please renew my subscription to your
valuable paper, beginning with the is

paper, brim full of good reading and
gives good illustrations of what can
be done in the sand Of Florida during
the winter months while we are frozen
up We have had snow for eight
months 1t showed here the 10th of
May, and froze in some places. We
have had very backward spring. 1t
was quite warm about the middle of
March, but has been very cold up to
this week.
We have had very little sunshine
during the past winter. We live in
Chant county, N. Y, 65 miles west of
Buffalo, and it is very windy place
in the winter, but fine during the sum-
mer. We have it even hotter than
you do at times during the summer.
This is the home of the Concord

Planting Irish Potatoes.
da Agricu1turist:

Editor Florida Agricu1turist:
About what date do you begin to
plant Irish potatoes so as to have
them ready to dig the last of April,
for shipment to Northern markets?
Do you irrigate the Irish potato in
order to grow them successfully?
read in the papers that you have
drouths in winter. What kind Of land
is best adapted to the Irish potato?
These questions refer to the central
part of Florida. A Northerner
Answer-Potato growers usually
begin their crop in January or the
early part of February.
What is generally known as the
"rainy season." occurs in Florida dur
ing the summer months, though un-
der normal conditions enough rain
falls in winter to answer every pur-
pose.

Transplanting Palmettoes.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Please let some of your subscribers
know how to transplant cabbage pal
metto trees, say six to twelve feet
high. | have heard some say to cut
all the roots clean, smooth off.
Subscriber
Answer-The answer to practically
this same question at the meeting of
the State Horticultural Society was to
cut all the small roots, leaving a
smooth, dubious shaped base and to
plant about one foot deeper than the
tree originally grew. This also seems
to accord with the practice of Mr.. C..
D. Mills, of this city, who has trans
planted thousands of these trees and
has been especially successful in max
ing them grow.

exhibits at the State Fair last fall we
were especially impressed with that

cause Of its attractive arrangement

that the western part of the state has
not heretofore entered into COMPETE

interested we have procured from MIR.

charge, a brief description of the same,
which we will publish next week, to-

he has managed to protect his flock
from ravages of worthless ours, pos
sibly he may keep a good collie
(shepherd dog), which will protect
them.
Major J. K. Priest, the sheep and
cattle raiser on the Ocklawaha, near

his sheep had never done so we'll as

hundred more ready for the brand.

Notes From Pasco County.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
After some months of drouth, with
only two inches Of rain, we had fine
showers about ten days and fine
rains since. Canteloupes nearly ready
to gether; peaches being shipped, al
though small, are quite sweet and
juicy, that is the Jewell variety. I
have laid out $Io7.25 for the string
beans from one acre of low land, and
yet there are more to follow, thou
sands of acres of such land to be had
in this county at S. to $50 per acre,

The Jew-Jew Tree.
correspondent of tn

A correspondent of the Rural
world, writing from Kaufman county,
Texas, gives a description Of a tree
found there, under this name. From
this it seems probable that it is a
zizyphus, either T. Jujuba Of Z. vul-
garis, the Jujube tree of oriental
countries, which is said to be sparing-
ly naturalized in some of the South
ern states. If SO, the Jew-Jew is
evidently merely corruption of the
common name, Jujube. It is hardy
throughout the Southern states, and
deserves to be more commonly Gull
tivated than it is.
The Jew-jew resembles somewhat
the Mesquite, being of a gnarled ap-
pearance, and lacking symmetry of
form. 1t never makes a dense shade,
its foliage being sparse. The bark is
rough and thorns grow on the limbs
and tWigs. When the leaves first
come they contain buds to bloom
this is after all Our forest trees are
in leaf. In fact, it is so late putting
forth leaves that we are deceived
every spring in believing it to be
dead The bloom is very small and
fragrant, and surely contains much
honey, as bees swarm to the trees
from morning till night
The fruit and seed are shaped like
those OF the apricot, and are also
about the same size. 1t blooms in
April and ripens it's fruit about the
middle of July From that time till
frost it is full of fruit-that is, it
continues to bloom, having blooms
and ipe fruit at the same time The
fruit is Of light-green color until
it begins to ripen, when it turns
brown. When ripe it has swedish
taste. Children and chickens are very
fond Of this strange fruit
The Jew-jew is very prolific; the
limbs bend under their weight of
fruit. The fruit is borne on the stem
OF the leaf. In examining one leaf
l found it to contain eighteen buds,
and it was not a full grown leaf,
either, as there were many tiny buds
at the end not fully developed
l do not know of another tree of
this kind. The gentleman who set
it in our yard, probably twenty years
ago, is dead. It is said he bought it
from an agent, but no one seems to
know where it originated.

That the general attendance in the
schools of the county is better than in
past years is said by County Superin-
tendent Welles, who has been visiting
schools during the past few weeks.
Thus far Mr.. Welles has called up
on Is or 20 # the rural schools Of
the county. Last evening he return
ed from the E. nth end of the county,
where he visited the school at Ukiah,
Alba and those in the Potts country.
At Ukiah the attendance is so heavy
this year that the board is consider
ing employing an additional teacher.
In the Echo school another teacher
was added TO the faculty this year,
and both last y'ar and the one previ-
Gus the same thing was necessary.
In the opinion of the .superinten-
dent the new compulsory education
law is assisting in causing good at
tendance this fell. Truancy officers
have been appointed for all sections
of the county and in some instances
they have already gotten busy.
But thus Ear 1t has not been neces-
sary for parents to be prosecuted for
falling to send their children to
school Instead, a mere notice from
the truancy officer has been suffic-
lent in each case.

Washington Democrats Seeking for

Olympia, Oct 11.-Democrats of
the state are already busily grooming
gubernatorial candidates, confident in
the belief that next year they will be
able to select a man who will sit in
the mansion at Olympia.
Charles S. Voorhees,, a prominent
attorney of Spokane, is being promi-
nently mentioned for the nomination,
but his friends are doubtful that he
could be prevailed upon to accept the
nomination. Mr.. Voohees is well
known on the coast as wellI as in
Spokane and II is believed that he
would make a strong candidate.
Mayor William Hickman Moore OF
Seattle is considered IS another
strong man for the place. Mayor
Moore has made a great reputation in
managing city affairs In Seattle, and
It is believed that he would receive
the support of large number of re-
publicans, in addition to the solid
support of his own party.
c. G. Heifner of Seattle, is also be-
ing prominently mentioned. Mr..
Heifner was state insurance commits
sioner for four years and in 1923
