1t was May-sweet day, all blue and
gold.
That dimmed to moon-drenched
tints of silver gray.
The little winds that walked the
dappled roads
Breathed sweet through blossomed
lilac boughs a-sway;
The firefies starred the open meaoe
grass; ,
And meath the pin-arched
branches overhead
Our roadway loitered, dim and shad-
ow-cool.
So hard we strove to keep each sun
ny hour,
Each warbler's note, each thicket-
futing thrush,
The sunset light against the beech
land hills.
The first dim silence, first gray
evening hush;
But even while-with glowing hoof'
beats, stilled,
And laggard reins-we hoped tc
hold it fast,
On mist-white feet that skinned the
silvered road
Our day had smiled it's greeting
and was past.
Oh, many days have sought the sell
same road
| Amid the spring, starred dusk, al
even I.
The fireflies swing their lanterns OF
the swale;
The lilac breezes scent a moonli'
sky.
But never, down the summer-show
Tered way,
Amid the pine-dark hill or moon
white plain
Its eyes with gypsy witchery alight-
| Shall pass our little, long-lost da!
again.

Baltimore is celebrating this
week the one hundredth anniver-
sary Of the writing of the "Star
Spangled Banner. Research has
lifted all doubt as to the origin of
this national hymn, the fortunate
coming of the patriotic outburst Of
Francis Scott Key, in the war Of
1912, with an air that had come
across the sea, and from the pre-
vious century, though to no general
use until it was found in 1914 to
fit the words of Keys poem, which
were on everybody's lips. There will
be a national celebration, although
Baltimore has the highest claim to
local association with the author
and his song.

KNOW LITTLE OF OR
ANGES.

Sine persons know very lit
tic about orange growing In
Florida remarked Moses Fol-
som, secretary OF the Palatka
Board OF Trade, to a reporter
for a washington paper. 1T is
not icr mans game, as has
been asserted. In the last sea-
son the orange region OF Flor
ida shipped North $4,000 cars OF
citrus fruits, besides many
thousands OF boxes by steamer.
The new trees ready to enter
into commercial bearing the
coming season give promise OF
increasing shipments to a total
OF 10000 cars. Thousands OF
men are now engaged in the
business and maany more are
planning to go into it. The in
dustry has the encouragement
and help of the, scientists OF
government experiment sta
tons, and there aare few of them
in the State.
The orange tree is a hardy
one, and very responsive to in
telligent care. There is nc
more risk in raising oranges in
Florida than there is in raising
corn in Iowa, tobacco in Ken.
trcky, potatoes in Maine, buck.
wheat in Pennsylvania, or pea
nuts in Virginia. The Flosids
orange is the best of all citru:
fruits grown in continental
America. Our State has thu
orange climate, just as thu

LINING SOILS.

This topic does not appear to
have received the attention IN
this community that it deserves.
The following extracts from an
address by r. E. Skinner before
the State Horticultural Society
are worthy of careful considera-
ton.
Practical evidence of the ben
eft of lime is well brought out
by a letter | received last month
from a prominent grower in the
state, part of which reads as
follows:
| "You asked me to let you
know what experience | had
haad with the use of lime and
ashes on our orange groves, as
we'll as results obtained. We
have been using hardwood ash
es for a numbex of years with
very beneficial results. We
have applied anywhere from l.,
90 pounds to ton per acre, and
have thought that where we
used little application OF hard
wood ashes is assisted in the
early maturing of the fruit
Some three years ago, through
the mistake of our superinten-
dent, he applied nearly forty
tons of wood ashes on less than
: six acres of grapefruit trees.
: These trees for a number OF
: years had been neglected before
the property came into our po-
session, and when we got con-
troll of it we attempted to force
the trees forward with ammon-
lated fertilizers, and in the
course of three or four years we
: found that the roots were in q
: diseased condition, the feeding
: roots were sloughing off and
! turning black. This applica'
S ton of practically seven ton:
i per acre carrected this rob-
e trouble within one season, pu'
S the trees in a healthy condition
e and they produced one OF tn
e finest crops of grapefruit WI
|have ever seen, SO far as the tex
tur of the skin is concerned
The writer pointed out thi
block of trees to you when you
: visited the grove few day
ago, and you can Judge 10
yourself as to whether or no
Il there is any evidence in the ap
It !pearance OF the trees as to al
e ioverdose of lime ashes"
Let me assure you this blocl
! OF trees was as fine as any maj
Il |could ask for. The soil wa

i needed was the forty per cen

ashes contained.

