PRUNE CITRUS IN JANUARY
It is the Last of the Best Months
in Which to Do the Work

Citrus growers should remove
all the dead wood from their trees
in December and January. This
is the best season of the year for
pruning as the trees are more
nearly dormant than at any other
time, and if possible, pruning
should be done in this season if
the best results are to be expect
ed, says the University of Florida
experiment station. This is spec
tally true where the trees con-
tain any amount of dead branches
or weak growth. This dead wood
harbors the melanose fungus and
it should be removed from the
trees and destroyed before the
new spring growth and fruit ap-
pear.
A great many trees have suffer-
ed from attacks of withertip the
past season, which is directly re-
sponsible for a large amount of
dead wood in them, and all trees
in this condition should be thor
oughly pruned as soon as possi-
BILE. This will prevent a continu-
alton of withertip in the spring
and will remove an active source
from which melanose may spread
at later date.
All rubbish and drop fruits in
the grove should be taken care of,
either buried so they will not be
brought to the surface when cul-
tivating or removed from the
grove and burned. In groves
where melanose has been severe
the past season the trees should
be thoroughly pruned at this time
and thorough application of bor-
deaux mixture made before the
new growth comes out in the
spring. This will serve as a clean
up spray.
In pruning. clean, smooth cuts
should be made, and no project
ing stubs left. Where large cut
surfaces are exposed, they should
be painted over with some anti
septic, such as avenarius carbo-
lineum, white lead paint, or pine
tar.

Valuable Dye in Artesian Water

1t is a well known fact that
Punta Gorda artesian water
makes an indeliable brown stain
on cotton and linen fabrics, on
porcelain and on concrete floors.
1t requires constant and long ap-
plication of the water to bring
out the stain distinctly; but, when
once it appears, nothing will re-
move it.
This leads to the conclusion
that our artesian water contains
a valuable dye, which ought to
be investigated by some expert
chemist with a view to bringing
it into practical use. If some one
could discover a process to ex-
tract this dye from the water and
put it in shape for commercial
use, it would make him a wealthy
man. "There's millions in it. :"

FOOD RULES STILL IN FoRoE
Severe Penalties to Punish Pro-
fiteering

Orlando, Fla, Dec. 30-Feder
al Food Administrator Braxto1
Beacham has been instructed by
the Washington authorities to us,
every means necessary to proven
profteering by dealers in fooc
and there is no doubt that some
real activity will begin without
delay, as reports reaching him in
dicate that some dealers have TAX
en- undue advantage of the public
and are raising their price beyond
what the Food Administration
terms a reasonable profit"
Repeated warnings have been
issued to acquaint the public with
the fact that the United States
Food Administration is still ac-
tive and in control of certain food
commodities. Erroneous reports
circulated through the country
some time ago to the effect that
the Food Administration would
end on January 1st. The reports
were not authentic, as the Food
Administration remains on the
job, and especially authorized to
deal with fragrant and wrongful
practices on the part of the deal
ers.
While some of the rulings of
the Food Administration have
been repealed completely, the
rules which govern margins of |
profit on food commodities remain
in full force and effect. The in
creased privileges given dealers
by the relaxation of some rulings
should be sufficient to win the
fair-minded dealers to further ef-
forts in behalf of the Food Ad-
ministration. Food Administrator
Beacham declares his intentions
of following up all cases of delib-
crate profiteering by the imposi-
ton of penalties which will have
a lasting effect on violators of the
rules.
Until a formal peace has been
signed by the United States Gov
ernment, the Food Administra-
ton remains in force;- and from
every section of the country, re-
ports indicate that the heavy hand
Of the law is falling on those who
ignore the regulations. That
few in Florida are in danger of
the extreme penalties, cannot be
doubted, as evidence already in
the hands of Administrator
Beacham bears out that fact.

