Agricultural News Notes
LIVESTOCK TRAFFIC
Is HARD TO HANDLE
Many States Have Suitable Laws to
Protect Farmers From Dis
eased Cattle.

Only a few people are opposed to
regulating traffic in tuberculous live
stock, but their opposition is some
times effective, and several cases of
the kind have been traced by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. However, the department be-
lieves that cattle dealers who do not
favor tuberculosis eradication are in
fuenced by selfish motives and do not
represent the true spirit Of livestock
owners and others interested in health
Ter and better domestic animals.
Although many states have suitable
laws to protect farmers and other live
stock owners against traffic in tuber-
culous animals, the practice continues
in some localities. Here is an In
stance. In Massachusetts, a purebred
Holstein cow, valued at 500, was dis
posed of as a reactor; but instead of
being slaughtered or segregated, she
was later sold to a state institution
for $500. The herd at this institution
had previously been free of tubercu-
losis. 1t was being improved by the
purchase of new animals, and every
available precaution was taken to see
that they were healthy. Recently this
herd was retested and three reactors
were found, one of which was the COW
in question. All showed well marked
LESSONS of tuberculosis on post-mortem
examination.
There is no law or regulation in
Massachusetts preventing the sale or
requiring the segregation of reactors.
A few cattle dealers led the opposition
to bill before the last general court
providing for the control and sale of
animals reacting to the tuberculin
test. Owing to the Importance OF eradi-
eating tuberculosis from livestock, the
Department of Agriculture is furnish
ing to the public full information re-
garding the nature of the disease and
the way to get rid of it.

FIGHTING DISEASE
OF THE SUGAR CANE
Efforts of the Plant Board Have APP
parently Eradicated 1t From
Many Parts of State.

That the MOSAIC disease of sugar
cane is not going to have it's own way
entirely in Florida is the statement
made by WiImon Newell, plant COM
missioner of the State Plant Board.
Efforts by the Plant Board during
the past two seasons have apparently
eradicated this disease entirely from
the peninsular section of the state. In
West Florida, however, complete erad-
ication was not possible, owing to lack
of finances and continuous spread Of
the disease from adjoining infected
areas in Georgia.
In Louisiana the MOSAIC disease has
been found to attack corn as well as
cane and the same thing may occur in
Florida. In order to provide for this
eventuality and to assist West FTori-
da farmers in Kidding their farms of
the disease the Plant Board has re-
Gently approved of plan whereby the
board, in cooperation with the bureau
of plant industry, u. S. Department
of Agriculture, viii grow immune va
rieties of sugarcane and distribute
these in small lots to the owners of
farms. This will en-
able the farmers to produce cane which
is entirely immune to the mosaic dis
ease. thus eliminating their losses from
this source and at the same time pro-
tecting their corn crops against in
lection.
The first distribution of the immune
cane viii be made by the board in
time for planting in the spring of 1923.

The BAT AS AN
AID TO AVIATION
Recent Experiments Made With the An
imals Furnish Some Interesting
Results.

| The uninitiated sometimes wonder,
when celebrating upon the strange works
| of nature, why certain birds, animals,
| insects, etc, were created, and ask what
possible benefit mankind derives from
them. Instead of a benefit they are often
| times just the reverse. Take the bat for
| instance. One can hardly justify the ex-
istence Of this flying rodent unless, per-
/ haps, for it's insect-eating proclivities, and
yet scientists have recently found it OF
considerable use in conducting some ex-
periments. as a result of which the haz-
ards of flying may be considerably re-
duced.
Experiments are continually being made
with a view to eliminating accidents in
airplane flights. Statistics show that a
considerable number of airplane accidents
were due to collisions in the air. due
either to carelessness or because of the
inability of the pilot TO see the other
plane which happened to be located at
blind angle. Recently experiments made
in England with several bats furnished
some very interesting results, Knowing
that bats can avoid objects they cannot
see, the experimenters blindfolded several
bats and released them in a room which
was crossed with many wires and divided
from another room by a grid containing
holes just large enough for the bat to fly
through. These nocturnal mammal never
touched the wires in their flight and were
able to fly through the holes with ease.
The experiment revealed the bats Sc
cret. He ennits note, often inaudible to
mans ears. This sound bounds back from
any barrier, conveying such accurate in
formation to his sensitive ears that no
can map out the space in front Of him
without any uncertainty. Aeronautical
experts believe that the airplaue NAV do
the same thing. Instruments are being
devised which are so sensitive that they
will record visibly and before the airman 5
eyes the progressive increase of such
sounds as the ground or some object that
is approached. 1t is said that informa-
ton would be supplied equally in the dark
or in mist and since sound travels faster
than the fastest plane, the warning
would come in plenty of time to avert a
crash. The fact that important radio
experiments are now being conducted il
devising warning signal instruments iLdi-
Gates that some progress along this line
is being made.

