Bob Burman celebrated his 9th
birthday by making new automobile
racing history at Daytona Beach. He
proved he was only "joy riding" Sat
urday when he placed the mile mark
at 26:12, and the kilometer mark at
1927. for Sunday he clipped the mile
down to 25:4O seconds, and the kilo-
meter record to 1888 seconds. He
also lowered Barney Oldfield's two
mile world record of 55:S7 seconds to
SLIPS seconds.
E. A. Moross, owner of the Bitten
Benz" was enthusiastic over the rec
ords set up by Burman, and declared
it was his intention to take Burman to
the Brooklands track in England this
year an pit him against the great Eu-
ropean drivers. Burman also was the
recipient of message of congratula-
ton from Barney Oldfield, the former
speed king, now in Los Angeles.

HOW FARMERS Benefit UNDER
FREE LIST BILE

If the farmers free list bill becomes
a law, the remission in duties will be
more than $8,00O,OOO. The cotton grow
ers of the south, it is estimated, will
save $1,500,000 on a 100000 bale
crop. On sacks to ship peanuts, pota-
toes and kindred farm products there
will be a saving, Mr.. Kitchen, who ar
ranged this list for the ways and
means committee, thinks, of from 3d.
0O0,0 to $4,O0O,OO0.
Free lumber will save western home
builders not less than $2O,OOO,0OO TAX
ing the duties from the products of the
steel trust will save about $4,000, 600
This includes fencing and baling
wires.
At the present price of flour there
should be a cut of SLY a barrel. The
public generally should save more in
proportion from boots and shoes, salt
leather goods and harness, Mr.. James
of Kentucky said recently.
Mr.. Underwood said that the north
ern farmer would profit from duty
free farm implements and burlaps anC
sacks; the southern farmer from cot
ton bagging and ties.

MARION COUNTY FAIR ASsocIA-
TIoN MEETING

After several unsuccessful attempts
to get the stockholders of the Marion
County Fair Association together to
elect officers and attend to other mat
tiers to come before the body, a meet
ing was held at the board of trade
rooms Tuesday evening.
Nearly all the stockholders were
either present or represented at the
meeting by proxy.
Mr.. George K. Robinson was re-
elected president and Mr.. D. S. Will
liams secretary, for the coming year.
Mr.. John L. Edwards was elected
treasurer. A board of directors was
also elected. composed of the follow
ing gentlemen: w. M. Gist, Mcintosh;
Baxter earn, NJ. j. Roess, c. Carmi-
chael, r. S. Hall and H. A. Fausett,
Ocala; S. r. Pyles, Shady; E. L.
Wartmann, Citra.
There had been some rumors abroad
to the effect that there was dissatis-
faction in various quarters as to the
management of the affairs of the as
ISOLATION. These were pretty thorough
ly aired at the meeting, and after all
had been gone over, it was decided to
re-elect the former officers, it being
conceded that there was no better ma
terial in Marion county for the con-
duct of the fair than Messrs. Robinson
and Williams.
Now let every citizen of Marion
county get to work with a determine
ton to make a better and more cred
liable display at the fair next fall
than we have ever had before. We
can do it, and nothing should stand
between US and our plain duty to the
best county in Florida.
The county fair at Ocala, Florida, is
possibly as well and favorably known
throughout the entire country as any
affair of it's kind in the south, and it
is up to the people of the county who
have their best interests at heart to
make next falls exhibit surpass every
previous effort. Again we say we can
do it, so let's get busy.