P. H. MCGOWAN, the Times
Unions Washington correspond
ent, writing under date of Dec.
29th, relates:
There is a well known newspa-
per man in Washington, John
Crown, a native of cold Virgin
la" and a valuable adjunct to the
Baltimore Suns Washington
staff Not only is Mr.. Crown
well known and popular, but he
is much valued for his generally
excellent reputation. Ordinarily
nothing can pull him away from
putting over a scoop" on a COM
petitor when it comes to getting
news for this "Sun paper" Now
and then, however, he takes a
notion that he wants vacation
and he takes it. He makes a
quick drive to the city of Balti-
more, via automobile, gets his nee
essary travelling equipment, ETC.,
and he is ready for his hike.
Last week Mr.. Crown was miss
ed from his usual haunts in Wash
ington, where news items turn up
from time to time. Then he re-
turned and told his story, and
here is the way he let it out:
eyes, | have been away and am
not ashamed to say it, for | went
to Gods own country Florida.
Yes, sir, ,Athat is the finest place |
have ever seen in all my life. l
have lived a good many years.,
but Florida has every other state
beat at the start. Let me tell you
what happened; the roads down
there are so good, to say nothing
of the hotels, the people and 9TH
er things that make life worth
living, that | went hundred and
forty miles for a drink over those
roads as smooth as a looking glass.
Whether / got the drink or not
and how badly / wanted it, is an
other matter, though l suspect l
succeeded. The point is that |
took this hundred and forty-mile
auto trip in what was almost
paradise. Fruits of all kinds,
vegetables without limit, magnifi-
cent roads, hospitable people
man alive just as soon as / can
do it | am going there and stay
as long as | live for ! have never
seen a fairer land on the top side
of the earth. There are no words
which would properly describe
that place. The only way is to
go there yourself and you will
never want to leave it. Yes, / am
going again, as soon as | can get
there"

THE FORD OF THE AIR
Runs % Miles on a Gallon OF
Gasoline

The Ford of the Air" is here
1t has been designed and con-
structed by Capt. James V. Mar
tin of New York. 1t will travel
% miles on a gallon of gasoline,
will land in country road, or in
anybody's back yard, will cost no
more to run than the average low
priced auto, yet will give the
speed and carrying capacity of a
first-class airplane.
New and ingenious methods of
construction and trussing greatly
decrease the weight and head re-
sistance. A retractable chassis
fold up like a bird holds it's legs
when in flight By this one de-
vice there is eliminated 11-100
Of the total head resistance of the
airplane, the speed thereby in
creased 10 miles an hour.
Having a span of only 18 feet,
and weighing only $50 pounds
complete with motor, and having
landing speed of only 81 miles
per hour, this plane can land on
and start from almost any coun-
try road.
1t is expected it will sell at less
than $4,000. This low price, and
the low up-keep, destine its use in
the air as Fords are used on land.
1t can carry mail and express, and
the fact that it can land on coun-
try roads permits using it for ru-
raj free delivery of newspapers
and merchandise. The cost of op-
Grafton promises to be as low as it
is in Fords !-DeLand News.

MULLET PROpOGATED
BY ARTIFICIAL MEANS
Successful Experiments Made on
East and West Coasts
SUPPLY WILL BE INCREASED
Problem of Artificial Fertiliza-
tion of the Roe Appears to be
Solyed.--Experimental Hatch
cries at Cedar Keys and West
Palm Beach.

