Proaress of Milk Clubs

Reports from the home demonstra-
ton agents indicate clearly that the
milk clubs are doing good work, and
that the interest in these clubs is
growing. st. Lucie and HerIando
counties each have Is members and
as result of these milk clubs four
cows were ordered in one week re-
Gently for members of the fernando
county club. In Jackson county four
men have promised to buy 12cows
each as soon as a market for the
dairy products can be secured AS
there is no trouble in finding markets
for dairy products it is expected that
the cows will be purchased in the
near future.
Those members who have joined
the clubs and agreed to keep the rec
ords are much pleased with the re-
suits. AS one woman expresses it,
We have found the keeping OF the

Thrips lniure Peanuts

81
The Florida flower thrips is causing
considerable injury to peanuts in va
rious parts of the state, according to
~. r. Watson, entomologist at the ex,
pertinent station, and W. N. Ankony,
extension pathologist. The leaves at
the top of infested plants first curl
and then turn brown and finally dry
up, causing the plant to look as if
1t were attacked by some fungus or
scorched by fire. The whole plant
is yellow and stunted but usually re-
covers when the thrips are removed.
The injury has long been common in
peanut fields but only recently has 1T
been traced to thrips The insect is
the same as the one which commonly
attacks citrus, tomatoes and roses.
but is different from the onion thrips.
Thrips are dry weather insects and
honse are most common during the
spring and early summer With the
coming of the rainy season their
| numbers gradually diminish. They
are small delicate creatures. 1.2O
inch in length, and heavy dashing
rain knocks large proportion OF
them from the plants, and pounds
them to death on the ground. A
heavy rain will therefore usually DO;
an end to serious damage to the pea
nuts. If the injury threatens to be
come serious the plants should BE-
sprayed with tobacco solution. Il
is best to add some substance to the
solution to act as "a spreader. A good
formula and one that has proven sat
isfactory on citrus and tomatoes is:
| Commercial lime sulphur solution
30 degrees Baume, quarts.
Black Leaf 40, one half pint.
| Water so gallons.
Instead of the lime sulphur one can
put into the solution from four "a
eight pounds of soap the larger ouan-
titles when the water is hard. Do not
use both lime sulphur and soap.

cations there will be much work done
in that line. Some of the girls are
now selling their first ripe tomatoes
while others are shipping some. We
encourage the girls in marketing
their early vegetables. but never lose
sight of the fact that they must hold
up their record by canning only that
which is fresh and wholesome, which
can only be done by keeping right up
with the vegetables as they are ready
to can whether it be corn, beans, to-
matoes or whatever it may be.

Girls, don't forget to get materials
for your club uniform. We will ex-
pect every single girl regardless OF
the club she represents, to be in field
uniform this year. Let's make our
years work the very best ever in
every sense of the word
In February 1913, small bunch
of Marion county girls made a name
for themselves as canning club girls.
They made a record not only for
themselves but for Marion county.
One of our girls won the stateprize
which at that time meant a trip to
Washington Since then we have
grown in numbers and in work.
Much more is expected of our coun-
ty than ever before and yet we have
been able so far to measure up to
the exacted requirements. Isn't it
about time we were winning the big
prize again? Yes, girls, think it is.
This can only be done by working for
It. Do not depend on a streak of
luck landing the prize for you; it is
your duty as club member to your
home county to work to win.

The excessive rains have been
hard on most vegetables, making it
necessary to take extra precaution
when it comes to canning. The home
grown tomatoes SO far seem to be
of excellent texture which means
they will hold up well in canning,
To get the best flavor in canned to-
matoes they should be cooked just a
little as may be necessary for their
preservation, which is just very
few minutes according to size of con
tanners. They may be put in as near
whole as the can will allow and can
ned in such way as to be sliced
and used in salads, or served as
fresh. This of course depends on flrm-
ness, ripeness and texture of tomato
being canned.

1t would be a splendid idea if those
who are interested in canning would
order their supplies early in order
that our merchants may get an idea
as to what the demand for such sup
plies are going to be. If on the 9th
er hand we all put off till late cannign
to secure our supplies, some of us
are apt to be disappointed in getting
what we need to work with. just
now there is a reasonable supply OF
cans in stock, but other counties are
apt to call on our supply, hence the
advice to buy early in order that ouI
merchants can form some idea as to
what our needs may be for the re-
mainder of the canning season.

