chase Of cane for planting purposes,
regardless of whether this cane is Sc
cured within or without the state.
Where a grower contemplates pur-
chasing seen cane outside of his own
immediate neighborhood he should
first communicate with Mr.. Wilmon
Newell, plant commissioner, Gaines
vile, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the locality where he con-
templates making his purchase is
known TO have the disease and also
for the purpose of securing permits
for importation when cane Is wanted
from other states. No permits will
be issued for the shipment of cane
from the vicinity OF New Orleans,
from points along the Mississippi
river or from any point IN Texas or
Louisiana known TO be infested by
the Argentine ant, the latter a most
serious agricultural pest which the
Plant Board has thus far been able
to keep out Of the state and which
would, if introduced, cause serious
damage to various crops, including
cane and citrus fruits.

THE LEGION OF
PATRIOTIC EMPLOYERS

While he was in office, as assistant
to the secretary of war, in charge of
securing employment for soldiers,
Colonel Arthur Woods was exceed
irgly interested in the plan for a
Legion of Patriotic Employers. Be-
fore he resigned, Colonel Woods was
pleased to see the same idea adopted
III England.
The war and navy departments, for
whom Colonel Woods acted, at his
suggestion devised "The Official Cita-
ton" This is handsome document
inscribed with the seal of the United
States, and engrossed in the name of
those employers who put themselves
down in writing as having agreed to
GLADLY re-employ everybody who
formerly worked with them and left
to serve in the army or navy during
the great war.
The idea took slowly at first, until
employers generally began to realize
what it meant to be enrolled in the
legion. In the first two months but
240 had been issued. Today the war
department received more than that
number Of applications in every mail.

OF the house to the Office boy, had gone

taken back more than 10000 EN-.

FARMERS, WATCH OUT
FOP THE MOSAIC DISEASE

Gainesville, Oct. members of
the State Plant Board are very much
concerned over the recent discovery,
at several points in Florida, of the
Mosaic or nothing disease of sugar
cane. This disease, which has caused
a marked reduction of the sugar crop
in Porto Rico during the past two
seasons, was found in Louisiana n few
nonths ago by experts of the Bureau
of Plant Industry. U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The Investigations
also revealed that small lots of cane
for propagation purposes had been
sent to points in Georgia and Florida.
Recent inspections of the farms where
these paintings were made have been
made by agents of the Bureau of
Plant Industry and inspectors OF the
State Plant Board, with the result
that an aggregate of about $50 acres
o: cane in Florida have been found in
fected.
The disease is indicated by a yellow
mottling or splashing of the cane
leaves. During the first year of in
fection the tonnage IS not materially
reduced and the infection may even
pass unnoticed by the grower. All in
fected canes which are planted, how
ever, produce nothing but infected
canes and these canes are in all cases
severely dwarfed; are so small in fact
that they are useless for grinding
purposes.
The disease attacks all common
varieties of cane grown in Florida for
syrup and sugar making, with the ex-
ception of Japanese cane and a few
rare varieties of similar type which
seem TO be resistant to the disease.
Experts of the department of agri-
culture who have closely studied the
disease In both Porto Rico and this
country express the opinion that it is
easily capable of reducing the cane
crop by at least 40 per cent.
The Plant Board at its September
meeting adopted a rule, under the
provisions OF the Florida plant act
prohibiting the shipment of sugar
cane into Florida, except upon special
permits issued by the plant commits.

use of fireplace for over month,
with dry chestnut wood, where the
amount of ashes formed by II months
use was not enough to require re-

Ashes should be kept level with the
andiron, the foresters say. As tho
blocks burn. an accumulation of glow
ing charcoal forms in the ashes. This
keeps on burning slowly and assists
in igniting the fresh blocks on the
andirons. A pocket may be formed
IN the ashes into which the hot char

Two or three blocks on the andirons
with the hot charcoal in the ashes
