HUMOROUS QUIPS
A Wasted Smile.

She looked at me and sweetiy smiled.
No fairer face I'd ever seen,
AS winsome as a little child.
I'll bet she wasn't past eighteen.
Her hair was golden as the sun.
Her eyes were orbs of wondrous blue
She looked at me and smiled as one
That l might well have spoken to.
She sat alone, and so did /,
This damsel with the form divine.
Her lips were red as cherry pie.
But only once her eyes met mine.
Oh, there was glory in her face!
Her cheeks were pink as any rose.
Her every move was one of grace,
And Grecian was. think, her nose.

And that she smiled at me in vain.

COMPLETE RECORD OF THE

age OF Acid
A complete record OF the ripenine
CT fruit on twenty-five trees, in diff
ferent sections and of various varie-
ties, is being kept at the State labor
atory at Tallahassee under State
Chemist r. Z. Rose. and will be pub
iished at the conclusion OF the sea-
son. This record. compiled from an.
alysis of samples of oranges sent to
the laboratory every week by the
growers, will show the change In
percentage of acid and sugar in the
oranges from week to week. and the
Gate on which the orange of the va
rious varieties and localities became
ripe.
This will be the first accurate re.
cording of the ripening of Florida
oranges. Complete only for single
year. it will not be an indisputable
iadcx to the qualities of the various
fruits and Loo alities. but it will be y
valuable aid to the shipper and
grower, and to the State in the ef-
fort to prevent the shipping of green
fruit. From the twenty-five trees a
sample is picked and shipped every
week, A dozen oranges constitute
a sample.
Might Use Maximum Acid Test
MIR. Rose is satisfied with the pres
cnt formula and laws which he says
have been proven by this years ex-
perience to be nearly right. He hopes
1t will be adopted by the growers
again next year. and considers it ad-
visable. A modification, however,
which he suggests as making the
testing easier would be to fix the per
cent of acid without relation to tn,
percentage of sugar. Beyond a Ger
tain percentage of the fruit juice the
acid should not be permitted to go,
regardless of what proportion sugar
thcre is. BY fixing top limit for the
per cent of acid the same results
would be secured, and more definite
ly than by the seven to one formula.

Farson Brown fruit became fit for
