and most successful farmers in his VII
cinity, tested their advice and expert
mented on his own account.
ITO this fact Mr.. King attributes
the discovery of a number of innova
tions, the result of an open mind and
an investigating spirit, of which log
road drapping is one.
'rThe man who was raised on the
farm says Mr.. King, is prone to do
things as his father did, who perhaps
took pattern from the young mans
grandfather. While in my case | had
all to learn and it seemed natural to
try to select the best methods.
Mr.. King is also an expert horse
man and lectures on the management
of horses. He has evolved a method
of breaking colts by which they are
brought under control without being
battered or bridled, He says it is as
simple as road dragging and almost
as hard to believe as road dragging
was four or five years ago.
Some of us have wondered how
farmer could satisfy the wide range
OF audiences faced by Mr. King. au-

country districts and others in the lux
urious club rooms of great cities; the
mystetry Is explained when we know
OF his life history"

SEQUO|A TREES

IN FLA. FOREST
WILL EXPERT
MENT HERE WITH BIG TREE
, WHICH HAS MADE CALIFORNIA
so FAMoUs-MARITINE PINE
AND CORK OAK TREES ALSO
TO BE PLANTED.

Believing that the forests of Florida
are adapted to the raising of the kind
OF trees for which California is famous,
the forest department has determined
to experiment extensively in the
Florida National forest with these
kind of trees.
For this purpose. Supervisor Ed
ridge, Of the Florida National Forest,
says five or six thousand young
Sequoia trees have just been received
and will Immediately be set out in
this forest. Many of them will be
planted in the Carbohydrates d.
vision, where 1t is believed the
climatic conditions and soil are ad-
mirably adapted to the cultivation of
these gigantic trees The SeQuoia is
the tree which grows to such immense
proportions in California and about
which so much has been written and
such wonderful tales have been told.
II is commonly known as the red wood
tree and is very useful for manuA
featuring and other purposes,
Mr.. Eldrtdge also said yesterday
afternoon that 500 pounds of maritime
pine seed and 400 cork oak seedlings
have just been received for planting
in this forest. Nearly all of these
trees will be planted in the Choctaw-
hatchee division. In fact, ell of the
cork oak seedlings will be transplant
ed in this division, and the greater
portion of the maritime pine seed viii
be used here.
Within the past two or three years
a great many cork oak and MARITIME
pine trees have been planted in this
forest an dthe indications are that
both of the trees are unusually well
adapted to the conditions prevailing in
Florida, the experiments Of the past
proving highly satisfactory to the de-
partment so far!
Both of thees trees are very valua-
bic for commercial use and 1t is only
a question Of a few years until the
Florida forest becomes one of the
most valuable forest reservations of
the government.

BILLINGS, Sept. 30.-The campaign
OF sugar making was started at 7
O'Clock this morning by the big sugar
factory following q delay OF several
days occasioned BY Indictment weather.
It is expected 1t will continue until
about February l.
The acreage cultivated to the crop
was increased last spring approxim.
ately one.third, so that the yield from
about 2l,o00 acres will pass through
the NAV of the great mill before the
end of the season. The capacity also
has been made much larger and 1900
tons will be ground each day. The
operating force includes about 500
men. exclusive OF those who are en-.
gagged in duties in the field and at the
receiving stations and dumps.
If the weather clears so that the hsr.
vesting al proceed to lite fullest ex.
tent, it is estimated that 1000 tons Of
beets will be delivered at the mill
each day, which means that approx.

Second.-It clogs the surface few

Third.-It crowds out air. This les.

Fourth.-It lowers the temper ature
