Packing House Talk

No late information is to be OBJ
tanned relative to the opening of
the big Skipper-Holderby packing
house by the Marshall people as
had been announced in the fall.
Mr.. Crews the representative In
this section for that house who
made many acquaintance last
wear about Punta Gorda, has been
expected here for some days but
nothing has been seen of him.
Growers are beginning to talk
seriously of what is to be expect
ed in the shape of shipping facili-
ties and packing house beside that
planned for the old freight house.
There is very evident intention to
secure heavier shipments per acre
than last year if fertilizer and cul-
tivation will produce results and
everyone hopes to see the fine
new packing house operated for
the tomato season. Some of the
growers are considering getting
the growers association together
soon if the expected arrangements
do not appear positive and take
steps to see that adequate pack
ing facilities are arranged for
shipments in car lots as was done
last year.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1915-01-07

er sections are emphatic in their
expressions as to this feature of
truck raising here.
j. f. Citizens is in for seven
acres of Early Fortune cucum-
bers. Mr.. Citizens says the past
two springs have been poor for
cucumber crop and this may prove
a good one.
G. p. Wilhelm on the Sabel
place on Pineapple river is put.
ting in an acre of tomatoes and
two and a half of beans. Mr..
Wilhelm is making his first Flori-
da crops but is familiar with
country life in West Virginia.
IL. R, DreggorS is putting in
four acres of tomatoes.
The watermelon deal for Flori-
donia is still hanging fire and the
growers who were expected to be
in it are beginning to plan for 9th
er spring crops. Some of the land
will go into tomatoes.

Wait For Her, Boys!

The girl who is unkind to her
mother ism worth a tinker's dog
gone. This isn't written in any
part of the Bible, but it's written
in the history Of thousands and
thousands Of misft homes. If
one Of you boys ever run across a
girl with her face full of roses
with eyes that would dim the lus-
tire of a Colorado sky and with a
voice that would make the song Of
an angel seem discordant, and she
says, as she comes to the door:
81 can't go for a few minutes,
I've got to help mother with the
Dishes" don't give her up. Stick
to her like a bur to a mules tail.
Just sit down on the doorstep and
wait, If she joins you in two or
three minutes, so much the better;
but if you have to stay there on
the doorstep for a half hour, or
an hour, you just wait for her. If
YOU don't somebody else WILL
and in time you'll be sorry, for
you'll realize what you have lost.
Wait for her, boy. She's worth
it-BorrOwed.

The Greed of the Country

Rural life is coming into it's
own and country life is beginning
to be appreciated again otter sew
eral decades Of diSfavor and neg
lect. The following creed, which
is being adopted as the slogan of
various boys and girls clubs
throughout the rural sections of
the United States, shows that the
thought life Of the country is be-
ing directed into its natural chan
nels:
81 believe that the country
which God made is more beauti-
full than the city which man made;
that life out of doors and in touch
with the earth is the natural life
of man. l believe that work is
work wherever | find it, but that
work with nature is more inspir-
ing than work with the most intri-
cate machinery. | believe that
the dignity of labor depends not
only upon what you do, but on
how you do it; that opportunity
comes to boy on the farm as of
ten as to a boy in the city, and
that life is larger and freer and
happier on the farm than in the
town. ~

Florida's Real Boosters

NeO. n. MCCLELLAN, eQllOF Oh the
Florida Metropolis, is in position,
if any man in Florida is, to tell
the people of the State what the
newspapers of the State are doing
and accomplishing in the way of
boosting the best interests of this
section of the country. In a re-
cent article in The State. Mr.. Nc
Clellan has this to say:
"Florida possesses more poten-
tialities of productiveness yet in
an undeveloped state than any
other large area Of the North A
merican continent. Within this
State could be produced hundreds
.of millions of dollars worth of
foodstufs, livestock, poultry, ETC.,
not now growing.
FLORIDA has more acres of I'M
titled land, suspectible of being
converted into profitable produc-
ing acres, than any four states in
the Union. This is a state of
great agricultural and horticulture
al possibilities, and compared with
the state of development in other
sections, is the newest state in the
Union.
"The press of Florida has done
more than any other factor in
bringing producers to Florida,
and bringing the state as far as it
has come along the lines of agri-
cultural development. 1t is up
to the newspapers of the State to
complete that work and bring the
thousands of families here in the
next few years needed to develop
our lands.
"Look over, the Florida press,
particularly the country weeklies.
| Nowhere in America is there as
strong a press. The papers are
ably edited, well printed, have ev-
cry appearance of brains business
capacity and mechanical skill in
their makeup, and all of them are
boosters for Florida.
"There is hardly a plan put
forward for the advancement and
upbuilding of the State that do
esn't originate in the newspaper
office, and some Of the best plans
originate in the Offices of the
country weeklies. There isn't a
movement for Florida that ism t
boosted by the newspapers day in
and day out, and week in and
week out. A newspapers stock
in trade is its space. They give
freely of that to every enterprise
that looks forward to htc develop
ment and betterment Of Florida.
If a bank or a business enterprise
would give ten per cent of as much
Of dts stock in trade to boost klori-
da and develop the State, Florida
would have more money to spend
in publicity and in bringing peo-
pie here than she would know
what to do with.
"In the Florida press, and a
gain, we must particularize the
substantial, ably edited, strong
weekly press of the State, Flori-
da has her greatest asset-her
greatest army Of workers, OF men
with foresight to get a clear vision
of the future, and to hammer in
to the public mind to-day the es-
sentials Of future development
and greatness that will make
Florida the leader of American
States in the production Of agri-
cultural crops, live stock, poultry

COPPER AS HARD AS STEEL.

of civilizations is the tempering Of
copper or Of bronze, which is copper alleged with tin
The old and Romans had swords, knives and 9th
cutting tools made of bronze, with sharp and dur
able cutting edge as our finest steel Somehow the
process was forgotten For centuries modern metaurg
lists have sought in vain to rediscoyer it, All our pure
copper is soft be worthless for making tools,
is either too soft too brittle to be
serviceabe Now an old village blacksmith in Milbrdge.
Me- claims to have solved the problem. According TO
news dispatches has copper knives that win white
shayings from kln,dred hickory copper drawshaye
that viii slice ash as saw-cutter slices cab
bage copper chise mortises in the toughest
oak plank and copper that the village barber pre-
fers to steel ones.
Foss, the disooverer, he forged the tools
from such odd bits metal copper WIRE old copper
kettle and discarded soldering copper from sardine
cannery It's all in the empering process he and
he boasts that he can a copper file hand OF
anything else of any degree Of hardness.
The peculiar merit Of copper bronze is that it doesn
rust II it can really be tempered Foss says, it is
therefore more valuable than fine steel and the ole
blacksmith ought to realize his ambition of "gettnl
enough out of his discovery to spend his wthou
work"
