INDIANS USED FISH
TO BUILD UP SOILS
EARLY SETTLERS IN VIRGINIA
TAUGHT LESSON IN BETTER
FARMING IN 1889 BY NATIVES.

The Indians were the first farmers in
America. Investigations OF their meth
DDS show that they understood the
value of applying fertilizer in growing
corn. The words "menhaden" and
"poghaden" meant fertilizer, according
TO Professor Trumbull, an authority on
Indian life, In Virginia, in 1882, Thorn
as Morton wrote: There is a FISH (by
some called shads, by some alliEes)
that at the spring of the year passes
up the rivers to spawn in the ponds
and are taken in such multitudes each
year in every river that hath a pond
at the end, that the inhabitants fer
tilize their land with them. You may
see in one township a hundred acres
altogether that have been set with
these FISH, each acre taking 1000 OF
them. An acre thus dressed viii pro-
duce and yield as much corn as three
acres without fish"
In New England. an Indian, Squanto.
taught the Pilgrims how to raise corn
by fertilizing the land with fish, caught
in early April Governor Bradford, in
his History of the Plymouth Colony"
says that Squanto taught the settlers
that except they got fish and set the
old grounds with them, It would come
to nothing" SQuanto's teachings were
tried in 1921. and the following year.
another writer, George Mourt, re-
corded in his journal" that 20 acres
of corn and six acres of barley, treated
as SQuanto had taught, made an excel
lent yield.

Fertility Comes First

Fertility is the first word in
farming. Ii is the first consider
alton in placing a value on
new lands. It is first mentioned
when old farms are sold. 1t is
the first problem that confronts
the beginner as well as the eK-
pert who takes up the oultiva-
tiou of new crops on new fields.
1t is the first in the list OF ques-
tons asked by those seeking
help in farming. The solution of
the fertility problem makes 9TH
er problems much easier of solu-
ton.

LIBRARY BUILDING
COMPLETED TODAY

Except for the few slight furnish
lngs which have not yet arrived, the
attractive new building of the Day
tona Beach public library is finished
and will be occupied Monday.
The neat little building on PENN
suia drive, across from the cemetery.
has more the appearance of a three
room bungalow than the home of a
public library, but is admirably fitted
to the needs of the community and
has every modern convenience.
Since the founding of the Library
association nearly five years ago the
chief aim of the organization has been
to have such building. During the
intervening years the books have
been kept in six different places caus-
ing much Inconvenience in various
ways. Winter visitors have patron
ize the library and have been unable
to find it on their return to the
South. The ladies of the association
wish to thank those who have been so
KIND as to house the books until they
could have a residence of their own.
The work on the building has been
accomplished at much less than ac-
tual cost because of so many dona-
lions of labor from the home peo-
pie. Sixty-five dollars in labor has
been given as well as the cement
blocks for the foundation. The frame
structure was erected at cost by a
local contractor and the laying of
the foundation as well as the painting
and putting in of the shelves and 9TH
er built-in furnishings have all been
contributed. The organization also
wishes to thank those who have
helped.

PENINSULA PEOPLE
ANXIOUS FOR FERRY
RESIDENTS OF DAYToNA BEACH
FEEL DISPlEASED AT ACTION
OF COUNTY BOARD AND ARE
CONSIDERING PETITION

The people of Daytona Beach and
Seabreeze are somewhat aroused
over the action of the county board
in making the ferry franchise granted
to Luther Willin, of Daytona, so I'M
reasonable. in their minds, that he
was unable to accept it.
A goodly number of the winter
tourists who live near the ferry land
ing and are not DESTROYS of making
great haste in getting over the river
have been using the ferry conducted
by Mr.. Willin and find it very conven-
lent to their needs.
Mr.. Wilhn recently applied to the
board of county commissioners at De
Land for a five-year franchise and re
ceived it a few days ago, only to find
that its conditions were much more
stringent than he could possibly fol
low and for that reason he refused to
accept it.
A number of the ladies and gentle
men of the peninsula towns are con
sidering sending a petition to the
county board to see what action car
be taken. These people are of the
/ opinion that the ferry is a good adver
/ tisement to the town as well as a very
great convenience. They also believe
that the county board should be much
more lenient for the reason that the
ferry has been in operation for many
years.
