SCHOOL NOTES.
AS each day goes by, it is one day
closer to the days for which the boys
at S. S. C. have been looking for
ward to. Not so much the time for
going home, where they shall see
their loved ones, but for the day on
which they shall learn whether or
not they have passed to the higher
grade, thus climbing one step higher
on the ladder of life Everyone at
S. S. C. is deeply interested in his
books and is thinking of the founda-
ton that he is laying for his future
vocation, whatsoever it may be. They
realize that the arithmetic, history,
physics, bookkeeping, shorthand, etc,
that they are now studying will be
the foundation upon which they will
have to work during the days to
come.

der side of the potato leaves. In a
few days these eggs hatch into soft
shell beetles or slugs as they are some
times called. In the soft shell, or slug
form the potato beetle has an enor-
nous appetite and colony of them
will soon strip the foliage from a hill
of potatoes.
Hand picking is perhaps the best
method of getting rid of the hard
shell beetles. They may be killed by
either crushing them or dropping them
into boiling water. The slugs or soft
shell beetles cannot be gathered to so
good advantage, but they may be pois-
Oned by sprinkling the plants, while
the dew is upon them, with mixture
consisting of II heaping teaspoOnful Of
paris green to pint OF air-slaked lime
or land plaster. The easiest method
of applying the mixture is to place it
in cheese cloth or thin burlap bag
and dust the plants by shaking the bag
directly over them. 1t Is not necessary
to apply the poison to all the plants,
but only where the bugs have made
their appearance. The plants should
be inspected every day or two to see
that the bugs are not getting a start.
Flea Beetles Eat Holes.
Flea beetles are small insects that
eat round holes similar to shot holes
In the leaves of beans, tomatoes, and
a number of other garden crops. They
can be poisoned with the mixture Of
paris green and lime referred to for
potato beetles, or they can driven
away by busting the plants with fine
road dust, air-slacked lime, or with
very dry, pOwdery. sifted coal ashes.
Plant lice are more difficult to con-
troll, as they do not eat the leaves,
but stick their beaks into the leaves
and suck the juices. They are rather
difficult to control, as they are found
mainly on the under side of the leaves.
One remedy Is to spray with some
form of tobacco extract or nicotine
sulphate. using about one teaspOonful
In a gallon Of water In which there
has previously been dissolved one
inch cube of laundry soap. The mix
ture should be thoroughly stirred and
applied underneath the leaves espe-
clally, using some form of sprayer or
atomizer that will create fine mist.

Weeds and insects are garden enc
mics, and the time to kill both Is be-
fore they appear!
Careful stirring of the soil destroys
the little weed seedlings just after the
seeds have sprouted. Likewise, cult
walton keeps the garden in such shape
that insects do not find hiding place,
and are not SO liable to injure the gar
den crops. However, insects are al
most sure to attack certain of the gar
den crops and it will be necessary to
take precautions against them. Cut
worms, potato bugs, flea beetles, and
plant lice are the most troublesome
garden insects. DO not give them a
chance to get started.
The common cutworm does its work
during the night, cutting off the plants
just below the surface Of the soil
within a day or two after they are set
in the garden. One of the best ways to
prevent this injury is to surround the
stem plant with tube made Of stiff
paper or light cardboard, extending
an inch or so below the ground and
two or three inches above. These col
lars. or cutworm protectors, can be re-

IN 1S47 a play by an American author was
produced in New York theatre. 1t was the
custom then, as long since, for Americans
themselves to believe that that which repre-
scnted purest culture must come from over
seas
Before the curtain rose on this new play, the
leading actor stepped before the footlights and
read poem-prologue which scoffed at the idea
that an American could write drama, and
then rebuked the sneer by emphatcally declar-
ing that an American can. The audience
greeted the patriotic plea and the play with
cheers.
Since that day many Americans have written
many great plays. An American culture has
expressed itself as we'll in the field of fiction,
poetry and philosophy; in art, music and in
science.
Culture is Just as much a crop as corn. 1t is
the refinement of the product of the cultivated
field. Growing great crops, producing great
bulk we have refined our output into the best
makes of food and clothes the world has ever
knownC From the earth we dig both gold and
iron ore, and through the refining processes
we produce the delicatey intricate watch

