AVOCADO LIKES CITRUS SOIL

| The popularity Of avocado fruits is
growing steadily in the big eastern
cities of the North. The demand in
those cities has never been supplied
There is also a potential demand in
many other cities where the fruit is
not known. There is small fortune
in the culture of this fruit for the
man who cares to prepare for it.
Those who contemplate setting a
grove should begin preparations
now. The avocado is suited to citrus
soils and prefers the best type. The
culture is practically the same as for
citrus, according to P. II. Rolls,
dean of the University of Florida
College Of Agriculture and director
of the Experiment Station. The land
should be cleared of trash and well
prepared. The organic is the best
form of nitrogen for avocados, and
prospective avocado land should be
seeded to leguminous crop before
the grove is planted
Velvet beans is one of the best
crops for this purpose. and it will
furnish an abundance OF feed in ad-
dition to the nitrogen for the soil.
II will be we'll, however, to turn the
crop under as green manure, because
the trees will need the organic mat
ter. Those who have groves set
should prepare for summer cover
crop of velvet beans, beggar weed
or some other legume. Careful cul-
ture should be given in dry weather
The greatest difficulty with prop
agating a grove is to obtain the
seeds and bud wood Mr. Rolls ad-
vises those who want to start
grove to engage seeds and bud wood
in advance. 1t is advisable to grow
the early, late or very late varieties,
because the intermediate will have
to compete with the seedlings, which
ripen about midsnasOn The earliest
varieties are the Baldwin and Early;
late Trap; very late Guatemalan.

sILO SAVES CORN

Will you build silo this summer?
Why not put it up and let it pay
for itself? Listen, corn that stands
in the field until most farmers are
ready to harvest it loses from SO to
70 per cent of its feeding value.
This loss is estimated by c. l.. Will
loughby, professor of animal hus-
bandry in the University of Florida
College of Agriculture. If corn is
cut and shocked the same is true.
Even if it were not subjected to the
weevils, the corn ear worm, hot sun
and heavy rains, about 35 to 40 per
cent of the feeding value would be
lost by harvesting only the grain
The stalks and blades are good feed.

SAVE ALL THE RAIN POSSIBLE

c. X. McQuarrie. state agent for
the University of Florida Extension
Division, advises farmers to save all
the rain that they can within the
next few months Mr.. McQuarrie
thinks that there is not much chance
for plenty of rain until the rainy
season. At any rate. as long as the
present drouth continues moisture
conservation should be practiced.
Land should be cultivated after
every rain. This will break the
crust and prevent moisture from
escaping. 1t is not enough to Gull
tivate near the plant rows and
leave the middles unbroken. Mois-
ture will soon find channels through
the unbroken surface. The capillary
force works horizontally as well as
vertically, and can transport water
in any direction.

Gasoline Is Going Higher Unless
Cheaper Refining Is Invented

found that it only worked for time.
4 The gas barons discovered what was
doing. and they began to change the
prices oftener, and began TO make
! the change usually skyward Now
! the motorcar owner at last discov-
ers that he is in the grip of the
/ barons and takes his orders from
/ them He buys at the price marked
at the time and has stopped taking
in supply beyond his immediate
needs
But let us see some of the things
the Secretary of the Interior wrote
to the Senate in answer to their
queries.
Any Child Can Solve 1t
The Senate wanted to know the
total amount of gasoline produced
in the United States each year since
1900. So the Secretary forthwith
sent one of his handy men to look
it up. OF course, the only data
available was the five-year census of
industries, and the Secretary had to
confess this. From this source it
was found, in 1899, 6,6S0,OO0 bar
rels; in 1914 it had reacher 34,915,-
900 barrels, and the Secretary ven
tured an estimate for 1915, placing
it at nearly 100000 barrels. If
the senator's are good at figures they
can make out the statistics for he
years uncovered
AS to he amount OF gasoline con-
sumed in the United States the re-
port had to confess that available
figures do not give it with exactness,
but the department did the best it
could, for it did have the production
for certain census years, and it did
have the expert figures for the same
periods.
This plan for finding the apparent
consumption of gas is an easy one.
Any child can work it out. Just
subtract the exports from the pro-
duction and there you are-almost
You do have the difference between
the two sets of figures, but the re-
port admits in another place that,
while the apparent difference be-
tween exports and production in
1914 left remainder of 29,915, 900,
and that conservative estimate OF
the excess gas on hand on January
], 1915, was 100000 barrels, that
surplus had been virtually exhausted
by January, 1916. You see, Con-
gress had been in session in the
meantime, and there are great
many double skies with 100 h. D. in
the halls of the nations lawmakers
but modesty forbade mention of this
in the report.
The report gives survey of all
the known oil fields in the country,
with figures of both production and
price per barrel in each. The figures
here are fuller and cover the period
under inquiry year by year. The
astonishing thing about this table
Is that while the price per barrel in
the Appalachian field in 1913 was
~, 4S-say $2.46 for convenience
the price last year was only s1.56,
yet the price of gas to the con-
sumer went up.

tional strain OF impatient and angry

which might be we'll to be thought
of as by-product, possibly, of a
more general discussion of industrial

