The time arises in the case of any
alfalfa field when there is nothing left
to do but plow 1t up. AS a rule, it can
be maintained in good condition with
proper care and management for a pc
riod OF about five years. AS 1t is one OF
the most important and valuable crops
which can possibly be raised on a dairy
farm, it would seem wise to again SEED
this area to alfalfa as soon as possible.
This Of course could not be done until
next fall with any degree of satisfac-
ton.
There is no reason why you should
not use the land to good advantage by
turning over and subsoiling and sowing
to wheat, though you will need to has
ten your operations In order to get the
wheat i'm before II is too late to make
as good a return as you should anticl-
pate. Land which has been devoted TO
alfalfa should be fairly well supplied
with. nitrogen and if you fertilize liber-
ally with acid phosphate, say at tho
rate of 800 pounds, you should havs
a reasonable expectation Of securing a
good crop Of wheat. The land should
then be planted to cowpeas to be turned
under and alfalfa sown early next fall
At least two tons of lime should be
applied before the eowpeas are planted

The best and most effective means OF
Ighting the boil weevil is to pillow under
he stalks Immediately you have picked
z crop. Do not delay a day longer than
s absolutely necessary. Remember
that the stalks should be buried at least
four inches deep. This is a matter Of
lie utmost Importance. IF you bury the
talks at once you will destroy a very
large number of weevils that would
otherwise hibernate and come out early
m the spring to attack next years crop.
. suggest also that you keep down your
cotton acreage to about ten acres to
the pillow. This would, Of course, mean
hat you secure early maturing varieties
and among these are the following:
College No. 1, Trice, Cleveland Big Boil,
sunbeam, Hooper's, Meadows and Gov
ington Toole.
The only long staple upland cotton
" hlch is likely to prove satisfactory is
what is known as Weber's 40. You
should plant your cotton at the earliest
possible date next spring. Cultivate
,hallow end rapid so as to force growth
and development. Fertilize quite liDer-
ally, but do not use an excessive amount
of nitrogen. Emphasize phosphoric
acid. however as this happens to hasten
.hc maturity of cotton more than any
other single element that you can use.

If the fire bell should ring you run
and stop it or go and help to put out
the fire? 1t is much the same way
with cough. A cough is danger
signal as much as a fire bell. You
should no more try to suppress it than
to stop a fire bell when 1t is ringing,
but should cure the disease that
causes the coughing. This can nearly
always be done by taking Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. Many have
used it with the most beneficial re-
suits. 1t is especially valuable for
the persistent cough that so often
follows bad cold or an attack of the
grip. Mrs. Thomas Beeching, An
drews, Ind, writes: During the VIM

Cough Remedy is the best medicine

Miss LyOn's Death.

News of the death of Miss Eva
Lyon, which was brought to the peo-
pie of this place last week through
the Palatka News, created profound
sorrow among the large circle of
friends, the church and other organi-
cations Of which Miss Lyon had long
been affiliated. Miss Lyon had lived
her winter seasons in Crescent City
since she was little girl, and her
charming personality, her kindness
OF heart and generally lovable dispo-
sition had made her favorite among
all with whom she came in contact.
At joint meeting of the Parish
Guild and the Chancel Guild of the
Church of the Holy Comforter, held
on Monday, Dec. 4th, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, death has taken from
US our beloved member, Miss Eva
Lyon, and
Where as, in losing her the church
and the guilds have lost an efficient,
faithful, consistent member and the
community at large one whose FIN
character and beautifully unselfsh
life commanded the love and respect
Of all who came in contact with her,
therefore
Be it resolved, that we, the Parish
Guild and the Church Guild of Holv
Comforter Church do hereby record
our great sorrow over this loss, our
deep regard for her who has gone
from amongst us, and our sympathy
for the mother so grievously bereft;
and
Be it further resolved, that these
resolutions shall be placed upon tn"
records of both guilds, that copies be
sent to the Palatka News and the
Church Herald, and copy sent to
the sorrow stricken mother.

Forty Percent Seeding Oranges.

1t will be remembered that the
Citrus Seminar at the University of
Florida in October, decided to stand
ardize citrus varieties. This action
was a result of an appeal made by
Leo B. Scott of the United States
Bureau Of Plant Industry. Mr.. Scott
said that the Florida citrus industry
was suffering because of lack of stan
dardlzation and that the fruit was dis
criminated against in the market be-
cause customers could not depend
upon the grade of fruit.
1t will also be remembered that a
committee was appointed to select
the orange varieties which should
be standardized and that the Semi
mar approved their choice. The va
rieties selected were Parson Brown,
Homosassa, Pineapple, Valencia and
Lou Gin Gong.
That an attempt to standardize va
rieties Yves wise is shown by a sur
vey made by the United States Bu-
reau of Crop Estimates. This sur
vey was undertaken to learn the per-
centages of trees of the different va
rieties. C. C. Hare, field agent for
the Bureau in Florida calls attention
to the report:
The percentages of trees of bear
ing age of the different varieties are
as follows: Homosassa 90 percent;
King 20; Lou Gin Gong 2; Parson
Brown 3; Pineapple 1876; Ruby Blood
%; seeding 40; Tangerine 3; Valeln-
cia (Tardiff) II; all others combined
22.6.
Note that forty percent of the
bearing trees are seedlings.
Growers who are setting groves
have evidently seen the light since
they are setting fewer seedlings, tho
there are far too many still. The fol-
lowing are the percentages of the diff
ferent varieties not of bearing age:
Homosassa or per cent; King OS;
Lou 6; Parson Brown 7; Pineapple
26; Ruby Blood 2.6; Seeding ST.;
Tangerine 7; Valencia 34; all others
combined 9.2.
The trend toward standardization
in young groves is encouraging, but
it will be several years before the
standard varieties will over top the
seedlings. But when the fruit is
standardized, there will be a scram-
BILE among growers of some seedlings
for better varieties, because their pro-
duct will be outlawed.

