we'll outgrown the limits of the
present church and they plan on
building a church on the present
site of the old one that will not on

but addition rooms for Sunday
School and other church services
with large basement for their
heating plant and assembly rooms
for the social functions of the

GROWS IN POPULARITY
Avocado Becoming one Of FioTda's
Most Important Fruit
Crops

The avocado is fast becoming
one of the most important fruit
crops of Florida. In the past
three years several hundred acres
have been planted and shipments
are heavier each year. 1t is be-
lieved that the avocado is the king
of fruits for the dyspeptic and
that the weakest stomach will as.
similate this fruit and at the same
time act as tonic to the whole
system.
In tropical climates, during the
entire season the fruit is used
daily at each meal.
In speaking of the proper name
for this superior fruit q Florida
grower says: The government
pathologist insists that the proper
name of the alligator pear is
Avocado" This is a corruption
from the Mexican aguacatl, Span
ish aguacate, French auguacate,
German AVOCADO. In Spanish
aqua means water and cate
Means "pear", hence, while it may
be proper to say ALLIGATOR pear"
it would be incorrect to say ''avo-
cado pear" for we would then be
saying ''water pear" 1t is per-
haps because of the difficulty of
arriving at which name is prefer
able in mentioning this fruit that
the pathologists have found it
hard to change the common allus-
ion from ALLIGATOR pear'' to ''avo-
cado.''
The shipping season is now at
its flush and it is estimated that
the movement this season will be
three times greater than any pre-
vions year. The largest budded
avocado grove probably in the
world, at Miami, and owned by S.
S, Bliss, north of Miami. MI.
Collins, of New Jersey, also has
large bndded grove. There are
groves of budded fruit on the
East Coast and more are being
planted each year.
The fruit is now selling at 75c
to 81 per dozen, shipping point.

Sarasota Sun: Patronize home
industry is a fine slogan, and the
local merchants should encourage
it in every way. They are the
first to feel the effects Of outside
competition and are always glad
to have the editor lambaste the ped
Ter. They are frequently the
greatest sinners themselves at the
same time. This week a travelling
painter struck town. He said he
was a painter. He was the worst
dub of a jaubre we ever did see.
One of our local firms whom the
day before told local painter
they did not need a sign on their
window, took him on at once and
the mess he made of their front
window with colors that cry to
heaven serves them right. Virtue
has its own reward.

GREEN FRUIT SHIPMENTS
viii DemoraIize Markeis--Exchange
Work is Showing
Results

| Reports from the New York
district manager of the Florids
| Citrus exchange tend to show
tkat ''jokers" and legal phrases,
incorporated in the States green
fruit shipping law, to make it in
operative, are having no effect,
that although the law is practic
ally no law, the citrus growers who
1.believe in holding fruit until it is
ripe are being protected in a man
liner that would be a credit to an
iron clad measure.
Several shipments of grapefruit
went forward to the eastern mar
kets u short time ago, and reports
that $13 a box was received caused
a rush of colored fruit to the
front. Only two boxes brought
the fabulous price, all fruit going
forward since that time averaging
only $3. 40 a box.
District Manager Holland, in
New York, has written Il. d.
Jones, business manager Of the
Florida Citrus Exchange, that
lit is waste of time and money
to send green fruit because buyers
will not have anything to\do with
it. ssThc so-called jokers do not
get very far" he writes, 1T is
necessary to give the fellow who
puts up his money for anything,
these days, square deal, and the
biggest Ounce of the present gem
Grafton is the fellow who thinks
he can get by otherwise. =
In the opinion Of local Citrus
men, the good work done by the
exchange, in holding all fruit un-
til perfectly ripe, has practically
killed the early fruit shipments.
The exchange officials will not risk
the good reputation made by the
organization for handling only the
best, and in the three years that
members have stuck together in
an effort to place Florida citrus
fruits on higher plane, outside
fruit buyers have been educated
to such an extent that they refuse
to handle unripe goods. M fruit
has been shipped this se..son.
"We will need no green fruit
law another year," said local
citrus man the other night. "We
have the green fruit shippers now,
where we want them, and it will
be only a short time when they
will have to ship according to the
rules of the Exchange, whether |
they are members or not. Tampa

