Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-12-04

There is bumfoozly writing person who
is accusing us Of saying things in such a
way that the intelligent reader can guess
what and whom We are driving at We
think il of enough consequence to say to
the bumfoozler that such is our ambition.
II We remark, for instance. that We once
kept man from being tried for peniten-
tiary offense, and kept the city reporters
from publishing his name in connection
with the court proceedings, the man himself
would know exactly whom We meant, but
he would not be grateful-though he would
be great fool for limiting that he under
stood us TO mean him.

A Mammoth Collard.

There was on exhibition to-day at the
hardware store of Mr.. McConihe a huge
stalk of collard green, measuring be-
tween six and seven feet long. 1t was
grown by F. j. Fox, a colored man Of
LaVilla. 1t was packed in a crate and
delivered to Commissioner j w. Thomp-
son for shipment to the Worlds EXPOSE
ton, New Orleans, as contribution to
the exhibit to be made there by colored
people, and which was done without cost
to the exhibitor.
Commissioner Thompson is displaying
indomitable energy in his efforts to stir
up an interest among his people in their
exhibit at the Exposition, and we are
pleased to learn that he is succeeding
admirably. He is engaged a in good
work. -Ddjlg (Jdcksonrille) Journal.

Contradicted.

Our learned Brother, of the Fort Myers
Press, denies our statement that wheat
and corn can be grown to advantage in
Florida; perhaps he does not know as
much about Florida as we do. In mid
die and western Florida there is land adj
mirably adapted to the growth of these
cereals, and the only reason they have
not been extensively cultivated, was
because cotton was king and it paid bet
ter to grow that than wheat, but every
plantation grew all the corn that was re-
quired for use. Ex-Governor Drew and
Captain Inglis, of Madison county, have
demonstrated that both corn and wheat
can be made to give as high returns in
Florida as in any State in the Union.
We have seen fine, large-grain wheat
grown on our sand hill, that was pro-
nounced by Western farmers a first class !;
and there is land in Volusia county that
has been planted every year in corn for
the last fifty years, without fertilizers,
that yield regularly over forty bushels to
the acre, and other counties have lands
that can do the same. Cotton and or
anges has hitherto prevented immigrants
from turning their attention to cereals,
but the time is coming when we neither
will import flour nor corn.

The Scale Insect.

At the meeting of the Fruit Growers
Association of California, one of the
members mentioned that he had succeed
ed in getting rid of the Insect plague by
the following method:
During my stay in Santa Barbara, /
made some experiments, which, SO far
as destroying the scale, were very sue
cessful. Experiment No. /: A solution
made of one pound of whale oil soap and
sulphur mixture to each gallon of water
used, and one pound of buhach added to
every fifteen gallons of the solution, de-
stroyed all of the insects that it came in
contact with on the leaves and branches
but did not penetrate the egg cases, ex-
cept where they were broken by the force
of the spray. Experiment No. q A So
luton Of whale oil soap mixture as above
with one pound of buhach and one gallon
of coal oil added to sixteen gallons OF
the solution, proved very effective. Ex-
pertinent No. 3 Half pound of COM
mon brown soap whale oil or soft soap
will do as welD, boiled in one gallon OF
water. When boiling pour into two gal
Ions OF coal oil, then churn through a
small force pump from ten to fifteen min
utes (this will form a cream, then add
twenty-five gallons of water, in which is
dissolved say twelve and a half pounds
of whale oil soap, or strong soft soap.
This solution of coal oil was tried with
out adding the twelve and half pounds
of soap, but did not spread on the leaves
to be sufficient success. Half aplnt OF
coal oil to each gallon of wash mixed
will not injure the fruit or foliage of cit
rms trees -

Christmas at the North and in Florida.

Happily the orchestra of sleigh-bells
cheers up the Christmas, ut the North,
with it's merry music. 1t is quite as
difficult to dsassociate Christmas from
an image of snow-decked nature, as to
conjure in ones mind vision of Santa
Claus without his reindeer or sled and
frost-fringed robes. Christmas legends
would be cherries and prosy without
the setting of snow-drift, log-fres and
whistling wind.
There is something about Florida
Christmas that dilutes the human ener-
gy and enjoyment of the occasion; stems
the tide of childish glee on Christmas
Day which is the grandest of all festivals.
The Florida Christmas is destitute of
mid-winter surroundings. The festival
brings only portion of its comfort and
gladness to young and old. In saying to
the children of Florida, that have once
lived at the North, that especially the
snow and sleigh bells are doubly well
come at such time, we strike chord
which is sweetest to humanity in the
symphony Of delights that cluster about
the Christmas Day. For without the
JOYOUS anticipation, the merriment and
publication of childhood, there could be
no Christmas following the emblem of St.
Nicholas. Do not think l am kicking
against Florida, for Florida is my home,
and / love it's climate dearly, but at
Christmas time give me a good pair of
horses, plenty of sleigh bells, good run
ming cutter, good sleighing, and / will
wish all Merry Christmas and willingly
"come back out of the cold" to spend
New Years at DeLand. "DTcK."
