The fact that the FLORIDA CIT
RUS EXCHANGE with all of its
packing houses in the state, will pos
itively close the doors and refuse to
receive ANY MORE MEMBER
AFTER OCTOBER 1st, is a matter
worth the solemn thought and con
sideration of each citrus grower who
has not either sold his fruit or placed
it in the hands of the Exchange.
It is a weir known fact proven last
year, that fruit buyers are waiting
until October 1st passes and they
will then have out of their way their
greatest competitor in the fruit busi
ness, which is the EXCHANGE.
When you can not come to the Ex
change, the buyer can offer you HIS
PRICE and you cannot help your
self, you must either take what he
I offers, handle your fruit vourself or
let it rot on the trees.
With the few days remaining why
not come to the nearest house or to
the office in Arcadia and place your
fruit in the hands of the FLORIDA
CITRUS EXCHANGE and net all that
your frWt is worth and save the pro
fits of the middleman, THE BUYER?
, There are other reasons for com
ing to the Exchange. You can buy
your fertilizers, plows and any mater
ial for developing your grove
through the Supply Company and
thus you become in this way not only
a WHOLESALE SELLER BUT A
WHOLESALE BUYER.
REMEMBER AFTER OCTOBER
1st NO ONE THEN NOT IN THE
EXCHANGE WILL BE ACCEPTED.

I It is a well known fact that some
very destructive diseases enter such
plants as tomatoes, cabbage, egg
plant, pepper, and a few others from
the soil of the seedbed. E. F. De
Busk, formerly a Florida county
i agent but at present assistant boys'
club agent, says it is extremely Im
portant that the seedbed be thoroly
sterlized before being planted, but
that it should be ready for planting!
before being sterilized. Pulverize j
the sou to a depth ol about ten
inches and then level down, leaving
the bed with a smooth surface.
There lire several methods of ster
ilizing, but the most practical and
applicable to the greatest number of
conditions is by the use of formalde
hyde. Use one pint of regular 40
percent commercial formaldehyde to
6 V4 gallons of water. Apply this
solution to the seedbed with a sprink
ler, so as to get a uniform distribu
tion, using the diluted solution at thr
rate of one gallon to two square feet
of surface to be sterilized,
The bed should then be blanketed
with old sacks to prevent too rapid
evaporation of moisture and conse
quently the liberation of the formal
dehyde gas before it lias thoroly pen
e traced the soil. This treatment
should be given two weeks before
planting the seed. Two days after
treatment remove the covering and

about 200 yards through mud and

cculd not get close enough to it
without attracting Butler's attention,
as they had to approach the siill in
the open. They lay silent for a
while and watched the negro busily'
engaged in the manufacture of
"shine." They saw him run off
three gallons and then fake it in a
Jug to the creek nearby and place it
in the water to cool. He then went
back to make more of the "stuff that
Inebriates."

I milch cow with a large .bell tied
around her neck came within a few
feet of them and was on her way to
a small body of water to get a drink,
which was within a few feet of the
still. The officers crawled behind
the cow and the noise from her bell
kept Butler from hearing them.
They got within 20 fevt, of the still
and then waited for Butler to go
back after his three-gallon jug of
shine that he had placed in the water
to cool. When he reached his hand
down in the water for the Jug Gar
ner covered him with a rifle and
ordered him to hr.lt. Dishong then
covered him with a shotgun and
searched him. A .38 Smith and i
Wesson revolver was found in his
hip pocket.
A 30-gallon can with the necessary
coil and six quarts of ready-made
booze were found inside the little
vine-shaded room where the still
was. Butler was all alone in the
Isolated spot and no doubt felt per
fectly secure.
The negro was carried before
Judge Walden and fined $500 tor

coaled weapons.
Here's Something Worth Knowing.
Listen to this, fishermen, There's
a man residing in New York state who
has discovered a reliable way to learn
when the fish are biting, -without go
ing to a stream and trying his luck.
Here Is the formula : Catch and keep
nlive a catfish. When you wish to go
fishing, dig some Worms and throw
them to the catfish. If he eats them,
the lish will bite; but if he don't, you
might as well stay at home. Exchange.

Land in Canada is cheap. The time
Is coming when it won't be cheap,
Acreage will cost as much there as
here. And then whai Is the farmer
going to do? Where is he gning?
The refit of the world, excepting .Si
beria and the Sahara, already is
crowded.
Maybe by that time he will have
learned the secret of the over-crowded
Dane. Hollander and Belgian. He
will try to grow more food in a small
er area. He will cultivate more In
tensively. He will try doing what
Jm Hill advised years ago, He will
make two blades gfWN where but one
has grown. He will harvesl more
bushels to the acre.
The wiser of the agriculturists al
ready are doing that. They find it
more profitable and more comfortable
than selling out and settling in a
colder clime. -Minneapolis News.
