A great many sprays have been
tried. for the destruction of weeds.
Some of them have proven fairly
satisfactory, but as a rule they have
been costly and have not proven SO
effective as to justify our recon-
mending their extensive use. We be-
lfeve one situated as you are would
find it much more desirable to cut
out the weeds by means of a sharp,
pointed and rather narrow bladed
hoe than to attempt their control
through the use. of spray formulas.
AS a rule, spray formulas to be sat-
isfactory for the purpose you have in
mind will result in the destruction
, of the grass and make your lawn
spotted. Some formulas which may
be used successfully in so far as the
destruction of the weeds is concern
ed will injure the productivity OF
the soil for several years. Some
times it. will not grow crops success
fully for several years.
A long and wide experience in
studying the adaptability of various
crops and grasses to southern condi-
tons but confirms. the opinion that
sprays such as you have in mind are
not effective for the end you wish to
attain. / find that by encouraging a
good combination of grasses to grow

Gull oranges, lemons, and grape
fruit which were formerly wasted
are now turned into many useful
products developed by the Bureau of
of: Agriculture, which is conducting
experimental work in the citrus by
products laboratory at Los Angeles,
California.
The problem of how to utilize eco
nomically the Gull and waste fruit
became more acute each year with
the development of the large orange
and lemon gGoVeS of California and
FlOrid-. Fruit which is too small or
too large, unsightly or misshapen,
cannot be sold profftably for food.
Some fruit is not fit for shipment
because Of minor defects, such as
small bruises, or punctures from
thorns or gravel or rough boxes,
since such defects become points of
infection for bacterial and fungus
growths which cause decay. The
amount of waste fruit averages from
year to year about 3 per cent of the
total crop.
Laboratory Established in 1914
The citrus by-pro6ucts laboratory
was organized at Los Angeles, Calf,
in 1914, to Investigate the possibility
of adapting to conditions lii Cali
fornia, and improving existing meth

There were one or two small and
struggling ty-products companies in

were begun. These concerns were

for the experiment to be made, with

can be drilled at approximately hall

after careful study of all the anti
clinals Of this section. The company
has a large acreage leased and nc

Figuring another way let us take
just two bills the city viii be called
upon to pay in the future. The city
now pays for the public lights ap-
proximately $4,000 a year. In the
electriication of our water plant it is
understood that the power bill for
this service will be around $4,000
more. The City Council claims that
it will be a big economy in the op-
Grafton of the water plant, but we
are not considering that now Here
are two items of expense to the city
aggregating over $4,000 a year. This
sum would pay 4 per cent interest
on a half million dollars worth of
bonds. A half million dollars of
bonds sold would buy the present
plants at its bonded indebtedness
of S292,000 and then leave 100000
for light extensions, car line extern
sions and new equipment, extension
and improvement of the gas service
and an extension of the white way.
And then lights could be furnished
all the people at reasonable rates;
more lights could be used and che up
keep of the plant could be maintained
and its development would respond
to the growing demands of the city.
Probably municipal ownership is
the solution of all our troubles.
Think about it.

the Japanese has ever been contem-

consider it an act of disloyalty to di-
vert their supplies from their own
country in time of need. and there is
nothing in their record of unswerving
support of the food administration

the circulation of such report"
