GIVING PALATKA
WORLD PROMINENCE
Constructive Work of James
R. Murphy Making Him
a National Factor.

The constructive work that James
r. Murphy, president of the Florida
Farms and Homes, Inc, is doing on
his lands between Palatka and Ocala
is attracting national attention and
giving this section prominence in
world movements for the develop
ment of the farming and livestock in
terests Of the country and in the So
luton of the problems involved in the
high cost of living.
When the ely of New York through
Mayor Mitchell appointed commit
tee to plan emergency measures to re-
lieve the food situation in that city
owing to the shortage in some of the
principal crops and the increasing
costs of living Mr.. Murphy was one
of the first men in Florida to receive
a telegram inviting his cooperation.
In November a conference was held
in Philadel phia under the auspices
of the Philadelphia Wool and Textile
Association for the encouragement of
sheep husbandry in the United States.
Following this meeting Mr.. Murphy
received a letter from Mr.. Arthur C.
Bigelow, president of the Association
and chairman of the conference, ask
ing his aid along these lines
The action of this conference had
been anticipated by Mr.. Murphy who
had some time previous taken steps
to bring before the principal sheep
breeders of the country the advant-
ages that Florida offered for the sheep
industry. With H. P. Fell, a practi-
cal sheep man from the north west
on the lands of the company engaged
in this industry he is able to give de-
finite information on the subject.
From the replies being received by
Mr. Murphy the indications are that
the sheep industry will be an impor-
tant feature of the live stock move
ment that is so rapidly building up
this section of Florida.
To further encourage sheep hus
bandry Mr.. Murphy has written to
Secretary Houston, of the depart
ment of Agriculture, and to Director
Rolls of the Experiment Station at
Gainesville requesting their coopera-
ton in a survey of this section of
Florida to definitely determine its
advantages for raising sheep.

Soap Economy.

When a cake of soap is worn nearly
thin enough to break stick it to the
new cake by putting both in quite
warm water, then press firmly togeth-

pieces of soap and there is no waste.

meal contains too much bread and
potatoes.
Beware Of the picnic lunch; It
is usually the lunch and not the
water that is responsible for the
stomach and bowel disorders that
so often follow a picnic for the av-
erage stomach.
Green corn is a highly nutri-
tious food; furthermore, almost
everyone can digest it without diff
ficulty if he chews it thoroughly
and avoids acid foods and meats
at the same meal.
Do not flood the stomach with
water while it is filled with food.
The best plan is not TO drink for
three hours after any meal, but TO
drink freely between the meals.
Tea and coffee both add to our
hot weather discomfort, not so
much on account Of the heat they
may carry into the body, but by
reason of the bad effect they ex-
ercise upon the nervous system.
