Bernstorff would know that the coast
was clear and that he could hurry to

Following the signal, he would go
to the street, side across it to blind

to a freight elevator. There, for a

man would take him to a floor high IN

Stem End Rot Follows Scale

Scale insects not only damage

are likely to be the forerunncrs of
stem-end rot. Stem-end rot is
aGsed by fungus which is una
bic to enter the fruits except
where a wound or weakened It's
ues give them entrance. That
he disease is usually found at the
stem end is because it finds condi-
tons for entrance favorable there.
Scale insects usually collect at
the stem end and weake.! the It's
sues around the stem. Since the
spores of the fungus are usually
bundant infection is almost sure
to occur if the disease has been in
the grove during a year or two
previous. The fruit drops and
lecay sets in. If infection occurs
ate in the season decay may not
develop until after the fruit is
picked and shipped.
Fl. E. Stevens, plant pathologist
to the University of Florida ex-

that growers watch closely for

merous they should be sprayed
with a good insecticide. Spray

Cor University of Florida.)
WHAT BREED OF SWINE
Farmers Who Ask 1t Must Also
Answer 1t for Themselves

The question, (Which is the
best breed of swine?" can be an
swered by naming any one breed.
Some breeds are superior to 9TH
erS in certain respects, and one
breed may be better adapted than
another to certain local condi-
tons. In general, the chest"
hog is the one the farmer likes the
best, provided it is what his mar
ket demands. He will not make
a mistake, however, if he makes a
selection from the breeds already
established in his locality, says
j. M. Scott of the University Of
Florida experiment station
After the farmer has decided
upon the breed of hogs which he
believes to be the best and most
profitable for him to raise, he
should stick to that breed and en-
deavor to develop it to its highest
possible standard. 1t is impossi-
bic to get the most out of swine
breeding by continually changing
from one breed to another.
There are two distinct types of
swine, the lard and the bacon
types. Swine of the lard type far
outnumber those of the bacon
type in the Uniterd States. The
lard type is preferred by the peo-
pie of this country, consequently
the majority of feeders produce
the rapid fattening, heavily flesh
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-07-18

ed lard type. The principal
breeds of this type are the Poland
China, Berkshire, Chester white,
Duroc-Jersey, and Hampshire.
The Duroc-Jerscy is preferred by
majority of Florida feeders.
In choosing the breeding stock
the factor Of prolifcness should
receive much attention. Select
the stock from large filters. Never
select an animal for breeding pur-
poses, no matter how good an in
dividual it may be, if it comes
from litter numbering only two
or three. 1t will be much more
profitable to choose one somewhat
inferior in certain points, but
which is known to be from a more
prolific strain. The word prolific
means not only large number of
pigs in litter, but also regularity
of breeding.
A SOW may have ten or twelve
pigs at litter, but may breed on
.ly once a year. Another sow may
have seven or eight pigs at lit
ter and breed twice year. With
one SOW you would raise ten or
twelve pigs year, while the 9th
err would raise fourteen or sixteen.
1t is easy to tell which would be
| the more profitable.
When properly handled and
cared for, sows should produce
two filters each a year. The sow
that will produce only one litter
will not be found profitable under
leverage conditions.

KEEP THE SOIL BUSY
Neither the Growing Season Nor
the War is Over

Because Florida has grow
ing and harvesting season ten to
twelve months long, more is ex-
pected of us than of more north
ern states with a shorter product
i've season." says G. X. McQuarrie
of the University of Florida ex-
tension division. "To meet these
expectations and to realize our
full capabilities, we must look at
our farms more in the light of fac
tories for the production of crops
than ever before. We must keep
our factories running at full ca
pacity."
Mr.. McQuarrie believes the
Florida farmer should not be sat
isfied with two crops a year, and
he should not be satisfied with
four if the land will produce five.
The soil should be prepared for
the next crop as soon as one has
been removed, and a little care in
making the seed bed and provid-
ing the necessary fertilizer will, if
the proper crops are planted,
keep the soil working throughout
the entire year.
Diversifcation should be given
a place in every farming program.
Because the soil has produced a
good crop of early corn is no rea-
son for replanting it Immediately
| to Mexican or June corn. Give it
a rest; but while it is resting,
grow a crop of legumes for hay
and to build up the soil. Right
now, the corn fields are ready to
receive paintings Of peanuts and
