japanese Wedding, Great Success

The japanese Wedding given
last week for the benefit of the E.
piscopal church was a great sue
cess both from an artistic and f.
nancial standpoint. At an early
hour the house was crowded, ev-
eryone wishing to see this unique
Oriental ceremony, which was car
ried out in every detail as a high
class japanese wedding.
The stage presented a beautiful
appearance with its decorations of
japanese flags and lanterns, with
cherry-blossoms intertwined. In
the background the screens and
low benches gave the necessary
touch, while several tea-tables
showed the Importance of this ar
ticle, which is almost sacred part
of Japanese life. During the GER
emory weird strains of Japanese
music were played, also selections
from the Mikado." The japan
csc Love Song afterwards sung by
Mr., Bowman was a great success,
and was delightfully."- given.

to reduce the tendency to adhere.
Yet this precaution will be use
less unless the seedbed is made on
a soil where no elephants were
grown previously or on soil ster-
ilized with steam or formalin.
1t is also essential that the
plants be transplanted to a field
where elephants have not been
grown for several years, especial
ly if the disease was present last
season. 1t is not known how long
the disease-producing fungus re-
mains active in the soil, yet obser-
walton leads to the belief that it
will remain from year to year.
Abandoning the field to other
crops is the best way of avoiding
serious loss to the eggplant crop.
Every young eggplant should be
examined carefully before setting
it into the field. If it shows any
shrinkage or discoloration of the
stem tissues at the level of the
ground discard it.
New land is free from this egg
plant disease, but will be quickly
infected if the foregoing precau-
tons are not observed. If the dis
ease appears in the field with indi-
cations of it's becoming serious,
spray with bordeaux mixture, A
50 formula, every other week. 1t
will help reduce the amount of the
disease and prevent it's spread.

p VENT EGGPLANT DIS
EASES
Clean Seed and Seeded Are Two
of the Important Measures

Two of the most important
measures that can be observed by
the trucker in growing eggplants
are, use only disease-free seed, and
make the seedbed on sterile soil
one free from disease germs.
Another of perhaps as great i'm
portance is to set the plants into a
field where elephants have not
been grown for several years.
These are the chief measures
recommended by the University of
Florida experiment station.
Most of the diseases commonly
affecting elephants, such as, leaf
spot, fruit spot and rot, stem can
ker, dry collar or foot rot, tipover,
and damping off, are caused by
the fungus Phomopsis vexans. The
name of the fungus is of no great
Importance but the fact that it
may be present in his seedbed soil |
or in his field is highly important |
to the trucker. A profitable crop
can not be produced if the fungus
attacks the plants severely.
Few if any seed houses will |
guarantee eggplant seed to be free
from the fungus. For this reason |
purchased seed should be disin-
fected by soaking them in 1000
corrosive sublimate solution for
ten minutes and then rinsing them
at once in running water for a.
bout fifteen minutes Immediately
before planting If the seed are
TO be dropped with a planter they
may be spread on a fine screen in
breezy place and dried quickly.
Dry just enough so that they will
not stick to the planter. Clean
starch can be mixed with the seed

Useless Dogs Must Go

The sentiment for getting rid of
useless dogs seems to be growing
in favor all over the country. 1t
is a desirable growth. Hundreds
of useless dogs are being protected
throughout the State and consume
an astonishingly large amount of
food. 1t is not so noticeable in the
country and in small towns, but
in the cities where dogs are fed
largely on prepared foods, the
cost is far from negligible.
Most of these dogs are worth
less. Some are diseased and spread
disease. Others are vicious. They
are responsible to a great extent,
says the University of Florida ex-
tension division, for the death Of
sheep in the State. This is one of
the most serious charges against
the worthless dog, for he discour-
ages the production of mutton and
wool at time when both are bad
ly needed.
The latest report of the Commits
sioner of Agriculture for Florida
places the number of sheep killed
by dogs in the years 1855 at g.
ISL, In the same period, 1923
lied of disease and 1907 died of
exposure. Dogs caused the death
If more than forty percent of the
heep that died on the farms.
Because sheep are usually car
led on poor ranges, it would not
e profitable to build dog-proof
ences around the focks. The
heaper method to handle the
heep-killing dog is for the State
o tax him out of existence.

