Turpentine for Parasitic Worms

Turpentine is good worm rem
edy for hogs. Give one teaspoon
full for every one hundred pounds
live weight. The turpentine can
be mixed with four ounces of lin
seed oil in combination with the
mornings feed. The remedy
should not be repeated oftener
than three times a week and al
ways at intervals of a week, says
the University of Florida exten-
sion division.
In order to prevent the hogs
from reinfesting themselves it is
recommended that they be kept
for at least twenty-four
hours after the remedy has been
given and that the expelled
worms and the egg-containing
feces be gathered up at intervals
and destroyed by burning. IF

Use Two-Horse Implements

The kind of implements used on
the farm has much to do with the
amount of labor required, says the
University of Florida extension
division. The one-horse farmer
who needs the help Of another in
order to give his crops the neces-
sary number of civilizations to in
sure maximum growth and pro-
.duction might get that help by
buying a two-horse cultivator
which he can handle alone with
the help of another horse or mule.
One two-horse implement will be
get another, so that it will not be
long before the whole problem of
labor on that farm will have been
solved.
A one-horse implement has no
place in the early cultivation of a
large field clear of stumps and
planted in long rows. In keeping
step with the war program, two
horses are better than one.

Visited by Airplanes

Eight airplanes from the Area
dia aviation camps attracted un-
usual attention here, Saturday
morning, when they circled over
the town for about two hours.
They came in succession, one af-
ter another, but occasionally there
were two or more overhead at
once. They flew rather high,
maybe a mile up, but the buzzing
of their motors was distinctly
heard, and it was this buzzing
that first attracted the attention
of our citizens.
Business was abandoned for the
time being and every body rushed
into the street to witness the spec
tacle presented by these machines
circling gracefully overhead. The
sun was shining brightly and tax
ed the eyes of those who persisted
in gazing at Uncle Sans mechan-
ical condors.
Punta Gorda ought to prepare
a landing place for airplanes, as
Fort Meade, Moore Haven and
other places have done, and then
our people could have close view
Of those that favor us with visits.

Arcadians Here Sunday

Mr.. and Mrs. f. Morqus of Ar
cadia, came here Sunday in their
car and brought with them a par,
ty of young ladies and aviation
soldiers. just after noon, they
went down on the town dock and
had picnic lunch, which in
cluded cake and ice cream. Some
of the party went in bathing
others contented themselves with
being spectators.
There was a large number of
Arcadians and aviators here Sun
day, and we tried to get all their
names, but failed. The following
are a few of those who favored
Punta Gorda with visit.

the injury they would infict dur
ing their growth is prevented. "
Mr.. Watson says the dates of
emergence of these broods vary
with the year, the grove, and the
latitude, but in general, the adults
of the first brood are mostly on
The wing in March and early A.
pril, of the second brood in June,
and of the third brood in August.
One should record the date when
the flight of the adults begins to "a
bate, wait ten days, and then
spray. The ten-day period gives
the majority of the eggs time to
hatch. T h e spring spra yin G
should be delayed until the young
oranges are at least as large as
hickory nuts, to avoid injury from
the oil used. This will bring the
spring spraying early in May, on
the average
In the fall, again ten days after
the main flight of adults is over,
the grower should spray with the
oils. This time for spraying will
usually come in September.
"These two sprayings with in
secticidcs will usually suffice for
bearing grove" says Mr.. Watson.
I'm a young grove, where the
fungi do not thrive on account of
a lack of shade, the grower may
need to spray again in July. If
the scales, particularly the red
scale, have become abundant, two
sprayings may be necessary.
The best insecticides for both
these pests are the paraffin oils.
Spraying must be thorough. AL
though the whitefies are confined
chiefly to the undersides of the
leaves, the scales are found on all
parts of the trees.
Under normal weather condi-
tions the summer broods of white
flies and scales, greatly reduced
by the May spraying, can usually
be controlled by the parasitic fun
gi. At the beginning of the rainy
season the grower should spray
into his trees the spores Of the red
and brown whitefy-f fungi, and the
black, red, and gray-headed scale
fungi. The red one can be OBJ
tanned from the State Plant
Board, Gainesville.

Florida Immune

Again we are impressed with
he remarkable freedom Florida
enjoys from the distressing up
heavals of nature or destructive
action of the elements from which
almost all other sections suffer.
California, with it's vaunted at
tractions-and it is undoubtedly
a state Of great attractions-has
again been torn with destructive
earthquakes. We cannot conceive
of anything more terrifying than
these natural convulsions, and we
should think people living where
they are liable to occur would be
in constant dread of them. There
is no record of Florida having
ever been affected by a seismic
shock. In this, as in many other
ways this section is singularly
favored.-Lakeland Telegram.

INSTRUCTIVE FIGURES
BY MARION co. MAN
Good Advice from L. S. Light of
Reddick, Fla.
ABOUT NATIONS CORN CROP
Short for Three Years Past, in
Which Time Prices Have Ad-
vanced from 75c. to $1.54 per
Bushel, Making Corn Most Pro-
fitable Crop.

