DOES FLORIDA TRUCKING PAY?

Early reports from Manatee are to
the effect that the season of 1911 is
one of the most prosperous seasons
growers in that section have ever ex-
perienced. On tracts ranging from
fifteen acres to three acres, truckers
have sold one-quarter of their yield
of lettuce for more than enough to pay
the expenses of raising the entire
crop.
G. P. Fuller declares that onefourth
of all three of the crops he is making
on joint account in Manatee have
paid expenses and have netted hand
some profit besides.
On 10-acre tract, superintendent by
Tom Afford, not more than a quarter
of the crop had been shipped at the
time the report came in. This had paid
all the expenses of planting, fertilizing
and of hiring hands, besides allowing
Mr.. Afford $40 month for his servic-
es. Thirteen hundred and eighty bas-
kets of lettuce have averaged S1.47
per basket, amounting to $2,O2S.6O
G. C. Vowel, on the 15-acre tract
owner by Mr.. Fuller, has shipped from
four acres 1881 baskets. These av-
eraged $1.44 per basket. The total
revenue up to the date of the report
was $3312.64, while the whole expense
of the fifteen acres was $500. With
eleven acres of fine lettuce remaining
uncut, this farm netted $412.64.
From 3-acre tract, held by Mr..
Fuller's son, about one-quarter of the
entire crop had been shipped One
hundred and seventy-five baskets av-
eraged $1.75, being marketed earlier
than usual. The profit from these
three acres thus far has been $872.75,
while one-half the expense of the farm
was only $500.
P. S. Hardee, one of the best known
truckers in Manatee, has large tract
divided into a lettuce and a celery
farm. Mr. Hardee declares that one
of the first cars of lettuce he shipped
this season was sold for $1,000. He
has paid for his fertilizing from the
returns of some early shipments; this
one item amounting to $1,000. cost
of crate material and packing vegeta-
bles is 40 cents crate. Each car, at
a very conservative estimate, will
net not less than Southwestern
World.

THE sTRINeER AMENDMENT

Hon. Fred L. Stringer. member OF
the legislature from this county, has
an amendment to the constitution to
offer, which is OF great Importance,
and should receive due consideration
by the legislature and the people of
the state. 1t is to amend the constitu-
ton so that every county in the state
shall have senator.
The constitution now divides the
counties into senatorial districts, in
some instances placing more than one
county in district For instance,
9th district is composed of the three
counties of Citrus, fernando and Pas
co. Theoretically the senator repre-
sents the entire district. In point of
fact he only represents the county in
which he lives, his interests are so
closely identified with it that the 9TH
er counties in his district have not an
equal representation in the senate. In
the nature of things, without any
fault of the incumbents, the only coun-
ties having adequate representation in
the senate are those in which the SEN
ators reside. Obviously the only way
to correct this evil is to give each
county representation in the senate by
granting it separate senator. If this

NERvY FLoRIDIAN WEARS STRAW
IN ATLANTA

Gee, kid, pipe de hail" shrieked a
small newsboy as DR.. w. G. Mason,
corresponding secretary of the south
ern branch of the National Dentists
Association, emerged from the termi-
nal station, jauntily wearing a brand
new straw hat of, the latest pattern.
DR.. Mason didn't hear the outbreak
and strobe up on Mitchell street,
thinking of the convention he had
come to the city to attend. However,
one by one the people he met looked
at him as if he was an escaped luna
tic, and one girl snickered outright.
AS he walked along string of people
turned to look at the wonder who
sported straw in April, but the den
fist walked on, unconscious of the stir
he was creating.
Presently, however, he began to no
tice how everyone looked at him. Ner-
vous, he felt of his tie, glanced down
at his shoes, and made a general In
spection of himself without discover
ing anything out of the ordinary.

way?" he asked his companion, DR..
w. A. Dean.
"The hat, mani" said DR.. Dean.
Don't you know that they don't wear
straws in Atlanta this time of the
year?"
DR.. Mason didn't know. They had
been wearing them for six weeks
down in Tampa, and he had bought
new one just for the Atlanta trip.
BY this time string of newsboys
was following him as they would cir
Gus parade. Everybody saw the hat,
and everybody had something to say
about it. In desperation DR.. Mason
hailed passing cab.

and the creation of a suction draught
by pre- heating of the air necessary
for combustion. Since the people of

the aim of The Ranch to give, from
time to time information relative to
such new methods of clearing as are
applicable to the conditions existing.
The apparatus used in this method
is very simple. The work was done

the ground. A charcoal fire is then
started and large cast iron pipe is
connected with 12-foot stack, which
acts as a chimney.
A small three-inch pipe is then
placed within the short length and
the air is drawn through the smaller
pipe to the point of combustion. This
latter pipe becomes red hot and the
air is thus heated before reaching the
burning portion of the stump.
The process is an extension CT the
char pit method and has the advantage
that it can be used in any form of soil.
The heated air method consumes
the stump by burning from the out
side while the char-pit system does

THE PURPOSE
OF ARBOR DAY

Ing au dTOOr udy lie CehCidl I'od 10
the intelligent and apr eciative plant
ing of the trees by the children of
our schools. The planting is usually
accompanied by exercises to impress
upon the mind Of the children the
beauty and usefulness of trees, and
thus lend to the work the value of
bit of nature study. Arbor day has
perhaps done as much as any other
agency, to inculcate the love of trees
in the minds of the little ones, and it
has given a greater impetus to the
general movement for the better
knowledge and wiser use OF our forests
raWhere arbor day has been failure,
it has generally come through by a
lack of care in doing the work as it
should be done, and the neglect of the
trees after they have been planted.
II this is done much of the educa
tional value OF the work is lost. BY
leaving the trees unprotected from
animals, insects and other destructive
agencies, the intended good lesson
and example is turned, for want of
little care into a negative one.
Arbor day is the time to disseminate
sound practical, knowledge regards
forestry in its broader aspect, and
scope. The mere act of setting out a
few trees, without reference to their
commercial utility or the protective
value of the forests, is but a small
part of the work of the day.
The careful selection of the trees
for specific use and situation, is
essential TO success and the proper
planting is of course of equal i'm
portance. Though less fastidious
than the agricultural crops in their
demands upon the soil yet trees can
not be set in rough unprepared soil
at random, and be expected to do
we'll, or to flourish.
Large trees are by no means always
the best to plant. Small trees or
seedlings can be secured easily and
cheaply and are more likely ii all
other things are equal, to live. Ii
these are set out in the school yards,
parks or along the streets and drives
in the proper proportion after the
pattern of their respective plans, they
will in due time become source OF
much beauty and help to enrich the
landscape, the city, the town and the
schoolhouse surroundings.
Outside the scope of the actual
planting, it is we'll to bear in mind
that arbor day is not the only day on
which trees deserve the Intelligent
thought and care of the children.
They must be looked after through
out the year. Watching the trees or
plantation thrive under right treat
ment greatly adds to the educational
value of the work which otherwise
would leave but slight impression.
In after years nothing would be
more pleasing to the minds OF the
children then grown up to manhood
and womanhood, than to be able to
point with satisfaction to the work of
their school days.
Written in the interest of arbor day,
