KAFIR CORN AND SHALLU
SORGHUM GOOD POULTRY FEED

Backyard poultrymen and those
who are in the business for a liveli-
hood are continuously looking for
feed. The more feed they have to
buy, the smaller their profits will be
just as in any other kind of animal
production. A. p. Spencer, district
agent for the University of Florida
Extension Division, recommends
kafir corn and shallu sorghum for
their consideration
These two plants will produce an
abundance of grain for poultry.
Shallu is especially good because of
the thin coat on the seed and be-
cause of the open head which is not
SO apt to mold during the rainy sea-
son as the close head varieties
These two crops may be planted by
March 10 in the northern part of
the state and week or two earlier
in the southern part.
Plant in rows about 80 inches
apart. Plants should stand about s
inches apart in the row when a large
yield of grain is desired, They both
do best on rich soil, but will yield
well on average soil.-U. of f. Agri-
cultural News Service.

HOMESTEADERS IN FLORIDA

Less than 40 years ago a large
part of the present prosperous state
CT Kansas and Nebraska were dotted
over largely with the dug-outs and
sod shanties which served so large a
part in saving that domain to civili-
| cation. Those states were placed in
cultivation and developed to their
present state Of wealth and prestige
| largely through the efforts of those
who went on the land and encounter
ed seasons of drouth and grasshop-
pers until they became so poor they
couldn't leave the country.
The law of compensation applies in
condition in which those who be-
came too poor to leave are thse who
remained to reap the reward for eff
tort in the enjoyment of good homes
and an abundance of the material
blessings of life.
The weather bureau records of
any community, when kept for long
term of years, will show that the
climate does not change. Years and
seasons differ from each other, but
when cycle is complete it is dis
covered that the general average has
not changed.
Farmers of the semi-arid West and
Southwest changed, not the climate,
but they brought about better condi-
lions through the use of improved
machinery and improved methods of
cultivating the soil; and they studied
persistently and consistently with a
view to the introduction and Guilt
walton of those field crops which
would withstand the extreme eli
mate and which would become adapt
ed to the soil
That's what the farmers will have
to do in Florida.
In addition to the citrus fruits
and the winter garden products
which flourish wonderfully, there is
so large q number of valuable crops
which flourish naturally here in
Florida that it seems a marvel that
more attention is not paid to them
An increasing number of home
steaders and settlers are solving the
problem of comfortable living on the
soil, bringing nearer the time when
| this delightsome land shall be as it
it's manifest destiny; the home of the
most contented and happy rural
population in the country, if not the

NEW COMPANY MAKES RUGS
AND TWINE FROM PALMETTO

jacksonville, Fla. April 6-The
Palmetto Products Company of this
city is now producing twine and
mats from the Florida palmetto. The
products have been given the most
severe tests and it is believed that
the industry will soon be one of the
largest in the state.
The palmetto has long been regard
ed as the bane of the Florida farm
er. The new company is demonstrat-
ing the usefulness of the plant. Leas-
es have been secured ON more than
$4,000 acres of land and negotiations
are now pending for even larger
tracts. The supply is unlimited. AT
ter starting the manufacture of rugs
efforts were made TO place them on
the market and two large firms have
already offered to contract to take
the entire output of the company.
Afer completing this demonstra-
tion the problem of supplying the
farmers with binder Irvine was taken
up. The officers of the company can
manufacture Irvine at a much lower
price than can the factories using the
Mexican sisal hemp. Some 10000
tons of this Irvine are used annually.
Abe company also expects to manu-
facture cotton baling of which about
100000 tons are used every year.

PERHAPS!

When cows fall i'll the government
proceeds to take alarm
And sends a veterinarian to sanitate
the farm. :.
The COW herself is put TO bed, and
piled with drugs and pills,
And Uncle Sam comes forward, when
she's cured, TO pay the bills.
But when a baby falls in need OF
medicine and care,
The government contends that that
is none OF its affair.
When pigs and lambs are threatened
by a deadly pestilence
Their tender lives are guarded at the
governments expense.
They're coddled, nursed and dieted
until they're well and fat,
And never reckon OF the cost--for
Uncle Sam pays that.
But when an epidemic marks the ba-
bies for its own,
The government, untroubled, lets
them fight it out alone.
Some day, perhaps, when all the pork
has lavishly been passed,
When every scrap of patronage is
handed out at last,
When all congressman have got all
they desire,
And have attained whatever heights
to which they may aspire,
To unknown heights of common
sense the government will leap,
And do as much for mothers as it
does for cows and sheep.

(Sol Metzger, in New York SUM


The annual exodus of golfers to
Florida is increasing with regularity
1t is safe to say now that half the
people who visit the state in the win
ter play golf. Consequently any self
respecting resort must have links
which will hold as well as attract
those who are so fortunate as to
spend part of the cold weather sea-
son-that is, cold up North in this
land of sunshine.
Ten years ago Florida had a few
courses. The game was looked upon
as hoggy, a craze that would die
out Hotel men refused to build
bunkers and make hazards on their
expensive lawns. Now Florida has
thirty points which have links. Re-
sort and hotel managers are draining
swamps and filling lowlands, making
problems in grass growing and turf
building that would put Burbank
to shame. Golf is here to stay 1t is
the one almost general amusement
of the winter visitor.
The problems offered are unusual
to the golfer of the North. They are
similar to those found along the
coast courses of Scotland and Ire
land, and that they are popular is
proved by the fact that there are no
more rigidly adhered to schedules at
st. Andrews, Scotland, than there
are at such golfing points at Bellair,
Ormond and Palm Beach. You play
golf on reserved time at these points
or you don't play.
An example of the earlier mistakes
are the sand putting green's of the
old courses. They offered a simple
solution to the. veXing problem of
growing grass in a hot climate by
lodging it entirely. Grass greens
are being built almost everywhere
now
The winter golfer faces a problem
when he turns to Florida in the num-
Der of its courses and the variety of
special attractions to select from.
One cannot hope in a season to kill
tarpon and sailfish, deer and quail,
angle in fresh water and in salt and
mix this all with round or two of
golf each day. Fortunately there is
sunshine and sport enough for all.
1t is impossible to classify Flor
sonal preference must rule. But
aside from Bellair, which now stands
supreme, and Palm Beach, which is
out to shallenge the leader when it's
new links are open, there are half a
dozen or more other points with
,, hourses under way and just complet-
ed which command attention.
At Orlando, in the central part of
| the state, there is charming nine
hole course of Bermuda grass and
| turf greens at the Country Club. 1t
is 1858 yards in length, borders a
! beautiful clear water lake, and three
of it's holes around in natural haz-
ards The course will be increased
another nine holes at the end of next
season. Tournaments are confined tC
local members. ID. X. Davidson, the
professional in charge from the Lake
Shore Country Club near Chicago
built the course three years ago.
