NEDALIA WILL. CONTROL
COTTONN-C SCALF

The cottony-cushion scale increases
very rapidly and is capable of killing
the tree outright unless control
measures are taken. They are found
mainly on citrus, but also inrest
roses, wormwood, myrtle, mulberry
many weeds and ornamcntals. The
only permanent and satisfactory
method Of controlling this scale in a
large grove, is by the introduction
of the Australian lady-beCtle (NCdal-
ia). Vedalia is much smaller than
most Of the native lady-beetles being
only one-eighth inch Ions. 1t is car
dinal red in color, spotted and firing
cd with black. The larva, which al
so feeds on the scale, is likewise red.
Vedalias are supplied to growers
at the cost of rearing by the State

is not present, write DR.. +. w. Ber-

cording TO Professor r. C. Blake
poultry instructor for vocational stu.
dents, University of Florida.
To do this go into your flock DIR
ing August and by systematic culling
separate the layers from the non
layers, and observe that You get a.
many as you did previous to culling.
The following are some important
indications OF laying: \ hen thai has

shanks and beak; the feathers will be
worn, rough and broken; the beak
good usage; the pelvic bones Chose
two bones which come down from the
back bone and almost meet in front
of the venD should be pliable, free
from fat. and spread wide enough
apart to allow two fingers to be easily
placed between them. In case of the
larger breeds like Rhode Island Reds,
Wyandottes. and Plymouth Rocks,
this space should be the width OF
three fingers.
The body Of the good laying hen
contains three distinct wedges, in
dicating good body capacity. e
first wedge is seen when looking at
the bird from the side. The back
should be straight, with the lines of
the breast and fluff sloping obliQuely
toward the ground. The second
wedge is seen when looking at the
back OF the bird, the wide part Of
the wedge being in the region of the
tail, and gradually getting smaller to-
wards the neck. The third wedge is
seen firm the rear of the bird, with
the wide part of the wedge at the
base of the tail, and the point end
ing between the legs.

BEAN CATERPILLAR
CAN BE CONTROLLED

Indications are favorable for a
heavy infestation of the velvet bean
caterpillar this season as the moths
have been seen as far north as
Gainesville, which is almost a month
earlier than they usually appear In
that section, according to the Flori-
IA Experiment Station.
By recognizing the moths in the
field one can easily predict the COM
ing of the caterpillars. When an
abundance Of the moths are in the
field !, means that it will be ncces-
sarv TO spray or dust in about u
days. The moths are variable in
color but are usually shade Of sray
or brown \ characteristic mark,
and one that enables the farmer to
distinguish this moth from any other
is a double line that extends diagon-
ally across both wings.
The application of lead arsenatc is
the best means known for controlling
the caterpillar. II should be obtGin-
ed in the powdered form as it is more
uniform in composition in this state.
Not more than IL ounces Of pow
dered lead arsenate 10 80 gallons of
water can be safely used. Even with
this small amount one should put a
pound and a half of quick lime Tor
quarts of fresh Hme-sulphur solution)
in the LIQUID, and keep it well aSitat-
ed while spraying.
When dry arsenate is used as
dust il should be mixed with about
four times its volume of air-slaked
lime. At least Is pounds of the mix
ture (three pounds of lead arsenate)
should be applied to an acre, using a
busting machine to secure an even
distribution.
1t is not always necessary to treat
the entire field. If the most severity
infested portion is treated, birds and
other natural enemies will conSregate
on the untreated portion and hold
the caterpillars in check. busting is
somewhat cheaper than spraying, and
it should be done in the early morn
ing or after q rain, while the vines
are wet

is UNLAWFUL TO PLANT
UNINSPECTED CUTTINGS

When cuttings of woody or shrub
bv perennials are removed from a
neighbors yard to your own, great
chances are taken in introducing seri-
Gus insect pests and diseases, and
YOU are also violating state law.
Very often. with good intentions
neighbors are given cuttings OF p0in-
settias. HIBISCUS, cape jasmine, grape
vines, banana plants, and oak and
cherry laurel trees grown in the yard
or garden, to transplant to their
yards, or such may be received by
them. In either case these plants
may carry some serious insect or dis
ease. Sometimes neighbors. who had
nothing to do with the transplanting
suffer because the insects get on their
property.
For profession against such losses
the Florida Plant Act of 1915 was
passed. 1t provides that all such
plants mentioned above must be in
spected and certificate tag attached
before they can be legally removed
from one property to another.
In making this law It was not the
intention of the state to burden the
people, but to protect them. For

FONTS REGARDING THE CUR
ING OF THE HAY CROP

The feeding value of hay not only
depends on the kind of plant used,
and the stage at which it is cut, but
on the manner in which it is handled
after cutting, according to w. f.
Stokes. forage specialist.
Hay from legumes such as COW
peas. soybeans. beggarweed, etc.
have much higher feeding value
than hay from grasses, due to
the high protein content of the le-
gumos. As a rule these crops are
harder to cure than the grasses be
cause of their strong coarse growth.
Cowpeas should be cut for hay
when few of the under leaves are
beginning to turn yellow and fall,
and the first pods are mature. To
cure cowpea hay properly there
should be as little lear loss as posi-
BILE. and this requires little handling
with a short exposure TO intense sun
light
Beggarweed makes an excellent
hay where the stand is thick enough
10 keep the plants from growing
large. For best quality hay they
should be cut when first coming into
bloom, and cured quickly.
! Most grasses make the best hay II

