Second in value only to the citrus /
crop. We will have to start twenty |
new national banks to care for this |
money, said Professor Rolls.
Stored with Sugar and Sunshine
Over half this room is filled with
the citrus display-many grapefruit
and many more oranges. The sweet
ness and sunshine of a Florida year
is stored in each of these golden
globes, going to make fruit that is
equalIed nowhere else in the world.
The beauty of the oranges cannot be
excelled even in Florida. Citra, Nc
Intosh, Lake Weir and all parts of
the county famous for orange grow
ing are represented.
Woman's Department
Beyond saying that this depart
ment is full of beautifully useful
and dainty things, the Star can give
no further description in this arti-
Gle To tell it with her usual accu-
racy and good taste was to have
been the pleasant task Of the society
reporter, Miss Annie Atkinson, but
sad message has called her away
and no one can take her place.
The Corn and Canning Clubs
The displays of these encourage
| ingly useful organizations take up
the main hall of the Ocala Lumber
& Supply Co. building. Looking over
| the proceeds of their industry and
Intelligence is a broadly printed
verse that most fittingly says:
Marion, raise your standard high
When proudly your banner un-
furls,
No greater wealth beneath it
Than Marion's boys and girls
The result of the work of these
young people is most gratifying. The
| girls show beautiful talent. Sew
eral stacks of of canned vegetables,
| and many jars of fruit are in their
| display. In all, more than fifty va
rieties of Marion county fruit and
vegetables, just as we'll put up as
| they could be in any canning fac
tory. 1t is easy to see what large
| figure this cuts in our home indus
try.
The work of the boys corn clubs
cannot of course show such yarie-
| ty, but it is an assurance of another
great movement that will not only
! add immensely to our material re-
sources, but reinforce the ethical
one as we'll in it's influence in keep
ing the country boys in the healthy
! surroundings of the farms instead
of crowding to the cities.
Fine Display of Fowls
The poultry department was Won
derful. Ben Raysor's white turkeys
that awakened so much admiration
Tuesday were reinforced by dozens
of darker birds, all plump enough
to print a Thanksgiving poem on
each glossy wing.
The chickens were all too pretty
for anything but pets. Some of
them were pets, namely, Mrs.
George Bitches single-comb white
Plymouth Rocks, which were as
tame as kittens. The Ivy Poultry
Farm also had an exhibit of single
barred White Plymouth Rocks, and
the long rows of coops were entirely
filled with barred Plymouth Rocks
brown Leghorns, white Minorcas
black Minorcas, Wyandots, Orping
tons, Brahmas and other breeds re
nowned for quality as we'll as gooG
: looks There were ducks and Indian
i Runner ducks in dozens, and man!
geese There were many white anC
: brown rabbits. and several cages o
e very pretty little dogs. The coop:
: had been viewed by the judges anC
u most of them had red or blue rib
l. bons tied to them. AS Dr.. Newsom
;, the veteran physician, said after see
q ing the birds. all deserved blue rib
bons.
\ high compliment to our fai
L was the presence Of Mr.. J. H. Wen
q dler of Lakeland, who brought elev
en- varieties Of fowls from his Rose
lawn poultry farm to exhibit at tn
fair Some of these birds took priZ
es at Madison Square in New York
> and some in Boston. Mr.. Wendle
praised the fair highly.
