THE COUNTY FAIR
Was a Great and Gratifying
Success

The DeSoto County Fair, which
was held in Arcadia on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of last
week, was such a success as
should inspire with pride every
citizen and especially those who
were in charge as managers. The
latter, the men and ladies who did
the work, who got up the exhibits
and put them in place, deserve
the highest praise. They accom-
plished the unexpected, and the
result was surprise to every
county citizen who attended the
fair. With barely ten days in
which to work, it was really as
tonishing that such compre-
hensive and magnificent exhibit
was secured and presented,
This exhibit included practi-
cally everything made or produc-
ed within the county,-fruits,
vegetables, farm products, stock
and poultry, home-canned eata-
bles, mechanical devices, native
fish, school exhibits, women S
handiwork and many other things
all showing the greatness of the
county, its varied industries and
its wonderful advantages.
The conclusion of every one
who attended the fair is, that, if
such a great exhibit can be col
lected and displayed in ten days
time, thirty days work would
have made it equal to a state fair.
Prizes were awarded immedi-
ately upon the conclusion Of the
fair. Those won by exhibitors
from Charlotte Harbor and Punta
Gorda are as follows;

versity of Florida College of Ag-
riculture, reminds users of fertil.
izers that the potash in hardwood
ashes frequently runs extremely
low. Some ashes have no more
than one-fourth of one percent,
These ashes are sometimes offered
for $40 to $15 a ton. At this
rate the potash costs the grower
in the neighborhood of $40 unit.
Two years ago a unit cost about
81. The price of a unit of potash
in mixed fertilizers is far less
than it is in ashes, and it is adj
visable for growers to buy the
mixed fertilizers if they can be
had.
The average saw palmetto ash
es contain only about Its per
cent potash owing to the large
content of sand and inert mater
ial. Pure saw palmetto ashes run
many times higher in potash. The
amount in other wood ashes var
les considerably with the amount
of foreign material which they
contain.
Citrus growers have formerly
used large quantities of potash,
even more than was necessary. 1t
is probable that they can get a.
long on smaller quantities, and
the high price makes one doubt
the ACCESSIBILITY of using any in
excess of the minimum require
ment of trees.

Lime and Humus Work Mutually

Humus is perhaps the one
greatest need of the average soil
of Florida, according to S. S.
Walker, associate chemist to the
University of Florida Experiment
Station. This is due to the rapid
oxidation of organic matter and
the open nature of the soil which
admits free teaching. Every farm
er should keep these facts in
mind and plan his crop rotations
to include at least one crop, pref
erably legume such as cowpeas,
velvet beans or beggarweed, that
can be turned under to add or
ganic matter to the land.
Mr.. Walker recommends, how
ever, that lime be used in the
plan. Lime is important, first,
because legumes, the most desir-
able green manure crops, will not
make good growth on a sour soil ;
second, because the organic ma
terial will not decompose rapidly
or normally in the soil unless
lime is present, nor will the i'm
portant nitrifcation processes
proceed normally. And finally,
even though the legumes grow on,
and decay readily in, an acid soil,
the "acid" humus thus formed is
easily leached and lost; whereas,
Ihumus formed in the presence of
lime is a stable and relatively in
soluble substance. Furthermore,

Patroness of Music.

The origin of music is lost in an
dquity. Among civilized people it is
probably to be traced to the ancient
Egyptian priests. who employed this
art in their religious rites and cere-
monies. From the Egyptians the
Greeks and the Romans derived their
knowledge of music. The ancient He
brews probably took with them into
Palestine some of the songs they had
learned in Egypt The hymns used in
the temple formed the basis of the
melodies of the early Christian church,
and from these hymns was formulated
the first authoritative musical system.
st. Cecilia is termed the patroness of
music.-Exchange.
