Prepare for Fall Truck Crons.

Fertilizers probably will remain
high throughout the summer and fall
since a large acreage of vegetables,
especially Irish potatoes, is promised,
the supply viii be relatively shorter
than it has been during the last sea-
son. Farmers should prepare to meet
the shortage. Truck growers who
have manure or who can obtain it will
not feel the shortage so keenIy as
those whom ust depend on CONNER
cial fertilizers.
Manure will supply nitrogen and
limited amounts of other p1ant foods.
1t will also supply organic matter
which truck crops need. However,
it is not advisable to apply raw ma
nure to land Immediately before truck
crops. A. P. Spencer, district agent
for the University of Florida Exten-
sion Division, recommends that stable
manure be well rotted before it is
used on such crops.
Those who expect to use il on Irish
potatoes should let it rot at least six
weeks before planting time. This

OUR AGRICULTURAL DEPAR TMENT


The majority of Florida farmers do
not appreciate the necessity of keep
Eng their soil covered during the hot
GUNNER months for the protection of
the sell from the hot rays Of the sun,
and also to equaIize the heavy rain
falls that occur at intervals during
the summer for at least three months.
In'the Farmers Cooperative DEM
onstration work winter cover crops
have been stressed right along with
good effect. This method of increas-
ing soil fertility and preventing leach
ing of fertility during the winter
rains has amply demonstrated that
where this method is consistently
practiced good results are obtained
right along. The same can be said
of those who practice summer cover
crops. Most Of our spring planted

Select Seed Corn in the Field.

A pedigree for an ear of corn is just
as important asa pedigree for an ami
NAL. Perhaps it is more important
for the corn, because the animal itself
is some indiction of the offspring it
will produce. But the ear of corn is
full of surprises.
Big ears are desirable if they were
produced under conditions similar to
those to which their offspring will be
subjected. If they were grown under
favorable conditions they should be
avoided. Now if the farmer waits un-
til next spring to select his corn he
can select ony for size and apparent
condition of the grain. Most Of the
ears selected from the crib are big
and were produced under favorable
conditions. Such ears probably were
grown on stalks that received an
abundance of food, plenty of moisture
and sunlight.

cans they are worth about twice as
much as they were at the beginning
of the shipping season. Most of the
common vegetables may be canned.
w. L. Floyd, professor Of horticulture
in the University Of Florida College
of Agriculture, mentions few that
may be used: tomatoes, corn, string
beans, lima beans, okra, eggplant,
peppers sweet potatoes, pumpkins,
beets, cauliflower, celery, succotash.
All Of these vegetables are not avail
able now, but those that are should
be canned. The city gardener may
lower his grocery bill considerably
by taking advantage of the excess,
during vegetable seasons.

the writer has ever seen was sown
the first of August, the variety being
the Mammoth Yellow. 1t is a legume
and its ability to restore soil fertility
is equal if not superior to cowpeas.
In fields where watermelons, cucum@
bers, and cantaloupes have been pro-
duced and where cultivation has been
conducted on the level, every farmer
should try to have a hay crop of
some kind to succeed the truck crop,
and one of the best would be German
millet sown along at the last working
of the crop, and if the vines are badly
infested with aphis, or diseases, to
which those crops are subject, it
would be a good idea to rake up all
those vines and dry them and burn
them, which would avoid the disease
next year. Then sow German millet
on that land at the rate of eight to
ten pounds per acre. The seed is
small and should be slightly covered.
If hay rake were used to gather up
the vines no other tool would be nee
essary, but simply sow the seed on
the newly scratched soil left by the
rake, and the rain coming soon would
give all the covering necessary. In
case no rains occurred a brush could
be used to cover the seed.
The idea of summer cover crop
should take more of a hold on the
farmers than it does and in climate
such as we have in Florida it is al
ways best to keep the soil busy, ro-
tating the crops in such a way that
they will not only maintain but in
crease the soil fertility. When farm
ers realize the potential possibilities
of Florida soils they will wake up and
make their lands produce what it is
really an easy matter to do where
the proper methods are used.