EUCALYPTUS TREES FOR THE
ocALA FOREST

Supervisor Eldridge, accompanied by
Bristow Adams of the forset service,
will leave this city early tomorrow
morning for a trip through the Choc-
tawahatchee and Ocala forests. Mr..
Adams, who is a prominent forest
Tampa, where he had been superin-
tending the planting of eucalyptus
trees, and the main purpose of his
visit to this office is to look after some
planting which is to be done in the
Ocala forest in the near future.
Mr.. Adams, when seen yesterday af-
ternoon by a Journal representative,
talked interestingly and enthusiastic
ally of the prospects for the success
lyptus in this state. Mr.. Adams says
that the eucalyptus will not grow
where oranges will not grow. He
states that the eucalyptus is the most
rapid growing tree in the world, and
that some species are the largest trees
in the world, not even excepting the
California re-woods.
The eucalyptus tree, provided it can
be successfully cultivated here, will
be Of great value commercially, the
gum being valuable article, while il
makes what is considered in some re-
spects the best timber in the world
According to the plans of Mr.. Ad-
ans, about 1900 trees will be set out
within the bounds of the Ocala for
est. This, Of course, is the first exper-
iment, and If they prove satisfactory
more will be set out. The trees which
are to be set out within the next few
weeks are now at Miami, and will be
shipped here shortly. The trees are
set out in small pots, and when they
are transplanted the pots will be plac-
ed in the ground without removing the
trees, thus preventing the danger OF
breaking the roots and losing any OF
the native soil.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Adams that
the work of planting these trees will
be begun in about a month, it being
considered wise to wait until just be-
fore the rainy season to set them out

BOX OF MAGNIFICENT OR.
ANGES

The editor of this paper, few days
ago, received from Mr.. Drew T. john
son, the superintendent of the famous
Monarch and Ventura orange groves
near Wildwood box of magnificent
oranges. They are of the Tardiff va
riety, and we do not exaggerate when
we say we have never seen more
beautiful oranges, and as to their fla
vor and texture we would put them
up against any oranges we have ever
eaten.
The Monarch and Ventura are two
of the largest groves in the country,
and the oranges raised there have ac-
quired a world wide reputation. Mr..
Johnson certainly has our sincere
thanks for his gift.

A Famous North Carolina Mountain
Peak Leveled by Earthquake

A special from North Carolina says
that belated reports from the noun
famous section of Pennsylvania coun-
ty state that Caesars Head" a ia
nous peak of the Blue Ridge, about
twenty miles from Brevard, had been
overturned by the earthquake shock
which is said to have been felt in va
rious sections of western North Caro-
lima Friday night.
Caesars Head" has been one of the
show places of western North Caro-
lima since this country was first de-
veloped.
Many Ocala people have at various
times summered at Caesars Head,
or in it's immediate vicinity.

BOYS CORN CLUBS DOING GOOD
WORK
This Popular and Profitable Organiza-
ton Has Increased Yield From Is
to so Bushels

ton Has Increased Yield From Is
to so Bushels
Boys corn clubs organized so mod
estly a couple of years or so ago are
going to have, in fact, are having al
ready, a marked influence on the ag-
ricuulture of this and other southern
states. In practically all of the south
ern papers more or less attention is
given to these clubs and to corn exhi-
billions which are to be held next fall.
The success achieved in growing
corn has directed the attention of
farmers to the possibilities there are
in corn. Before the organization of
these clubs the great majority of
farmers were satisfied if they got fif-
teen or twenty bushels to the acre.
while now it is no unusual thing to
gather so bushels or more on the
same acreage.
The farmers will be slow, of course,
to admit that the boys are leading in
agricultural development, but assum-
ing that what we have said about the
effect of the corn clubs is correct, it
looks as if they would have to admit
it. In demonstrating the possibilities
of the soil for corn the boys have
pointed the way to stock-raising and
diversified farming generally.
The movement now going on in the
direction Of small farms will prove to
be blessing to the south. 1t will put
an end to the tenant system and prac-
tically solve the labor problem. The
farmer will cultivate no more cotton
than he and his family can harvest; at
least no more than he is certain he can
get the necessary labor to harvest;
but that will not mean reduction in
the cotton crop. The cotton will come
from an immense number of small
farms and will be grown on land that
will produce twice as many pounds of
cotton per acre as is produced at
present. And the cotton will be cul-
tivated and harvested at a cost much
less than it is now.
Of course the change outlined isn't
being brought about altogether by
boys corn clubs, but they are having
a tremendous influence. The agricul-
tural colleges are having a wonderful
educational influence and the news
having a good effect, but the boys
corn clubs are object lessons that are
a tremendous factor in the agricultu-
raj development that is going on.-Sa-
vannah News.
