cost was a smaller percentage

cause of a larger volume, the
shop effected economies and

That was five years ago. To-

Blister Rust in State-Commission
er f. w. Waite has received bulletin
from Lee A. Strong, chief quarantine
office of the state department of agri-
culture, warning him against a pest
known as the ''white pine blister
rust y which made its appearance in
British Columbia about d year ago, and
despite the efforts of forestry officials
in Washington, crossed the line and at
tackled the forests in that state, and it
is feared may spread to California. The
.twhite pine blister rust is a blight
which attacks pine trees and black
cnrrant bushes and unless checked,
spreads very rapidly, many times des-
troying entire pine forests and berry
fields. According to information sent
out by the state department of agrieul-
ture, there are II varieties of white
pine and over "a of black currants,
each of which is susceptible to the
blight, which seems to concentrate on
these two general growths only. The
horticultural commissioner is asked to
make a survey of any white pine trees
or currant bushes imported into this
county in recent years and careful
check will be made to see if they arel
effected by the blight.

HINTS FOR THE
MELON GROWER
New Land Is Best for WatermeIons as
II Lessons Risk OF Disease.

Watermelon growers of Central Florida
should have their seed in the ground by
February 90. Growers of South or North
Florida should plant few days earlier
or later.
New land is best for watermelons. II
you cannot get new land, select a plat
where melons have not been grown for
FIVE or six years. This lessons the risk
Of disease.
Watermelon land should be broad cast
ed and disc narrowed two or three weeks
before planting time.
About ten days before planting, check
off the field and apply from 400 to 600
pounds of fertilizer to the acre. putting
II around the places where the seed will
be planted. This means that the fertilizer
will become incorporated into the soil
and there will he less danger of injury
to the seed from the caustic action of
the fertilizer.
1t is a good idea to follow the first
planting with one or two others, about a
week intervening between each. This is
advised because frost is liable to kill IN
expectedly the first planting.

MARKETING WORRY
is UP TO FARMER
Many Farmers in Counties Cooperate
in Buying and Therefore Effect
Big Saving.

According to the Washington agri-
cultural conference. the marketing
problem is the most serious one facing
err has mastered the technicalities OF
this phase of the agricultural game, al
least as well as he has mastered other
phases, marketing will continue as his
most battling problem.
But this is being done.
County Agent J.. J. Sechrest of Ham
ilton county has reported that the
farmers of his county have come to-
gether and comparatively ordered 700
tons of fertilizers. His report added
that about 81 ton on the entire order
was saved to the farmers. Isn't that
solving the farmers marketing prob
lem?
Again. County Agent c. E. Mat
thews of Suwannee county reports the
farmers of his county as buying seed
potatoes of better varieties in carload
quantities. And in another report he
states that the farm bureau of Suwan-
nee is ordering the farmers fertilizers,
saving them from $3.50 to Sc a ton.
Isn't that solving the farmers market
ing problem?
Certainly It Is solving the buying
end of it. And we confidently believe
that county agents like the two re-
ferred to above, If given the chance,
win come very near to leading their
farmers to the correct solution of the
other end of the marketing problem

POULTRY RAISING

Feeds Have Reduced in Price and Eggs

Returns.

Last year was profitable one for
Florida poultry keepers. Feeds have
been modest in price. and eggs and
poultry have brought satisfactory re-

not found fault in the cost of eggs and
live poultry, as they have been as eco
nomical a source of food as the prod

Experienced poultrymen are locating
in Florida and engaging in the bust

ROT OF SUGAR CANE
CAN BE PREVENTED
Plant Only Healthy Canes After Dip
ping Them into Bordeaux
Mixture.

