MEET IN OCALA IN MAY

The thirty-ninth annual meeting OF
the Florida State Horticultural So
ciety will be held in Ocala, May to
Z inclusive. This date has been set
by the executive committee of the
organization.
The horticultural society has a
membership of about 1900 and has
for years been a strong factor in the
horticultural development of the
state. The annual meeting to he here
in Ocala will be one of much interest
because of the fact that the society
was organized in this city in 1887. A
number of the charter members of
the organization are still living and
are taking an active interest in the
development of the society.
An extensive program dealing with
avoeados, citrus fruits, deciduous
fruits, citrus fruit production, orna-
mentals and many other subjects is
being prepared.

NEWSPAPER TESTIMONY

The day after J. J. Guthrey's
mangled body was found at Kendrick,
the Star published story regarding
the murder 1t was not a very long
story, but it was almost complete. 1t
expressed no opinion as to the guilt
OF innocence of the accused and it did
not try to infame public opinion
against them.
A few days later, the OcaIa Banner,
which is a weekly paper, also printed
a story about the tragedy. 10 differed
but little from the Stars account, and
it also refrained from trying to create
any sentiment against the accused.
We have been informed by we'll
trained lawyers that these two news
paper stories will complicate the trial
Of the men accused of the murder of
Guthrey, and, if it goes against the
defendants will give their lawyers a
good claim for another trial. Judg-
ing by this, the only juror who will be
a competent juror will be one who
has not read a newspaper; or, better,
one who can't read anything.
How silly is this doctrine; worthy
only of the dark years of over CEN
tury ago when education was SO re-
stricted that large majority of those
who could read thought everything
that appeared in print was gospel.
The story of Guthrey's murder was
printed in the Star, the Banner, the
Times Union, the Tampa Tribune and
the two Gainesville papers. How
many white citizens are there in this
county who do not read one of those?
Why does a civilized people spend
millions on education and then allow
lawyers to try to fill jury boxes with
men who can read nothing but the
Bible and the almanac, and generally
read only the almanac?
1t is the Stars opinion that a law
yer who desires to acquit an innocent
man, against whom there is a weight
of evidence. should try to obtain as
jurors the best informed men in the
community.
A well-informed man understands
that newspapers print news and not
evidence. He understands some of the
difficulty a reporter is under in OBJ
tanning news He understands that
when he is a member of a jury he
must base his verdict on the evidence
brought into court and not on that he
has heard or read outside. No mat
ter how many newspapers he has
| read, his mind is better trained and
| more judicial than that Of the man
who does not read, but who has prob
ably heard and had his judgment
warped by some account he has re
ceived viva voce from some other
man, who in turn has probably receiv-
ed from another. Stories that pass
from mouth to mouth always become
more distorted than those that are re-
corded in print and are not changed
unless a more probable version is
/ given.

Sidney Morris Rhymes, wanted in

DR.. S. Earl Taylor, executive secre-
tary of the Interchurch World Move
ment, says that a few well equipped
missionaries could do more to pacify
Mexico in month than an army could
in a century. Illiteracy, disease and
the lack of evangelical influence are
said to be the factors retarding Mex
lean development. DR.. Taylor over
looks the fact that American mission
aries have been going to Mexico for
fifty years. If they were not able to
prevent the beginning of the disorders
that now affict that unhappy country,
it is foolish to suppose they could now
allay them. We guess DR.. Taylor was
trying to pull the interchurch leg.

Naturally poison prepared according
to this formula cannot be mixed In
large quantities and be left for very
long time without having poison dust
off from the kernel. However, it does
not dust off much within ten days or
two weeks.
Factors Governing Distribution.
The question when is the best time
to poison ground squirrels presents
fertile field Of argument in Idaho
From experience it has been found that
the most effective way to eliminate
unnecessary argument on this point
is simply to state that, 'The best time
to poison ground squirrels Is from the
day you see the first one in the spring
until there are none left in your coun-
ty." This statement emphasizes two
important factors-that is the neces-
sity of thorough and systematic work,
and also the fact that the squirrels
will eat the bait at practically any
time of the year during which they
are active, if the bait is prepared ac-
cording to either OF the foregoing
formulas. Cooperating farmers are
always advised, however, to poison as
early in the year as possible. In this
way the natural increase of young
squirrels is automatically eliminated
and it is also much easier TO locate
the burrows early in the season.
1t is urgently suggested that tea
spoonful Of the recommended bait be
scattered on the clean hard surface of
the ground near every burrow in the
area to be poisoned. The reason for
not putting the bait in the burrow
lies in the fact that the ground squir-
rel does not find his food there. Also
in running in and out of the burrow
considerable amount of bait would
be covered up and wasted. The pois-
oned bait is not put on the mound of
the burrow because of the fact that
the squirrel in cleaning out the bur-
row is very likely to cover it up with
dirt In scattering a teaspoonful of
the bait on the clean hard surface of
the ground near the mouth of the bur-
row, the squirrels find the bait most
readily and under the most favorable
conditions. Placed in this manner
and in scattered teaspoonful guam
titles at a place there is no danger of
poisoning stock, even in pasture fields.
Careful attention to pasture fields,
roads, uncultivated fields as well as
cultivated fields during all times of
the year while the squirrels are active
has been demonstrated to bring per-
manent and satisfactory results in the
practical determination of the ground
squirrel.
