WHY NOT FLORIDA


Editor Star: What the scientist
does for the. farmer is shown in
some work of the agricultural de-
partment in the fruit growing dist
ricts OF California. Aside from fur
nishing remedies for diseases of the
trees they have shown the fruit
growers a new line OF profit. From
the time that lemons and oranges
were first grown there, and as in
Florida now, the culls were left on
the trees until they droppel OF. They
were then gathered by the ton and
thrown in dump, AMI When they
fully rottad were used for manure.
The scientists first proved that that
way OF disposing OF them was one Of
the chief causes OF the spread Of scale
and numerous other pests. The
growers were informed that these
culls were very valuable as raw ma
terial for the production OF acid, and
they began to ship them east TO large
manufacturing concern engaged in
that business.
now that their returns from the
cuils are nearly equal to the price
they received for their second best
fruit, and that the culls alone would
almost pay for the upkeep of the
grove, leaving all other fruit as a net
profit.
The scientists then pointed out
that factories could be erected at a
small outlay of capital for manufac-
turing acids in California instead of
shipping the culls all the way 20 the
on foot TO build factories. when the
railroads heard of il and they i'm
meiiately made arrangements to
greatly lower the rate on culls The
result OF it all is that the fruit grow
ers Will make more money. and in
the end the people will get oranges,
lemons and candied fruits in which
these acids are used cheaper
Without the aid OF the farm
demonstrator who had know
Iedege Of chemistry and biology this
thing could never have been done
The California fruit farmer did not
think that he knew it all, and so he
welcomed the farm demonstrator.
Very sincerely,
David H. Kirkland

SENATOR EXPLAINS
RURAL SYSTEM
Doesn't Think that the Measure
Would Favor Bad Finance or En-
courage Borrowers to Remain in
Debt

Washington, Feb. 17.-With Sen
ator Fletcher. of Florida. appearing
in support of the measure, the joint
congressional committee on rural
credits began hearings yesterday.
Senator Fletcher was chairman OF
the special committee that investi-
gated foreign methods OF lending f.
nanciaI aid to farmers, before the
present bill was drafted.
Senator Fletcher said long term
credit, based on land mortgages, was
the vital feature OF any scheme,
Short term accommodations based on
personal obligations and needed for
~ecurrent expenses should be sep
ara5ely provided for, he thought.
Only the long term credit is covere
in the bill.
The committee discussed sugges-
tions of government aid for proposed
farmers banks, Senator Fletcher de-
cIaring he did not believe it neces-
sary.
Compulsory amortization, a fea-
ture of the bill, aroused some discus
sion, it being explained that the COM
missions attitude was that borrow
ers should not be encouraged TO re-
main in debt.

.sT0P THIEF.

Kleptomania Is the theme o1 Carlyle Moore's farce "Stop Thief, one of the big shows Cohan & Harris are offering their patrons this season.
 A kleptomniac is defined Dy Webster as "a wealthy person of ex' traordinary absent minded tendenc- ies and morbid impulses" Int mania usually demonstrates it pres. ence by the victim of being discover ed in making a collection of vaidAble articles that do not belong to him. When a poor man is caught doing the same thing he is looked upon as an ordinary thief.
 There are two kleptomaniacs and real crook in "Stop Thief. One of them in a millionaire, the other his prospective son-in-law. The bride-to-be is aware of her fathers predilection of stealing, but IS sgnor- and of the fact that her future hus- band is so afflicted. Into this house hold a real thie. is smuggled by a new maid, and the plot thus tangled in 1fe last Act calls for the appear lance of battalion of policemen and the thrills begin. One valuable after another disappears in the most fnys- terious manner, and in the search for the culprit many funny situations are evolved.
 This funny farce played a years engagement at the Gaiety theatre New York and was declared to be the one biggest success on the Amer ican stage, and will be presented at the Elks theatre, January 13, for one night only.

ZINE FEATHERS

In Golfers Weekly of December 12. 1912. there appears an editorial comment concerning Fine Feathers the newest drama by Eugene Walter which H. H. Frazee will present here for the first time at the Elks theatre, January g, in which Eugene Walters latest play is mentioned as a worthy successor to his previous works.
 "Mr. Eugene Walters Fine Feathers" says the Collier article, has been playing in Chicago with great success since early August, A(1912). The fine feathers in this case are the pretty things which an unconsciously selfish wife de- mands, and for which her devoted young husband sells his soul and eventually wrecks his happiness and hers. This characteristic American theme, with people taken, as he took them before, from the seat opposite in the Il" train or the flat overhead Mr. Walter. carries out to it's con- clusion with the same force and acrid thoroughness which he showed in Paid in Full and The Easiest Way"

The Pine Bluff Company, all told, and after the examination of these is completed, the City will place three witnesses on the stand.
 That there has not been a crowd of spectators on hand is due largely to the fact that the testimony is tech nical in nature and only those intimately conversa1t with the case could keep track of it.