| The quality of water nsed in the
steam boiler is of interest to the
engineer because upon it the prof
liable production Of steam in large
measure depends. The. life of the
boiler also is in no small degree
determined by the care taken to
supply it with proper feed water.
With noncorrosive water which
does not form hard scale station
ary boiler may last 80 to 35 years,
buta corrosive water may make
it useless in years.
Many waters, especially spring
waters, that are comparatively
free from mineral matter in salu-
tion are known to be strongly COR
lrossive when used in steam boilers.
Free acids, such as hydrocloric,
Isulphuric, and nitric, are very
corrosive, attacking iron easily,
and waters containing them must
therefore be neutralized before
they can safely be used for steam
making. Water showing no Sign
of acdity before it enters the boil
er sometimes develops corrosive
properties when it is heated.
Water containing magnesium
chloride in solution, for instance,
may be neutral under ordinary
conditions, but at high .tempera-
lures and under increased pressure
Of the boiler hydrolysis occurs,
forming free hydrochloric acid,
which vigorously attacks the boil

from calcic carbonate Is loose and
can be removed by blowing off.
Calcic sulphate waters. on the
other hand, form u hard tenacious
scale, the removal of which is
sometimes very difficult. Hard
scale conducts heat poorly. A
waste Of Is to 30 per cent. OF fuel
has been known to be caused by
hard scale only7 to 5 millimeters
thick. Boilers thus everheated
are liable to blister and to crack,
and many serious explosions have
resulted from overheating SCALE
lined boilers. 4
Though thick, hard scale is
detrimental to a boiler, a thin
coating Of scale is often distinctly
ely advantageous. This is especi-
ally noticeable where corrosive
waters are used for making steam.
Rain water and even melted snow
cause pitting OF the plates and
more or less general corrosion.
As protection against the raw

Many specifies for preventing
and removing boiler scale are on

arguments in presenting the mer-
its of their wares. Care should
be exercised, however, not to use

In Truth and in Fiction

A manufactures writes and puts
this rather trite question:"If Flor
ida is such wonderful vegetable
section, why do you not have can
ming establishments instead OF
sending for Baltimore canned
goodsso
It's hard to make an up-couDtry
truck grower understand that the
Florida grower is SO taken up
with big profits in northern ship
ments of vegetables that he will
not bother about marketing the
surplus, or even the whole crop If
it does not happen to hit the mar
ket right.
Two years ago man Travelled
through the country begging
truckers to arrange some plan
whereby he could handle cucum-
ber pickles in large quantities..
sBut," said the growers, "why
should we cut the cucumbers at
pickle size and sell st wholesale
{. prices per ton when we can get a
fancy crate price by letting them
grow to cuke size2"
That is but one instance of the
kind although we frequently sec
printed articles urging the estab-
lishment of canneries.
Another instance will serve TO
answer the question. Some years
ago st. Mary's starch factory
tried to get the farmers to plant
cassava, guaranteeing to take the
crop at a certain price per ton.
Now, cassava is the easiest rais-
ed crop of anything grown in
Florid.. 1t is planted in small
pieces in the drill and multiplies
so greatly and the roots grow to
such prodigious size that it would
have been more profitable to grow
for that factory than potatoes are
in the north.
But would the farmers grow it,
although the market was assureds
No, the price was not fancy O.
nough. We could multiply in
stances, but this is sufficient for
our purpose.
The fact is, the grower in Flori-
da becomes obsessed with the idea
that he must make a fortune out
OF the ground in short order or
he will not turn plowshare.
II il all because of the inflated
s'get rick quick" notions pnt into
the heads Of intending settlers in
Florida.
"Come to Florida and live like
a king" is one of the flaming
head lines of an advertisements
published in the magazines.
Now, there are kings and kings, |
and to be sure, no one is no more
a king than one who stands ON his |

grow, but the kingIy idea conve " |