If you do not own and operate a
motorcar you are missing some of
the finest joys of living at the pres
ent time You even will not know
the pleasures of looking up each day
the latest quotations of gasoline.
The same gasoline that was in the
dealers tank last night will be
worth cents a gallon more today,
probably.
There is such delightful uncer-
tainty about gasoline that really
playing a margin has nothing on it.
You cannot get half as much anx
iety watching amalgamated pig
Iron passing through the throes in
Wall street each day as you can dis
cussing with yourself at breakfast
whether you will be able to buy
gasoline that day or whether the
gasoline producers, or whoever con-
trolls the price of that volatile sub
stance, will insist upon mortgage
on your car or your house before
they will let you have it.
Life is not worth living if you
have no struggles; and the owners
of cars today are struggling hard
to get good gasoline at price that
makes a run in their private car at
least as cheap as a commuters ride
to the suburbs on a railroad
OF course, there are some motor
car owners who have no sense of
humor, or, if they have it, have en-
tirely failed to develop it to its full
power. These personally actually
are complaining about the price
asked for the gas they place in their
tanks. III

 expert, who is daily meeting scores of local people at Hindle's Main and State streets store, said:
 MT. Anderson's case is only one of hundreds of similar experiences that will be related by Bridgeport people before I have been here many weeks. Sometimes Wilderbs seems to bring relief during the first 24 hours and then again other cases are more stub born and require longer treatment. do not pretend to say that Wild erbs' (full extract) will cure every case of stomach trouble, run down condition, nervousness, rheumatism, constitution, etc, but I do say that if it fails to bring entire satisfaction to the patient for any reason it will cost him or her nothing.
 "I want every sick and ailing man and woman in Bridgeport to come in and meet me personally and let mo tell them what 'Wilderbs' in it's full strength has done for others afflicted in the same way. It makes no differ ence whether they decide to try the medicine or not. am glad to talk to anyone and take their blood pressure with the most scientific machine made.

STALLYNGS EXPECTS TO OVERHAUL BROOKLYN IN
 LAST PART OF SEASON

New York, Aug. 25.--George Stall ings saw Wednesdays Dodger-Cub melee Yet Sta1lings did not belittle the Dodgers in speaking of them af- ter they had put up their worst ex- hibition of the trip.
 Naturally I hope and expect we will overhaul Brooklyn" said the Brave leader. "But don't think for a moment that I don't realize it's going to be bitter fight.
 Even in defeat the Dodgers show ed strength They got poor pitching and made numerous errors in play and in judgment. This gave the Cubs a big early lead, but before the game was over the Brooklyn players had pulled themselves together, driv- en Lavender from the box and came within one run of catching Tinker's men. If McCarty had made a hit and tied the score the Dodgers would probably have won. They were com- ing while the Cubs were going.
 "I think we will win because I count on meeting the Dodgers in Bos- ton next month with my club not more than two games behind the leaders. We seem able to beat Brook lyn this year, so I think in the four game series in Boston we will catch Robfnson's men and go on and win However, I know it's going to be a tough race"
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-08-25

Axel Anderson, high grade me- chanic who works at the huge Rem ington plant, is one of the first of Bridgeport people to report successful results from the use of "Wilderbs" Gull extract), the new medicine now being introduced here. Anderson's case is an unusual one because of the remarkably quick results obtained. He has been suffering from stomach trouble for six years, until "Wilderbs" was recommended to him. He has been using this Miracle Medicine" only a short time and now testifies that the gas trouble he had has di- unfinished and his general health is immensely improved. He said:
 T wish you had come to Bridge port four years ago which would have saved me a lot of money as I had to give up my work for a change of air. My stomach trouble was so bad for six years now I have suffered with gas on my stomach and at times it was difficult for me to breathe, 1t choked me up so. Every medicine I tried did me no good and even my trip abroad only helped me tempor- ari1y. I was beginning to believe there was no relief until I lately read how highly 'Wilderbs' was recom- mended for this trouble; I have only used two bottles and feel tremendous ly improved.
 "The gas trouble occurs less often and I can feel my trouble leaving me day by day. My stomach is now in excellent condition and I can once more breathe freely. I now feel that it has been proven to me beyond

FRENCH TAKE MAUREPAS
 AND PUSH ON 200 YARDS

Paris, Aug. 25.-"North of the Somme, about 5 yesterday afternoon says last nights official bulletin, i've attacked German positions in the Maurepas region.
 Alter carrying in a single rush that part of the village which the enemy still occupied, and adjoining trenches, we established a line 20 metres be- yond on a front of abut two kilome- tres, stretching from the railroad north of the village to Hill 121 on the southeast. We took prisoner 200 Germans and captured a dozen ma chine guns. South of the Somme the artillery duel continues in the Estrees and Lihons sector.
 "On the east bank of the Mouse the enemy launched many hand grenade attacks against our new front between Thiaunnont and Fleury. All these attempts broke down under our fire. We made slight progress be- yond the eastern outskirts of Fleury The days battle brought the total of prisoners in this sector to 800, eight of them officers"
 The earlier official bulletin tells of the repulse of a German attack south ol tiiS SOIuIIe, at SoNecOuTb " Oou, and several small attacks in the Champaere and 2nrs that in Wednes- days attack at FIeury 250 prisoners were taken.
 It also tells of the shooting down of four German aeroD!anes, one by a French airman, who was attacked by three Germans. shot one of them down and himself returned safely.
 A despatch to La Liberts from the Somme front says the terrific violence of the French bombarment south of the Somme, from Eitrees to Lassigny, has drawn the German airmen across the French lines, after long period of quiet, apparently in the effort to locate the French batteries. They were driven back he says.
