Should be Prohibited

The Florida Live Stock Asso-
citation at its recent meeting at
Kissimmee passed a number of
resolutions that show the associa-
ton is awake to what will help
and what is hurting the state.
Among these resolutions meet
ing our hearty approval is one
which touches on a matter that
should, if not comfortable other
wise, be made a matter of legiSla-
tive prohibition.
The resolutions reads as fol-
lows:
Whereas the sale and distribu-
ton of post cards and illustrations
purporting to show Florida razor
back hogs, piney woods rooters,
rattlesnakes, piney woods cattle
and alligators lying in wait for
pickaninnies or feasting upon
them, are destructive advertising
for the livestock development in
Florida, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Florida
Livestock Association, in conven-
ton assembled at Kissimmee, Jan
uary IA to 16, 1919, protest the
sale and distribution of such post
cards and illustrations and urge
upon all chambers of commerce
and other civic organizations in
Florida their hearty cooperation
in discouraging such unfavorable
advertising for their respective
communities, and be it further
"Resolved, That we do all in
our power to encourage the sale

Another good resolution passed
by the State Live Stock Associa-
ton at its recent meeting at Kis-

doubt that the legislature will
have the moral courage to act up
on it. 1t is as follows:
"Whereas, there are a large
number of dogs that are allowed
to run at large in the state of
Florida with practically no re-
straint and whereas such dogs
frequently do great damage to

CONTROL TOMATO DISEASES
Begin Precautions Before Plant
ing, Continue All Season

knowledge of precautionary
measures to avoid crop diseases is
highly important to tomato grow
ers. Tomatoes are subject to many
diseases, any one of which may be
sufficiently serious to ruin the en-
tire crop, or at least to preclude
the possibility Of making profit
on the season s work. These few
measures stated briefly by G. D..
Sherbakoff of the University of
Florida experiment station should
be observed by all growers.
Use the best seed obtainable;
free from disease, if possible.
Choose a seed-bed soil not prev
iously useed for growing tomatoes
or related crops; or, better still, a
soil sterilized with steam or for
malin.
Spray plants in the seed bed
and in the field with a good fungi
eide, such as bordeaux mixture
Apply thoroughly about every ten
days. For spraying in the seed
bed use the $3.50 bordeaux form
ula, increasing the strength to A
SO or $3.50 for field spraying. The
stronger concentration is prefer
able only in controlling early
blight or rust. Spraying in the
field may not be necessary during
periods of drouth.
Keep in check the various in
sects at work on the plants. This
may be done by adding to every
fifty gallons of bordeaux mixture
half pint Of Black Leaf $40"
and one pound of zinc arSenate. If
spraying is not p"acticed, dust the
plants with a mixture of tobacco
dust, zinc arsenite or lead arsen-
ate, and flowers of sulphur.
Where plants are likely to suf-
fer by drouth, some means for ir-
rigating should be provided. I'll
this is impracticable, plant and
cultivate in the best way to con-
serve soil moisture.
On low lands, the plants should
be staked.
Nitrate of soda is preferable to
other forms of nitrogen Cannon
ia) for fertilizing tomatoes. Avoid
a heavy application of stable man
ure. Do not use potassium chic
ride, nor manure or compost con-
tanning old tomato vines.
Keep the field in a sanitary con-
dition. Examine it regularly and
remove all rotted fruit and sickly |
plants and destroy them by burn
ing or burying. If buried, they
should be, covered with disin-
fectant,' such as lime.
Practice crop rotation. The less
often tomatoes follow tomatoes or
related crops, the less likely is the
crop to become diseased.
While the observance of these
precautions will not guarantee
crop free from disease, it will go
far in that direction.

The second class scout trains her powers of observa- ton by playing games that require quick eye and dependable memory, such as noting at a glance the con tents of a shop window, the appear ance of passersby in the street. or the game of tracking and stalking in the open For handwork, the second class scout learns to lay and light a ire in a stove, in a gas stove or in
 the open, using not more than two matches. Having made her fire, she learns to cook simple dishes, such as cereals, vegetables, meats, fish, or eggs. She learns to set a table prop erly for two courses. She learns to make and air bed properly, and she
 learns to make a bed for an invalid. The second-c1ass scout also learns to sew a seam, hem, darn, either knit or crochet, and she must present d garment made by herself which dem onstrates her skill a needlewoman. For health knowledge, the second closs scout demonstrates her ability to stop bleeding, to remove grit from
 the eye, to treat ivy poisoning to bandage a sprained ankle, to remove a splinter, and she must know the scout laws of health. For helpful ness, she is required to apply what she learns for the benefit of others, in service rendered to the troop, school, home, church, or community. Thrift is encouraged in the second class scout test, inasmuch as the girl is required to earn or save enough to purchase some personal or troop equipment Scouts of the second class take pride in drilling with snap and precision.
 A first-class scout is almost a grown-up woman, capable of bearing the responsibilities that will come to her in her own home and In the com munity. The tests require that she be trained to higher efficiency in headwork, handwork, health knowl- edge, and helpfulness. It is the am bition of every Girl Scout to reach the rank of a frst-class scout, when she may work for the highest honor of all, the Golden Eaglet badge, for which the requirements have been raised from A points of proficiency badges to 21 points. Twenty-six scouts in the United States have won the Golden Eag1et under the If point ruling.

AMERICAN DYES SAID ID BE OF
 BEST QUALITY
Miss Green Explains Uses and Shows Ways of Tint
 ing Materials.

The Use of Home Dyes was demon strated yesterday afternoon al the Food Hut on State street. An ac- tual demonstration of the dyeing of wool, silk, cotton, and linen was car ried through and garments which had been dyed and tinted were shown to illustrate the points made by Miss Gladys R. Green. The ladies pres ent were told about the manufacture of dyes, and 1t was explained that the American dyes which are now being sold in this country are as good as the German dyes we bought before the war.
 For permanent and dark co1ors, Miss Green advised boiling the ma teria1 in the dye, while for fabrics which would be injured or shrunk by boiling, tinung was suggested. This Is done by merely washing the ma terial with one of the soap or flake dyes, or using the tinting powders in the rinse waters, which are similar to blueing.
 For articles which would be injur- ed by water, gasoline dye is very sat isfactory. The gasoline dye is merely tube paint which is soluble in gaso- line. The paint is dissolved in gaso- line until the desired shade is obtain ed and the article to be dyed is dip ped into the liquid. This is used for ostrich feathers and flowers for hats and even an entire hat may be tinted in this way.
 This afternoon a canning and pre- serving demonstration is being held at the Hut. Those who are inter ested in canning and jelly making are reminded that bulletins on these subjects are being distributed at the Hut.
