says DIR. J. r. Henry. assistant
state health commissioner. There
Is no mystery as to the cause Of
the outbreak. Flies did the work
which simple precautionary meas
ures would have prevented.
AS typhoid fever Is at present
more or less prevalent throughout
the state these outbreaks are OF
serious interest. The Cheian case
illustrates a very common source OF
typhoid fever. Flies and insanitary
toilets cause many hundred such
cases every year. Another common
cause OF typhoid was illustrated In
King county last January when ~
cases were found among customers
OF a small dairyman. a member OF
whose family had the disease"

Of Interest to Corn Growers

harry McElve n of Levy coun-
ty, who produced SO bushels of
corn on his acre last year, reports
to the state boys club agent that
he again has a splendid crop. He
requests that it be inspected by an
agent of the boys club work.
Holmes county: One boy claims
he will make more on his club
acre than his father will make on
six acres in the same field. The
only difference in fertilization
was the club acre had two one
horse loads of stable fertilizer ex-
ira. The boy claims proper prep
aration and cultivation and not
the extra fertilizer made the corn.
And dad is beginning to think
that way too.
Small yields from poor seed
corn can be readily prevented by
not planting that kind next
spring, but by planting good seed
selected this fall. The best seed
is available in abundance at ripen-
ing time, when it should be Sc
lected from stalks standing where
they grew, because only then can
seed be gathered with certainty
from good yielding plants.
Throughout the North and Cen
trail district of Florida, the coun-
ty agents in a number of the coun-
ties are planning to wage a cam
paign against the corn weevil. 1t
is realized that a great deal Of the
corn crop is lost annually by the
weevils getting into the cribs and
destroying the grain after it has
been stored. This loss can be
checked by storing the corn in a
tight crib and fumigating it with
bisulphide of carbon.

PAINT THE FARM BUILDINGS
Will Prolong Their Life and Make
Them More Attractive

There are two good reasons fol
painting houses and farm build
ings, says j. NJ. Scott of the ex
pertinent station. These are, frs
Tor the preservation of the wood
and second for improving the ap
rearance of the building and sur
roundings.
Consider the first reasonably
preserve the wood? 1t is econ.
omy to do so. This has been one
OF the big words in our vocabu-
larry for the past few years, and
should continue to be in the fu-
1ure. If by painting or staining
we can lengthen the life of service
ct our farm building three, FIVE,
or ten years, it is money well
spent. Painting is. cheaper than
rebuilding.
The identifying of the farm
building and surrounding is of a
great deal of value. This is for
the reason that the surrounding
has great deal to do with keep /
ing the farm help satisfied and
keeping a larger percentage of
our young men on the farm. The
surrounding is often the determ-
ming factor as to whether young
man will remain on the farm or
not Therefore, make the sur .
rounding about the home and {
farm attractive if you want bet
ter farmers. y
1t makes little difference wheth- :
er you use paints or stains, so'long L.
as the colors selected harmonic. :
This matter of paint should be :
carried further than just for the :
home and farm buildings, and J.
may be applied to the farm ma -
chinery. Farm machinery that is y
kept well painted not only looks -
better but wears much longer. A !
great many people are of the opin- :
ion that because a large part of 6
the farm machinery is iron, paint ::
ing is not necessary Painting l
protects it from the weather,
which means keeping it from rust !
ing and corroding. Almost as !

CATTLEMEN TO MEET
Wiss Assemble in Orlando Next
Monday

The cattlemen of DeSoto county
have been invited by the cattle.
men of Osceola and surrounding
counties to attend a meeting in
Orlando on July 21st, for the pur-
pose of discussing plans for con-
Quoting a systematic tick eradica-
ton campaign in the South Flori-
ola quarantined counties which
have voted for compulsory dip
ping of cattle.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board has declared in favor Of
concentrating their efforts next
year on the work in South Flori-
da, as it offers the best opportuni-
ty for conducting work on an ex-
tensive scale in territory which
can be worked as one unit.
DeSoto county now has 70 dip
ring watts in operation, and the
cattle owners voluntarily dipped
22,727 cattle during the past
to protect them from the
ravages of the cattle ticks.
The entire area can be cleaned |
up in one season, if all the coun~
lies in this zone will cooperate
and start work early in the sea-
ION, the work being simplified by
of county lines be-
ween working counties, which
will be a big help to the cattle
wners in handling their stock.

FERTILIzING SUGAR CANE
Expert Advice as to Summer APP
plications

: 1t is preferable to apply most
t Of the fertilizer for sugar cane be-
!, fore planting. Where the cane
l. crop is making slow growth and
: has yellow color it usually indi-
Gates the need of some ammonia.
: According to A. P. Spencer of the
: Extension Division, an applica-
! ton of nitrate of soda or sulphate
= Of ammonia during July or Au-
gust will make up the deficiency.
If the crop is yellow from lack Of
ammonia, 200 pounds per acre is
not an excessive application, but
in most places 100 pounds would
be about sufficient. 1t is usually
advisable to apply this before
September LIST. If the crop fails
ITO respond to such an application,
examine the roots to see if they
are diseased, or, it may need cul-
tivation or moisture.
