which was laid over for further con
sideration. E. A. Stahl, D. S. Decker and A. K.
Aldridire presented a petition tor ex
tension of roads in the Bermont dis
trict, which was deferred for futher
act Ion.
The afternoon session of the board i
was devoted to consideration of the!
usual bills, after which the board ad- j
jotirned till Tuesday morning.
All the memera of the board were
present when their less! on was re
sumed, Tuesday morning.
The county attorney read a letter
from Attorney L'Engle of Jackson
ville, relating to the suits pending in
federal court on tile Murdock drain- j
age bonds. Tlie lengthy discussion I
that followed again disclosed the out-j
rageous injustice to which the people !
of the Murdock district are sujected !
through those bonds. It was author
itatively stated that, without any!
election being held , bonds in the
amount of 1100,000.00 were issued
against the lands of the district,
which contains only 17,000 acres of
land. The bonds and Interest were i
to be paid by the levy for five years
of an acreage tax, and some land
owners paid the tax in full lor the i
entire period. The contract fur drain
age was let, the contractor being put i
loading citizens on the subject.
The offer of the Mars Turpentine
Compan.v to hire the six convicts flow
under county sentence and working
the roads, was unfavorably regarded,
as figures were made by board mem
bers howig that economy would be
served by the county retaining the
prisoners.
The chairman brought up the ques
tion of calling an election to select a
permanent location for the county
site. It was suggested that the elec
tion be held on the date of the Juno
primary; but. fearing that it might
lead to complications, the date was
fixed for Tuesday, June 20th, 1922.
On request on the chairman, the
clerk read from his record a slate
nient of the amount of interest and
sinking fund and the dates when due
ot till the outstanding bonds of dis
tricts and county. This was wanted'

Some growers are spraying at this
season for scab on grapefruit. If
they will add tobacco extract (black
leaf 40) to the solution tor scab, they
will kill the thrips and thus do two
things at once.
Thrips are small yellowish-brown
insects about a twenty-fifth of an inch
in length. They feed on the petals
and other tender parts of the fiower,
which causes much of the bloom to
drop without setting fruit. Kggs are
laid in the tender stem at the base
Of the fruit and the young thrips,
which hatch out from these eggs in
three or four days, feed upon the de
veloping fruit and cause smooth, irregular-shaped,
sunken spots in the
skin. These spots mar the appear
ance of the fruit and lower its grade.
The avocado grower who is meet
ing trouble from pyriform scale and
50 gallons withertip needs but to spray his trees
spray straight ' just before the blossoms appear with
bordeaux-oil. Ask your county agent
about it.
Write the College of Agriculture,

Starl your young trees right and do
not let your pruning be such as to

county agent of Lake County. In
pruning your citrus (rees it is good
practice to allow all vigorous growth

Iree to have sufficient leaf capacity to
utilize all raw plant food available to
the roots.
In order to Insure having leaves,
cut back the young tree to about 16
to 20 inches when transplanting. A
longer trunk is liable to become dried
out and hardened and, thus, make im
possible the formation of leaves. But,
if the trunk is short, there is little

During the past two montJis the Punta Oorda Publlahing Company has made
substantial reductions In the price of nearly all printed matter, the reduc
tions being made possible by lower prices for paper. Were it not for high
freight rates still greater redactions would be possible Freight on envel
opes from Jacksonville to Punta (iorda averages 20 percent of the cost of
the envelopes, and on flat paper stock the freight averages 10 percent of
of the cost of the stock.
The figures below show the reductions on the items mentioned in quantities
of 1,000. These items are mentioned because they are things that are used
by a great many people.

Reduced prices on many items have been in effect for the past two months,
but general reductions were not possible until a few weeks ago. It is OUr
policy ami practice to give our customers the benefit of any reduction in the
cost of producing printing Just as soon as it occurs, and our patron may be
certain that they will never have to pay more than a fair price for a first
class product, all prices being ba.sed upon cost of production plus a gross
profit of 25 percent.