TWO LITTERS A YEAR
November Time TO Breed 'SOwS for
Spring FarrOwing

Farmers should strive to secure two
litters of pigs a year from every
brood sow on their farms. To do this
sows must be given more attention
than they now receive in many cases.
In speaking on this subject recent
ly, John NJ. Scott, animal Industrial
ist of the Florida Experiment Sta
ton, said:
"A SOW turned out to rustic for
herself cannot bring into the world
more than one litter of strong healthy
pigs year. With a little attention,
that costs no money, and with lit
tie extra feed that can be grown on
the farm at small outlay, the same
SOW will bring two litters Il year
easily. In this way farmer can Sc
cure from his SOW what his neighbOr
will secure frim his two, following
the method Of letting the sows rustic
! for themselves"
! Professor Scott continued, 1T is
easy to produce two litters a year in
Florida, if the proper attention is
given TO the breeding animals. Sows
which are expected to falrow in the
spring should be bred during October
and November, the first half Of No
lvember being a very desirable time
This will bring pigs in February. The
sows may be bred in April or May to
farrow again in August or September.
This fall litter will be out of the way
/ in time to breed for the spring litter.
IF the sows are in good condition
when the pigs are weaned, they
should breed within three days after

EVERY HOME SHOULD
HAVE RUNNING WATER
Little Money Needed 10 Install Il SIM
pie System That Will Eliminate
Much Household Drudgery

Running water in the farm home
is no longer considered luxury, but
a necessity and a possibility. 1t is
true that some homes can have more
elaborate systems than others, but
every farm can and should have run
ming water at least in the kitchen
This is not only idealistic but busi-
less proposition that faces every
farmer, says Professor Frazier Rog-
ers of the Florida College of Agri-
culture.
Every farm has some source of
water to draw upon and the man of
the house should in justice to his
family devise some means whereby
this winter will not have to be carri-
ed to the house in buckets. Such
would eliminate much of the drudg-
cry, especially to the women, who
need every consideration.
To have running water does not
necessitate the outlay OF much money.

LOSS DUE TO CITRUS SCAB
MAY NOW BE ELIMINATED

Scab which annually causes a loss
of many thousand of dollars to citrus
growers, may be completely controll-
ed, according to specialists of the
State Plant Board of Florida. In a
statement by officials of this board
bordeaux mixture is said to be the
material which will do this. That
statement reads as follows:
with the coming of cooler wealth
er the amount of citrus scab on young
seedlings is greatly Increased. Nur-
serymen and growers who are raising
citrus seedlings are urged TO be on
the alert.
This disease may be completely
controlled by bordeaux mixture, if it
is properly made and applied. 1t is
important that the bordeaux be ap-
piled before the seedlings become af-
fected, for it is a preventive, not a
cure.
Experienced nurserymen consider
an application of bordeaux equivalent
to an application of fertilizer. If bor-
deaux is to be used in a grove, oil
emulsion should be added so that the
combination will contain l percent of
oil. The efficiency of neither the oil
nor bordeaux is reduced by the pres
ence of the other.

e mended Iater than the commercial

farm. Stalks of the first crop are
jucier and as rule give a better
stand. Stubble cane has little vital
ity; is dry and woody
Care should be taken that no dis
eased stalks are selected for seed.
The time to head off disease is at the
bedding of the seed.
Cut the cane off near the ground
and pile in layers with the bottoms
touching the ground and the tops Gov
cring the cane already piled, much
like shingles on a roof.
Cover the bed abount three or
four inches deep with earth from
alongside the bed. Leave narrow
1O-inch strip in the center of the bed
uncovered. This strip should be fill
ed in after a few weeks. 1t serves
as Il ventilator However. if there is
danger Of frost or severe cold, the

The cane should be banked while
wet. If advantage is taken of rains
il will be unnecessary to apply water
to it. Frosts usually follow rains in
winter. If the cane is banked With
water on it, it will keep much better.
South Florida farmers need not
bed seed cane, but may plant it in
the new field Immediately. Many
farmers prefer TO do this, since it
saves much labor"

One can begin with common pitcher
pump and sink placed conveniently
in the kitchen. This is far better
than carrying water in a bucket.
Later an improvement over this can
be made. The force hand pump with
a barrel tank might come second.
Finally would come a gasoline-driven
pump and an eleva ed tank, which is
much better than either of the form
