A CALAMITY THREATENS OCALA
A Writer in the Metropolis Says That
the Loss of Rooney to Ocala VIII
BE Worse Than the Freeze

Writing from Ocala booster sign
ing his name j. F. D." says:
Ocala is an old town; before the big
freeze of 81 and 95 it was a hummer;
more orange groves in Marion than
any other county in the state. After
the big freeze the people lost their
nerve and ambition and gave up cit
rus fruits almost entirely, and began
general and truck farming.
The soil is good. better drainage
than many counties. and the farmers
are making money.
Last February the Ocala citizens
and the board of trade held a smok
er. and they pledged a lot of money
to hire a secretary. and make an ad-
vertising campaign,
A few days ago the board secured
the services of Jefferson Davis Roo
ney of Jacksonville, former assistant
industrial agent of the Seaboard rail-
way.
Mr. Rooney has had vast experience
in the publicity world, and if Ocala
will do by him what they said they
would, back him up financially and
all pull together" much could be ac-
complished.

Farmer 5 Corner,
RAPE

Rape is grown in the United
States primarily as a forage
plant, out in Europe it is also
quite widely grown, mainly for
the production Of oil from the
seeds. The oil is used for illumi-
mating purposes, for table use
and for fabrication. Rape be-
longs to the cabbage family and
has the fieshy character of the
leaf of cabbage. The leaves
grow very rank and are sweet
and tender. The plants grow tC
a height of one to four feet, de-
pending upon the soil and season,
The principle uses Of rape fol-
forage are for pasturage or soil
ing for sheep, hogs and scme
times cattle. 1t is of course, i'm
possible to cure rape so that il
may be used for hay, neither is
it satisfactory for silage purpos
es. When pastured the stool
should be turned on when the
plants reach the proper size, us
ually six to eight weeks. Befor,
it is eaten down very closely tn,
stock should be removed to Civ,
the plants an opportunity to sen,
up new leaves. If handled thi
way field will furnish pastur
age for a long period.

should not be cut too closely orit
win be killed. If cut from 4 to 5
inches high three cuttings can
often be secured.
When sheep or cattle are turn
ed on rape it is we'll to give them
some dry feed previously or they
may bloat seriously, especially if
the rape is wet. Hogs are not
affected, however, and can be
turned on at anytime. The great
est danger from bloating occurs
when first turning on the pas
ture, for after stock become ac-
customed to feeding on it they
can be turned directly on rape
without much danger. Stock
will sometimes refuse to eat rape
readily at first, but they soon
learn to relish it. If fed to dai.
ny cattle, rape should be fed af-
ter the milking period, otherwise
the milk is liable to have a cab
bage flavor. Rape is very pala
table and makes a splendid feeC
to use in connection with grair
for fattening hogs and sheep, L
is very cheaply grown and it

have grown it are very enthusi

Rape requires rich land, in fact
it cannot be too rich. The addi-
ton of manure andin some cases,
heterogeneous fertilizers, is neces-
sary to give the maximum yield.
The land for rape should be we'll
prepared and finely pulverized.
The seed may be sown very ear
ly and as late as August. 1t
takes a rather a hard freeze to
injure rape and it will furnish
pasturage until nearly Christmas
if late paintings are made. 1t is
usually large enough to pasture
in four to eight weeks.
Rape seeds are very small,
about like black mustard seed.
Three to five pounds are suffi-
cient to sow an acre. 1t may be
sown broadcast and narrowed in
lightly or covered with a brush
as is sometimes done with turnip
seed. Sowing in drills about "a
inches apart is consideren by
many to be the best way to plant
it. 1t is claimed that stock will
not tramp the plants as badly
J when soWn this way, as they
: have a tendency to keep between
, the rows. Rape can be used as
a catch crop in many instances
t to advantage. BY disking the
) land after the removal of wheat
or oats and sowing rape, some
t good fall pasture can often be
: secured. Rape can be sown in
: oats about three weeks after the
} oats are up and not interfere
with the growth of the oats Il
any great extent. After the re-
moval of the oats the rape grow:
rapidly and furnishes good pas
ture. The seed are sown broad
cast and covered with a harrow
If care is taken the young oat'
will be injured very little. Rape
may also be sown in corn at las
cultivation and furnish late fal
pasture.
