change which the entrance into

necessitate.
Germany still claims she is max
ing slow progress toward Warsaw.
There have been published in Lon
don, however, reports that those
operations are merely masking
movements to shield a Ger
man retreat to the 81

observers do not credit this idea,
believing General Won linden
burg has further offensive streng-
tn, but at the same time they
draw attention to the fact that the
Russians must feel confident of
Warsaw safety, else they would
not continue to hurl so many
troops against Hungary through
Bukowina.

Red Barns in Florida

Many new barns are being built
in the rural districts of Florida.
Building material dealers in all
sections Of the State report an un-
precedented demand for barn lum-
Der and red paint. Next to the
home the barn is the most impor-
tant building on the farm, and
wherever red barns exist there
frugality and prosperity abides
supreme.
The rapid construction of new
barns in Florida is lifting the
farming industry Of this state into
a higher zone of utility and is es-
tablishing a new era in our indus
trial progress. No community
can proceed far into its agricul-
tural economy until its stock are
well sheltered and its crops are
properly housed.

WITH THE TILLERs OF THE SOIL
BY Mrs. X. S. Lawson

dali place was in town the day af-
ter the storm for bean hampers
and the farm intended shipping
about fifty hampers. The drain
was said to have helped this farm
quite a bit, although no special
work ON laterals had been accom-
pliShed. This farm has shipped
well over two hundred hampers so
far this season.
Out Solana way there were a
number Of truck fields that show
ed up nicely after the tempest.
AT B. Il. Perkins half an acre of
eggplants looked finely enough to
please their grower. AT d.
Hills the two acres Of eggplants,
peppers and tomatoes were in
pretty shape as the drainage prov
ed very satisfactory. Shaw s
peppers were in good form and at
Mr.. Oswald s the tomatoes were
uninjured. Patrick had some
stuff which showed its location
well chosen. Other growers had
various kinds Of stuff that will
come into market in due season.
beans probably Jared as poorly as
any other crop as the winds ripp-
ed the bloom off and knocked ov-
er plants.
Out in the Pineapple river sec
tion along the banks where drain
age was arranged for some fields
looked very hopeful. Up at the
Dewey grove where A. G. Caldwell
had two acres Of beans and water
melons in the fields looked very
nicely and Caldwell who is one of
the old truckers who have come in
from up state was mighty well
pleased. Mr.. Caldwell's s father
is expected soon and when both
have finished planting there will
be seven or eight acres Of water
melons IN Jh2fC.
At j. Harvey Miller's the onion
patch in the old pond was out of
sight when the heavy showers
concluded operations. But on
the following morning every bed
was high out of water and the
patch was sight to smile upon.
The acre of eggplants also looked
mighty fine, the acre of peppers
gave every sign of surviving in
good style and altogether Mr..
Miller had about the prettiest
farm anywhere around Punta Cor
da on the morning after the tenn
pest.

Brief Bits

Martin Jackson of Tampa, staff
correspondent of the New York
Packer, was in town last week and
met many of the truckers. At
the time of his visit, Mr.. jackson
said the Punta Gorda men ought
to be pretty well pleased with
conditions here and as he was
speaking after visiting a number
of other trucking sections his o.
pinion was that of well informed
individual. Mr.. Jackson expects
to return in a couple of weeks and
make a visit to some of the fields.
G. Tenet, representing a New
York commission firm, was in
town this week after a trip down
the coast and expressed surprise
that the trucking situation around
Punta Gorda was so good after the
storm. He had been in some fa-
nous trucking sections within a
few days which had suffered hea-
Wy damages and said Punta Gorda
men who had anything to ship
from now on ought to get fair
money.
One bean grower below Acline,
who has been little heard of, is re-
ported to have received three hun
dred dollars for his bean crop.
Fine wax beans were picked
this week at the Cooper farm and
about fifty crates were shipped.
This farm proved fortunate in
several ways. The fertilizer for
the big tomato paintings was only
partly distributed so that COM
paratively a small amount will be
lost.
