PREPARE NOW FOR
EARLY VEGETABLES.

Folks Of North and Central Florida
who like early vegetables should build
n. cold frame in which to start the
plants. Such vegetables as tomato.
egg plant and peppers for early trans
planting may he started in this way.
W. L. Floyd Of the University Of
Florida College of Agriculture gives
the following directions for making
the frame: A frame by 10 feet
will accommodate four hotbed sashes,
3 by G fet. This will he large enough
for the ordinary home garden. 1t
should he built on light well drained
soil either level or sloping gently
south.
The frame ought to he 16 to 20 inch
es high on the north and 8 to 10 inches
on the south. The soil should he en-
riched with well rotted manure and
commercial fertilizer. Do not make
the soil ms rich as that into which the
plants are TO he planted If it Is richer
the plants will become stunted when
they are transplanted, while If It is
not so rich they will continue growth
unchecked.
Plants tarted in this way will grow
slowly so that by the time danger
from frost is over they will be about
the right size to plant out. The glass
should be raised on warm days so
that fresh air and sunshine will be adj
mitted A little ventilation is neces-
sary every day.
If one cannot afford the glass, I'M
bleached muslin may be used instead.
This should be attached to the north
side permanently and fastened on the
south side and ends so that it can be
readily removed when warm day
comes. Unless cold threatens, the
cover may be left off at night. The
high north side will ward off consider
able cold wind.

GOVERNOR STUART
Approves the Military Rule in the
Town of HOpewell.

Richmond. Va, Dec. 31.-After a
conference with Adjutant General
Sale and Major Bowles, commanding
the state troops at the burned town
Of Hopewell, Governor Stuart sent e.
Secretary of War Lansing a comr'mi-
cation in which the military rule at
Hopewell was approved. The message
resulted from the action of Russian
colonists at Hopewell in addressing n
protest to the Russian ambassador at
Washington against the bayonetting
Of a Russian named Schale during
military raid on an alleged blind tig-
ger on December %.
Referring to this incident, Governor
Stuart said in his communication to
Secretary lansing:
"You will observe that the act COM
planned OF is only indicative Of the
purpose Of the civil and military au-
tborities now on duty at Hopewell to
uphold law and order and protect the
good citizenship of the community.
whether native or foreign, from the
consequences of lawlessness. The sit
uation at Hopewell is very difficult
one and requires stern methods OF
control. No Russian or any other for
eigner has any just cause to doubt
the purpose of the Officers in charge
at Hopewell to make them secure in
their employment and in the home Of
their adoption, or to fear any bodily
danger, unless brought about by vio-
lent resistance to constituted author
ity."

GRAPEFRUIT is PROFITABLE.

A gentleman said to the News re-
porter a few days ago, 81 am a care
full reader of your paper, and regard
all that you say in regard to the pos
sibilities of southern Florida as be-
ing stated most conservatively, indeed.
l believe all your statements can be
easily verified" The gentleman is cor
rect. We make no statements that
we do not know personally to be true,
or that are not made by men In whom
every one has the highest confidence.
While out yesterday the reporter in
terviewed a gentleman who has
grove, planted partly to orange trees
and partly 10 grape fruit trees. He
has sold his grape fruit and told us
the results Of his sales. His grape
fruit trees are ten years old, and he
said these averaged him little over
$1,000 per tree for this years fruit.
Counting fifty trees to the acre. this
makes an income Of $500 on each
acre set to grape fruit. The cost Of
fertilizer and other expenses did not
exceed $4,000 per acre. thus leaving
clear profit at the rate Of S7GO. %
per acre. But YOU should bear in
mind this Is not his first crop. for two
years ago this same grove brought
him little over $4,000 per tree, and
oven last year, the worst ever known
IN the history of citrus fruit culture,
the grape fruit averaged nearly $1,000
per tree.
This Is by no means an isolated
case. for It is not an uncommon thing
for groves to do even better than the
above. or course not all groves have
any such bearing capacity, hut every
thing considered. we believe the bus
iress will not only compare favorably
with other endeavors, but that it pre-,
sents the hest opportunities for safe
and profitable investments that can
be found anywhere, north or south.

MR.. l.. ID. JONES,
OF CITRUS EXCHANGE.