FLORIDA STATION
LOSES AN EXPERT
Professor J. 3. Thompson Leaves to
Take Dictatorship of Station
in Virgin Islands.

Again the Florida Experiment Sta
ton loses one of its most valuable
scientific workers. Professor ]. B.
Thompson, grass and forage crops
specialist, has gone to accept the di-
rectorship of the experiment station
at ST. Croiz1 Virgin Islands, at a
greatly increased salary.
The Florida station is not able to
compete with the ST. Croix station for
Professor Thompson's services. This
is made so because the amount of
money appropriated by the last legis-
lature for the stations maintenance
and work is so small, it is imperative
that salaries be kept abnormaIly low.
Professor Thompson was engaged
in forage crop and grass experiments
at Gainesville from October 1, 1917,
till his resignation, August 8, 1921. He
has perhaps a wider knowledge of
grasses adapted to Florida conditions
than any other man in the country.
His advices has been constantly sought
by farmers and cattlemen, and his
departure is a severe blow to one of
the most important lines of investiga-
ton being conducted by the Florida
station.

HERE is MORE ABOUT
TAX REVISION
STARTS ON PAGE ONE

sumably with the knowledge and ap-
prevail of the president that he viii
need $4,554. 100000 to meet govern
ment expenditures for the next fiscal
year. He told Congress also, in view
Of these expenditures, that taxes can
not be reduced.
"This meant, of course, that the re-
publican campaign promise to reduce
federal taxes would not, and, in fact.
could not be kept.
Chairman Fordney. who wrote the
wonderful tariff bill OF which the Sem
ate is expected to leave only the enact
ing clause. came to the political rescue
Of the administration and announced
a plan to reduce taxes regardless Of
the amount Of money necessarily need
ed to meet expenditures which would
create a deficit to be taken care Of by
borrowing the money. thus increasing
the public debt, but as the optimistic
Mr.. Fordney saw it, his plan would
make it appear that the party was
keeping its campaign pledge TO reduce
taxes and was making a grand record
of economy.
Upon his return from his vacation,
President Harding was called upon TO
choose between the Mellon plan OF pro-
viding for enough revenue to meet ex-
penditures and the Fordney plan for
juggling the taxes by fictitious reduc-
tons and false show Of economy. He
chose the Fordney plan, seemingly
an honest financial policy
to political expediency, which ought
to deceive nobody.
"The business world has waited long
for sane and honest revenue act in
order to adjust its affairs and escape
the business stagnation caused by two
years delay under republican rule in
revising the internal taxes. It will
not be satisfied with this sort OF po-
htical jugglery. Speaking as a BUSH
ness man myself I warn the repub
lican administration that business men
will not be fooled by such methods in
order to make a false show of econ
omy"
The ways and means committee
draft of the tax revision bill was put
in form today for presentation tomo--
row to the conference of house repuh-
licans which will decide upon the pro-
cedure for house consideration which
is expected to begin on Wednesday
and end with a vote late Saturday.

BETTER PRICES
ARE JUSTIFIED
tBy The Associates Prsss,.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12-Strong
hope for better prices in the agricul-
tural markets is justified by reductions
in the railroad rates on grain for ex-
port, already in effect and proposed,
according to statement issued at the
White House tonight.
Recent reductions in the export rate
on grains between Chicago and New
York, the statement said, win be fol-
lowed by sweeping revisions of grain
rates generally including those from
Mississippi river points and on the
lines to the gulf, in order that the
entire agricultural interest may fully
share in the benefits.
TN general" the statement con-
tinued, advances in freight costs are
passed on to the consumer by adding
them to the selling price. But in
grains, whose domestic price is domi-
mated by the foreign price of the ex-
ported surplus, the producer suffers
when rates go up and benefits when
they go down.