crops, such as corn, sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, etc, do not afford the pro-
lection to the soil that do crops spe-
cially planted for soil protection.
After a great many years Of expert
ence and demonstration along this
line of work it has been found that
one of the best cover crops for sum-
mer use is the velvet bean planted
either Immediately after the spring
crop is harvested or after the last
cultivation of the growing crop. Vel
vet beans can be sown in the corn
field, also in the sugar cane field.
These are two crops that lend them
selves most advantageously to the
velvet bean in the middles to avoid
the growth of grass and weeds, which
would be not only detrimental to soil
fertility, but if allowed to make seed
would prove a pest in later years.
Cowpeas have always been a stand
by of the purely southern farmer for
the reason that the cowpea has been
longer in evidence than has the vel
vet bean, but it is liable to get badly
infested with root knot, especially on
sandy soils, which precludes the ex-
tensive use of it. Therefore, on the
flatwoods section and on new lands
of the state cowpeas would perhaps
prove better crop than velvet beans.
On the very fiatwoods of the state
and where the land is subject to over
flow, soy beans have been found a
very profitable crop. They can be
sown very late. One of the best crops

viii give the plant foods time to be-
come available. Celery, lettuce and
other truck crops also respond to rot
ted stable manure.
Manure is not so rich in plant foods
according to its bulk as commercial
fertilizers and consequently more of
it should be applied. Mr.. Spencer
recommends from six to ten tons to
the acre. The amount necessary viii

Weeds Damage Strawberry Plants.

Weeds Damage Strawberry Plants.
Some growers have a notion that
weeds and grass in strawberry beds
are beneficial in that they shade the
plants. 1t is probable that the plants
would be damaged by the hot sun if
they had been accustomed to shade
too long. But weeds should never be
allowed to shade the plants. Clean
culture will give strong vigorous
plants that will produce an early crop
Of berries.
A. r. Spencer, district agent for the
University Florida Extension Divis-
ion, reminds farmers that plants are
taken from a weedy bed and exposed
directly to open field conditions they
will be damaged. Removal from the
shade will be too sudden and they
viii not have time to adjust them
selves to the new conditions. Further
more, such plants cannot be expect
ed to be healthy and vigorous because
they have been shaded and because
the weeds have appropriated most Of
the plant food which should have
gone to the plants.
Fertilizer will not help plants that
have been stunted and smothered by
weeds. The only way to obtain good
plants and to insure an early crop is
to keep the bed clean. Cultivation
should be given throughout summer
to keep them thrifty until planting

Aborn Opera Company Opens
Nationals Season with
Brilliant Rendition Of Wolf
Ferran Composition.
BY THE PLAYGoER.

1t was a brilliant evening for both
singers and audience at the National
Theater last night when the Aborn
English Grand Opera Company sang
Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's "The Jew
els of the Madonna" as if the ex-
quisite score had gone to their heads.
To hear this wonderous work
without a company of unusual excel
lence is quite improbable, so that
the large audience present at the
opera seasons inaugural was a
handsome tribute to the Individual
and collective talent of the Aborn
company.
And it was fully warranted, for
the offering was quite elaborately
staged and admirably sung by Sal
vatore Giordano, as Gennaro, who
steals the Jewels of the madonna to
please Maliella (Bianca Saroya) and
outdo his rival Rafaele-none other
than Louis D'Angelo, the splendid
bakytone of former Aborn seasons.
Blanca Saroya's portrayal OF Maliella
was the embodiment of scoflng, coquet-
tish vivacity. and she sang the part with
much dramatic vigor Mr.. DAngelo
was excellent as Rafaele, particularly in
the unique serenade Of the second act,
which Is the gem OF the score.
The excellent performance Of this DIFF
ficult work-and OF the difficult first act
in particular-gives increasing vogue to
the presentation Of grand aopera in Eng
lish by the Messrs. Aborn, whose annual
offering at the National Theater Of a
