R. V. O. Swnrthout, Texas citrus coordinator, has put Into effect a proration order limiting shipments of grapefruit from this state. The order was authorized by the Texas Citrus committee, and Is designed to prevent speculation in grapefruit in produce ! centers and to create a uniform price during the entire season. Certificates have been Issued to growers in the Rio Grande valley, and as is the cnse with oil, producers must receive a "tender" before they can ship their fruit. E'ennlties for violation of the proration orders are so heavy that It is believed there will not be much "hot" grapefruit running. e v 4^iwtwgiat t?*unv/0 w a cat Study of Fish in Texas Houston, Texas.?Albert Collier, biologist at Rice institute, has completed a five-year study of salt nnd fresh water fish In this region.

An average of 14.2 per cent | of squures were punctured on uupols- ; uuod cotton. Average infestations In { exceHB of 20 per cent were reported | from Dorchester, Dillon, Hampton, ( Berkeley, Bamberg and Abbeville , counties. Agents report considerable t shedding of young bolls ami attribute ] It to rainy weather. "Differences between early sweeten- * ed poisoned and unpoisoned fields are i more noticeable than a week ago," says W. C. Nettles, extension entouio- i loglst, commenting on the reports. "An j average of counts showed that only six , per cent of the squares were puuetur- t ed In fields receiving early applica- i tions, whereas counts made in theji same counties in unpoisoned tlelds ; showed 13.ti per cent Infestation. "Growers should watch Infestations ' closely and apply calcium arsenate . dust where conditions Justify the practice. Those applying dust are again reminded that the minimum amount of dust (six pounds per acre) should not be exceeded especially on the light sandy soils in the eastern portion of the state." THEY C08T TOO MUCH ' Nobody blames another for wanting an uutomobile. This runs through all the degrees of those who are able to | purchase new machines and fine machines down to those who must be content with the used proposition. The main trouble is that people want them and buy them and go in debt for them when they ought to know that they are unable to keep them and use them. In this way there are many who never get ahead in ways of business 1 or work. The automobile takes up all the spare money in gasoline, oils, and necessary repairs. It also takes up too much of the valuable time that is spent in the pursuit of pleasure in the use of the machine instead of being applied to the doing of work. ?Horry Herald. . ? .1 * .