L. S. Light of Reddick, Fla,
has been making a study of the
United States Monthly Crop Re-
port for March, and picks out
some very important facts and
figures. His deductions and find
ings are to the effect that Florida
farmers should plant corn this
yeapSmuch more than ever before.
He says in a communication to
the Florida Metropolis that the
corn crop in the United States on
March / was in round numbers a
bout 250,000,000 bushels short of
1917 same date; 225, 100000 bush
els short of 1916 same date; $780,
100000 short of 1915 same date.
"He says there is but 60.3 per
cent. of last years crop on hand;
in 1917 same date there was 83.9
per cent. of the crop on hand;
I'll per cent in 1916 and 84.5 per
cent. in 1915.
"This proves that the crop is
short, and there is a large quanti-
ty being consumed.
"The price of corn March l,
1915, was ISL cents per bushel;
in 1916, 68.2 cents per bushel; in
1917 it was 1909 cents per bushel;
while in 1918 same date, it was
1543 cents per bushel.
"Thus, with less supply ON
hand, with a larger demand, with
nearly double the average price of
corn as on the same date in former
years, and with many corn eleva-
tors in the state, cash market
for our corn in the state, when our
gathering season is the shortest
in the nation and price the high
est, now is the time to plant corn.
Plant your cabbage, Irish pota-
to, bean and lettuce patches in
corn. Corn will pay better than
or Irish potatoes, lettuce,
etc. Plant corn. Plant good seed,
cultivate with care. 1--WE need big
crops this year"

Community Kitchens Canned

Community Kitchens, where sur
plus vegetables and fruits are can
med under cooperative arrange
ments, were operated last year in
Ohio, Pleanants, Kanawha, Jeffer-
son, and, to some extent, in other
counties of West Virginia. The
kitchens were supervised by the
home demonstration agents of the
extension division of the State IT,
University.
In the city of Charleston, where
a kitchen was opened in July, the
number who brought products to
be canned increased from Sc wo-
men during the second week to
several times that number In a
short time.
Supplementing the work of the
Charleston kitchen are about IS
volunteer women who, under the
of the home demon
stration agent of Kanawha coun-
ty, established temporary field
kitchens in the rural communities,
to which the women bring their
surplus vegetables and fruits. The
county agricultural agent and his
assistants give active aid in con-
nection with this work.
As result of this effort, large
quantities of food were conserved,
much of which would otherwise
have been wasted.

SPRAY FOR CITRUS PESTS
Paraffin Oils Will Control Both
Scales and Whitefiies

Citrus scales and whitefies
present but single problem in
bearing groves where both are
present, as the best insecticides
for the one are the best for the
other. Furthermore" j. R. Wat
son of the University of Florida
experiment station points out,
"there exists between them a re-
lation of cause and effect, since
a heavy infestation of whitefies
is likely to be followed by a mark
ed increase in the number of
scales present.. particularly the
common purple scale,
"The reason for this relation is
that the sooty mold which grows
in the honey.dew given off by the
whitefies acts in part as a protec-
ton to the scales. In their efforts
to avoid light, the young scales
crawl under anything that affords
them shade, as the calyx of the
fruit, or into the shadow of fruit
when two are touching. A loose
ly-ftting covering of sooty mold
makes an ideal retreat.
"In the majority of groves,
where both whitefies and scales
are present, the spraying schedule
should be adapted primarily to
the whitefies," continues Mr..
Watson. "There are three main
broods Of the common whiteflies
and the grower should take meas
ures to combat each brood. Spray
ing is best done when the insects
are in the early larval stages, for
two reasons; the larvae are more
EASILY killed at that time, and |

ment Sermon.-Able Address to
Graduating Glass by DR.. Mon
tague.- Patriotism Pervaded
Entire Program.

The public school closed last
Friday, after three nights Of en-
tertainment. All the exercises
were good and, on each occasion,
the auditorium was filled. Men
ton has been made in this paper
of the excellent sermon preached
by Rev. T. r. Woodson on Sum
day and of the exercises of the de-
partment of music.
Thursday evening the gradual
ing exercises took place in the au-
ditorium. The stage was tastlly
decorated with ferns and ever
greens and choice flowers to
represent the class colors, red,
white, and blue. The program
was of a patriotic nature. DR.. A.
p. Montague, President of Colum-
bia College addressed the gradu-
ates on the subject Of Patriotism
and Education. He spoke elo
quently and seemed to be at his
best, bringing out the fact that
the education of the head and not
the heart has produced the Ger
man Kultur," which educates a
person to be a criminal.
Special mention should be made
of a vocal solo rendered by Mrs.

test in response to an offer, made
through the columns of this pa
per, of fve-dollar war saving
stamp. A grading committee had
been appointed by the trustees
consisting of Mayor S. F. j. Ira
bue and DR.. A. p. Montague. The
decision was in favor of Miss
Florence Robinson and the war
stamp was presented to her.
Friday night consisted of Sc
lections from the grammar grades
and all acquitted themselves cred
itably. The auditorium was filed
to its capacity and was not ade-
quate to seat all the people who
wished to see the exercises. The
Shoemaker Song" and the en-
thusiastic way the primary grade
sang it, put the audience in a
thorough good humor; also the
fairy drill, in which little Miss
Dorothy Mobley impersonated the
fairy, received favorable ap-
plause.
The fifth, sixth and seventh
grades in a pageant representing
Columbia and the original thir-
teen states, made a special feature
Of the program and showed care

Skipper and Mrs. Willis.
The eighth grade occupied the
remainder of the program, open

recitation by Bonnibel Boykin,
the salutatorian, followed by an
essay read by Thelma Davis, val
edictorian, after which the diplo-
mas were presented by Principal