SHORTAGE OF LABOR CHIEF
 OBSTACLE TO BUILDING

New York. June g. - The short age of unskilled labor and tha high cost of materials are the chief obstacles to building operations at present, according to the testimony or several large brick manufacturers here today before the joint legislative committee Investigating the housing problem. In answer to charges that a secret understanding exists among brickmakers to keep up the price of their product, the witnesses testified that they were now selling brick for about Sl less per thousand than the prlce fixed by the government durina the war; that any manufacturer was at liberty to sell at still lower price fife he deired to do so and that prices of materials were not fixed by them, Skilled labor is easy to obtain. said Charles E. Murtha. but unskilled men are hard to get. This assertion was supported by William Maxwell. treas ured ot plant with a capacity ot | 5o, o0o 900 brick year, who stated:
 We have secured New York and | the labor is not available for a satis- 1 factory production. We will take two
 hundred men who can roll wheeIbar
 rows right now and give them fifty 1 cents an hour for eight hours work . or they can work eighteen hours if l they wish.'
 The cost of building material. Mir 1 Murtha said, has increased 125 per
 cent. in the past four years. The cost 1 ot labor was indicated by William K Hammond, another bricklayer. who cited one grade of labor as having
 increased in price from s190 to SAB

 no indication of a lowering in the
 prices of either labor or material.

The Largest Wheat Crop Ever Raised
Forecast in Monthly Report of Department of Agriculture II, 1,236, ,00O, 900 Bushels.

Washington, June 9.-Bumper crops are growing throughout the country but plant diseases already have done some damage and threaten to curtail production somewhat. The largest wheat crop ever grown, ag- gregating 6.000.000 bushels of win ter and spring wheat combined was forecast in today's monthly report of the department of agriculture. That represents practically one third of the worlds wheat crop this year. In pre- vious years the United States has grown about one-fifth. Big crops of oats, barley rye. hay, apples and peaches also are in prospect.
 Red rust made it's appearance dur ing May in the principal winter wheat producing sections and the infection is spreading. It caused damage to the extent of about 100000 bushels to winter wheat and experts are unable to determine how extensive the dam age will be by the time that crop is harvested

TAX ON PROFITS OF MUNlTIoN
 MANUFACTURE UPHELD

Philadelphia, June 9-The govern ment's war time tax on the profits of munition manufacturers, contested by producers of parts of shells. who claimed that the impost was intended to apply only to completed articles, was upheld by the circuit court of ap- peals here today.
 In a group of three decisions holding that any participant in the abnormal profits of intuition making must sub init himself to taxation laid upon this class of income. the court sustained a government policy involving many millions of dollars in revenue already collected or in course of collection. Opposite action by the court would have necessitated legislation to make up the consequent deficit in federal receipts. The decisions, written by Judge Burlington and affirmed by Judges Woolley and Haight, who sat with him, sustained the judges of the First and Third Pennsylvania districts. who denied claims of the Carbon Steel l Company and the Worth Brothers | Company. seeking to recover from the 1 government taxes paid under the ex- ! else law of September 8, 1916. and re- i versed the justice in the twenty third 1 district, who allowed q similar clain 1 by the Forged Steel Wheel company | The suits were known as the par
 shell tax cases
 Judge Buffington's opinion held tha1
 the purpose of congress wa to tax per 1 sons who manufactured the whole ol any part of a shell, overruling tht | manufa lecturers contention that tht legislative intent was confined to tn, production of the completed shell O
 a completed part. Its effect is t. make intuition contractors liable fo their profits. regardless of sub-con tracts. and to place similar liabil ity upon all sub- contractors doing an. part of the work of producing a shel whether loaded or unloaded.
 The tax which induced the litiga
 ton is an annual levy of F 1-2 pc
 cent. upon the entire net profits act ually received or accrued from tn sale or disposition of such article (munitions) manufactured within tn
 United States" The impost is in ad
 dition to the income tax.

however, by the arrival of o'clock, wren the wire repeal. bill came auto ma atically before the senate.
 Shortly before o'clock Senator Be- rAh, obtaining the floor, remarked that the authenticity of his treaty copy had been questioned and that he would prove it by reading the document. Thereupon he began leisurely with the preamble of the big volume. reading of hich probably would have taken fif- teen hours.
 The presidents supporters objected that Mir. Borah was reading conf1- dential document against the sena tes
 rules, that he was breaking both precedent and rules by presenting a treaty at an open session and that he
 was exceeding his right by speaking too often on the same subject during the same debate.
 But all these efforts to cut off the cading failed. and for an hour MT. Borah read through the cumbersome preamble and into the first section of the treaty.
 At last, however, conferences among the leaders brought a compromise by l. hich unanimous consent was given to l interrupt the reading. and vote on the