Red rot, a fungus disease OF sugar
cane, is rapidly spreading over the
state and, unless strict measures
against its spread and establishment
are taken, 10 liable to seriously reduce
the syrup and sugar production OF
Florida.
The following suggestions are Of
fered for its control by DR.. Q. r. Bur
ger, plant pathologist of the Florida
experiment station:
1. Plant only healthy canes. Any
canes showing even the slightest dis
coloration of the interior should be
discarded. In sections where the dis
ease has become prevalent, get seed
from other localities.
2. AS an extra preventive, dip the
canes selected for seed into bordeaux
mixture just before planting. This will
kill any fungus that may have gotten
onto the cut ends or surfaces. A large
wooden trough is convenient for hold
ing the bordeaux mixture for dipping
purposes. The formula consists of {
pounds of copper sulphate, pounds OF
lime and so gallons of water.
3, A method of dealing with the dis
ease that has been practiced in the
West Indies is to plant some other va
riety not subject to red rot.
When the diseased cane is split
lengthwise the soft tissues on the in
side show a red discoloration. In the
red areas there also occur large white
spots which shade of into red. These
white spots are especially character
istic of red rot.
The farmer who has any reason to
believe his seed cane has red rot in it
should by all means follow the sugges-
tions given in paragraphs / and :
above.

aAFRICAN HISTORY
SHOWN ON SCREEN
Thrills of Livingstone Rescue Pre-
served in Photodran1a of StanIey's
Expedition.

The first installment Of with
Stanley in Africa Universars new
thrills from history serial, starring
George Walsh and Louise Lorraine,
has been received at the Bonita thea
ire, and is pronounced the most re-
markable serial since chaptered photo
plays were devised. Based on actual
historical events, the new serial, an
exact and authentic story written
around the heroic exploits Of Capt.
Henry NJ. Stanley, adventurer, soldier
of fortune and explorer, is so true to
actual history and so engaging IS to
plot and suspense. Universal officials
have named this new departure in
serial construction a Continued fea-
ture" 1t will be shown at the Bonita
theatre beginning Wednesday.
1t is promised as the forerunner of
a new form of continued screen story.
Universal has already several other
historical chronicles being whipped
into continuity form for production as
continued features" They form a
chain of moving pictures which will
portray the winning of the frontier,
both in this country and other lands,
and which will show actual characters
from history performing the deeds
which made them famous. The stirring
times when civilization was striving
to obtain a foothold in darkest Africa
are shown with verisimilitude.
Great Thrills.
Since its initial announcement of
with Stanley in Africa" and the plan
to continue this new form of chap
tered films, based on actual histori-
cal events, Universal has been ap-
preached by various schools and his
torical societies seeking tie-ups for
special showings of these continued
features.
with Stanley in Africa" deals with
the rescue trip Of Capt. Stanley to
find the lost English explorer, DR.. Da-
vid Livingstone, and includes all the
thrills and adventures of the hardy
and daring soldier of fortune who fol-
lowed Livingstone into the heart of
the Dark Continent from Zanzibar to
Ujiji. No serial ever contained great
err thrills nor more suspense than the
new walsh-Lorraine feature. These
thrills, however, are faithful reproduc-
tions of actual events, just as they
happened fifty years ago. School boys
and girls will see the heroic fig
ures from their history text-boo in
exact counterpart, and grown-ups will
see romantic historical characters
around whom countless stories Of ro-
nance and adventure have been writ
ten.
The story of with Stanley in At
rica" opens in New York City in 1870.
Interesting sidelights on the customs
and dress of the period have been
shown. One of the most unusual
phases OF this sequence is a scene OF
tenement fire in New York's slunns.
Old fashioned firemen's uniforms and
the now obsolete fire-fighting appara-
tus have been reproduced with much
attention to authentic detail An At

CORN is The BEST
BREAKFAST CEREAL
Such Cereals and Quick Bread Are
Palatable, Appetizins, Economical
and Sasily Prepared.

The best way TO find out which
cereal is more economical for the fam
lily TO use without impairing the en-
ergy- giving qualities of the family's
menu is to compare prices of the diff
ferent cereals.
According to food specialists of the
Home Demonstration Department.
Florida State College, Tallahassee, all
cereal grains have practically the
same food values when eaten in a
mixed diet containing plenty Of milk,
vegetables and fruits. Therefore, at
present low prices. corn may well be
used in place OF other grains on the
family table.
Quick breads and breakfast cereals
In which corn is the chief ingredient
are Ealatable, appetizing and easily
prepared. Recipes for them will be
sent 10 persons who write to the pre-
viously mentioned office a, Tallahas-
see.
Many heusekeepers learned during
the war to prepare corn foods in many
different ways. and now that corn is
so .cw in price. careful housewives
are coming again OF its wider use.
