Soap Tree In Florida.

Side by side grow the soap tree and
the tallow tree. The soap tree Yields a
product from which is manufactured
the purest article of soap that is pos.
sible TO be made. Indeed, the pulp of
this berry is a natural soap and will
make lather almost like the manu-.
factured article. The soap berry tree
is now creating widespread interest
and the berries are being imported
from Algiers and China.
II will pay to plant the trees and
look after their cultivation. The prod.
uct of the tallow tree also enters into
the product OF soap and the two to-
gether make nice combination, and
their cultivation should be looked
after by those interested in new in.
dustries. Besides soap the soap ber.
ries make a fine oil. and when the vir.
tues of the tallow tree are fully known
IL may also yield a fine and profitable
oil The young man who now plants
out ten or twenty-acre orchard OF
these two trees may drop into r.n easy
fortune.-Ocala Banner

and, since It is grown on very ex'
tensive scale (see Fig. u, 1t must be
so distributed as to meet only the i'm
mediate demands of the market to
which IL Is sent.
At the north the crop is Of very
different character, both in variety
and in the method of its cultivation.
The great bulk of the northerng grown
cabbage may be considered as a
truck-crop feature of the general farm
ing in sections where the industry has
gained a foothold The cabbage crop
takes a regular place in the farm ro-
tation in those communities whore the
industry has become p permanent
feature. In some sections 1t forms the
chief money crop Of the fall season,
occupying position similar to that
held by potatoes in other sections.
This great crop is measured by
thousands of acres and millions OF
tons. At harvest time, in October and
November, 1t is shipped to the great
consuming centers In bulk in carload
lots. 1t is stored by thousands OF
tons In specially constructed ware
houses, to be sent out as the demands
Ct the marke. will justify during the
winter season. II Is also manufactured
into sauerkraut, which finds its way
to the great cities as rapidly as there
is a demand for It. A sauerkraut fac
tory with wagons filled with cabbages
is shown In Fig. 2.
Besides the staple market-garden
crops OF the north which are now ex
tensively grown as truck crops
throughout the South Atlantic coast
region, there are crops which are
more or less peculiar to certain 10
calities. AS illustrations, the water

garden crops without protection and
many of the more tender crops with
only slight protection during the win
ter months. The islands off the coast
of South Carolina, in the vicinity of
Charleston, are SO protected by the
warm currents and by the atmosphere
of the sea that orange trees are grown
successfully in the open. and in some
favorable seasons are known TO pro

The advantages OF the Norfolk re.
gion for truck work appealed to a
Jerseyman by the name of Hugh
Bates, who went TO this section about
1910. Naturally he followed the prac.
tices of his home people of New Jer.
sey In the new territory, and, while
he found some of his precautions un.
necessary, his work on the whole was
successful. He was followed later by
other growers from the same terri.

ways began carrying the products
from Norfolk TO northern markets in
1885, and from Charleston in 1888.
The methods employed to adapt
cabbage to the requirements of the
market and TO the different areas In
the trucking region are distinct and
each forms chapter in the cultural
history OF this important truck crop
For instance. at the south cabbage is

ing September and October, the plants

IS A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS
Austrian Wise Men at Loss to 40
count fer Memory Displayed
by Idiot Boy.

An extraordinary case of memory
in ten-year-old boy was presented
at the last meeting OF the Vienna
Psychological and Neurological soci
ETY., the New York Sun says.
Without a moments hesitation he
could tell the day of the week of any
date mentioned, also the name. day
and the date of the movable feasts in
any year. He answered Immediately
and accurately such questions as
What day was June IA, 1S0S?"
when is Ash Wednesday, 1917
How long is the carnival in 1922"
When is Easter, 1922" His answers
were given without hesitation and
were invariably correct.
Curiously enough. his range of mem.
ory was bounded sharply by the years
/ 1000 and 1000 A. ID. Before the first
named year or after the last he knew
nothing of the calendar at all.
The boy is the son of an army of.
! ficer, now dead. Asked how he could
give so promptly the day of the week
OF any date in thousand years he re.
/ piled by giving one of the existing
| formulas for such matters, which he
/ appeared TO have learned out of an
| almanac
The director of the asylum where
the boy is an inmate said it was easi.
ly ascertained that he made no use
AT all of such formulas. These formu.
las would not aid him in giving dates
of the movable feasts, and. moreover.
they apply equally to the years before
and after 1000 A. ID.
1t would appear that the boys
knowledge must be based in some
way upon memorized material.

The development and extension of
truck farming in the Atlantic coast
states has been coincident with the
development of transportation facili-
ties throughout that section. The
phenomenal growth of the great con
suming centers of the country has
stimulated a corresponding growth
and extension of the food-producing
territory, especially OF that capable
OF producing perishable truck crops.
Transportation facilities, together
with cheap labor and cheap lands at
