Canning Factory
Has Al Product


CROwLEY-In the opinion OF ".
r. Newton. manager Of the Fowler
canning factory, nner tomatoes can be
raised on the north side Of the river
than can be grown on the south side.
At least Mr.. Newton stated while
making visit TO the Crowley can
ming plant that they were receiving .
far better tomato than was being
turned in to the factories at Fowler,
Msnzanols and Rocky Ford.
The Crowley plant turned out 1000
cans Of its product Monday. and the
run during this week and last week
was at full capacity of the factory.
The receipts OF tomatoes from the
fields to the factory last Saturday
amounted TO "a TONS. This is being
raised on between IS and 80 acres
OF land, as the original acreage was
not put in last spring. The product
a. turned out by the new factory Is
said by those who have examined 1t.
AL, aud while it Is all contracted the
deliveries are not being made IA fast
as 1t IL being turned out because of
the lack Of labor to label the cans.
There are about 10000 cans 10 the
wsrerooms now which will be ship
ped as soon as they can be labeled and
Grated.

G. T. More, representative OF the
U. $. Department Of Agriculture is
in the county Investigating crop and
shipping conditions. Mr.. More states
that to get the market for products
grown, no matter what IL may be.
the quality and pack Of the fruit must
be good to perfect.
Mr.. More cites q condition In the
eastern peach district which he visit
ed about two weeks ago. He stated
that the markets were glutted with
peaches. but that those who put up
choice stun in nrst class packs found
ready market above the price for
all they could gather. This class OF
peaches was bought and paid for F.

gests that more caro- should be taken
with cantaloupes here. He was sur
prised that the wagons which hauled
the product TO the shipping stations
did not have springs on them and but
few loads brought in were covered.
He says the hot, sun boiling down on a
load OF melons - they are hauled

the grade. In other words he says
that IL growers are to receive top

growers who made unusual selection

THE r turns indicate that every county on which we relied for a majority has responded to every expectation, and some counties which we did not claim appear to have fallen in line.
 The city of Little Rock gave us better than a three-to-one victory. We carried every ward in the city, and at this hour it appears that every pre- cinct in the county has registered a majority for the publicity bill. There is no doubt that final returns from all the precincts will show better than two-toone victory. The voters of Pulaski county have overwhelm- ingly repudiated ring politics and de- clared for publicity in public af- fairs.

DISTINGUISHED
EDUCATOR SAYS
There are Four Lines of Ru-
raj Proqress for 1914.

President Kenyon L. Butterfield of
the Massachusetts Agricultural Col
lege, is spending a few weeks with
his father-in-law, M. V. Millard Of
Interlachen.
But vacation seems to be busy
time for him, as he has written to
the Secretary of the Palatka board Of
trade asking for stenographer to
help him expedite his work. Presi-
dent Butterfeld promises the board,
that if he can spare the time he will
be glad to visit Palatka and accept
the request of the board of trade to
lecture.
President Butterfeld ranks high as
an educator, writer and speaker, and
should he visit Palatka the News can
guarantee an address worth hearing.
From an article reviewing the needs
of the times in the January number
of the New York Survey, we quote
the following in which he suggests
measures worthy of consideration:
First, organize local community
campaigns in as many neighborhoods
as possible. Seek the formation of a
community council or federation,
made up of representatives of all the
organizations in the neighborhood
that have any interest in the common
good-church, grange, women's club,
farmers club, civil association, etc.
But do not make the mistake of
coming together merely for the pleas
ure of it. Seek to discover the needs
of the neighborhood that perchance
may be met by the organized forces
of the neighborhood itself. Endeavor
to make an intelligent plan of opera
tions for improving the community in
all needful respects.
Second, seek to develop the collec-
tive cooperative method of doing the
business of the farm. Farmers can
save money by cooperative buying of
supplies needed on the farm. 1t is
possible that they can make larger
profit by selling their products in the
same cooperative manner The CO.
operative plan is spreading. 1t
should not be entered upon hastily,
but it promises to render more help
to the farmers than does perhaps any
other one thing.
Third, push the idea of an agricul-
tural high school or, OF an agrlcultuf-
al department i'll the public school.
Farming demands educated men and
women. The agricultural colleges,
neither in the classroom nor in their
extension service, can meet the full
need Every boy or girl desiring the
equivalent of a good high school edu-
cation in and for agriculture should
have the opportunity of acquiring
that training.
Above all perhaps, try to stir relig-
ious forces to new effort in the rural
field. The country church faces a crisis.
Rural advance is leaving the church
behind. But the rural movement must
not become materialistic. 1t can cas-
lily be spirituaIized. 1t needs the lead
ership of that institution that stands
supremely for the great ideals OF
. love and brotherhood and service. The
: rural Sunday School, the rural Y. nj
, C. A. and Y. W. c. A. should be en-
couraged and strengthened every
y, where. We need their point of view
and above all we need their ideals OF
character building and community
building.

FLAMES DESTROY
LUCAS BOAT HOUSE
And Palatka Escapes Awful
Disaster by Prompt and
lnteIiiqent Action

Nothing but intelligent action and
prompt response to the fire alarm
afternoon shortly after 2
o'clock, on the part of the fire de-
partment, saved this city from d dis
aster which can scarcely be estimated.
THE fire started in the Lucas boat
house on River street next to the Ath
letic Club. how it caught is still a
mystery, but the flames were break
ing from the house fercely when the
fire was discovered an the alarm
turned in. There were several fine
launches in the house and at least
two of these were set adrift, burn
ing.
The attention of the department
and volunteers was given first to saw
in the Athletic club, as all hope Of
saving the Lucas establishment was
an impossible suggestion. Several
times the Club building caught, but
each time was the flame subdued. The
beat house burned to the waters
edge.
The launches released from the
boat house, despite efforts to prevent,
hoated inshore and in the direction
of the Phillips boat house,
which was also set afire and destroy
ed. These boats then foated to the
Wilson Boat Club house and set fire
to the runway leading from the street
to the house proper. This fire was
put out by prompt action of the de-
partment, and then attention was
given to the burning Vertrees-Phil-
lips landing.
During the fercest part of the
burning, with a stiff gale blowing
from the northeast, fears were enter
aimed that unless the fire was gotten
speedily under control the flames
would be communicated to the Wilson
mill and to residences on the west
side of the street. But the brave and
magnificent work of the tiremen
averted this disaster.
Among the launches burned were
those of Robert James, Cornelius
Carman, E. T. Bogart, Tom Squires
and Messrs. Boyle and Trombley. The
James launch was a specially val ua
Die one, and all were fine. An i'm
nense crowd IVES attracted to the
ire and for a time with great vol
lmes of smoke and flame rolling to
he southwest fears were entertained
that Palatka would suffer a disaster
second only to the great fire of 1884
But Providence and an intelligent
Iuick acting fire department was or
our side.
