INDIFFERENT QUALITY
OF GRAPEFRUIT SERVED
ON DINING CARS

Jacksonville Times-Union.)
Citrus fruit growers Of Florida are
disposed to DO critical Of action by
the United States railroad admins
tration tending to reduce the con-
sumption Of grapefruit on dining
cars carried by trains entering the
state
Travellers report that the grape
fruit served on these diners is o.
quite Indifferent quality and that 20
cents is charged for half a grape
fruit by practically all Of them
though some reports have been made
Of a 15-cent price on lines further
north.
Some years ago there was a con-
certed effort on the part Of the fruit
men Of the state to give travellers
coming to Florida an opportunity TO
eat the superior grapefruit produced
here at reasonable prices with the
result that the railroads, then under
private ownership, agreed to serve
halves for 10 cents and whole ones
for Is cents.
To make it possible for this to be
done without loss to the railways. an
agreement was entered into with
them by Chase and Company the
Florida Citrus Exchange and some
other marketing agencies to furnish
good grapefruit in quantities at
prices which would justify the 10
and 15-cent figures. 1t is said that
seldom If ever. were the railroad Of
ficials compelled to avail themselves
of this source Of supply.

SYSTEMATIC SAVING BRINGS

~ Jacksonville. Feb. 17.---Systematic
saving is the only saving that brings

There were many thousand who
signed pledges to buy war savings

economies throughout the year and
found 1t considerable strain on
their incomes to keep their pledges
by the expenditure of large sum in
December. But there Is hardly any
one who could not "set a mark for
savings this year and by beginning
now, roll up tidy sum by next

HOW TO GET RID
OF BEAN DISEASES

Now is the time to take one of the
most effective steps in overcoming cer-
tain diseases which have been one of
the most important factors in reduc ng
the bean crop in Colorado Most of
the diseases affecting the bean are ear
ried over from year to year on diseased
seed. These diseases cannot be COZ
trolled by seed treatment as in the case
of grain slnuts. For this reason it has
been necessary to resort to other meth
DDS. Selection of disease-free seed has
proven to be the most effective method.
Select by hand disease free pods, or
better It'll, d -sease-free plants and save
the seed from these.
Selection of seed as they come from
the thrssher 10 OF no value, for diseased
seed cannot bs detected in this way.
Where large areas are to be planted It
would b advisable to select enough

which has never grown beans before
and which il some distance from the
main crop. Use the best seed from this
seed plot for planting the main crop
the following year. Careful seed selec-
tion and system of crop rotation will
effectively control the most serious dis
eases Of tho bean.-J. G. Leach, Colo