The cast included some of the
most popular young people in
town, all of whom looked most
charming in their handsome CO.'S
tunes. That they looked so thor
oughly Japanese was due to the
clever work Of Mrs. Meadow, who
made the features distinctly ORR
entail. Mrs. Bishops assistance in
the coiffures was also very effect
i've.
The parts of the Bride and
Groom were taken by real bride
and groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Ivan
Jordan, who looked most attract
i've and carried their roles with
charming dignity. To Mr.. Law
renee Robinson, as the CODE
tween, fell the burden of the cere-
mony, which he represented with
delightful ease, the complex de-
tails being acted out in a very eff
fective manner. Mr.. and Mrs.
Bowman and Mr.. and Mrs. Bolts
were charming as the Parents
of the Bride and Groom, each
of whom made a striking APP
pearance. The parts of the lovely
bridesmaids were taken by the
Misses Jordan, Hobson, Fitz-Ger-
aid, Hall, Mccain and jackson,
who looked very dainty and COM
pleted a most picturesque ensem-
bic.

which added much to the occa-
ion.

anese cane than formerly. Be-
cause of early and severe frosts,
much of the cane that might have
been available for seed is worth
less. Another condition that must
be guarded against is the planting
of canes infested with the borer
Cane is valuable crop and has
its place on the farm; in fact, too
little of it is generally grown, says
the University of Florida expert
ment station. japanese cane is
proving to be a good forage crop
and an essential in livestock farm
ing where cheap feed is desired.
Once the cane borer becomes es-
tablished in field, control is diff
ficult. For this reason Florida
growers should be very careful not
to introduce the pest into a COM
munity now free from it. A little
carelessness in this respect one
year may result in the loss of
of dollars to the COM
in succeeding years. Dis
semination of the pest is almost
by means of infested seed
canes. Planters should carefully
inspect all seed-canes and any
showing holes should be promptly
burned.

Spray for Citrus Scab

Scab is one of the most serious
citrus pests and it's control de-
ponds on timely spraying, New
growth is very easily infected and
it is often attacked before the
buds are fully open. Infections
are especially liable at this time
because the young shoots are ten
der and less able to resist. If the
tree is rid of scab the new growth
will put out free from contamina-
ton.
The University of Florida ex-
pertinent station advises the grow
ers to get ready to spray. Am
monical solution of copper carbon
ate or bordeaux mixture will con-
troll scab. Mix five ounces of pure
copper carbonate with water to a
thin paste. Add three pintS of
ammonia and pour the whole into
fifty gallons of water. If bor-
1eaux mixture is used it should be
'ather weak, about 3 3 80.
The foliage and old infections
hould be covered with the spray
o kill any spores present. If the
ruit has not been picked from the
rees, use only the ammonical So
ltion, since the bordeaux will dis
olor it.

that, for three days past not single
warrant has been issued and turned

of this unprecedented condition of

prohibition and of war. County

SIGNS OF DISTRESS

y NTO Won Hertling's address to
the German Reichstag may be
read very distinct signs of dis
tress. He bewails the determination
of the allies to continue the war,
terms them hypocrites and places
his trust" in German military lead
erships and the German armies.
There is no more talk of bringing
the enemies to their knees" no more
foolish chatter about German VIC
tory by the sword" The Chancellor
changes his tune and sheds tears of
anguish over what he declares to
be the allied intention to destroy
Germany.
1t is difficult to see beyond the
German border at this time or to
read the truth in the German mind,
but it is not difficult to understand
that the government Is sorely dis
tressed over the failure of the allies
to enter into peace negotiations on
the basis of Germany's present mill
tary position. Germany wants moth
ing now so much as to end the war
and be allowed to keep as much of
her spoils as those around the peace
table would allow. This indicates
but one thing-that German officials
know they cannot win the war on
the West Front. If they had the
faintest notion that they would be
IL och, 1Nn NHrnC
they did the armed forces of the
weaker nations there would be no
talk of peace. If the Kaiser saw
any possibility of winning the world
dominion for which he went to war
by continuing hostilities a year or
two he would be the last man in the
world to talk of ending the conflict.
All the indications are, and Won
Hertling's address is merely one of
them, that Germany knows she can
not win and is desirous of quitting
while the quitting is good" to quote
an officer recently returned from
Europe.
This does not mean that Ger
many's fighting spirit is on the wane,
but that her resources are no longer
equal to the strain put upon them,
while the strength of the allies is
growing in proportion to the devel-
opment of the American war ma
chine. All we have to do is to put
every ounce of effort, energy and en-
thusiasm into the task that is at our
command and Won Hertling's very
apparent fears will be brought to an
early realization. When still mill
tant Germany talks peace the time
is at hand when we must fight harder
than ever. This is no time to think
CT stopping. We have just begun
to fight.

CITY PARK WALKS

character, both pretty and pictur-

possibly, in the spring time when all
mankind feels the stir of the open