Loss of Fertilizers by Leaching.

Every citrus grower in the state
should be interested in new publi-
cation that will be issued soon by the
University of Florida Experiment
Station. This is Bulletin 1872, Loss of
Fertilizers by Leaching, by S. E. Col
lison, chemist, and S. S. Walker, as
sociate chemist. 1t contains the re-
suits of four years of experiments in
fertilizer teaching.
The experiments were conducted
with citrus trees in soil tanks on the
Station grounds. While the bulletin
will be of primary interest to citrus
growers it will also be of interest to
every fertilizer user in the state.
The teaching processes in general
are somewhat the same and the dis
coveries made in these experiments
are indicative of what may be expect
ed with other crops.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
by writing to the mailing clerk Ex-
pertinent Station Building, Gaines
vile. 1t will be sent to all persons
whose names are on the mailing list.

their charge.
81 never was subjected to such dirty
and inexcusable attack as this" declared
Doctor Biederwolf.
In response to the question what he
did with his money. Doctor Blederwolf
said: Here is where these umprlncipled
ours have barked up the wrong tree Last
year my income was around $4,000 Out
of that I paid $1,000 on my pledge to give
s1lOOO to the endowment fund of the
Family Altar League and $4,000 to Vino
ma College This, with some small sums
given to other benevolences, shows where
my money went. I understand Wheeler,
as Councilman, got S2500 n year salary;
/ now offer that If did not give 30 times
as much to Gods work last year as he,
then 1 will give him the whole of the
free-will offering which I am to receive
from the people of Allentown at the end
of this campaign"
Doctor Biederwolf declared that this
free-will offering was the only pay he
was to receive
He sprung a surprise by declaring that
he himself was Socialist, His detrac
tors. he said, were anarchists
After Doctor Bederwolf had assailed
them In the afternoon, Wheeler and Will
tams came to the services in the evening.
From the pulpit Doctor Biederwolf adj
dressed them by name. told them that
what he said about them was not half
rough enough, and that he challenged
them to meet him after the services either
Inside the tabernacle or on the street.
The audience went wild over this chal- |
lenge to physical combat which Wheeler |
and Williams did not accept.
The audiences were worked up to a |
tremendous pitch, and the reply of the |
people of Allentown TO the attack on the |
evangelist were contributions, in one day, |
Of $1,000, which, with previous collections, |
Is enough to finance the campaign.
In three weeks Doctor Biederwolf |
preached to upwards Of 10000 people, and |
approximately 1900 have hit the trail.

Councilman Robert Wheeler and David

"Unprincipled ours and liars" were some

names from the pulpit. before two audi

tor Biederwolf said the tabernacle cost
$500 and that the S2025 received from its
sale had already been deducted from the
expenses of the campaign and that the
sale price would not go into his pocket.

an assertion that the Council of Federal

In taking up his various headings, ne

make a direct attack. The theatre was
considered by the evangelist as TO the
character Of the playgoers, the character
Of the players and the character OF the
plays presented.
"The theatre -goers," said Doctor Lyon,
"are the hardest class of people to win
TO Jesus Christ. They have become so
accustomed to having their emotions
awakened without any proper channel for
the expression of those emotions that at
last they become like an extinct volcano,

TRENTON. n. J.. Jan. 2S-"Billy"
Sunday said last night that If he were
God he would strike dead all of those
who damned and belched out their pro-
families against His holy name.
Two hundred hit the trail and hundreds
of men, women, boys and girls asked
the evangelist to Include in his talk with
the Lord. prayers for their husbands,
wives, brothers. sisters, sons and best
fellows.
Billy was showered with gifts again
last night. BY this time the evangelist
has amcnG his presents at least one Of

II don't think there is anything in the
world that Is not made in Trenton. 1t
is simply astounding the number of
things you people turn out here he said.

Yesterday gave him a most novel gift
They asked the evangelist If they could
equip a complete bathroom in his Winona
Lake home. and will send men there to
do the work. "Blly" told the people
how much he thought of their gifts, but
it would be finer if they would give
their lives to Christ and come forward
and take his hand. Many workmen from
the potteries and mills hit the trail last
night.

will not take care of them. The average
