THE GOVERNORS MANSION
The Building and Furnishings all to

It will be seen by an advertisement
in another column thatt he board
havinge the governors mansion in
charge have decided to bring the ELI
tire cost of building, furnishing and
Improvement of the gronds all within

thousand.
his is a sensible way of dispOsing
Of the question. While the bill allow
ed the entire forty THOUSAND to be
spent in erecting the building the
board wisely allowed that building to
cost $25 ,OOO which is ample and the
rest is to be spent for furnishing and
putting the grounds in shape and the
taxpayers will not have to be called
on for any additional money.
The Appeal believes that the act OF
the board will be endorsed by the
whole state.

HAS LEFT THE STATE

A reader of the Appeal writes to
know what particular person was re-
fered to in a recent poem which ap-
peared in these columns regarding a
very fly young lady who helped to
make the laws of Nevada He says
he wants the information to decide a
bet.
The correspondent is informed that
it is regarded as very bad form in
good society to make ladies the sub.
ject of wagers. No gentleman ever
does it. The Appeal will further say
that the poem alluded to no one now
residing in Nevada She migrated from
this section some years ago, is now
presiding over a flourishing Sunday
school in a distant state.

question. He says:
Il spent several days examining the
government irrigation project in
Churchill county and can say that the
project is one of the greatest in the
world. 1t has been we'll carried out
by the government engineers and
consider it one of the greatest pieces
of engineering work in the United
States at the present time and a work
that is Of unlimited value to this
country. By the completion of this
work thousands of people will be fur
nished homes, where they will always
have comfortable living and may
lay aside considerable wealth for their
families. In carrying out this work
the government has spent millions of
dollars, but the expenditure has been
one that insures great prosperity to
this portion Of the country and it's
value cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents.

Settlers Are Protected

The government has not only fur
nished an irregation system for thou
sands Of acres of land but has also
| passed, a bill making it impossible for
| land hogs to secure possession of all
this land, and its plan is SO well ar
ranged that individuals can never con-
troll more than 160 acres of the land.
According to the government sys-
TEN of subdivision the land is divided
into land units OF 80, l20 and 160
acres and each person taking up one
of these pieces of land may have
water for this amount by homestead
ing it and living upon it. After prov
ing up his land a man may sell it..
and his successor viii be furnished
with water for 100 acres OF land. In
case a person tries to buy more than
one homestead, however, he may pur-
chase the land without any trouble
but after doing SO only one unit will
be of benefit to him, as the govern
ment will only furnish water to one
individual for one unit, no matter how
many hOmesteads he may purchase.

No Charge First Year.

that in order to cultivate this land
and secure good crops the settler must
have at least two years in which to

have the company offer this land at a
low price and to arrange to have the
company not charge anything for the
land the first year, except the inter-
est, which should be about 6 per cent.
This will give the settler chance to
obtain his land and work it, and Sc
cure profit from his products before
paying anything out for his land

Fernly for an experiment station and

government to cultivate this land. In
all, about 134 acres will be cultivated

ton on the railroad right of way will

appear o4autiful, but will not be used

Now, the railroad company owns

and left them practically worthless
for agriculture. The growing of forest
trees on these WORKOUT lands will not
only bring higher returns than poor
farm crops, but will improve the soil
and restore it to it's former state of
fertility.
No detailed Investigations of the
possibilities of forest planting in this
region have yet been made, but it is
probable that study of this field will
be begun within short time by the
Forest Service Of the u. S. Depart
'ment of Agriculture While the For
est Service is glad to give all the as
sistance possible to prospective tree
planters, recommendations for plant
ing in the South must necessarily be
general at present.
All who are interested in tree plant
ing, however, may obtain valuable ad
vice by writing the Forest Service for
suggestions concerning the choice Of
species and methods. Applications
for advice should contain as much de-
tailed information as possible concern
ing the character of the soil, drainage,

True Story of a 12o-Acre Farm.

The Pensacola Journal says The
Birmingham Ledger publishes what it
terms a "true story" of an Alabama
farm, as follows:
"a man in Shelby county bought a
little farm of l20 acres, which was a
mat of johnson grass, not much fencing,
some chimneys where the house had
been, but fairly good outhouses. He
got it for $3.50. That was a few years
ago. The place is in good shape today,
with a neat house and good fences, and
not dollar has been spent on it that
was not made out of the place. The
owner lives on it, and would not take
$4,000 for it. Much of the ready mo-
ney comes from johnson grass and cat
tie. The man does not want a govern
ment pamphlet telling him to kill John
son grass. He couldn't be induced to
kill his. Tt brings him $3.50 to $3.50
in cash every year"
This is simply an example-one case
out of many-of what the Industrious
farmers of any part of the South have
been doing of recent years.
It is also an example of what any

The South's Interest in Forest

The Forestry service bureau con-

Agriculture has recently sent out a
leaflet on this subject, as follows: A
notable awakening Of interest in for
est planting is becoming evident
throughout the Southern States. AS
farmers learn that the growing of tim
Der crops is practicable, they grad
ually begin to realize that much land
producing poor agricultural crops
might better be devoted to trees.

ripening this year than usual. Don't
ship it too green" But our growers
go on the theory that the early bird
gets the worm, SO the early shipper
gets the bigger figure in his returns
Crowded he gets any, from the COM
mission merchant This season, at
least, is one that will ensure such a
price for the short crops that there is
no need of hurry to get to market.
The counties Of Dade, Brevard and
Lee are the only ones likely to sue
coed in Mulgoba Mango culture, hence
their value is enhanced in the eyes of
all tropical fruit growers. Perhaps
the lower gulf coast of DeSoto may
also prove favorable, but it is not as
certain, from a commercial point of
view. Recently the Miami NJ Metropolis
had this to say on the subject: "As
evidence of the profit, demand and
market value Of the mulgoba mango,
Mr.. w E March, of this city, today
received the splendid sum of $27 net,
from one crate of the fruit shipped to
the northern market. The crate was
of the regulation orange box size,
which shows most conc1uslvely that
there is more money and more de-
mand for this most luscious and de1ic-
ious of all tropical fruits, than for
any other grown in Florida, and that
its popularity has come to stay"
All sorts of estimates, made no
doubt from growers within the i'm
mediate environment of those who es-
innate, are floating through our
country exchanges. This, taken from
the Leesburg Commercial is probably
as close to the actual truth as can be
reached, taking the present condition
of the growers into consideration:
Our deliberate conclusion, based upon
all present obtainable information, is
that the present crop will not ex-
coed the estimate Of the Orange Grow
ers' COmpany-a little over half Of last
years crop, or about million and a
half boxes. With this yield, any one
can estimate as we'll as we can, what
prices will be. It should be borne in
mind that last seasons orange crop
was a little less than 2,75o,ooo boxes,
and that the. per centages named in
the various estimates for this season,
are based on these figures"
What next? Now comes to the
front an electrical milking machine.
They are making them up in Balti-
more and "the Sukeys and the Bos-
sys' of the country may soon be made
acquainted with combination of
long rubber tubes, and electric juice.
Then will pass away (perhaps) the
pretty milking maid with pail and
stool and no more will the affected
dude, meeting her in the Hawthorne
lane say, "Where are you going, my
pretty maid? Nor will she answer,
''I'm going a milking, Sir, she said"
Sic transit gloria mundi Vanish the
milking maid! Enter the Electric Mo-
tor. But how about the bucking cow?
