Fertilizer For 1916.

At a meeting of the Farmers union
of Newberry county at the court house
Saturday, January 8, the following
subjects were discussed:
''What Shall We Use as Substitute
for (commerciaD Potash?"
The subject was very ably handled
by Mr.. ]. L. Keitt, pointing out the
various sources of potash. The follow
ing sources were stressed.
1. Wood ashes contain a large per
cent of potash and farmers should
save and distribute them where most
needed.
2. Make and save all the stable ma
nure possible.
This is very important, and every
farmer should Try to make double the
usual quantity this year. A small
amount in the drill under cotton will
help to unlock the potash in the soil
and render it available for the plan
and will give most beneficial results.
8. Turn under all the litter you can.
If your soil has been depleted of veg
etble matter it will materially help
your crop to rake up half rotten leaves
and straw and put it on land before
planting, either in drill or broadcast.
The next subject, upon What Lands
Can We Profitably Use Ground Phos-
phate Rock?" was discussed by DR..
w. c. Brown and others.
After thorough discussion and look
ing up results of different experiment
stations and from the experiences of
those who had used floats" it was
decided that, for immediate results,
ground phosphate rock will not pay.
Or very poor soil, deficient in hu-
mus, it will rot pay at all. On fresh
land or land we'll filled with humus
you can expect reasonable results the
first year, but the ground phosphate
rock should be applied as early as
possible.

NO DRY BATTERIES.
They Al: Contain Moisture or They
Would Be Useless.


So called dry batteries are in common
use for small electric call bell systems
and private telephone lines and were
used extensively for ignition on earlier
makes of automobiles. Applying the
word dry" to the battery is mislead-
ing. for there is no such thing as a
dry" battery. There never was, nor
will there ever be-
If it were dry no current would
generate, as it requires moisture to pro-
duce chemico-electric activity when
the circuit is completed from the plus
to the minus elements.
The so called dry battery is really an
Enclosed wet battery" which retains
its moisture to its limit of life, wheth-
er in service or not. The limit Of life
depends on the stored capacity, how
frequently the circuit is applied to it,
evaporation due to age and deteriora-
ton of the conducting elements.
The battery consists Of zinc cylin-
der case containing q carbon in the
center, the intervening space filed in
with a paste compound of one part
zinc oxide, one part sal ammoniac,
three parts plaster of paris and two
parts water. The quantities are great
er as the capacity of the battery is in
creased.
AS soon as a circuit is completed a
chemical combination is started, and
the current flows from the internal
part Of the zinc to the carbon, then
out from the carbon to the appliance
and returns to tAe zinc. The external
terminals of the battery are the re
verse of the internal
When the battery is exhausted it can
be recharged by sending current into
it from close circuit battery, such as
nitric or sulphuric acid cell Pour
ing water through u small hole at the
top of the battery is an aid to the re-
turn of its life, but neither this nor
the former will restore the battery to
its original efficiency. - New York

OCALA BANK DEPOSITS
CONTINUE TO INCREASE

Deposits in the banks of Ocala con-
tinue to increase. Deposits in the
Ocala National, the Munroe & Cham
bliss National, and the Commercial
banks have increased over S280,00O
since September Of last year. This is
evidence of this sections ability to re-
cover from the conditions brought
about by the war, which caused the
closing down of a number of the large
in dustries. Marion county, more
over, is harvesting a bumper corn
crop which will doubtless add to de-
posts, not to mention cotton and
other crops, and the partial reopening
of some of the manufactures that
were closed.
On September II, 1915, the deposits
| in the Munroe & Chambliss National
Bank amounted to S401, 623.98, and or
September II, 1916, the deposits If
the same bank were SSH, 749.02, ar
increase for the year of $40, 125.04

regard Jack as an enemy of Ocala.
But we have heard the same story
from others than Jack. And several
of our own business men have confess
ed some of the things he spoke of not
only months but years before he
wrote the letter. Jack is a pretty
wise old scout, and voiced the opinions
of many people in his part of the
county He is not an enemy to Ocala.
He was simply trying to pull the sack
off it's head.
We all know that Gainesville has
better freight rates than Ocala, so it
should not be violent shock to be
told that Gainesville can underselI
Ocala, and it is only logical to sup
pose that she is doing so.
All advantages that Gainesville. has
over this town can be overcome by
energetic cooperation on the part of
our business men. There is not any
reason why the town should not have
practically the same freight rate.
| There is only forty miles difference,
and that difference, unless unfair adj
| vantage is taken, will make very lit
| tie difference in a car of freight. The
| trouble is that the roads are disposed
to take all the advantage they can.
Once in awhile, our people make a
kick on this. Then they relapse and
| accept conditions for months and
| years. They fight by spasms and not
steadily and unanimously.
| And, as we have told our people
many times, and as they know with
out telling, they are neglecting-at
present, they are absolutely ignoring
their main channel of relief, the
Oklawaha river.
! The business done by the Carmi-
chael freight boat under considerable
disadvantages shows plainly what the
business men of the city could do for
themselves if they would. The boat
was not so well calculated as it should
have been for that river. 1t draws too
much water and hasn't enough space
in proportion to its engine power. But
it carried lot of freight, and it is
suicidal to let it remain tied up now
when the river is high. Our merchants
could get together and put couple of
stern wheelers, for which the water
would never be too low, on the river.
and keep them busy the year round
They would give the town an advant-
age that no other town in this part of
Florida could cope with.
Some few people may criticise the
Star for talking out in meeting about
these things. But the Star has the ap-
probation of the large majority, and
even if it hadn't, it would be it's duty
to speak.
/ We confidently expect to hear, OF
see, in the next day or so, that the
Star says that all the country people
are down on Ocala and Gainesville and
Palatka are taking all Ocala's trade
So we guess we had better say in adj
vance that we haven't said any such g
blank thing. Ocala holds the goodwill
of most of the people in her territory
and has most of their trade. But the
| people have some reason of complaint
and think they have more, and some
trade is going to other towns that we
could have if we went after it. AnG
we are not doing what we could an6
should do to obtain better freight
rates. The Star wants all reason fol
complaint removed, and wants Ocals
to have all that is coming to her.
| And now eff this be treason make
the most of it."
