Timely Suggestions
To the Editor Of the Enterprise.


Dear Sir:
Will you please give me space
in your paper, to explain why r
think it to the interest of all that
we carry the Bond Election.
When I came here eight years
ago, we had 1900 inhabitants, we
then had our water and light plant
and all the school houses that we
now have, and what streets we had
at that time were good. conclud
ed that Fitzgerald had very enter
prising people, and Others have
thought the same, until now We
have a fine little city, with prOba-
bly, 5000 people, and the people
individually and collectively have
built up the city.
Since 1900 the city has made
few improvements except building
the City Hall. The time has now
come, when we are in pressing
need of sewerage, water and light
extension, and more schools. The
City Council seeing the need of
of theseimprovements have calleda
Bond Election, for the purpose, of
getting the money to do this work.
| believe if these improvements
can be made, it will benefit every
tax payer in this city, directly, in
directly, or both. We have come
to period where we cannot con-
tinue to prosper as we have done,
without these Improvements. ."
After the election is over, If
we have failed to carry the bonds
any intelligent man that comes here's
to invest that knows the situation
will most assuredly pass us by.@ss
But if we vote the bonds and
things work as they have done,
Ito my knowlege) in many other
towns, where bonds have been vot,sI
ed. The direct influence caused
by these Improvements will attract
more than enough capital to QUIZ
city, to pay the interest annually /
on these bonds, and at the end of
80 years to pay these bonds, b.
And another thing to be taken
into consideration, is that we not
only have the benefit of the sewer
age, light and water extension; and
schools, but one half, or more of /
the bond money, will be paid QUIT
here in our city.
We are now paying $500 per
month, for Scavenger service,
which will mostly be cut off. I
fmly believe from what know Of |:
our city and what l know of other 4,
cities, that it would be one ok.tha i,
worst things that could, happensto y
Fitzgerald at this time to allow I
these bonds to misscarry. &.

QUARREL OVER
PIECE WORK

New Haven, Conn, March PA
conference will be held tomorrow be-
tween the heads Of unions and Off
Gals of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad Company on the
rule establishing piece work in the
shops. The shopmen are violently
opposed to the piece work rule and
a strike may be declared if the rail
road seeks to enforce the rule It is
hoped that a compromise Will be Ell
fected.
In an unofficial way, it is ascertain-
ed that sentiment among the officers
of the road is strong against reced-
ing from the position Of the company
in the matter, the contention being
that piece work. if fixed upon a fair
basis, gives the men the maximum
of wages and at the same time secures
from them the maximum of efficiency.
Talks with the men. on the other
hand, show that they and the heads OF
the union organizations are strongly
opposed to the piece work rule on
grounds which are not definitely sta
ted beyond the position that piece
work is opposed to the general policy
of the union.

PLANT NUT TREES.

1t would be we'll if farmers would
pay more attention to nut growing.
There are spots on most farms that
are good for little else than growing
trees of some kind, and many of our
nut producing trees are as easily
grown as others. Hickories can be
grown anywhere in the State, and
pecans grow wild in Southern coun-
ties. Walnuts and butternuts will do
well anywhere, and chestnuts succeed
almost as we'll Hazelnuts are indi-
genous and filberts are scarcely less
hardy. Why should we not use some
of these trees? They are none the
less handsome because they are use
full, and none the less useful for
shade because they are nut bearers.
An exchange has the following
upon this subject: LET the soft tim
Der shelter belts about the home be
replaced by nut-trees., They will
steadily grow into money. Fifty
years from now the income secured
through the suggested change would
amount to millions of dollars. -

Reducing the Cotton Acreage.

What an awful amount of human
tabor wasted to produce only H.
$4,000 bales on over 31,000,000
acres, when if every farmer of the
South really farmed, the crop could
have been made on 100000 acres
and the nearly 2O,0O0,00O that were
-scatched over in cotton could have
been growing forage for stock, corn,
wheat and grass. That is what acre
age reduction means. 1t means bet
ter preparation of the soil, crop rota-
ton for the development of the pro-
'ductive capacity OF the soil. We can
not, of course, hope to get the bale
per-acre standard all at once, but
what rich country the South will be
If we ever get to making the crop of
the season on an equal number of
acres for the bale production. But it
will never come while farmers plant
every acre they have in cotton and
depend solely on comm ercial fertil-
tZer to make a crop, buy the fertil-
Tiers on credit, the mules on credit,
the hay on credit, the meat On credit,
and in the fall have to rush the cot
ton off at any old price to pay their
debts. 1t will come through good
farming only, less land in cotton and
more cotton per acre, and hence
cheaper production. It is to be hoped
that the farmers of the South have
had experience enough in over-acre-
age to make them cautious about
spreading over too much land and
putting troopers in to still further in
crease the weak cotton in the fall

Cut Crimson Clover Early.

Crimson or annual clover is now
coming into bloom, and if cut at the
proper time makes a valuable hay,
even more nutritious than red clover
hay. But if allowed to stand too long
before cutting it makes dangerous
feed for horses.
1t should be cut when in full bloom
and before the heads begin to turn
ripe. If allowed to stand until the
heads, or considerable part of them,
are ripe, there is danger Of them mat
ting and forming balls in horses
stomachs and killing them.
l have seen them taken from
horses stomachs as large as a mans
fist, and am told they often get very
much larger.
l write this note of warning be-
cause many are experimenting with
crimson clover this year who never
grew It before and may not know of
the danger of allowing it to stand
too long before cutting for hay.
Crimson clover is very valuable
crop and should be planted very much
more largely all over the South, but
this caution about cutting it before
the heads get ripe when intended for
hay should be observed. IT. B.
Parker.

A Fine Stand of Alfalfa.

We have one acre of alfalfa sown
latter part of October last, on sandy
land, and have a fine stand; and it is
growing fast; some of it is four to
eight inches in height, and has some
weeds and oats growing in it. Would
like to know whether either of them,
weeds or oats, will damage the alf-
alfa, and also if we can top dress it,
and what kind of fertilizer. We had
the land planted in corn and peas last
year; after gathering the crop we
broadcasted sixty to eighty tons of
stable manure on the acre and then
turned it eighteen inches deep and
cut with disc harrow until the land
was we'll pulyeriZed and leYeled with
harrow and then sowed the seed by
hand and got beautiful stand. This
is the first I ever tried to raise.-E

Get a Good Stand.

Strive to get good stand. All
your careful preparing, and good Gull
tivation, and heavy fertilizing, and all
the sunshine and showers and gently
distilling dews cannot make corn and
cotton grow on stalks that are not
there. Prepare your seed bed well,
be sure your seed are pure, sound
and strong, and then plant them the
proper distance and depth. In this
way you will at least be trying to do
good farmers part in securing good
stand. Progressive Farmer.
