What Farmers Gan Do.

The corn, rice, rye, oats, hay, etc.,
which have been grown in this county
this year are here as indisputable evil
dences that the farmers of Polk county
can be self supporting and Independent,
IN spite of the loss of the citrus crops
And even yet there are many staple
crops which can be successfully grown
here which have been experimental
with only in a small way. A mum Der of
our farmers Lave grown small patches
of rice which is as fine as can be grown
anywhere. Rice is a good crop both to
use and to sell and being staple the
price does not vary much.
Rye has proven quite success this
wear and here is another grain crop
which is always in good demand. The
same may be said of oats, crab grass,
beggarweed and other varieties of stock
food.
Only few chufas are being raised and
only this week we were told by Mr. R.
J. BIount that he had been offered SIS a
bushel for some he had grown.
Cassava has been given very little at
tention and yet the specimens which
have been put up to send to the expo
sitioh prove that we have I'll admira-
bly, adapted to it's growth. 1t Is an ex-
cellent food crop for both man and beast.
1t is said to be superior to the sweet po-
tato for it's nutritive and fattening prop
critics and it's yield is enormous 1t re-
quires little attention or fertilizing. The
manufacture of starch could be made
big thing in Florida If enough atten-
ton should be given to the cultivation
of cassava.
These and many other crops might be
mentioned, which if taken in connec-
ton with our tomatoes, strawberries,
egg plant, potatoes, onions, and other
vegetable crops, would soon make our
growers entirely independent Of orange
culture; which however bids fair TO soon
be in better condition in this county
than ever before-all things considered.

Budding Orange Trees.

OuUU4u$ OIduS0 1Io0S'
Many of the most successful orange
builders now dispense with the waxed
strips of cloth for wrapping up buds
They depend entirely upon wrapping
them tight with Irvine, pressing the buds
SO close to the stocks that no rain water
can get in behind them. The bud is
slipped up in the 4 cut, the Irvine is
started at the bottom of the bud, being
Topped over itself, wound very tight and
close until the wound is wholly closed,
then cash is made in the bark an inch
or two above the bud and the end of the
twlne is caught in the cash, making
tying unnecessary.
Nothing but the best buds should be
selected, well ripened wood about the size
of a lead pencil. See that the eyes of
buds are full and plump, as they will
always put out good strong canes or
shoots; if immature buds are used, they
are sure to remain dormant long time,
and in many instances can never be ex.
cited into growth.
Trim the stock six or eight inches
above the ground, so that the buds can
be inserted as low as possible. With a
budding knife make cut in the bark
the shape of large 7, having the run
across the stock. Take the bud shoot
between the thumb and finger of the
left hand, with the point away from
you, and gently cut the bud off, drawing
the knife toward you. Make the cut as
thin as possible;take off as little of
the wood as possible insert the
bud into the slit, pulling it up,
which the shape of the stem permits
more rea lily than it does showing it
down. No wood need be removed from
the bud shield if 1t is wrapped tight
enough to force the shield to conform to
the curve of the stock.
If for fall budding, the Irvine can re-
main on for two or three weeks before
being removed. The stock is allowed to
remain untouched until the following
spring, when it is cut down to within
tour or six inches of the bud, the left
part above the bud answering we'll to
tie the shoot to. This should be done
as soon as it is four or five inches long,
as it keeps the shoot straight, making
fine straight trees.-Titusville Advocate.

The other day little Bobbie Barnett,
son of the late Rev. A. A. Barnett, of
Live Oak, was rolling on the floor with
large ball of lead weighing some ounces
in his mouth, when, by some mishap, he
let it slip into his throat Raising him
self to a sitting posture, as he endeavored
to clear his throat, the lead passed below
his palate, where it lodged for some
time. But before it could be ascertained
what the trouble was or action could be
taken to remove it, the weight being so
great, it passed into his stomach. A
good hearty meal of rice, potatoes and
tried chicken was administered as soon
as possible, and it is reported that no evil
consequences have followed,

Florida's Productiveness.

