Florida and Sugar.-Capt. r. g..
Rose, the well-known sugar expert Of
Kissimmee, called at the Record office
and informed us that he is to meet a
committee Of the merchants and bust
ness men of Jacksonville Oh Tuesday
and again address the members of the
Board of Trade on Wednesday even
ing, in the effort to enlist the proper
support for securing a sugar refining
plant in Florida. Capt. Rose is fully
Informed ON the subject and the posi-
bilities of the future in this State if
nature is supplemented by the use Of
adequate capital in developing our
"gold mine" If one-tenth the money
which has been put into fruit farming,
or early vegetable raising were ex-
pended in the growth and manufac-
ture of sugar, we would to-day be
furnishing a large portion of the SUI
gar consumed in the whole United
States at very handsome profits. We
wish the Captain success in his efforts

CROPS AND PRODUCE.

Big Orange Crops.-C. L. Knight re-
turned last evening from his groves
in the vicinity of Arcadia, and he is
wonderfully pleased with the showing
made by himself and everybody in
that neighborhood. 1t is estimated by
buyers that fully $25O,O0O will be dis
bursed for the fruit and labor in De-
Soto county before the season ends.
The crop will exceed the estimate Of
100000 boxes originally made. Mr..
knight had his pockets full of tan
gerines from his trees, which were
budded in October a year ago and
planted last February. They are re-
markable for their smoothness and
beauty, as we'll as from their speedy
appearance from the bud. Some Of
them were delightfully."- small, so much
so as to be actual curiosities, though
perfectly formed and ripe-minia>
lures of the full-sized fruit.-Tampa
Herald.

Manatee Oranges-NIr William Lyle
is now at Manatee with his force of
men gathering, packing and shipping
oranges. He has opened up a large
packing house there, and has bought
large number of crops of fruit, all
of which he will rush off to the mar
kets as early as possible.
Mr.. Lyle has not finished shipments
from this county by any means, as he
expects to leave part of his crop here
on the trees until a later date when
prices will still be better, although
they are quite satisfactory now

Sugar Mill Running.-The st. Cloud
mill started up on Tuesday to dry the
second grade of sugar left over from
last seasons run. Mr.. Gus Schmidt,
the Philadelphia expert sugar maker,
arrived on Monday and took charge Of
the process. The factory will be run
ming for another week and will be Wis
tied by many sightseers.

Profitable Farming-BeSideS being
one of the best and most alert public
officials in Tampa, Mr.. J. J. Stephens
the marshal of Fort Brooke, is also q
farmer without a rival in this section.
He presented the Tribune yesterday
with four large sweet potatoes, aver
aging in weight 51s pounds, that he
dug from one hill. This gentleman
has an acre planted in potatoes in the
ClarksOn subdivision of YbOr City.
and has raised from that piece of land
$40 bushels, or reduced to pounds,
makes a total of $4,000. These pota-
toes sold at the average market price
of 60 cents per bushel would net the
grower 1924.
Sweet potatoes are commodity
that are indispensable in all well-reg-
ulated households. They make a. IA
vorite dish, are good for mich cows
and horses, and chickens, dogs and
other animals eat them with relish.
TheTribune does not publish this item
simply to compliment Mr.. Stephens,
but to show the public what can be
accomplished in diversified farming in
Florida. A farmer in one Of the Wes-
tern or Middle States that can net
$500 a year thinks he is making mon
ey; yet in Tampa, as side line, and
for sport more than anything else, a
gentleman can earn a fabulous for
tune by simply taking care of a po-
tato patch.-Tampa Tribune.

West Florida Pines.-Mr f. B. Lud-
low, of Caxambas, is in town this
week. He and his father are owners
of the largest pineapple plantation on
the West Coast Of Florida and one OF
the largest in the State, they having
sixty acres in pines. They have al
ways grown their pines without any
covering, but are now building shed
over ten acres of pines, and If they
find after a trial that the plants do
enough better under shed to warrant

Second Crop Potatoes:-Nr. VIM.
Roberts, whose farm at RObertsville is
admired by all who see it, brought to
this office last Friday a sample of his
second crop of Irish potatoes. He
planted in the spring and gathered the
first crop about the usual time Using
the potatoes grown in the spring for
seed he planted again in August and
is now housing very fine crop of me-
diminished potatoes. They had only
one light rain on them from planting
to harvesting time, yet he will gather
from one acre about ten barrels-Tal-
lahaSSeean.

The Smile Of Phyllis.

When Phyllis smiles my nerves sustain
very painful shock.
That strikinSly hysteric smile would ston
an eight-day clock.
Her mouth looks like the red-1ned laws
Of some wild beast OF prey
That grins defiance when the hounds
have driven IL to bay.
i sometimes feel when standing in tho
presence of that smile
That ! would IKE TO die and thus escape
it for a while,
And yet. It's cruel, at her smile to fire
such fiendish fun
She's had her teeth extracted, and her
new ones aren't done.
