CLEANING UP ROCKY LAND.

flint rocks from one to 200 pounds in weight
DO you think IL would pay me to remove them
Some rocky land with which the writer is
acquainted is very rich and It will pay to

rock off certain sections OF the college farm
and have a great many more 10 remove before
we get the land in ideal condition. We know
OF no machine save human hands and a wag-
on to- which a good team Of mules is at

sometimes takes two or three men to handle
them. and II is apparently a slow and costly
undertaking, but we do much work OF this
kind when the ground is wet and during the
winter season. While the process is slow you
can put the land In condition for cultivation
in the course OF a few years. You must be
the Judge whether II viii pay you to do this
not. for II the land a. naturally poor and
unfertiie. we doubt very much II we would
waste time on Il. there Is too much good
land uncultivated In the state for any one
to spend any considerable time and money
In trying 20 clean up and cultivate a barren
rocky piece Of land. We are often surprised
20 see labor and fertilizer lavished on soils Of
doubtful value when much land Of excellent
quality is but indifferently cultivated.

vile as They Come and Go

Judge L. w. Bethel, of Key West,
formerly lieutenant governor of Florida,
was in Ttusville Monday, calling on his
old-time friends, Mrs. Jas. Pritchard and
Mr.. F. H. Boye, on his way to the Is
land City.

Hastings Wins Game

The return ball game with the
Hastings team Saturday afternoon
was won by the potato boys on a
score of 8 to 2.
The game started off all right in
the first inning-nO runs on either
side; but after that Hastings piled
up a runs in one inning while the
home nine were marked up with
goose eggs.
McLendOn pitched the first six in
nings for Titusville; then Wade was
placed in the box. Tucker pitched
the whole game for the visitors, and
put up most effective work. After
the sixth inning Titusville commenc-
ed to score and also shut out the
visitors-but it was too late to win
the game.
The Hastings boys felt good over
winning one game during their
weeks tour of the coast, the next
closest contest being their tie with
Cocoa; Fort Pierce beating them 2 to
l last Friday afternoon.

TitusviIle 4, Fort Pierce 1

The Fort Pierce baseball team,
which has been having things all
their own way all summer down the
coast, and Dragging pretty heavy
about it too, brought their ''long
green" up to Titusville yesterday
and parted with 1.-THE Titusville
nine having arranged the first of the
week for a game with them on the
diamond here for a hundred dollars
a side, and we won the money on a
score of 4 to l.
We guess Fort Pierce decided yes
terday that Titusville's baseball boys
are not in the Oak Hill-Aurantia
class, as they so boldly announced in
the Fort Pierce papers a few weeks
ago.
The game was a pretty one from
start to finish. Htusville would have
shut out the visitors but for the fact
that Wade in center field and Battle
at home plate thought two men were
down and Wade's catch put side out,
when Battle threw down his mask
and NIT and Wade threw the ball
back of home plate and Bullock scOr-
ed from third.
DeCourcey made the first run for
Titusville in the fourth, and in the
seventh Battle, Tucker and Norwood
scored amidst the greatest excite
ment ever witnessed on the Titus
vile diamond.
In the handling of the stick Titus
vile did the best batting, and no er-
rorS were noted in the field on either
side. fuckers pitching was toe
much for Fort Pierce, for he did
most effective work, not allowing but
two hits. Baker allowed six hits.
The visitors are anxious for a re-
turn game and their manager, DIR.
w. E. Vanlandingham, handed THE
STAR the following challenge last
night:
To the Titusville Baseball Team:
We hereby challenge you for a game
of ball to be played at Fort Pierce or
Thursday, Oct. 7th. or any day of that
week. In case this game is won by
Fort Pierce third game will be played
to decide the series, place of playing tC
be decided by both teams.

Munson Makes a Proposition

GEoRGIANA, FLA, Sept. 22, '09.
Editor of THE FLORIDA STAR:
Dear Sir: Please allow me space
in your paper for a few words to the
orange growers living on the south
ern part of the Island. / wish very
much to be a member of an associa-
ton, and so part of the Citrus Ex-
change. We are too few in Geor-
giana to equip and run packing
house economically, and so l make
this suggestion:
Let the growers living or owning
groves on the Island, from Geor-
giana to the point, form ONE associa-
ton and have our packing house at
Eau Gallie. Banana river growers
could work in the same association.
With Capt. Casper's boat running
as it does at present, it is easy for us
to get together at Georgiana, have
abundant time for our meeting and
return the same day.
Now, fellow-growers, if you are
interested, send me a card, suggest
ing a time for the meeting.
Let us get at work soon.
