The disease, which often proves
very serious to pepper crops, causes
irregular. round spots to develop no

spots are almost white in the very
center and are surrounded by gray
ish brown, dead area. The green
part OF the leaf bordering on these
spots is often yellowish. The spots
often become numerous and the af-
rect2d leaves wilt and fall.

says, ''is not severe. very little dam

plants lose all of this leaves.
The disease is caused by fungus
which is easily scattered by wind and

HOW no IMPROVE THE
IN ESTOCE or FLORIDA

Read the following pointers on
how to improve the livestock of this
state by Professor John NJ. Scott, ami
NAL industrialist OF the Florida Ex-
pertinent Station:
/. Do not use scrub sire. BY
this is meant 4 sire OF no particular
breed or mixture of two or more
breeds.
2. Do not overrrowd the summer
range.
). Do not expect your livestock to
obtain a good living on the open
rang" or among the pine trees during
the winter months. but rather sup
Diy them with good nutritious food
such as velvet beans or Japanese
cane.
4. DO not select the sire from
within the herd. Rather introduce a
size 'hat will inluse new blood.
). Do not use sire poorer ,han
the one discarded.
G. Good blood improves the aual-
ity Good feed also does it's part, but
J combination of good blood and good
feed will work wonders in the inn
p'ovement of Florida livestock.
Z. Native Florida livestock is
good foundation stock. The main
need is good sires. Two crosses on
native stock, when properly fed, win
mako 4 wonderful change for the bet
.cr in both size and quality

gains: stimulilk, crushed corn, and
shorts, equal parts by weight. This
is to be fed at the rate of about one
pound Of the mixture for every ten
POUNDS OF live weight. Add to this
all of the green material the PIGS will
cat. AS they become older, shclled
corn or ear corn can be substituted
for the crushed corn, and cowpoas,
peanuts, ground velvet beans for the
sSimmilE and shorts.
'Of course pigs should be fed all
the green forage they will eat at all
times. For this purpose in winter
nothing is better and more suited to
Florida conditions than rape, oats or
rye.
After feeding, cleanliness is alb
so!utely essential. Cleanliness means
good health for pigs. This applies
TO the places in which the pigs are
kept pens, shelters and pastures-
and to the manner in which they are
fed. SEQ that they get rlenty of
Shade, and also plenty OF sunshine.
Provide an abundance of clean water,

NOTICE TO READERS
OF THE HERALD


Now that the season is at
hand when there will be num-
erous SOCIAL events of interest,
the Herald will state that it
wishes to be furnished with re-
ports Of all social activities
that are worthy of notice. Not
being a metropolitan daily em-
ploying 4 society editor, the
Herald must depend upon the
guests attending these social
functions to furnish it with the
desired reports. 1t should be
borne in mind that society edi-
tors Of metropolitan papers do
not write, and cannot possibly
write, all the accounts Of social
affairs appearing on the society
pages, but such reports are
prepared and sent in by guests
and the editors edit them
put them in shape for publca-
ton. Reports OF social affairs
are of general interest, and it
is suggested that the hostess of
each occasion select some guest
to write an account OF her al
fair. At any rate, there is no
ore connected with the Herald
who has time to attend all social
affairs and make reports CT
them, and the paper feels that
it should not be criticised If it
fails to carry satisfactory re-
ports of social events as re-
suit of lack of cooperation on
the part of those who should
be most interested in them.
