OCALA, FLORIDA, TUESDAY, JUNE "a, 1913

big profits-is the highest manifesto
ton sof the horticultural are. One
man who has devoted his life to it
says:
Every one who is willing to pay
the price, either in labor or dollars,
can grow oranges and grapefruit,
but only he who is so constituted as
to derive pleasure in exercising his
mental faculties TO the fullest extent
can produce fruit of the finest quail
ity. Good judgment. with previous
knowledge, must be exercised in the
choice of the stock, the bud, the soil
and the location of the orchard; in
the cultivation and fertilization of the
crops in the treatment of the fung
Gus and insect diseases, in picking
and packing and selecting a market
for its disposal"
The perfection of growing condi<
tions is to be found in Florida
along the Iudian River and below,
throughout the lake region and along
the southwest coast where the wide
waters of the gulf temper the winter
winds from the northwest. In these
localities, according to my belief, it
will cost from $500 to $1,000 an acre
properly to care for and bring cit
rus grove into full bearing; the diff
ference depending upon it's location,
the character of the land-usually
hammock or second quality high pine
and the cost of clearing it. The
average output should be about 100
trees. 1t is about 200 now. The net
profit on a box of oranges should be
fifty cents, on grapefruit seventy-five
cents. 1t is less than that now, on
the average.
One of the reasons for this is that
in my opinion, fully third of those
who are growing citrus fruits in Flor
ida look upon it as a pastime or side
line. Then, too, possibly seventy-fye
market in the wrong way-sold on
the trees or on the track 60 specula-
tors and other buyers, or consigned
to other middlemen, all of whom get
a profit that should go to the grower.
But the principal reason why the
Florida orange has not come into it's
own, and how it can be made to do so,
will be given in a succeeding article.

GUARANTEE is NO SAFEGUARD
Another Instance i'm Which the Shy
Manufacturer Keeps Ahead

When you see the words "Guaran-
teed Under Food and Drug Act" on
the label of a package, that is merely
joke. The statement is no assur-
ance that the contents of the pack
age is pure, but simply means that
the manufacturer may be prosecut-
ed if his goods are found to be i'm
pure. Of course, the general effect
of the law is to lessen the proportion
of adulteration in food products,
bat we are still far from knowing
the exact nature of the alleged food
we store away in our midst.-Lake-

of these repairs the wagon is just as
he bought it, and, he writes, "the roads
are pretty Door around here"
And so the stories go. Every day
letters come to Studebaker telling re-
markable stories about the %sturdiness
and long life of wagon sold three de-
cades ago Just who will win the
prize is still a matter of conjecture.
At that present time Mr.. Clark's forty
eight-year-old wagon appears to head
the list. Blu there may be others a
year or so older. The contest is an
open one and Studebaker is giving
much time and attention to sitting out
the contestants and making sure that
the wagons entered are authentic.
In any event, Studebaker can point
with pride to a long list of wagons that
have demonstrated their sterling worth
and their ability to stand up under any
and all circumstances.

Strip off all leaves of the grain and
build a sheaf, placing each head sep
arately. This does not take a great
deal Of time and the result will be a
sheaf that is a work of art. In this,
too, use uniform sized heads, culling
out all small and abnormally large

In clovers and grasses the shelves
must necessarily retain the foliage.
They should, however, be cured in
doors. They will then retain the dark
green color which they should have.
If cured in the sun, they are very apt
to be black or bleached.

PIT sILos IN SOUTH DAKOTA

The South Dakota Regents Of Edu.
cation have authorized $500 with
which to erect several underground or
pit silos in representative parts of the
state of South Dakota. These under
ground silos are to be erected in re-
spect to the amount of rainfall and in
respect to the kind of subsoil.
1T is a well established fact" says
Prof. c. Larsen, that silos are the
cheapest conservers Of feeds for dairy
cattle and young stock. The various
kinds of silos placed on top of the
ground require a considerable outlay
of money. Many farmers, especially
the new settlers in the western part
of the state have not the means with
which to build a silo nor possess the
machinery for filling it. Realizing the
great Importance of silos and silage
to the state Of South Dakota, 1t was
thought that the pit or underground
silo would preserve the silage just ais
well as those erected on the top of
the ground.
pit silos are comparatively cheap.
Nearly all the cost Of building such
silos is represented in the cost Of
common labor. 1t is the intention to
dig the hole or pit about Is feet deep
and make it about Is or 20 feet in
diameter, then plaster the inside with
two coats OF cement.
"The advantages of such a silo are:
% that it is cheap, ca such a silo
will not freeze in the winter, CD such
a silo will not blow down.
THE disadvantages are that: Cd
more labor is required to get the
silage out, GU there is some danger
near the bottom Of the pit. For this
latter reason the experimental silos
have not been dug deeper than 16
feet.
THE money authorized for these
silos Is from federal funds. This Is
the first time that experiments have
been conducted with pit silos. There
are however, a few underground silos
scattered over the semi-arid portions
of the United States"
IL these pit silos are a success, then
every farmer or rancher can have
several Of them as there is no cost rep
resented except labor, and they can be
filled during a good crop 8 Then
during seasons Of short crops this
silage can be fed to the cattle. II
such conditions had prevailed a year
or two ago it would not have been
necessary to ship stock out Of the
western part of the stately the

