windbreak affords protection for birds
TIE year around.
The cost OF planting a wind-break
need not be excessive. Three-year-
ola, once transplanted stock with good
thrifty roots is the youngest stock
that should be used. Trees OF this age
give best results because they with
stand the shock of lifting, change or
soil and handling much better than
older trees. Such stock should cost
from eight to twelve dollars per thou
sand
The ground where the wind-break is
to stand should be plowed and cropped
one year before setting out the trees.
This treatment makes regular cultiva'
tion possible until the trees are too
large &c work. Grass should not be
allowed to grow about the young trees
If rapid, healthy growth is desired.
Tho two trees most widely used for
this purpose are Norway Spruce and
White Pine. The White Pine gives
best results on the heavier soils, both
clay loans and peat loans, while Nor
way Spruce is better adapted TO the
lighter soils and sandy loans.
The White Pine wind-break (shown
in the illustration) on the Agricultural
College farm is seven-eighths of a
mile in length with an average height
of from 25 to 80 feet. Three-year-old
stock was used in the planting, which
was done 'during the seasons OF 1893
and 1900. Seven years after planting
the lower inner branches. which were
mostly dead, were trimmed off as q
precaution against fire. The outside
branches extend to the ground and
since they have sufficient light remain
alive and green.

TO TAKE CHAM !.
And Direct Affairs of PaIatka
Board Trade

The mass meeting called by the Pal
atka Board OF trade at the City Hall last
Monday night was attended by some 80
OF Palatka's leading business men.
The meeting was called 10 order by
Hon. Howell A. Davis, president OF the
board, who stated the object the meet
ing.
Mr.. Davis said that the time had ar
rived when the boards work oughtto be
placed in the hands of an efficient paid
secreiary-one who could give his en-
tire time 10 the work OF the city's in
dustriaI developments; that the work
was TOO much for Col. de Nontmollin,
who had given his services free for
several years, but whose personal bust.
ness now made it impossible 10 attend
to the work OF the board. A good man,
Mr. Davis thought, could be obtained for
$500 year and travelling expenses and
he thought that the board would need al
least So, 600 TO carry on its work properly.
Several business men spoke of the
urgency of the work and its importance,
and all agreed with President Davis that
a professional secretary was the need OF
the city. Among those who spoke and
pledged financial assistance were E. Mr..
Earnest, J. H. Yelverton, ir., F. A. Ger.
Der. W. T. Ledbelter, w G. Tilghman
and others.

SAM HILBURN'S GOOD RECORD

But it is OF his career as a legis-
Iator that we wish to treat in this
article, though limited space makes
It impossible to more than touch
lightly upon the more important fea-
lures OF that admirable record with
which we are intimately acquainted
because OF our association at the last
two sessions OF the Florida legisla-
ture.
At the 1909 session Mr.. Hilburn was
a recognized leader of the progress
sives' in the house of representa-
lives, and much OF the good legisla-
ton enacted then can be traced di-
recuy or indirectly to his efforts. He
introduced and secured the passage
OF a bill requiring the advertisement
OF State lands prior to their sale.
Students Of political affairs have
rightly said that this law was one of
the really great acts Of that notable
session.
BY this compelling publicity COM
petition has been invited in the sales
OF these coveted lands, and the fnan-
clai benefits accruing thercirom can
not be oyercstimated Suffice to saw
tuhat IN one sale this act saved the
State quarter of million dollars.
Mr.. fIlIburn'S record as repre-
sentative was so satisfactory In his
constituents that he was elected IN
inc senate IN the following campaign.

Two years ago Congressman Frank
Clark made a speech at Middleburg
in which he stated that only two
newspapers in this district opposed
his denomination to congress-,the
Clay County Times and st. Angus
tine Meteor. Mr.. Clark, at the same
time, fired some uncalIed for remarks
around loose about his conception OF
the mental inefficienCy OF the Times
editor. to which we took no eXcep-
ton, knowing as we do that it IS
an absolute necessity for Mr.. Clark
to abuse somebody if he makes a
speech, and we don't see that his
"lambasting" has hurt us a bit: in
fact, we didn't hear OF it for sew
eral months.
The Times, was the first newspaper
in this district TO raise its voice
against Mr.. Clark, and for a time 1t
made the fight alone but there IS
plenty of help now: two-thirds OF the
papers in the district are opposing
his nomination this year
Mr.. Clark has resided, at various
times. in four counties in Florida
Polk, Duval, Columbia and Alachua-
and in each OF these counties there
are newspapers opposing his noml-
nation, and it never speaks well Tor
a man when his own neighbors turn
their backs on him.
We believe there are but four pa
pers in the district supporting Mr.
Clark-and some one mean enough
to say that three Of these papers and

In considering the candidacy OF
man for public office, the voters
should acquaint themselves with the
record Of the aspirant II his actions
in the past have been OF a nature
calculated to benefit the masses
rather than the classes, then he is
worthy OF support and endorsement.
If, to the contrary. his public lie
has been devoted TO promoting the
interests OF the favored few at the
expense OF the many, then it mat
tiers not how loudly he proclaims his
love for the dear pee-pul' and his
loyalty to their cause, his utterances
should fall upon unhcaring. unbeiev-
ing ears. Bearing these Self-evidcnt
truths in mind, we trust that the
good democrats OF this district will
examine closely into the records OF
the three gentlemen seeking congress

gently and Enthusiastically. cast their
ballots for the man who has ever
peen and will continue To be a worker
for progressive democracy Sam
Iel J. Hilburn OF Putnam county.
Ever since entering upon the prac-
tice of his chosen profession-the
LAWN Palatka, Sam Hilburn has
been active in the public life OF his
town and county, and in all the State
no community has been served more
ably more honestly, more energet-

fulness tried, he has been loyal to
his people and faithful to the trust
reposed in him.
