ATTEMPT is MADE TO BOMB
"PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON

Green Bay, Wis, March 80. - A
small bomb was thrown last night
in the Union Congregational church
where 500 persons had gathered to
hear a lecture by William e. pussy
FOOT Johnson. F. c. Walker ran
down the aisle, grasped the bomb and
started out with it when it exploded
in his hand. The bomb, filled with
black powder, apparently was of an
amateurish make.
Mr.. Johnson at the time was in an
other church making a speech.
One woman tainted and a general
rush was made for the Union Congre
gational church exits when the bomb
was thrown in. The crowd was quiet
ed, however. and Lewis L, Holton,
another prohibition speaker who had
been talking, resumed his speech.

SIAMESE TWINS
CONDITION DOES
NOT IMPROVE

i Chicago, March 29.--Death still
lurked in the shadows of the hospital
room today where lie Josepfa and
Rosa Black, who we're joined at birth
and have been called 'The Siamese
Twins" They continued in virtually
an unconscious state, Josepfa entire
ly oblivious of her surroundings and
Rosa in a eomatous condition.
The long considered operation to
separate the sisters Is entirely con-
tingent on the death of one which
physicians have said would mean the
death of the other. Should Josefa die
of the yellow jaundice, which has
stricken both, Rosa might possibly
live two or three days but death
would be certain without an opera
ton, DR.. Benjamin blackstone said.
The mere separation of flesh and
bone would be easy, according to the
physicians, but the effect of the op-
GRAFTON upon the mental and nervous
system has been considered highly
preblematical.

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES
VIM. CONNIE, County Agent

VIM. CONNIE, County Agent
Citrus bloom throughout the coun-
~ seems ia be good on all varieties
OF oranges, but the grapefruit bloom
up 10 now is certainly shy Every
wneIe / have been there is the same
complaint.
Several of the larger trees have
bloom on the top and little inside,
mat is all. 1t looks as if there
would be a heavy June bloom. A
few years ago this same condition
was noticed and heavy June bloom
was the result.
DO not wait until the aphis or
plant lice show up on the watermei-
ons and cukes, but spray now with
Bordeaux $50 or AS, plus and
one half ounces Black leaf 40. lit
tie prevention is worth lots of cure
On account of the irregularity of
the citrus bloom there is still time
TO spray with lime sulphur $50 for
oranges and Las for grapefruit where
scab and melanose are present.
Some communities are inaugural
ing Community spraying, i. e., few
parties will get together and buy a
spraying machine, and do their own
spraying collectively. This is good
plan and is worthy of consideration
Community spraying in some OF our
| towns would give good results, as SO
many people are unable to get their
trees sprayed.
To make the Easter Lilies bloom
well and full, COW manure placed in
/ ~, hnr of
let soak for three days. This SHOULD
be diluted one half in one half with
clear water, soak the earth around
the bulbs but do not touch the foil
age, about every two weeks.
Watch for the chinch bug on the
| leaves, those brown dead reas. For
eradication, use common laundry
soap, five pounds, dissolved in one
gallon of water add three ounces of
Black leaf 40, mix all thoroughly and
add twenty-five gallons of water and
sprinkle around the affected creas,
not on tin other words the parts
not affected should be sprinkled to
! keep the bug from spreading.
Roses that refuse to open fairly
and have yellow spots on the leaves
can be sprayed to advantage by US
ing "Pyrox" This is good fungicide
and insecticide, not strong enough
for bad cases, but good enough for
the flower garden.
We are still pretty busy. Every
one seems to want the county agent
at once. The county is large so we
would appreciate having little more
time to keep that engagement that
was broken.
Friday and Saturday a divisional
meeting of county agents was held
in Lakeland. State and Washington
officials were present Topics of
interest and benefit to all CT us were
discussed. All South Florida was
represented.

when Florida slacke"s in her shipping of grape
fruit CT oranges. The buyers operate the year
round not for season only. Their trade is won
by the salesman who can supply all their needs
who can furnish them. not only their requirements
in oranges and grapefruit, but their apples, peach
rs celery or any one of the fifty odd fresh fruits
and vegetables which are shipped in carlots.
Accurate up-tc-the- nitrate market inforrna-
ton is wired to the Florida citrus headquarters
CT the A, F. G. in Orlando by its 1855 sales Off
ces. This is supplemented by full reports on
cupples and movement of other fruits which
might affect prices Of Florida fruits. From the

the markets Through this highly developed in
formation system the knowledge and exTericnce
of all A. F. G.. statesmen is made available to the
Orlando citrus sales force.
Personal representation in all carlot markets
gives the A. F. G. tremendous advantage over
less favored sales systems 1t makes for prompt
acceptances. It prevents uniustfiabe reflections
and claims for allowances. It assures quick and
accurate returns.
Standards ia sales practice and methods have
been built up by the A. F. G.. Each plan that
seems to make for Improvement has been te5t2:l.
If found practical it has been adopted. The result
is smoothly working sales gysteTa ttat is CT
practicable benefit to growers through the better
average prices received.
Receivers and iobSers prefer TO handle fruit
shipped through the A. T. G.. because they arc
given help in selling it. Advertising and per-
sonal work among retailers keeps them custo-
mers for goods carrying the A. F. G. trademark.
Retailers favor A. F. G. shippers because the
American Fruit Growers does not stop at sec
ing that commodities move from its packing
houses to receivers and from the receivers and
iobbers to retailers. 1t helps retailers to sell to
the ultimate consumers, not by seasonal adVe"-
Using but by giving continuous publicity tho
year round to fruits and vegetables sold under
it's trademark. Advertising by newspapers and
other publications, by posters and painted blllc-
tins by direct mail canvass demonstrations end
