MAY QUARANTINE
 WORLD AGAINST
 THE CORN BORER

Washi9gto1 o1, Feb, 11-Whether or not it. is advisable to quarantine all foreign countries to prevent furth CT entrance of the European corn borer into the United States will be deter mined Thursday at a hearing called by the Secretary of Agriculture to be held in the offices of the Federal Hor- ticuitural Board. If quarantine is found advisable, it will apply to stalks and ears of Indian corn, broom corn. sweet sorghu1nss grain sorghuns, , Sudan grass, Johnson grass, sugar cane including Japanese varieties. pearl millets Napier grass, teosinte and Jobs tears. It will not apply to shell the other plants It will apply to any parts of those plants in the raw or unmanufactured state that may be used for packing or similar purposes.
 Authority is conferred by the plant quarantine act to prohibit entirely or to restrict the importation of any plants. The European corn borer is supposed to have entered the United States in shipments of broom corn and has obtained 8 limited foothold in the eastern part of the country. J Large sums or money are being spent in an effort to control 1t. The enor- nous value os corn, says the Depart 1nent of Agriculture officials, makes it necessary to take all possible precau- i tions to prevent further infestation-

Wonderful South Florida.

Why are there so many optimists
in South Florida? Simply because
1t is natural for one here to feel that
way. The innumerable opportunities
and possibilities here which continu-
ally appear before mans vision will
not permit South Floridians to feel
otherwise.
The growing season continues all
through the year, and if the farmers
and truckers fail on one crop they
can plant another without having to
wait until the SHOWS of winter have
melted and the King of Spring has
forced Jack Frost into retirement.
If they make a failure of all their
crops-something seldom heard of
here-and their bank accounts are
low, they find great consolation in
the fact that they can leave their
farm work temporarily and make
money enough at other vocations in
their neighborhoods to enable them
to put in profitable crops at the be-
ginning of the next season. The farm
ers of South Florida have very little
to worry about insofar as making a
living is concerned.
The climate is mild throughout the
entire year and, taken as whole, it

Hunting Season Opens Nov. 20.

The Florida hunting season begins
next month, November 20 being the
first day upon which sportsmen may
shoot quail, squirrels, wild turkey,
doves, geese, brant, rails, coots, sand
pipers, deer snipe, ducks and plover.
The sportsmen may go in the woods
and get limited numbers of this game
after Novmber 20 until March l..
Licenses are required for all hunters,
and the county courthouse is the
place to apply, when the time comes.
1t is fairly we'll known to everybody
that the limit of game is such as to
prevent the extinction of deer and
birds, if the law is obeyed. There
are said to be many law-breakers in
Florida who do not abide by the reg
ulatons, and in some counties pro-
tective organizations have been form
ed. The law says that an individual
hunter can take only one deer, two
turkeys, twenty quail or twenty-five
other birds in one day, also that the
killing season must not exceed three
deer, ten turkeys and three hundred
other birds. Pheasants and grouse
being very scarce in Florida the open
season is only one month. from No

Friends of Agriculture.

National authority was slow to
awaken to the necessity for the pro-
lection and conservation of bird life.
But now this beautiful and utilitarian
propaganda, strengthened by legal en-
couragement and restrictions, is work
ing for the benefit of the Nation and
the race. The boy with the sling and
the pothunter are becoming rare; the
outlaw sportsman meets swift retri-
button; ignorance of bird life and its
value to agriculture is disappearing.
We have learned, or are learning,
that each bird has its allotted work,
which it willingly and persistently
performs, setting us an example we
would do we'll to emulate, for it works
with song bubbling from its throat.
Behold the vireo flashing among ma
pie leaves, or the swallow, swift cor
sair of the air, the robin. the catbird
and the chebec at their work Only
by unremitting industry do We keep
down the weeds which otherwise
would choke down and overcome the
needful crops, but with all our indus
try we should fail but for the assist
ance of the birds, which feed on seeds
as we'll as insects. But for the cease
less work of these winged friends the
earth soon would become a devastated
waste by reason of the voracity of in
conceivable insect life. 1t is the
birds which keep down the tent cat
erpillar, the gypsey moth, the cut
worm, the codling moth, the innumer-
able myriads of eggs and larvae which
are found on trees and leaves and the
stalks of vegetation. What these JOY
Gus songsters take of fruit and grain
is negligible in comparison with the
service they perform for the good Of
US all. Hence every farmer in par
ticular should know, as farmers are
coming to know, that the birds are ag-
riculturai aids to be appreciated and
protected by every possible means

Curb Cattle Disease.

Eradicating tuberculosis from cattle
will practically solve the problem of
controlling the disease among swine
That is the opinion of veterinary ex-
perts experienced in the handling and
post-mortem examination of swine re-
ceived at the principal market centers.
By means of a simple and practical
marker, hogs may be tattooed with
distinguishing letters and figures, and
when disease is found by post-mortem
examination the identity of such ami
mails is known. With a simple system
of records it is thus possible to trace
shipment to the farm from which
it came and stamp out infectious dis
eases at their source. Evidence shows
that swine become infected with tu-
berculosis principally from cattle. Ell
ther by following them in feed lots
or pastures, by receiving infected dai-
ry by-products. or by eating tuhercu-
lous carcasses.