PLANT A FALL GARDEN
Many Good Garden Crops Are Adapt
ell This Season

The list of fall vegetables that car
be planted is long one, and Prof
w. L. Floyd of the College of Agri'
culture gives the following sugges
lions as to the time OF planting anc
culture of some of the most import
ant
SNAP beans should be planted sc
that they will be thru bearing by the
middle of November. 1t takes six
to eight weeks for them to mature SC
they should be planted not later than
September.
"Bects are cold resistant and may
be grown throughout the winter
They do not terminate very well in
warm weather so they should be
planted until September or October.
The cabbage seeded may be
started now where it can be watered
and partially shaded. Such varieties
as the Jersey Wakefield and the
Premium Flat Dutch are desira BILE
for early planting.
Onion seed planted in a seeded
and pulled out when they are the
size of a lead pencil, three-fourths of
the top taken off, and the roots cut
back to one inch, and planted in rows
to 6 inches apart will grow well
through the winter.
Garden or English peas may be
planted any time from September to
February. The Gradus, Prosperity
and Thomas LaXton are desirable
varieties, which mature in 55 to 20
days.
"Radishes mature in so days, and
may be planted any time throughout
the fall and winter. 1t is important
that they be grown rapidly and well
watered, or they will be strong and
pithy.
"Rutabagas should be planted the
latter part of August or early Sep.
tember, as they require longer time
TO mature than turnips. The com
ron varieties may be planted any
time during September for fall anc
winter green's"

DEATH OF MISS ELISE BLOUNT
Young Woman Passes Away After
Illness of Three Weeks

General sorrow throughout the
community was awakened when
knowledge of the death of Miss Elise
Blount, which occurred Tuesday at
ternoon. was circulated. She died al
the home Of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. f. r. Blount, corner Cross street
and Retta Esplanade, after an i'll
ness of about three weeks, which
baffied the best medical skill. Though
seriously sick, many of her friends
did not know of it; even those clos
est to her, with knowledge of her
Illness, did not know that she was
in dangerous condition; and her
death was a shock to all.
Miss Elise was twenty-five years of
age and until this last illness was APP
parently in the best Of health. In
her death keen loss is sustained by
not only her fond parents, Of whom
she was the only child. but by many
friends and acquaintance. And,
while she has gone from the scenes,
the conflicts, the sorrows and the
pleasures of life, she will still live in
the hearts Of those who knew her
best.
Her future was fun Of promise and
none dare to ask why she was taken
from this life, unless, as flowers are
picked before the frost finds them
and thus is avoided witnessing their
decay. Twill be known why, though,
when the veil of mortal vision is rent
by immortality, and tits possible to
see, not as now, obscurely, but face
to face and with understanding.
Deceased had been a faithful mem
Der of the Baptist church since early
childhood. In this fact n h e
thought that twas a Loving Hand
that removed her to better world
can the sorrowing ones left behind
be reconciled.
Her remains were taken to Barlow
the place of her birth, Wednesday
morning, where, after impressive
funeral services, they were laid tC
rest. A profusion of beautiful flow,
ers and the attendance of many
friends, both from Barlow and Pun,
Ia Gorda, as well as from other near
by points, gave evidence of the es'
TEEN in which deceased was held.
The heartfelt sympathy of hun
dreds of friends goes out to the be-
reaved ones in their hour of sorrow.

Order Whitefiy Fungus Now

The chronological Department of
the State Plant Board still has fine
lot Of fungus cultures for controlling
common and cloudy-winged whitefies
and is very anxious to finish the dis
tribution of them during August as ii
will be rather late to use this fungus
in September. Besides, to keep the
fungus over until then nccessitates
placing it in cold storage which en-
tails extra expense and delay, and
results in a slight deterioration Of
the fungus. The cost of the fungus
is small, a charge of rs cents a cul-
ture being made to cover the cost of
growing them. One culture consists
of enough fungus to treat an acre
of grove. Orders should be accom-
panied by remittance, including post
age when ordered sent by parcelpost.
Weights of the cultures are as fol-
lows: l culture, lbs; 2 cultures, 4
lbs; 8 cultures, s lbs; 4 cultures, 9
lbs. Orders for five or more cultures
are preferably sent by express collect,
unless otherwise ordered.

BABY BEEF VERY PROFITABLE
Production Can Be Made on Land
Worth Not More Than $3.50 Per
Acre-AAways "Toppers."

Baby beef production can be made
most profitable on land worth not
more than $3.50 an acre, Of which at
least 80 per cent is easily cultivated,
says w. H. Peters, acting chief Of the
animal husbandry division Of the Uni
versity of Minnesota. BY baby beef
production, he says, is meant the
growing, fattening and marketing Of
beef calves at ages ranging from II
to "a months, 10 to IS months being
the most economical at which to sell.
"With sufficient fat on them when
placed on the market, baby beeveS
are always market toppers," Professor
Peters says. Baby beef production al
lows raising of more calves on the
same amount of land than does pro.
duction of stock or feeder cattle. Each
good baby beef steer should sell for
$50 to $50 more when one and one-half
years old than the average feeder
steer will bring at two and one-half
years Of age.
