WITH THE TILLERs OF THE SOIL
JUST WAITING
By Mrs. X. S. Lawson

w. G.. Crews, representing the
A. c. Marshall Company which is
expected to operate the Skipper
Holderby new packing house for
spring crop shipment came up
from his headquarters at Fort
Myers, last Saturday, and spent
the day among the growers.
Mr.. Crews reports were full of
plenty of rain all over Florida
and so far as he could find out,
conditions here held ON as much
tomato crop prospect as anywhere
he has been.
Mr.. Crews firm is a large oper-
ator in truck crops in South Flori-
da, and they have been hoping to
find it desirable to come into the
Punta Gorda section for a large
tomato planting, but for the next
few days, no plans can be perfect
ed Mr.. Crews has some land in
view that would be highly salts
factory being especially well
drained and this piece may be
planted but no plans can be "a
greed upon until the weather
straightens out, Mr.. Crews said
that in his opinion plants could
go into the ground as late as the
middle of February and still this
section could get into a profitable
market ahead of the Plant City
section and Manatee. No section
he knows Of has any advantage at
this date over Punta Gorda.
Failing a tomato acreage worth
talking about, Mr.. Crews, in re-
ply to questions to what advice he
could give growers as to any sub
stitute, said the next best chances
he saw for any profit would be
watermelons and short crop beans.
Mr.. Crews said that his people
proposed to operate the packing
house here as soon as there was
shipping enough.

PRESENT SITUATION

The present situation is unpar-
allelled in the experience of local
truckers, and while only two men,
both on one prospect, have quit
the game, every one is acting
with cautiony feeling that the time
for taking extra hazards this sea-
son is fast passing. And yet, with
it all, every report brought into
town from other portions of the
state indicates that this section
still has a fair chance Of getting
into market profitably.
In the case of the two men men,
toned above, the Whitahurst
Brothers, who have returned to
Williston, the land they had been
preparing has been at once taken
over by experienced truckers so
that there is still no reduction in
the scheduled tomato acreage.
On the contrary, while the grow
ers are proceeding slowly with
planting, and many will hold their
plants until into February, any
change seems to show a slight in
crease in proposed tomato planned
acres. In a number Of instances
where it has finally become neces-
sary to give up eggplant or pepper
and pull them out these same a.
cres will be put into tomatoes. In
such cases the seed is being put in
without any special application Of
fertilizer but as the plants appear
and if conditions warrant, the
necessary fertilizer will be liberal
ly applied as the crop progresses.
The present policy seems to be
to gather up every loose end about
truck fields and be ready to jump
on the crop if conditions become
gratifying.

London, England The sweep

ton of the food supply of Ger

of the entire grain crop, is regard
ed in London as the most signifi-
cant item of news received from
the countries at war.
Berlin announced officially that
this step cuts deeper into the ec-

than any other measure adopted
since the outbreak of hostilities
and the government defends the
regulation on the ground, in or

In the war area the reported
Russian invasion of Hungary by
way of Bukowina is attracting in
terested attention in London. A
special news dispatch from Buda-
pest sets forth that after tempo
rary check the Muscovites actu-
ally had penetrated Hungary,
where they hold the key to Jose
falva, an important strategic po-
sition. Russian reinforcements
are reported as constantly arriv~
ing in Bukowina, a fact which
clearly indicates in the opinion Of
British observers, the intention
of Russia to invade Pennsylvania
in force.
Petrograd asserts that as
counter to this Russian move a.
gainst Pennsylvania, the German
army which was sent ostensibly to
operate against Servia, is now be-
ing directed to the defense of the
Carpathian passes in conjunction
with the forces Of Hungary.

AN EGG RECORD
Punta Gorda Girl Knows What it
Costs to Produce Eggs Here

just now much talk is floating
around as to the high cost of egg
production, and many people are
advised to buy eggs rather than
raise them.
There was a time when Punta
Gorda was considered an impos-
sible place to raise hens and eggs
proftably or even to handle them
for family purposes. All that is
changed but the increasing cost of
poultry feed has resulted in much
talk of raising some chicken feed
while any figures showing what it
costs to make eggs start discus
sions and arguments.
Since Mr.. and Mrs. FitzGerald
came to Punta Gorda, Miss Bessie
FitzGerald has kept accurate ac-
counts on the portluycmfwypvb
She has very kindly furnished
these figures which will give
some chance for comparisons a.
mong poultry keepers. Miss Bes-
sic thinks brown leghorns are the
great eggmachines but her pets on
the place are the five Orpingtons
which she herself brought from
Wyoming when the family moved
here.
Miss Bessie says: "Now, | just
let them have their liberty and
feed them a quart of wheat twice
a day. | hardly ever get them
bran. Indeed not worth mention
ing how often. | only have 30
hens, five of them being the Or
pingtons which | keep for mothers
and those lay very few eggs before
they want to set. | set them twice
or three times a year"
The record of the thirty-fve
hens shows in the last year they
laid a total of 3400 eggs divided
among the months as follows;
January, 1914 146; February
1926; March $50; April 599; May
PSF; June 375; July 334; August
419; September 374; October 125;
November 72; December 116.
With the varying prices of
wheat, all purchased at retail,
the expense was 1885. Eggs
averaged selling price of 30c per
dozen.
AT that rate eggs were produced
at cost of little over one and a
sixth cents per egg. AS hens and
cockerels were also sold the pOult-
ry accounts of Miss Bessie show
that even at the present rate paid
for feed, eggs can be produced
profitably if eggmachines are
kept and if the laying stock is
kept up to the notch.
The matter of local grown feeds
is engaging poultry keepers atten-
tion just now more than ever.