Farmers who think of migrating to
this State need not fear that the soil will
not give q bountiful yield. A bulletin re-
Gently issued by the Agricultural De-
partment at Washing on dlscloses the
fact that Florida ranks third among the
States Of the Union in the value per acre
of farm products. Massachusetts leads
the list, the value of it's products being
at SIS per acre; and Florida and New
Jersey tie for third place, their farm
products being valued at S12 per acre,
Other States rank as follows Maine, 81;
New Hampshire, So; Vermont, $40; Con-
necticut, S11; New York, $40; Pennsvl-
vania, 1915, Delaware, So; MARYLAND,

The States that lead Florida, and many
OF those that rank below it, are thickly
populated, and in Them farming is we'll
established Of all the States Florida is
perhaps the most sparcely settled 1t
therefore offers the best inducements
for immigration, from the facts that
the value of products per acre is large,
that land is plentiful as we'll as fertile,
and that it Can be had at reasonable
prices. The opinion has been advanced
that Florida'S raTio of $22 per acre does
not represent as much genuine pros perity
as do lower ratios in other States, for the
reason that Florldians use the money
obtained from the products of their own
land to buy the products of other States
This, in part, may be true, but Ford
ians have learned a lesson lately, and
are now raising more produce for their
own consumption,-Citizen,

RELIGION Is NOT A DREAM
DR.. Kent Continues His Analysis of

The Ultimate Reality of the Universe

Church, yesterday morning delivered the
second of his series of discourses on the
Lords Prayer His text was in the

worship is reverence, confidence is
love-, began Dr. Kent. 1T implies
that there is something in this universe
that is worthy of reverence, Of confidence
and of love. If there is not, all that
is called worship is superstition, and re-
ligion is only such stuff as dreams are
made Of
IF the so-called atheist is a man Of
education and culture, even he sees some
thing in this universe to admire and revere,
and something, in a sense, TO love. This
something the religionist calls God, or
some equivalent term. To him 1t is not
blind and senseless and purposeless. 1t
is all-seeing, all con scious, alEpowerful.
1t is the moving energizing and vitalizing
reality back of all manifestations.
ITO Jesus this ultimate reality OF the
universe seemed so full of beneficent pur-
pose, so wise in its economy, SO firm and
yet so tender in its government, that He

BATTLE OF THE RACE TRACKS

Alexander Island race tracks proni ses
10 be a very lively and interesting one
As stated in yesterdays Times the former
has determined TO wipe out the latter, and
for that purpose It's financial aid will be
given TO Capt. George A Mushbach, so
that he may be renominated and reelected
to the Virginia State Senate
Capt MUshbach is the author of a law
passed oStensibly TO minimize or abolish
the evils of gambling, but at the same time
TO perpetuate tracks then in existence.
Under it, however, all forms of wrong
doing have floUrished in Alexandra county
For ST Asaph's track it must be said that
its methods of conducting racing are as
clean as those in operation on the majority
of courses. 1t is regulated by jockey
club rules, and makes similar punishments
for their infractioa.

politics, TO buy legislators, and TO abridge
the rights Of a decent community ii ought

law that is not of its own making.

In Importance TO Christianity.
The sixth OF the series Of sermons by
Rev. Charles A Stokely on the Com
panions OF the Apostle Paul was deliv-
cred last evening before large congrega-
ton at First Baptist Church.
The subject of his discourse was Luke,
the Evangelist"
The history of the life and work of
Luke said Rev. DR.. Stokely, contains
more OF interest than that of any other Of
Paurs companions, and was of more value
and force in the dissemination OF the word
OF truth than the others. Although this is
an historical fact. Luke is mentioned only
three times in the New Testament. 1t is
not stated in the Bible that he is the author
of the two books attributed to him. From
this source all that can be learned Is that
he was a native of Antioch and Gentile;
the only GENTLE contributing to the New
Testament and all he wrote had special
reference TO the Gentiles.

THE l.. A. w. AND GOOD ROADS.

Much has been said about the influence
of the bicycle on the making of good roads,
but the real extent of this influence can
never be fully measured or appreciated.
Road Improvement has always received
particular attention at the hands of the
League OF American Wheelmen. and it has
done more for this needed blessing to
ers put together.
But the League is not content with the
work so far accomplished. 1t has deter
mined TO make it even more prominent
feature of its labors, and to push the cam
paign for good roads with vigor a hundred
fold greater.
The annual meeting of the League VIII
bs held in February next, and all of the
first day, and probably portions OF other
days. viii be given up 10 the discussion
of this subject alone.
Officers from all the States Will be in
attendance at this meeting. and they have
already been instructed to mature plans,
so that something tangible is likely TO
be accomplished looking TO the general and
rapid Improvement of the highways.
In this work the l. A. W. will have the
sympathy and dsupportor rpeopleeverywhere.
Ostensibly directed toward the comfort of
cyclists, it will be a mission of most ben
eficent proportions, for il Will bring the
rural districts nearer 60 the urban population,
and SO give the farmer better chance to
profitably realize on his products.