PREPARE FOR THE FAIR

The following timely article was
written for the Northwest Farmstead
by F. l.. Kennard, a former Brookings
boy, now connected with the Univer
sity of Idaho:
1t is not too early to begin thinking
about and planning that exhibit fol
the local fair. The premium lists
should soon be in the hands of the
farmers, and as soon as they r re
ceived they should be gone over are
fully and the classes best suited to
the individual products checked. These
particular products should demand
greater care and attention from this
time on, so that superior individuals
may be produced from which to select
the exhibition samples.
To those who for some reason never
exhibit, let me urge hat you do SC
this fall. The success of your fair de-
ponds entirely upon the quantity as
we'll as the quality Of the exhibits. A
fair with only a few acknowledged
perfect or nearly perfect specimens
would be a poor one indeed. All can
not produce first prize samples, some
will receive no prize at all, but the
true value of the fair and its con
tests lies in the educational possibili
ties. When an exhibitor fails to Sc.
cure a prrze on some exhibit that he
considered perfect, it is generally be.
cause his ideal Of a specimen vas in
correct. 1t is his privilege to know
from the Judge wherein his exhibition
lacked. If for any reason he Is dis.
satisfied with the decision he owes ii
to the Judge and to himself to ascer'
tain the reason for his failure to Sc
cure the prize. AS a general rule, he
will. In some cases, however, he will
sulk and make unkind remarks about
te Judge, his competitors sample and
the fair in general. In this case he
certainly is not showing any very
great amount of craftsmanship.
Neither is he taking advantage OF the
opportunity to add to his store of
knowledge to return next year with
products hat are up to standard and
will either win or have, at least, better
chance to do so.
It is this spirit which makes for the
good county fair. 1t also makes for
better products not only at the fair,
but on the farms, and it is from this
source that the exhibitor receives a
real cash return rather than the small
premium awarded by the fair associa'
ton.
A word about teh exhibits them
selves. Remember that uniformity is
very important. Do not put large and
small potatoes, ears Of corn, ETC., In
the sample. Select out uniform shap'
ed. size and color specimens. In
threshed grains, carefully clean and
grade before exhibiting. Also be very
careful about mixtures. This is the
day of pure seeds and purity of sam
pies is essential.
Sheaf grains and grasses should be
made to meet the requirements OF the

In noting that the Flandreau cleo
trio light plant would furnish light
service to Egan, Colman and Trent,
the ]Brookings Register comments as
follows: There is a suggestion in
this item for the Brookings municipal
plant, which might furnish light to
Aurora, Bushnell, Volga and other
small towns around here" For the in
formation of the Register, we will
state that Volga has one of the best
electric light plants in the northwest
and n that is large enough to take a
considerable amour of outside bust
ness if necessary, while it is under
stood that the Brookings plant is hard
ly able to take care Of the regular bust
ness of the city. In fact, it has been
rumored that the Brookings council
might have to make arrangements
with Mr.. Olson to furnish Brookings
with current from this city until such
time as they can take the necessary
legal steps for the enlargement of
their electric plant.

DON'T BE A HERMIT

No n envies a hermit. No one will
claim that that is the way to live.
Voluntarily to withdraw ones self
from society is insanity. Human hap.
piness requires human companion
ship. 1t Is hard to be happy alone.
If a man sacrifices happiness by
withdrawing from his fellows he gains
it the more he mingles with them.
They are necessary to him-he to
them.
The happiest family in a community
Is the family that participates in the
affairs Of the community. The hap
piest family is the n that has it's
%neighbors and friends, and whose men,
bers are interested in the welfare Of
the town in which they live.
Unhappy indeed is the family each
member of which is seeking his own
happiness alone, ~begrudging the time
or money that custom, if nothing else,
compels him to bestow on those about
him.
Unhappy the town whose families
are e~nedavoring to find happiness with
in their own four walls, a family that
is not concerned whether the town
grows or dwindles, a family that would
as soon buy abroad as at home, a fam
lily to whom a town is but a. place in
which to eat and sleep.
Don't be a hermit, either as an in
dividual or as a family. Take an inter-
est in those about you in this town.

u stand the character of the program they present. 1t is indeed a most
remarkable combination.
The Company consists of five native African boys, all of different
guages. Mr.. Balmer, the trainer of these boys, or, more correctly speaking,
the teacher, is an Engishman, a member of the Royal Geographical Society
and has travelled widely in South Africa, which is the home of these boys
He says that the boys n not picked out 0 account of any particular apt
ness, IS he aims to show mor particularly what it is possible to accom-
phsh with the ordinary African boy. These boys offer a splendid example
of the possibilities Of the African when properly educated. Bishop j.. c..
HartzeI, Methodist Episcopal Bishop of Africa, says of the boys: ITO see
and hear them is at nc to silence forever a thousand queries winch the
civilized world is asking Is % the possibilities of the native African" Mr..
Balmer is assisted in the car and teaching of the boys by Miss Elsie Clark,
a lady of English parentage, but born and raised in South Africa.
Mr.. Balmer has been before the public with this company for eight
years., during which time the personnel of the company has changed from
time to time as the members of the company grow up. They have travelled
from n end of the United States to the other, as well a in England and
the Continent. They have met with universal cordial reception and have
been recalled time and time again for return dates.