Went After False Gods.

Had some master mind in 1906. or
better yet, in 1900, been able TO see as
far ahead as we can see now" says F..
Nelson Carle. what n priceless impetus
he might have given the electric truck
industry AS 1t was, even with an ap-
proved fundamental design arrived at.
the INDUSTRY made the mistake of
reaching out for what we will call spe-
cial business as contrasted with sta
pie business. Instead of producing in
quantities chassis which the dry goods
merchant. the grocer, the express com
pany, the brewer. etc. could use and
would use in large numbers, some man
ufacturers allowed themselves to je di-
verted from the remunsratiTe quantity
business and went after false gods in
the shape of some of the special appli-
cations. to which l will later refer.
Generally speaking. the twelve prin-
cipal fields for the commercial electric
are as follows Dry goods. grocery.
express and transfer, brewing and bot
Ting, packing and provision, general
manufacturing. textile, public utility,
professional haulage, internal truck
ing GndustraD, coal and ice and mu-
nicipal.
These are not necessarily placed in
the order of their Importance to the in
dustry and many subdivisions might be
added. such as bakers. laundries and
others in the specialized retail field.

and future demand fields for the light

fire apparatus and the trackless troll
ley were among the apparatus devel-
oped, to be shortly followed by the
electric mule" lumber tractor). the
cotton tractor. street cleaning tractor,
etc.
THE changes in design and new
methods of construction as these re-
late to the battery or driving mechan-
ism are always interesting. but these
features belong more properly to the
engineer. The successful adaptation OF
various types of electrics to new lines
of work without altering in essentials
the basic design as standardized in sew
eral cases seven years ago is deserv-
ing of emphasis. 4 special electric

any operating condition and were We

type CRANES and aXles very iow} with
batteries slung pack saddle fashion or
otherwise distributed about the frame
or body we would have something
which would promote a lot of discus
sion and publicity, but it is of much
greater moment to the industry if we
can use a standard chassis and by
wise engineering produce in body OF
mechanical equipment something which
will do the work right and at a saw
inc over former methods

before specialization, but there are
many things we cannot control in the
motor truck business. 1 hope some
savant will, in discussing this paper,
tell us how we can sell our standard
product after it is produced in quanti-
ties, in view of the 1.001 engineering &
preferences of those who make out the
requisition.
The wheel was one of mans greatest
contributions to world progress. In
America the road wagon followed the
cart, and then came the carriage and
automobile. The motor truck, as the
horseless successor of the early goods
wagon, has passed from an idea to an
accepted necessity so quickly that 1t
is difficult to keep pace with its de-
velopment.
Il still claim that as manufacturers
we have made a mistake in not con-
centrating upon standard vehicles for
the principal trades, and leaving the
special to follow quantity production
or the standard types, but we must in

Temperatures Overcome.

"The problem of extremes in tenn
perature is something which has been
overcome to a gratifying extent. In
the Philippines the effects of intense
heat on motor and battery have been
successfully overcome, and this is true
also of electrics in Japan. the West
Indies, Brazil, etc. We have found
way to outwit Jack Frost in Canada
and parts of the middle west. and cleo
tries are being successfully operated in
below zero temperatures which abso-
lutely tie up gasoline trucks. By care
full studies of the effect of grades
upon motor and battery we have been
able to largely conquer Seattle, Kan
sas City. Pittsburgh and similar cities.
1t is only recently that the electric
truck has had unqualified success in
some hilly cities. but given free hand
in equipping the truck we no longer
fear grades involving normal mileages.
The same is true of routes involving
sand. We may not accept the order if
the costs of existing methods of haul
ing are around a certain maximum, but
we know how to put the electric
