THE SCRATCH PAD

"Alms and the Man" is the song
that is sung too often nowadays.

Ida has too much law and too little

GENERAL NIvELLE IN CHARGE

General Nivelle, commander at Verdun,
where his brilliant strategy won back in
6.aas what it took the Germans months to
gain. ssupplants General Joffre in the
supreme carrmand of the French army.
With the announcement comes word of.
a complete military reorganization, for the
dissatisfaction felt in. England at the
allies conduct of the war, has spread to
France as we'll Recognizing that lack of
Capitalization is responsible for their diff
ficulties, England is centering control in a
council of FIVE, and the most pronounced
democrats of Frahce are going still further
and demanding temporary reversion to a
dictatorship.
General Joffre was victim to the old
system to some extent, and his policy Of
"nibbling' really did accomplish a great
mission, so long as it was necessary for the
allies to fight on the defensive but that he
IS incapable OF planning a great offensive.
the meagre results of the Somme seem to
show, and for that reason his place is taken
by general who has shown that he can
take forts, as well as hold them.
IF the war is terminated through the
channels of diplomacy, General Nivelle's
ability NAV never be put to the supreme
test; but his past record points him out as
the superman France needs, and If Ger
many's peace overtures are rejected we
may expect an allied drive in the spring on
scale hitherto not attempted.

ASKING FOR FARM LOANS.

Fifty thousand farmers have already APP
piled for loans, aggregating S150,0O0,OO0,
under the federal farm loan law. Applica-
tons are pretty we'll scattered, but as was
to be expected, the majority come from
what may be roughly described as the
north.
1t will not be long, however, before the
south profits by the opportunity. Loans
cannot be made unless there are borrowers,
and there are not yet enough people in the
south--especially the gulf coast south-to
conduct extensive development plans. But
the country is filling up every day. Senator
Fletchers bill, which has enabled the farmer
to borrow on as favorable terms as asrail-
road, will be the means of building up the
country.

One of the reasons why newspaper men
are willing to work so hard, endure such
hardships, and make SO many sacrifices, is
that deep down in their hearts they hope
someday to reap their reward in the recog-
milton and the love which is given to few
of them, like Frank Harris, of the Ocala

The scarcity of milk and dairy pro-
ducts on the average Florida farmers
table is very noticeable. In a state
where ideal dairying conditions prevail
this scarcity is to be deplored. To
the average individual seeking the
cause of such conditions. there is only
one answer, which can be summed in
one word, Indifference" And this
word. indifference, is the keynote to
great many backward conditions
found on the average native Florid-
ian's farm, and the lack of fresh milk
and butter on many farmers is respon-
sible for the large percentage of sick
and anaemic children in rural COM
munities of the state. Hookworms and
other diseases are often blamed for
sickly children while the real cause

kinds of food, particularly milk and
butter

THE SOUTH IS THE BEST PLACE

Increasing tales of distress suffered by
negroes who listened not wisely but too
well to the honeyed words of the labor
agents and went nerth, have prompted the
African Methodist Episcopal church to is

ton, greenhouse overseer at the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. A
growing tree in winter may be bent
by weight of ice or snow; and wind
blowing from one direction for several
days may produce the same result.
'"Trees of rapid growth are less like
ly to require careful attention than
those that take longer to develop"
says Mr.. Layton. oaks, elms, pines,
frs and apples are among those that
usually tend away from erect growth.
The maple and cottonwood, trees of
quick growth, shoot up straight and
tall
The common method of training a
tree is first to drive a stake firmly
into the ground beside it, and then
place a strap around both tree and
stake says this authority. Animals
often injure particularly apple
trees. AS a protection, a wire net
ting, 2 to Is inches high, is used to
inclose the base of the tree. A trells-
like frame is also made for the protec-
ton and training of small trees in
parkings. A young tree which has be-
