PLANS OF THE GOVERNMENT TO
REFoREST LANDS IN FLORIDA

This paper, in its issue of Tuesday,
printed a letter from the forest de-
partment of the land office at Wash
ington, in which it said that at the
request of the DunnellOn Phosphate
Company the United States forest ser
vice has just completed an examina-
ton of vast areas Of cut-over lands in
Marion and Citrus counties in this
state. There was found about 5000
acres in which every pine tree had
been cut and no natural reproduction
had taken place. This letter went on
to say that after a careful study of
conditions il was decided that the
sowing of long-leaf pine seeds in spots
would be the most practical method
OF accomplishing this end. The grow
ing of this specie of pine. the writer
of the article said. was not considered
feasible owing to the long tap roots,
characteristic of the long-leaf pine,
making transporting exceedingly diff
fcult.
In a conversation with Col w. n.
Camp, a gentleman who takes great
interest in matters of this kind. he
said that if the ground where these
trees have been cut off the land is
DlOughed at certain distances that the
seed yet on the ground will terminate
and grow. He said it is not necessary
10 pillow over the entire ground, but
just turn over a shallow furrOw. say
ten or fifteen feet apart, and one will
be surprised at the number Of seed
ling pines that will spring up.
We hope that someone with influ-
ence enough to have the matter tested
will call the attention of the forest
service at Washington to what Col.
Camp says, as ii is a valuable sugges-
ZION. and the experiment will cost very
little.

A FLOWER FOR EUGENE MATH
EWS

Hon. Eugene S. Mathews, speaker
Of the last house of representatives,
is again candidate for representative
in the legislature from Bradfard coun-
ty, and will probably have no opposi-
ton. Men who are frank. fearless,
fair-devOted to the interests of all
the people rather than to a faction
are hard to find, but Bradford county
has found one such in E S Mathews.
His eminent fairness, his impartiality,
was the notable characteristic of his
work as presiding officer in the last
house and he left the chair at the
close OF the session more popular, if
that were possible, with the members
than when, at the beginning, they

CATARRHIS DURABLE
Successful Experiments in Abut
ing und Curing this Disease.

Catarrh is entirely an unnecessary
disease and should not be tolerated
for a single day. now that Hyomei is
so generally known and has made so
many cures in Ocala and other towns.
Modern science has disproved the
old theory that catarrh was a blood
disease. 1t is a germ trouble, and the
remedy is HyOmei. which medicates
the air you breathe, killing all ca
tarrhal germs.
As there is life and health in the
air of the pine forests, filled with fra
grant and healing balsams, so there is
life and health in breathing HyOmei.
So sure is this prescription to cure
even the worst cases of catarrh that
the POstOf1ce Drugstore sells it under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money if it does not do all that is
claimed for it. 80
