HOGS OF PEDIGREE
Registered Duroc Hogs Being
Raised Here

In this paper last week, brie1
mention was made of the fact thai
7. w. Meadow, A. f. Dewey and
Joseph G. Meyrick have gone in.
to the business here of raising
Duroc Jersey hogs. Additional
details giving the pedigree OF
some of the hogs, as well as other
interesting particulars, are here
with submitted.
NJ Meadow has at the head of
OF his heard a descendant of De-
fender, dam Wonder Maid, the
grandparents of Oakland, Junior,
owned by VIM. Mayes. Dam,
Green's Queen, owned by Walter
Green, was the dam of his pig
named Perry Meadow. They are
the finest Duroc hogs in the
South.
Capt. Dewey has a brother of
Mr.. Meadows pig and is now
able to supply fine bred Durocs
at low prices.
Mr.. Meyrick has one gilt, full
sister of Perry Meadow and Pun
ia. Gorda No. 2; also, two full
bIoodod descendants of Ohio Chief
and Nellie Morton
Defender, the ancestor of Mr.
Meadows chief, was the prize pig
Of the United States, weighed1,-
sou pounds and sold for $5,OOO.O0
Messrs, Meadow, Dewey and
Neyrlck are trying to build up the
hog industry of South Florida
Their combined herds now amount
o eighty head. While they have
'een in the business only a short
inc, they are satisfied with the
progress they have thus far made
nd, from the little experience
hey have had, are convinced that
.og raising is very feasible in this
ocality and will soon prove one
t our most valuable industries

Citrus Trees Need Fall Applica.
ton of Ammonia

Citrus trees should have a fall
application of ammonia. In most
cases the ammonia has been de-
pleted. The tree has not only US
ed large quantities to make fol-
iage and fruit, but the bacteria
which convert insoluble ammonia
compounds to soluble have been
active during summer. These or
ganisms find the moist warm
weather particularly favorable to
to activity, and they have been
consequently liberating more am
monia than the trees could use.
The soluble amomnia, that
which the tree can use, has almost
all been washed away. 1t is prob
able that there is not enough am
monia in most citrus soils to con-
tinue normal development of the
trees and to ripen the fruit.
B. F. Floyd, plant Psychologist
to the University of Florida Elk
pertinent Station, recommends
that an application of nitrate of
soda or sulfatc of ammonia that
has been leached out of the soil.
This application should be made
during early September or early
enough that the trees may re-
cover from the stimulating effect
of the fertilizer before the fruit
begins to mature.

Cornbelt Prices Paid For South
ern Cattle

A story which originated in a
Chicago livestock journal is max
ing the rounds of number of
newspapers in the state. 1t seems
that w. II. Hurdle, a Mississippi
livestock man, went to Chicago
and obtained cornbelt prices for
steers. According to the Nation
al Livestock Reporter, Mr.. Hurd-
lie is a breeder Of Angus cattle,
but the animals which he sold
were out of common Mississippi
COWS which had been bred to pure
bred bulls.
Sixteen steers averaging LOG
pounds brought $40 a hundred. A
drove of mixed steers and heifers
averaging 625 brought 1915, and
mixed cows and heifers brought
1915. These prices per hundred
pounds are almost as much as a
whole range steer brings at two
or three year old when he is raised
for a feeder. Mr.. Hurdles ami
mails were long yearlings.
A number of factors contrib
uted to make these steers break
the market record for southern
cattle. First among these was the
man who believed in the things
which go to make good cattle;
second, they were produced in
tick free area; third, they were
well born; fourth. they received
plenty of good feed.
G. L. Willoughby, professor of
animal husbandry in the Univer-
sity Of Florida College of Agri-
culture, says that similar prices
can be duplicated for Folirda cat
tie, if they are produced under
similar conditions. Mississippi
offers no better opportunities for
producing good cattle than Flor
ida.

Shade Helps Produce Early Fall
Vegetables

/ Seedlings are hard to produce
during summer because the soil
becomes so warm and because
moisture is deficient. Of course
there is usually plenty of rain dur
ing summer,but occasionally sew
eral days of dry weather occur.
This gives the soil time to dry two
or three inches. Such dry spells
occur sometime in the early life
of seedlings AS result, the soil
dries below the roots of the small
plants and they die.
This has happened so often that
few people attempt to raise plants
before fall w. l.. Floyd, pro-
fessor of horticulture in the Uni
versity of Florida College of Agri-
culture, suggests that the moisture
can be controlled and the plants
be brought thru such spells by
shading and watering.
Plants for early cabbage and
lettuce can be produced this way.
A half shade, such as is used for
tobacco, can be placed over the
bed and it can be watered occas-
Sionally. The plants can thus
be kept growing until they become
established. By this method plants
can be had several weeks earlier
than they can if seeds are not !!
sown until later.
In the south part of the state
where tomatoes, celery and pep
pers are grown in the fall and
winter, the plants may be produc-
ed earlier by this same method.
Some folks have trouble in rails
ing early fall turnips. Turnips
for the table can be planted in Au-
gust, if water for irrigation is a.
valuable. Farmers who have no
facilities for irrigation or water
lng,may plant small patch for
home use and shade it with brush
to prevent evaporation. The brush |
should not be left on so long that |
1t will make the plants spindling.

Pierre, s. D.--The South Dakota
supreme court this afternoon an
nounced the granting ola permanent
injunction against the increase in
intra-state express rates proposed by
the Sioux City Commercial clubs and
Sioux City shippers.
Today's injunction marks another
step in apeculiar tangle over the fight
of Sioux Cityans to increase express
rates within South Dakota, on the
ground that they aretoo low to per-
nit of competition from the Iowa city
in interstate shipments. The natter
has been taken into both the state
and federal courts, the South Dakota
supreme court UNFOLDING the conten-
lions of the South Dakota shippers.
The Mitchell, Sioux Falls and Aber-
deem commercial clubs, as we'll as a
number of jobbers in these cities,
brought thea elton for enjoining pro-
ceedings.
