of stem end rot or other
diseases, avoiding the use of any
at all suspicious.
If the grower will select only
from those hills yielding the most
potatoes and then use only the
best of these for seed, marketing
all abnormally large or small, the
quality of succeeding crops will
be greatly improved. The contin-
ued use for seed of only the small
est has gradually brought the
sweet potato to such state of de-
generacy that in unfavorable sea-
sons, like that of last year, the po-
tatoes are sometimes mere strings.
If, after such careful selection,
further care be taken to store the
seed as well as the market crop in
suitable curing houses and to OBJ
serve directions given to prevent
rot in storage, it would add great
ly to the wealth Of the grower and
the desirability of this prolific
crop.
Seed and bud selection, none
can doubt, if consistently follow
ed, will vastly improve the a.
mount and quality of every crop
the farmer grows. In animal hus-
bandry, everyone is now aware Of
the Importance of selection, as
shown in the demand for pedi-
greed animals and fowls. Our
vegetables and fruits can be SINH
Iarly improved by extending the
same care to them. The broad |

would not sprout. Not all of the
potatoes carried over from the
spring crop will sprout. There is,
however, usually enough in a
stock left over that can be select
ed with sprouts already started F;
these if picked out are almost sure
to grow off rapidly and produce
a fair stand, but this fact being
neglected is one of the main rea-
sons for poor stands of fall grown
potatoes. 1t is not even necessa-
ry to preserve the sprouts already
started, as on placing the tubers

ness on the part of the farm hands
or to labor that does not bring re-

maximum production and the
farmer must handle his crops
with a smaller crew. In the end
he will profit by getting the work
done more promptly and having
it under better control. The la

The First WAR Bread" Recipe

"War bread" is far from being
a new measure to conserve food
resources. The Children of Israel,
when they defended Jerusalem a.
gainst siege, were advised by f.
Ezekiel to utilize every possible
means Of supplementing their
wheat supplies and that was more
than 2,400 years ago. A writer
has revived Ezekiel's recipe, as
follows:
GA thirteenth century com
mentator, David Kimchi, drew at
tention to the verse in Ezekiel
which said, Take thou also unto
thee wheat and barley, and beans,
and lentils, and millet, and fitches
and put them in one vessel and
make the bread thereof The
prophet, commented Kimchi,
thus warns the disobedient Chill
dren of Israel that during the
siege of Jerusalem they will no
longer be able to make their
bread with pure wheat, but they
will have to mix with it all kinds
of grain and vegetables with
which flour is not made unless ex-
IRENE need makes it necessary to
do So Whatever Ezekiel may
have meant by his advice to the
Children of Israel, he furnished
"a recipe for war bread which is
pretty certainly the oldest extant
IN the world, David Kimehi's |
comment is 500 years old, and E.

Fall Planting Irish Potatoes

These past two years have dem
onstrated beyond all question tina
1.-THE Irish potato is staple crop il
Florida. From the extreme ives
to the most southern parts o
FLORIDA, Irish potatoes wer'
grown last spring and while thu
crop met with unfavorable mar
ketS it was generally good, which
established the fact that there i!
no further question as to it's a
daptation to Florida conditions
and soils.
The results of planting indicate
that the spring crop is usually the
most profitable because it comes
on the market when there is a
greater demand for the new pota-
toes, and as it is cool weather
plant, does best during the cooler
months Of the year. However, no
one should plant a fall garden
without at least small plat of l.
IRISH potatoes. For the middle and
northern portions of Florida
planting should be done before
the middle of September; if de-
ferred until later than this the
probability of frost during the lat
ter part of November may make
the crop uncertain. A. P. Spen-
Ger, vice-director extension divis-
ion, University of Florida, states
that in the northwest portion of
Florida farmers will find it advis-
able to plant early in August.
This gives 80 days before the first
frosts appear and an assurance of
a fairly good crop.
For fall planting one should ex-
ercise care in selecting the soil.
The white sandy lands that have
little or no humus and are very
sensitive to drought are mot Suita-
Die for the fall crop. If one has
lark soil with fair amount of
moisture, he can expect a crop
hat will give on the average good
'eturns.
The planting should be as near
evel as possible to admit frequent
cultivation. The seed should be
'lanted 8 or 4 inches deep. While
10 very extensive experiments
ave been made it is generally
onceded that the small potatoes
rom the spring crop are the most
kelly to give the best returns.
Disappointment in a good stand
rom the fall crop may have been
aused by planting potatoes that