According to Mr.. l.. ID. Jones,
manager of the Florida Cltrls Ex-
change, the season has been good and
the outlook for the remainder If the
season is bright Mr.. Jones I'm speak
ing to a Tampa Times reporter said (:
"This is one of the best seasons we
have had in many years. From the
opening until the holiday period there
hasn't been a day when the markets
have been excited, and there hasn't
been glut of any kind, either at
Thanksgiving or Christmas. While
the prices inclined downward from
the opening of the season to some ex-
tent, yet the market has been fairly
active during the shipping period.
The fruit market was just as active
one week after Thanksgiving ms It
was the week before, and orders are
now coming in for oranges at 81. 20
Z. o. b., and grape fruit at 50. 30.
There was no accumulation in the
market at Christmas, and barely suf-
ficient to fiji the orders. There is no
accumulation of Florida fruit I'm any
market. The distribution Of Florida
fruit is the best ever known. The EX-
change packing houses will be open
and in full blast by January 10. Half
of the fruit has already gone from
the market and very high prices will
prevail when the movement starts.
No doubt prices will be higher than
for a number of years.
This season has been remarkable
also from the absence Of decay in
fruit. There has been practically no
complaint on this score"
According to Mr.. Jones the EX-
change will be practically in control
of the market from now on, the small
err independent shippers having al
ready sent the bulk Of their fruit in.
The crop is shorter than usual this
year and the production of seedlings
has been considerably overestimated.

GERMAN EFFICIENCY
Due to Roofing Out of the Idle and
Rich Glasses.


Washington, Dec. 81 .-Germany's
greater efficiency as compared with
Great Britain and France in the pres
ent war" william English walllng.
of New York, told the American So
Geological Society in session here, IT'S
due to the fact that in Germany par
asitical classes have been largely done
away with, and that has led to rela-
tive industrial superiority.
81 believe the influence Of autocrat-
ic and class controlled German state
on the industry Of that country has
probably already done as much harm
as good. But all the harm that has
been done the government Of Germa-
ny by junkers is more than compen-
stated for by the pernlcious influence
and dead weight Of the enormous and
firmly rooted wealthy classes Of Great
Britain and France.
Largely idle or dilettantes at hest,
and in almost every instance given
over 70 foolish and uns ocial extrava-
gances Of colossal dimensions, they
have absorbed a very large part Of
the nations income and industrial
power. Political democracy has not
failed in. these countries; it has not
known what to do with its success. "

FLORIDA A GOOD ROADS STATE.


Florida is the champion good roads
state Of the Union. This state has
built millions Of dollars' worth Of
roads within the past two years, and
additional millions will be spent for
this purpose in 1915.
Five counties out Of twenty-five
In Florida spent 1901 900 on the Dixie
Highway in the past six months, ac-
cording to the report by states, just
out, on the amount spent on the high
way. Alone in fifty counties the sum
Of $1,7G5,2O0 was spent in this short
time. However, the result is that
miles and miles of good. permanent
roads have been constructed. These
counties are now preparing to spend
SG.031 900 in the next twelve months.
In the report It is stated that the
spending Of this huge sum may seem
preposterous and out Of reason to the
HHilltiaNSh' itl NHOu lllt SlulcllleUl
is itemized by counties the reasonable
ness Of it can plainly be seen. The
amount is divided by states. as fol-
lows:
Illinois, S1.25OOOO.
Ohio, S1,2O4 600.
Tennessee. 1924 900.
Indiana. $4,000.
Kentucky. S7G5,0OO.
Georgia, $751; 900.
Florida, s2,5O5OOO.
The bond issues which have been
voted in Florida alone in the past
six months Is now in excess Of s6,OO0.-
900. The majority Of these counties
are traversed by the Dixie Highway,
and the highway will receive a good
ly portion of It. 1t can be conserva-
lively stated that within the next six
months this bond issue will be dou-
bled as far as the state of Florida Is
concerned. Bond elections for the
month OF January will he called to
vote on over 100000 in bonds.
From the reports received from the
fifty counties over 367 miles in these
counties are either paved now or con-
tracted for, using either concrete, as
phalt or brick. From a survey Of the
entire highway on the basis of the re-
ports submitted, It is safe to say a
seventh, or over GOO miles OF the en-
tire mileage Of the Dixie Highway is
paved. BY the end of 1916 over 800
miles will have been added and that
the close of 1917 will see at least n
third Of the entire mileage n paved
road on the very lowest possible cs-
innate.
This is not taking into consideration
the effect that through travel over the
highway in the meantime will have in
getting counties to pave their section
with concrete or some permanent ma
terial. w. W. Mari chief state high
way engineer of Illinois, states that
within two years the entire mileage
Of 1856 miles in his state will he paw
ed. County officials in the Ohio
counties between Toledo and Cincin-
natl state that the entire distance Of
about 900 miles will be paved.
Mr.. Carl G. Fisher is Of the opin-
ion that the entire mileage between
Jacksonville and Miami, totalng 800
miles, will he paved. There will he
over 300 miles of paved road on the
western division in Florida. Other
counties between Illinois and Florida
are now putting in permanent roads.
The effect Of the steady stream of
tourist travel over the highway will
materially increase the mileage, so
that the estimate given may he con-
sidered very conservative. -Daytona
