Food in Germany

Reports from Berlin show that
the lifting of the blockade had an
immediate effect upon the prices of
various necessities. Textiles fell
rapidly and the prices of foodstuffs
are described as coming down with
crash.
This was not due altogether to an
ticipation of the arrival of incoming
stocks. The stocks were on hand in
the storerooms of profiteers, who
were boarding food even while Ger
many starved. These stocks are de-
scribed as huge and their owners
are said to be in a panic.
The whole story of food in Ger
many forms curious comment on
Germany efficiency" Travellers
m!Germany have reported from
time to time. ever since the war
blockade:beg to be effective, that
moneyswould always buy plentiful
supplies.of good food in Germany.
while the poorer people were always
on short rations. consisting mostly
of uDpalatable and innutritious sub
stitutes.
1t is impossible that the great
stores of food now appearing could
have been kept under cover if the
authorities had cared to search for
them, and the only conclusion is
that the German Food Administra-
ton must have been rotten with
favoritism.

Sprav For Whitefiy Now.

The common citrus Whitefiy IS
numerous in The state, according
to j. r. Watson, entOmologlst at
the Experiment Station. The last
brood is on the wing, and the eggs
are hatching; in fact Matching IS
largely over in the southern part
of the state. Since the rainy sea-
son will close in few weeks, and
with it the season of the most act
i've growth Of at least the red
Aschersonia, Prof. Watson urges
the citrus growers to begin spray
ing as soon as the whitef1y eggs
have Matched 1t takes about 10
days for the eggs to hatch.
There are several reasons why
spraying should be done while
the larvae are still young, the
principal one being that if they
are allowed to live the substance
which is needed for the proper
growth of the trees and fruit will
go to feed the larvae. Another
reason is that the larvae are more
easily killed while young. And,
if spraying is done now before the
rainy season closes, the Sooty
mold will be loosencd up and the
rain viii wash it away, resulting
in a much cleaner fruit when pick,
ing time comes.
Unless the proper measures arc
taken, growers may expect severe
damage to the trees and a costly
reduction in both quantity anc
quality Of next years's crop.
The proper spray material is al
oil emulsion. There are Sevcra
good ones on the market.

Wsterworks System for the Farm
and Home.

One Of the important needs OF
every farm is a pure and constant
supply of water for both human
and animal needs, says G. L. vii
loughby of the State College OF
Agriculture.
One method Of keeping young
folks on the farm is to make the
home more attractive for them,
more useful, more like the city
home if you please to call it that.
Nothing aids more in this direc-
ton than a modern water system,
with hot and cold water, bath and
toilet facilities. They save i'll
convenience, in labor, and in
healthfulness of the entire family.
lit has been stated that the daily
allowance of water for good
health should be seven pints taken
internally and seven gallons appli-
led externally. For warm days,
this would be little enough.
Then for the animals on the
farm, it is sometimes possible to
supply water by clear brooks, but
more often this source would fur
Inish only muddy or tainted water.
A much better plan would be to
supply reservoirs or troughs With
clear water from the farm water
system.

A good suggestion is made by
p O. Hickman to the effect that
local growers shipping citrus fruit
through the Fort Ogden Citrus
Growers Association, with the con-
sent of those having authority IN
the matter, might have placed on
crates by the use of a rubber
stamp or stencil the name and adj
dress OF the producer of the partl-
cular fruit contained. The sec,
ton from which it came, as for in,
stance "Shell Greek, " "The Ala,
patehec" or "AlligatOr Creek,
might be included. 1t is a sug
gcstion that should receive due
consideration, for to carry it out
would subject the individual grow
crs to only small additional ex
pense for the rubber stamp OF
stencil needed for the purpose ant
it would prove a valuable adver
tisement.

Lettuce is a very satisfactory

Tomatoes are recommended TO

Pineapples Bringing Good Prices

= AA@NN PHA-D
Up to Tuesday morning, Mr.

ped seventy-fve crates OF pine
apples to Philadelphia. They are

$500 per crate. They have three
quarters of an acre in pineappieS'
from which they feel sure tnaI
they will realize at least TlZo0'
possibly $1400.

1t must be borne in mind that
the pineapples grown here are OF
the Smooth Cayenne and other
fancy varieties, which always
bring much higher prices than the
common pineapples shipped from
Cuba and other places. Punta
Gorda is the only place in Florida
where the growing Of these fancy
varieties is made a speciality.
1t should also be borne in mind
that in order to reap such results
as mentioned above, a pmery

by the owner. This business, like
any other, requires judgment, per-