Watch for Rust Mites

One of the most expensive
guests the Florida citrus grower
entertains in his grove is the rust
mite. This minute pest cuts Sc.
riously into the profits of the own.
er, according to Prof. j. r. Wat
on, entomologist, Florida Expert.
ment Station.
The rust mite is very small in
sect barely visible to the naked
eye and to find it one must use a
lens and under the lens it will ap-
pear to be long, tapering, yellow
wedge, with short legs and moves
very slowly. If rust mites are very
numerous on the fruit they give it
q mealy or powdery appearance.
These rust mites multiply rapidly
in dry weather, and may appear
any time before the fruit is ma
turc.
The effect of the rust mite is to
destroy the bright color of the
fruit, causing the well known rus
seted fruit which brings a lower
price than bright fruit. 1t re-
duces the size of the fruit; it re-
tards the ripening of the fruit and
interferes with the working of the
leaves, thus iniuring the trees.
The remedy is sulphur in some
form. Perhaps the most satisfac-
tory is ordinary commercial lime
sulphur in the proportion of one
part to 10 of water. Besides kill
ing the rust mite, this solution ap-
parently has a stimulating effect
upon the fruit, causing it to color
up and ripen more rapidly. A
quicker and cheaper method is to
blow sulphur dust through the
trees. This is usually done by
means of a large "blower." 1t is
better to mix this with lime, either
hydrated or air slaked. The sui
phur does the work by giving off
sulphur dioxide gas as result of
the oxidation of the sulphur, and
IS, therefore, a sort of fumigation
process and will kill rust mites
not actually hit.
The paraffin oils so extensively
used to kill whitefy and purple
scale will also kill all rust mites
nit, bat lack the ability of the sui
phur to kill at a distance.
The time to spray is when the |
rust mite shows itself. Prof. |
Watson states that June and No
yember are usually the most crit
cal months, but the insect may
appear at anytime and those who
expect to have bright fruit should
watch for the insect at almost any
season and especially following a
Try period.

Facts About Texas Cattle il
Florida

after spending about thre
weeks in northern and western
Florida looking over the Texa
cattle that were shipped into thi
state, in the fall of 1917, | am con
WINGED that it is safe and profita
BILE undertaking." states Mr.. VIM
I'll. Black, beef cattle specialist
extension division, University Of
Florida.
From a total Of 1860 head
consisting of Herefords, Short.
horns and Angus, scattered exten.
sively over the state, | have seen
935 head, in addition to the calves
that have been dropped in Flori-
ola. These cattle were seen on "a
different farms, covering a wide
territory. Generally speaking the
condition of the cattle was very
favorable; some few were a little
thin, the result of poor pasture
and ticks combined.
"As a rule, the pastures have
been little short and not suffi-
clent to satisfy both cattle and the
ticks. The ticks are always served
first, as they sap the cows blood
before it can be transformed into
animal flesh. Where dipping was
practiced regularly, I found no
fever.
"From this number of cattle
seen on the "a farms, total of
IL deaths were reported, which
makes a mortality loss of less than
| IL percent. This loss was at
tributed to tick fever in most ev-
cry case and in herds where the
cattle were badly infested with
ticks and where dipping was not
carried out Systematically.
81 am of the opinion that it is
a good proposition to bring in the
cattle from Texas to improve the
herds OF Florida and that ii the
ticks are kept off and the cattle
given a little care and feed in the
winter, the losses will be reduced
to a minimum.
"There is a good opportunity !
at this particular time to secure
good Texas cattle, as the pasture
conditions in Texas are very Sc
rious. Those who buy now will /
not be taking the risk that buyers
took year ago, as they did not
know just how the cattle would a.
dapt themselves. We do know i
now that conditions in Florida are Il
very suitable to the beef breeds, !
as shown by these cattle that have
been in Florida for year or more. (,
