Miss Ober, who begins a weeks en-

two exceptions, they being "Trilby" and
"The Bells" On Monday night that

three acts, and is said to be very funny.
The Cheyenne, Wyo., Herald of Sept.
18th says of the production of "The
Bells,'' play that made Sir Henry
Irving famous:
"The Bells" as presented by the Orris
Ober Co. last night, was without a doubt
as fine a production as was ever wit
messed in our beautiful theater. Mr..
Gilbert Tossick in the leading role,
Matthias" showed himself to be an
actor of such cleVerness and ability that
we unhesitatingly predict for him a sue
cess in his theatrical career that is sell
dom achieved except by the favored
few. From the time he commenced to
speak until the curtain descended on the
last act, he held the audience under
such complete control that pin could
have been heard all over the house had
any chosen to have dropped it. In fact
we can only repeat what we said in our
yesterdays issue that every member of
this company is exceedingly clever. and
it will be long time before we will
have a chance of witnessing another as
good. Every piece they have produced
has been decided success. We under
stand that the piece produced tonight is
equally as good as any that has gone
before.

Truck Farming at Tampa.
N annville, Fla.

Truck farming in this section has as
sumed an important position in the
minds of our people, who have come to
realize that in it there lie snug fortunes
if the proper attention shall be paid to
the natural resources Of the fertile soil.
Next season will witness a decided
impetus to trucking generally, and to
the raising of celery and lettuce espec-
tally, for there has already been marked
activity in the preparation of the soil
for gardens next season. Yesterday the
Citizen made mention of tract Of forty
acres upon which work has just begun,
and there are scores of other and less
pretentious "patches" upon which the
respective owners expect to raise such
profitable crops as to surpass all other
vocations.
All this agitation is due to the great
success experienced by the Neylans on
their model truck farm on the outskirts
of this city, not only in the culture Of
celery and lettuce, but with general
products of their farm. They have
made successes that have brought great
increase to their treasury. and again
they have met serious reverses which
have set aside years work.
Mr.. Neylan yesterday said to the Cit
izen correspondent that he had been
very lucky with his celery crop this
year, and intended to put out even more
next year. This is borne out by the
manner in which new land is being
cleared by large force of workmen.
Within the past week three wells have
been sunk, striking water very near the
surface. These wells are now flowing
copiously, and altogether did not cost
more than $25. The water from these
wells passes into an artificial lake
elevated some three feet above the level
of the farm. From this reservoir the
entire place receives it's irrigation; all
that is necessary to more thoroughly
dampen the ground is little twist on
the valve that controls the flow OF the
water, or it can be cut off entirely.
Large beds of celery are still standing
in their glory, and as one passes along
the public road adjacent to the place
the appetizing odor of the celery is
waited to him.
Mr.. Neylan has great faith also in the
culture Of lettuce, and states that it can
be made as profitable as celery. Tampa

of thousand of dollars every year to the
poultry and stock raisers.
There are two varieties of Kaffir corn,
both excellent; the white is the earliest
but the red produces much larger heads.
There are two things very necessary
to raise large crop. Oneis to get genuine
seed and not the trash that seed houses
have in many instances palmed off in
times that are past on us suckers, and
another thing do not plant any more
grain to the hill than you would COM
mon corn. | will guarantee that any
person that ecommends planting from
five to six quarts per acre never saw
much less raised a stalk of Kaffir corn in
their lives and any intelligent person
that will stop and consider for moment
will know that if we are to raise as much
or double the amount of grain that we
do of common corn we must not plant
any more to the hill. Who would think
of planting two to three bushels of corn
to the acre and expect a crop and that
would be no more grains per acre than
five or six quarts of Kaffir corn would
be. | know from last years experience
that from 40 to 60 bushels of Kaffir corn
can be raised to the acre right here in
Florida, on pine land and the yield of
fodder will be double that of corn.

Kamr Corn VS. Drouth.

The long continued drouth has de-
stroyed or seriously affected the tobacco,
corn, cotton and other crops and in
some Localities there we'll be total fail
ure. The question comes up, what
shall we do or what can we plant that
will produce a crop this late in the
season? would say do as the farmers
in Oklahoma and Kansas did last year
when their crops were utterly ruined by
drouth, and ruin and starvation stared
them in the face. They procured Kaffir
corn and replanted their fields and the
result was they had to build extra barns
to store their grain, many fields produc-
ing from 80 to 100 bushels per acre and
hundreds of tons of choice fodder. One
great advantage Kaffir corn has over
any other grain in Florida is that all the
truckers can Giant it after their crops
OF cabbage, tomatoes, etc., are taken
off and they will be assured of a heavy
crop of both grain and fodder to carry
their stock over for another year. There
is no question now that we have the
genuine article at last in Florida and it
has come to stay and will be worth tens
