WHITE FLY FUNGUS.
May be Obtained from State Plant
Board, Gainesville.

Growers sometimes delay applying
fungus during midsummer, thinking
that the whitehy will not become
abundant that season. However, it
often occurs that during September
both fruit and foliage are covered
with sooty-mold, and that the trees
are heavily infested with whitefy.
County agents are in position to
inform citrus growers to what extent
they should apply fungus and how
! they may secure cultures of it.
A culture consists of the amount
| of fungus that can be grown in a
WIDEN outhed pint bottle, and is
sufficient for an acre of grove. The
use of pure cultures, is preferable to
fungus material collected from groves
as it completely avoids the possible
danger of introducing destructive
diseases or insects.
The chronological department of
the state Plant Board, Gainesville,
Fla, has on hand a supply of PURE
cultures of the red whiteny fungus
Cred aschersonia), which is most
effective in the control of citrus
whitefy when applied during the per-
iod OF summer rains. 1t is urged
that those who use fungus should ap-
ply it now in order that it may get
an early start in the trees.
There is also available small
number of cultures of the yellow
aSChprSOnia which eome Uroware ra
gard as more effective against the
c!oudy-winged whitehy When order
ing, it is a good plan to send some
leaves for examination in order that |
the entomologist may determine
he. should include any yellow
fungus with the order.
Further information may be secur-
ed by addressing the Entomologist, |

POLITICAL ADVERTISING.
WOOD
FOR PRESIDENT

The primary law was enacted for
the purpose OF giving every voter
an opportunity to express his pref
erence as to who should be the
party nominees. To exercise that
privilege should be encouraged so
that the rank and file may partici-
pate in the naming of a ticket as
veil as to be asked to support it in
the election.
After the national ticket has
been named, the county and state
primaries held and the ticket COM
pleted, those who assume party
leadership from precinct, commit
teeman up will appeal to the vot-
ers for their support at the coming
election.
1t would seem only fair. consist
ent and expedient to make an ap-
peal to the voters to 60 to the
primaries and vote for their choice
and thereby actively participate in
the making of his party ticket and
in no way should he be deprived OF
their rights as citizen.
The state Republican convention
in 1896 refused to endorse T. S.
Senator Cullom and endo+n9d
William Mckinley as choice for
president. The importance of the
Office of president of the United
States at this particular time is so
lar reaching and so great as to
completely overshadow all local or
TOT int -
tional and International and should
of necessity arrest attention and
most serious consideration of all
Republican leaders AMI the rank
and file of the party. To be blind
to these facts and conditions is to
head the ship of state towards the
rocks. In the judgement of some of
the ablest statesmen and party
leaders in the nation, men who
place party success above personal
interest are urging the nomination
Of Leonard Wood as the best
equipped man for president in
these crucial times. His wide ex-
perience. recognized ability and
brilliant career as a citizen. soldier
and statesman prominently quail
ifieS him as the man of the hour for
the Republican party. Let US join
forces for a large primary vote and
a free expression at the polls next
Tuesday and afterwards whoop it
up for the G. o. P.
! Yours for Wood for president
and a sweeping Republican victory
in November.

SEAT SALE FOR
QUARTET MONDAY

There will be quartets,s solos,
duets and trios at the concert to be
given by the Metropolitan quartet
on the evening of April 26. Prob
ably Rock Island people do not
fully realize the opportunity they
have in hearing all these artists in
a single evening and it is most
likely that they will never have a
similar chance, as the manager
frankly states that it is too difficult
to book four stars for one concert
and avoid conflicts with solo dates.
Aida. soprano and Zanelli, bass, are
Victor artists, Lazzari is one OF
Edison's best and Hacke.t is Co
lumbia success. SO that all have
been heard in many homes on many
occasions. Among all the attrac-
tons offered to tri-city people this
season by various organizations,
this one is considered the best.
Reservations start Monday morning
at the Cable Music house.
