The Daniel who has come to judg-

the Bureau Of Soils at Washington
and who has recently been lecturing
on the subject at various points in
Florida, declares that farmers and
fruit growers use too much fertilizer
and that manufacturers Of such agree
on this point. Not much. Did he
ever know or hear of maker of fer
tilizers refusing to fill an order because
he thought his customer was going
to Use too much? Then again his sug-
gestion that ten to twenty double team
loads of stable manure should be ap-
piled per acre shows that, while he
may know how easily such fertilizer
may be obtained up north and serve
it's purpose there, our sandy lands
need something more than the am
monia that manure of this character
yields, to make them give crops. AS
to soil, how many different kinds can
be found in our state? Who knows?

TIMELY TOPICS.

Edited by w. E. Pabor.

Agriculturist had a turkey to enjoy
on Thanksgiving. 1t makes a dainty
dish fit to set before Our farmer and
fruit grower kings. Over three hum
dred years ago it was held to be such,
for the royal palate. 1t is presumed
they were wild ones, but we Of a later
age are privileged to have them, both
wild and tame. Quail may be good
on toast and be held as pheasants,
so commanding a higher market price;
but Of all fowls the turkey is king,
and, though not strictly an American
bird, still it should be Our National
one, for it belongs to the common
people Of our country.
Experimenting is going on in the
far southeastern part of Florida in
the tobacco line. There is no reason
to doubt that Lee and Dade counties
could produce as good tobacco as is
grown in Cuba

vator is right, regarding the column

A commercial grade of gas is now

too little corn in Florida to be able
to suggest that the new process might

record as scoring another point in
favor of King Corn
When a Justice of the Peace feels
called upon to pass judgment on the
constitutionality Of law passed by
our State legislature, the higher courts
may as we'll go out Of business, and
the Judges, State and Federal, hunt
up other jobs. An Osceola County
Justice has declared the law regarding
payment of claims against railroads
within 30 days as illegal and vlolat-
ing the Constitution Of the United
States. Wonder what number OF hat
this Justice wears.
Strawberries for Thanksgiving? Yes,

hoped the season for them will not
be over when the editors meet there

Green peas in the Jacksonville mar
ket last week suggest that the truck

Chanoino Brands of Tobacco.

''In tobacco used for pipes it Is quite
a usual thing for smokers to change
their brand every two years or So"
said dealer in such things, though.
on the other hand, there are some men
who never change. This changing is in
many cases simply a habit, but one
which has been acquired in a curious
way.
''The men who make such changes
declare they have simply got tired Of
the old brand, whereas, as matter of
fact, it is often case where the brand
has deteriorated in quality. 1t used to
be common thing for some manufac-
turers to put out new brand Of smok-
ing tobacco so good that it could not be
sold at profit at the price asked. This
speedily doomed the brand to phenom-
email popularity, and then slowly, so
slowly that it would not be noticed for
long. time, the manufacturer would
proceed to get his money back by using
inferior stock in the brand.
Fortunes were made in this way.
and many a man who finally gave up
his favorite brand never knew any
thing except that he had grown tired
Of it. Many men who changed often
for this cause, however, now make it a
point to change regularly. "-Philadel-
