MARKETING BUREAU
WILL Be DISCUSSED
Meeting Tomorrow Afternoon in the
Courthouse to Take Up Question
of Its Abolition

The members of the Marion county
agricultural committee, and all others
interested, are urged to attend the
meeting which Mr.. H. Blackburn,
county agent, has called for tomorrow
afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, in the court
house, for the purpose of discussing
the proposed bill to abolish the state
marketing bureau. Other matters of
important will come before the meet
ing.
1t is believed that many of the
farmers of the county and state have
not familiarized themselves with the
work of the marketing bureau. The
meeting will be an opportunity for
finding out what the bureau has ac-
complished. Mr.. L S. Light of Red
dick, is one of the directors of the
bureau.
The millions of dollars worth Of
Florida products which have been
handled by the marketing bureau
since its establishment In 1917, have
been handled without any charge.
Commissioner McRae, of the state de-
partment of agriculture. says taht the
maintenance of the market bureau
comes from fund secured by tax
of 25 cents on fertilizers. The total
amount appropriated for the bureau
is $4,000 year and in 1913 the fer
tilizer stamp tax realized $51, ,12S. The
commissioner points out that there
are 10000 farms in the state and the
bureau created to assist in marketing
crops gets per capital allowance OF
21 cents.
The movement to establish a mar.
keting bureau in the state was start
ed several years ago by the Marion
County Board of Trade.

HEAVY MELON LOSS
Due TO STEM ROT
United States Department of Agri-
culture Has a Remedy for
the Disease

Edward B. Reid, chief of the divis-
ion of publication, u. S. department
of agriculture, advises the Board OF
Trade that the department estimates
the loss of watermelons in the South
Atlantic states from stem rot reaches
as high as $4,000 carloads, worth ap-
proximately $1.166,000. The freight
car space, says the chief, wasted for a
period of thirty days is equivalent to
1000 cars.
Stem-end decay may be entirely
prevented by a simple treatment,
which consists in the application of a
disinfectant paste to the freshly cut
stem at the time of loading in the car.
The cost of this treatment, says Mr..
Reid, should not exceed so cents per
car for the material and 81 car for
the labor. The application of the
paste, if properly done, does not in
terfere with the normal speed of
backing the car.
The treatment, according to Mr..
Reid, has been tested by the depart
ment of agriculture for three years
with favorable results.

is still tire for the President to come
to their MD The Berlin Deutsche Al
lcgmeine Zeitung implores him to get
busy and have the peace terms all fin
ed up before March 4:
an view of Americas sacrifices in
blood and money, we may well believe
that in order to prevent fresh wars
the President is still serious about his
scheme to conclude Il peace based
upon Il league of nations. But his
position in the council of the Allies
and his influence have altered con-
5iderably since his speech on Septem-
Der 27. Lven the French, lusting for
revenge, do not then think it possible
that thescollapse of Germany would
be so speedy and so complete. The
intoXicatiol of victory, which is only
now on - beginnings, will go on in
crcasing, ;.nG there will be ar ever
lcssening disposition to listen to VIII
sons Strivings for moderation and to
follow tho line of his ideals. If the
new American congress appears en-
lity, it might well turn out that the
German people could no longer rccE-
on upon the carrying out of the prin-
ciples which in no Face offer OF
Novembci. 3 they accepted as the
foundation Of Il just peace"
The NolI,ische Zeitung calls for
the immediate su:nmoning of Ger
man natiora' assembly in order to
strengthen the Presidents hand, and
1t is terrified at the prospect of Con-
gressional Influence being felt at the
peace table:
1T Is very much to our interest
to get tI1ilg> clear with Wilson while
he Is still able 10 make his word pre-
vail with the other Allies. This will
not be the case for very long, because
he has TO reckon at home with IL
strong commencement. The Repub-
llcans, VINO at the recent elections.
conquered beth Houses of Congress,
are furious opponents OF Wilson's
fourteen points AT the moment
their sharper tones can find express
sion only in the press, because they
