Don't Practice Deception.

One Of the most damaging things that
can happen to the south is deceivlng immi
grants by painting everything in glowing
colors to them. When the immigrant finds
out that things are not all as represented
he becomes disguised, leaves and never
ends his history of woe and disappolnt-
ment.
Tell the truth; that is sufficient to induce
people here. There is no danger of having
the real advantages of home in the south
overcome by other sections. and only the
truth need to be told. Give an honest,
fair statement of the situation and there
will be no cause for complaint To de-
ceive strangers is just like being deceived
yourself, and anyone knows how that is.
The deceived are bitter enemies of peo
pie and country ever afterwards, and their
influence is used to keep others away who
might come and prove good and appreci-
ated citizens.
A few days ago six Polish families passed
through Savannah en- route to New York
and Brazil from Helena, Ga. They were
very much dissatisfied with their situation
at Helena after arriving there and finding
out that affairs had been misrepresented to
them, and they were the victims of land
sharks. The result is that the whole south
has been damaged and enemies made of
those who might have been friends had the
truth been told. So 1ncensed were these
Poles that they were not willing to look
further in the south for homes, but wanted
to leave, carrying with them the worst
feeling, not alone for Helena, but the en-
tire south. There are enough advantages
and possibilities in the south to convince
sensible people of its desirability for a
home without building fairy tales. Land
sharks, bogus town site companies and
spectators have done Florida and
other states infinite damage since the war,
and made thousands of enemies of those
who were friends. Florida has never fully
recovered from the Bellmore City and like
frauds perpetrated years ago.-Jacksonville

best, as the potatoes nor vines will suffer
from the hot sun that they will have to en-.
dure when first planted. We preserved
our last spring crop of potatoes by putting
them in a dark but dry room. and still have
plenty for home use, and enough to plant
this fall
The same with onions. We preserved
all of the small onions from our crop last
spring, and now have a fine lot of sets
ready to put out They will grow at once,
while sets fresh from the north will be
some time in sprouting. and will give a
very poor stand. This is from no real
fault of the onion, but because they have
not had time to fully mature. having but
just been gathered, while with the Florida
grown set, they have had ample time to
thoroughly mature, and are ready to sprout
as soon as the proper moisture and heat is
applied. By planting out few onion sets
every two weeks. good supply Of this de-
sirable vegetable can be had fresh up to
next June.
A fall garden is much more difficult to
make than spring garden, for. in great
measure, we are opposing nature. In the
fall, most plants reach their maturity in
stead of commencing life anew. Again,
the fall months the days are warm while
the nights are cool, so that the vegetables
do not make the growth they would if the
nights were warm. Again, we may have a
few days of very cool weather, which will
cause the vegetables to stand still for a
time. This does not apply. however, to
celery, for it is when the cool mot cold)
weather is on, that celery does its best.
Cucumbers can be raised, but they must be
in cold frames, SO that they can be covered
at night and kept warm. There is no veg
etable in the garden that requires more
warmth, moisture and rich soil than the
cucumber, and if one is in position to
give these conditions, there is no end of
cukes that can be raised.
We have given during the past month

loss that the gardener has to contend with
is various forms of fungus growths that at
tack the plants in all stages of growth,
from the time the seed puts out its tiny leaf
till the plant has finished its usefulness.
We notice that good many in making
their gardens ridge up the beds, while on.

FALL GARDENING.

cut and cured for hay, and the stubble
turned under at once. To have a good
garden means to have the ground in good
shape when planted, and to have the
ground in good shape means that all sod
must be turned under early so that it will
have ample time to rot before the time of
planting comes on.
If it is not done now the ground will be
full of large tufts of grass which will inter-
fere with the seed drill, transplanting and
cultivating In fact the land will be ia
poor condition.
Those who contemplate planting celery
should buy their seed at once. and get the
plants started as soon as possible The
seed bed should be we'll fertilized plot
that can be shaded and watered. 1t is very
essential here that the plants have shade
during their early growth, or you will not
get good healthy vigorous plants. Every
one who has a garden can have few rows
of celery if they choose to take the trouble
watered.
About the first of November make your
trenches about Is inches deep and four
feet apart In the bottom of this trench
put in about six inches of we'll rotted stable
manure or compost, and thoroughly mix
with the soil. Let it stand day or two
before putting out the young plants.
In lieu of stable manure apply mixture
of good fine ground bone and muriate pot
ash at the rate of 800 of bone to 500 of
muriate potash. Put this on at the rate
of one and one half tons to the acre, and
let it stand at least week or ten days be-
fore the plants are set out.
The plants will now be in trench about
nine inches deep. and should be shaded by
placing a board over them which will ad-
nit of little morning and evening sun.
AS they begin to grow draw little dirt in
about the roots. gradually filling in the
trench. Do not entirely fill up the trench
but leave it so that when water is applied
it will run towards the plants instead of
from it, The plants are always better for
being cut back once or twice before trans
planting.
Never let the celery want for water.
After the plants have started off nicely ap-
ply light dressing of commercial fertilizer
along each side and work in with rake.
When the celery has made its growth, or
some is wanted for the table, take II inch
boards and put on each side of the row as
closely as possible and fasten up with
stakes In a short time it will be blanched
enough for use.
There is quite variety of garden vege-
tables that can be planted in the fall that
will do we'll, even though we have a num-
Der of frosts-such as onions, cabbage,
turnips, carrots, vegetable oysters, radishes
and lettuce With beans and peas it is

up to the 1st of December and on two &C.

While the vines are not very much hurt by
light frost, the young pea is killed if a
frost happens about the time the bloom
opens or is ready to drop. Some times it
seems as if the peas had just recovered