The Shell Fish Commissioner of
] Florida has, apparently, accomp-
lished another thing of great i'm
portance in the matter of definite
ly determining that mullet eggs
can be artificially fertilized and
then planted or hatched, and
when, and where, and how, and
the time in which it may be done.
| Mullet fish constitute the most
important supply of fish of this
state To secure large annual
supply closed season on mullet
fishing of sixty days is provided
for by the state laws. If the eggs
can be taken from the caught null
let and fertilized and then planted
or hatched it is possible to shorten
the closed season or to do away
with it altogether, thereby add
ing millions of dollars to the an
nual catch of fish.
Chas. N. Wesley, deputy shell
fish commissioner, Of West Palm
Beach, who has had years of ex-
perience in the fish Matching busi-
ness, being detailed by j. Asakiah
Williams, the state shell fish COM
missioner, to conduct experiments
in Matching mullet fish eggs near
Cedar Keys, Fla, in an informal
report claims to have by artificial
means, fertilized and planted
twenty-nine million eggs. He
also claims that it takes some
twenty days in which to. hatch
such eggsiR the temperature Of
the water in which he conducted
his experiments and that they can
be hatched in either fresh or
brackish waters. These expert
ments were conducted at a cost
not exceeding 5000, so the Times
Union is advised. AT West Palm
Beach the same deputy has ac-
quired something over a million
more mullet fish eggs with which
he is now experimenting. This in
vestigation is the more. important
for it seems that heretofore moth
ing definite has been determined
along this line regarding the null
let fish.
If these operations and findings
prove to be true, and we have no
reason to doubt them, then by all
means the next legislature should
provide for salt water fish hatch
cry. Mullet fish furnish ripe eggs
in West Florida in September and
at West Palm Beach as late as in
January. By having a floating
fish hatchery artificial fish culture
could begin in West Florida in
September and continue around
the coast until in January. The
cost of construction and operating
such fish hatchery would be lit
tie in comparison with its value to
the state and its fish industry.
Such a hatchery, after the close of
the mullet spawning season,
should be taken to the upper wa
ters of the st. Johns river and
there used to a great advantage in
Matching shad. The Matching of
shad is no experiment but an un-
qualified success where conduct
ed. We should, long since, have
had such hatchery on the st.
Johns river. BY this means a
few thousand dollars invested in
fish culture would add many mil
lion dollars to the states produc-
ton and wealth.
BY all means the next legisla-
ture should carefully consider so
a matter.-Times-U I'm

My dear papa: Today has been
set aside by everybody as
papa 5" day, and we are all
writing letters just as we did on
Mothers day. No doubt that ev.
cry man in the A. E. F. who has
a father still living, is writing a
letter to his dad, and if he is not
so lucky as to still have one, most
of them are writing to some other
father.
| Personally, I'm proud Of you
and consider myself very fortu-
nate in having such a good father
as you are and | know that you
have not only always "done your
bit" by me, but you have done
done more than your bit. And
| IN sorry that Pm not in a posi-
tion to do more than thank you
greatly for all you have done for
me.
AS you know we boys are nevc.
making as "big fuss" over our
dads" as our mothers, but that
ism any sign that we don t love
you just the same.
I'll say that | didn t know how
to appreciate home and father
and mother until | had been in
the A. E. F., then | could appre-
ciate you to the fullest extent.
Mama's last letter tells of you
performing a little operation on
your mustache, and that now you
look like a youngster. ! see now
where you'll just have to have
another picture made and send
me one, so that I'll know you
when | go home. | say this when
| remember how different you
looked several years ago when
you shaved your mustache. But
by the time | get home you will
probably have grown another.
While there hasn't been any
thing at all certain about going
home said to us over here, | have
reason to believe that it will be
several months before I'll be
lucky enough to be handed pass
port, and | will not be surprised
if IN here another year.
However, I'm not worrying and
specializing on the time, as it is
useless. A soldier never knows
and some people say they don't
care either, but / don't, agree
with that statement.
I'm down at the house today.
Am going to the "Cinema with
Monsieur La Fontaine. Sometimes
we have some good American pic
lures as well as some good French
pictures of the war, etc.
He is ready to go now, so I'll
finish this letter when / get back
to the barracks tonight.
Later-We enjoyed the show
very much, especially the war pic
lures; among them a battery of
French "75's" or rs millimeter
canon in action. They are won
derful little guns all right; and al
though only about 3 inches, they
have done more towards
the "boche" than any
other single make of canon or at
least small canon.
We get lots of propaganda pic
lures here, and they accomplish |
their purpose well, too, because
you know that now since the ar
mistice has been signed and
fighting stopped, our people back
home and elsewhere are little in
clined to be too pitiful towards
The boche. I'll tell you pop, that
