A late planting season makes

est Importance. The successful
farmer does the principal part OF
his cultivation before the seeds
are put into the ground. With
the soil thoroughly prepared, the
seeds will come up quickly and
the plants will begin growing al
once. Therefore, the important
things are, see that the seeds are
sound and then put them into
well pulverized soil that bias been
deeply plowed.
One Of the best farmers in

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
IN.THE GEM CITY

The following from the Palatka
News viii be of interest to Ocaia peo-
pie:
Palatka has two systems Of domes-
tic water supply.
There is the Boston corporation,
first in the field. and doing business
as the Palatka Water Works.
Then there is the municipal plant
owned by the city and managed by
the city engineer, Mr.. s. c. Stall
ings.
These plants are competitors for
the business of supplying water to
the people Of Palatka. All things
being equal, it would look as If the
people ought to patronize the muni-
cipal plant, but
1t was charged at the beginning OF
the municipal company's operations
that its water was hard. For domes-
tic purposes. soft water is prefera-
bic.
The supply Of the old company Is
undeniably soft. This gave the old
company some advantage
Then year or more ago the muni-
cipal plant installed a softening and
aerating plant. Since then the .busi-
ness of the municipal company has
grown by leaps and bounds There
is no question as to the purity of the
supply; neither can there be ques-
ton as TO the absolute healthfulness
Of this modern softening process.
There had been some complaints
however, regarding the purity of the
old water works supply These re-
ports coming to the officials, they de-
manded an investigation That in
vestigation was made. It was made
under the direction of the city en-
gneer.
1t won't do to say that it was a
question Of business rivalry. or spite
work The only question at issue is:
is the supply Of water furuished by
the old Palatka Water Works i'm.
pure?
The state health officer has setflee
that question in the affirmative.

CIVIC COMMITTEE PLEASED
WITH CHILDREN'S GARDENS

The members of the civic committee
and the judges concluded their in
tspection of the children's gardens
Friday and were much pleased with
the interest manifested by the little
folks this year and the really credi-
table showing they made.
In spite of the lateness of the
spring and the continued dry weather
of several weeks past, the children
made fine showing and their efforts
should be encouraged and. rewarded.
Mrs. Bitch. chairman of the com
mittee, remarked '@That considering
the fact that many of the children
are mere babies and that many of
the gardens represent the efforts of
children between the ages of six and
ten years, the gardens are wonder
full" She also said that the judges
were met with very general stories
of trials in the way Of marauding
chickens and consequent devastations
of gardens by them.
The little nephew of Dr. J. NJ
Gross, who is fours years old, has
most interesting garden of his very
own. The Troxler boys who won
prizes last year. at the flower show,
have very fine gardens and quantities
of flowers in bloom. Helen Jones has
wonderful lot of zinnias in bloom at
the Colonial. The gardens Of Cevie
and Hereschel Roberts and Wilfred
Harold are also very attractive. In
North Ocala were found many fine
gardens and in this part Of town the
results have been generally satisfac-
tory. A visit TO 3he childreh's gar
dens in spirit of appreciation would
really he worth any ones time and
would reveal possibilities for the
beautifying of Ocala that are worth
developing.
The flower show was held at the
court house square Monday afternoon
at o'clock First and second prizes
were awarded. for the best gardens
and exhibits to boys and girls be-
tween the. ages of six and ten years
and between the ages Of ten and. fif-
teen years and also to the lady max
ing the best exhibit of cut flowers
grown by herself.
The gorgeous display Of flowers so
artistically arranged at the band

eager. happy faces of the children
awaiting the decision Of the three
,, judges. Mrs. Horne, Mrs. Perdue and
Mrs. Caldwell were very gratifying to
Mrs. Bitch and the other members
of the committee. They. feel very
much encouraged, realizing what an
added interest there has been this
year among both the children and the
parents, and that the movement opens
wonderful field Of work for the
future. They can picture Ocala a