PRIZE WINNERS
OF DUVAL COUNTY
Individual Members Are Doing Elk
ceIIent Work in Each Depart
fnent of the Club.

(By Miss Ellen LeNoir, home demon
stration agent, Duval county,.
There are individual members
throughout Duval county who are do
ing fine work in each department Of
club activity,
Mabel Jones, of Mandarin, is in her
third year of poultry work. She has
some Ancona chickens on which she
has won first prize each Of the three
years. This year although the show
will not be until fall, she has already
won a first; for, in the early summer,
the poultry club held a preliminary
contest for the best trio, the best flock
and the best result from one setting
of pure bred eggs. BY Matching early
Mabel had trio that made the best
showing, according to a professional
Judge. Mabel won a short course
scholarship to Tallahassee last year.
Irma Richardson. of Riverview, has
for two years headed the list in can
ming in this county and, so, has won
a scholarship to the short course in
Tallahassee. Irma raises tomatoes
and peppers. She is far from market
and cannot sell much of her produce,
so what the family does not use fresh
she cans and preserves for their win
ter use. Last winter she sent north
some of her canned goods.
AS an all-around club member, En-
lily Pringle is hard to beat. A year
ago she bought, as she thought, set
ting of White Leghorn eggs. Out Of
the setting she got one chick, Brown
Leghorn. Instead of becoming dis
couraged and quitting she tried again
and from the eggs the agent got for
her, she has some fine pure bred
poultry. She has enrolled in the pan
try club too, in which the girls prom
sic to put up so containers for the
home pantry during the canning sea
son. On the first of July she already
had more than this amount canned.
She was almost through with the
years sewing requirement Of six
pieces at that time, too.

PROTECTING PLANTS
FROM ALL PESTS
Several Million Dollars Are Spent Annual
Iy by the Government to Combat
Them.

The federal government expends several
million dollars annually in efforts to COM
bat serious insects and plant diseases
that have been brought here from foreign
countries. Several thousand insects have
been listed in foreign countries which are
known to injure crops and which have
not yet been brought to our shores. Many
foreign plant diseases are also known to
occur. and it is of the utmost Importance
to prevent their reaching us. The federal
horticultural board. an independent branch
OF the department of agriculture, is en-
deavoring to keep as many of these alien
enemies out of the country as practicable.
Special guarantees have been issued and
rigid attention is being given to the in
spection of plants reaching us so as to
avoid the introduction of the pests.
The bureau of plant industry is desir-
Gus of encouraging in every way the pro-
ductlon of promising new crops in this
country and it's office of foreign seed
and plant introduction is cooperating with
horticulturists and plant growers in aid
ing them in introducing new varieties of
plants in such fashion that they will not
bring in any disease or insects. 1t is
often necessary to introduce plants in
very small numbers and to grow them
for a considerable time either in green
houses or under very special conditions
out OF doors to make sure that all pests
have been removed. When II is certain
that the plants are freed of insects or
diseases they may then be propagated
more extensively and distributed to COLA
borators. In this way new crops are in
troduced without danger to the country.
In the plant quarantine work. which
the federal horticultural board is conduct
ing, the Florida state plant board is par
ticipating actively and efficiently. AT
the principal ports of Florida, inspectors
are stationed whose duty is It to prevent
the introduction of plant pests sand pro-
hibited plants and plant products. This
service has on numerous occasions pre-
vented entry of pests which would have
undoubtedly occasioned enormous losses
and damage to our horticultural and agri-
cultural interests had they been intro
duced. The states Of California and
Florida have perhaps the most highly de-
veloped plant quarantine services. This
is but to be expected considering the
vast horticultural interests of these states.
The port inspection work is conducted
along much the same lines in both. The
California service was inaugurated some
% years ago. Floridas is of more recent
date. The value and efficiency of the
work of these two states is evidenced by
the fact that officials from other states
and from foreign countries have made
special trips for the purpose of observ-
ing and learning the methods practiced.
