MOTHERS CLUB MEETING

The completion of the handsome
school building, with it's fine equip
ment was cause for general congrat-
ulation among our citizens, but the
school itself is but small part of
the things of which we are justly
est in the history of the town, a
greater number of pupils registered
for the high school work than ever
before, the corps of Instructors is
second to none in the state and we
count ourselves fortunate to have
secured Professor Cassels as princi-
pal.
"A step forward which will doIot-
less result in great good is the or
ganization of Mothers Club, which
meets every fortnight in the audi
borium of the school building to dis
cuss the practical needs of the child
ren. At these meetings some spec
ialist is engaged ito give short point-
ed talks upon various up-to-date
topics. The school has medical in
spection and from this time on viii
employ a school nurse to work in
connection with the Inspector. This
lis made possible by the affihation
with the training school of Marion
County Hospital from which the
nurses are to be secured. Tt lis a
splendid thing to see our two great
public institutions thus working
hand in hand for the betterment of
the town.
Among the newest projects in the
larger cities is supplying hot lunch
els at midday for the children. This
too, lis to be inausyurated In Ocala by
Mrs. Mary Elliot, whose home Is just
across THE campus from the school
building. Mrs E.lliot il in every
way Capable of doing this important
work. She has nlade a special study
oil food values, and will supply che
children with Wholesome, nourish-
ing, dainty edbble,s ait a nominal
price. Her lunch counter will be
OPENED tomorrow This will !bo Q
boon ito busy mothers, 90 whom the
lunch hour of the morning is bug
bear.
The Star is Trautl of all this FRO
gress and wishes for every depart
nrent of the school continued sue

OUR MERCHANTS AND THE FAIR

1t is a matter of disappointment
to us that the business men of Ocala
as class. do not show greater in
terest in our fair. In the older
states, both north and south, where
ever a small county fair is held the
one thing that iimpresses the stran-
ger is the number of local concerns
that have on display the best that
their houses contain. Probably one
half OF the progressive people OF Ma
rion county attend the fair annually
This year large proportion of the
best people of Sumter will ibe here.
These citizens represent the ma ior
portion OF those who spend their
money for what the merchants have
to sell. The opportunity of meet
ing your customers face to face, of
becoming better acquainted, of adj
Tertising your goods and soliciting
trade from new sources is offered
you and you neglect this chance of
promoting your business Interests.
Hundreds of dollars are expended an
nuaIly 10y the merchants of Ocala in
advertising schemes and devices
that do not and cannot bring, the re-
turns that a good. display during the
four days of the fair will surely
come to every one who will act upon
this suggestion. Besides you are
ihelning support an Institution main
tanned for the sole purpose of i'm
proving the condition of those who
patronize the home Institutions.

The Ocala Star, talking editorial1y
about the recent bond election held in
that city, mentions the fact that the
Tdmes-Union did not give OcalfL all
that was due. The fault, however,
was not OF intention, but merely a
matter of time. When the paragraph
commenting the action of citizens for
voting to establish a modern sys-
tenn of sewerage, was written, the
election on the matter of improving
the electric light plant had not TAX
en- place. The people of Oca1a. be-
ing greatly in favor of having the
light turned on that people may see
their good works, gave a handsome

DASHEEN IN MARION
BEING INVESTIGATED

Mr.. R. "a. Young, OF the lDureau of
plant industry at Washington, ID. c.,
spent today in and around Ocala, in
vestigating the progress made here
with the growth OF dasheen, coming
here especially for that purpose. So
far as we know, the only experiment
made here has been that by Hlev w.
J. Crago, two miles out on the An
thony road. From a half dozen tub
ers last year MIR. Crago has quite a
large patch and Ii is docking fine and
yielding heavily The department IL
anxious to have demonstration OF
d'asheen at the county fair this
IN onth, and 1t will probably be ar
ranged. Mr.. Young had photographs
of the big patch OF dasheten at
Brooksvi1le, planted on fairly rich
hammock land. The plants are, from
-four to six feet high and the yield
was. at the last gathering, SIC the
rate OF 29 o bushels. OF tllbers 10 the
acre He said that the record that
the department had made wal; % b
bushels from half an acre The
dasheen tulber looks like a huge ar
tichoke, rather than a potato, Ii
shaped like very short, thick egg,
is rough and corrugated, and when
boiled or baked has a taste some
thing between an Irish potato and q
chestnut, and is very fine food,
The possibilities of dasheen culture
in Marion county are very great.

ERRORS IN MANAGING SOILS


TO be careless ii the treatment of
the son is az fatal to profitable agri-
culture as to be Indifferent In the care
Of live stock upon the farm, writes A..
r. Whitson, chief Of the State Labora-
tory, established by the last legisla-
ture to aid Wisconsin farmers.
We seem content to stop with the
knowledge that there Is something de-
cidedly wrong with our fields. We
know that at one time they yielded
much better crops, but we willingly
rest with the conclusion that they are
wearing out" Large areas OF soils
even In this state are acid, and, as 4
consequence will not yield as plenti,
fully as they should. We have to de-
termine by means Of a very simple test
whether or not our fields are acid, and
II SO, apply known and dependable
remedy.
When farmer finds that he cannot
get good stand Of thrifty clover on
his land, when he sees that certain
weeds, such as corn spurry and sheep
sorrel, grow readily In his fields, he
could, by obtaining small quantity OF
blue litmus paper at his drug store,
easily test his own soil to find II it is
acid. Soil acidity is responsible, In
many instances, for the failure OF seed
ing Of alfalfa and clover.
Growing In soils well supplied with
lime these plants are able to obtain the
nitrogen essential for their growth
through the work of certain kinds OF
bacteria or germs which penetrate the
smaller roots, forming Jumps or swell
ings, called nodules. Each of these
nodules is tiny chemical laboratory,
in which nitrogen gas is built up into
compounds for use by the plant.
