MARION AND ALACHUA MAKING
GOOD

A trip to Gainesville yesterday by
automobile convinces US that Marion
and Alachua counties. when the crops
are all garnered, will have made
splendid response to the presidents
proclamation and Mr.. Hoover's ap-
peals to plant foOdstuffs as matter
of patriotism. aside from consdera-
tons of commercialism prompted by
the high prices for nearly everything
now grown upon the farm.
Despite the long season OF dry
weather, which at one time threaten
ed seriously to lessen the yield the
corn crops are making a magnificent
showing.
Peanuts and potatoes. cowpeas and
velvet beans, sorghum and sugar cane.
and other crops are in fine shape. and
an abundant hay crop is anticipated
A large acreage in both counties is
planted to cotton, and not in forty
wears will there have been harvested
such big crop of the fieecy staple.
Besides these staple crops more at
tention apparently is being paid to the
growing of hogs~and cattle. Along
this line all previous efforts will be
broken
The stocks are greatly improved,
and all are in splendid shape. 1t real
ly does ones eyes good to look upon
the large herds grazing not only on
the open ranges but on the inside of
Enclosures.
Barnyard fowls seem also plentiful
We saw a number of focks of guineas
and quite a number of quail crossed
the road in front of US, which is evi-
dence that the hunters will have some
sport when the season opens.
Alachua has issued good roads
bonds in the sum of half million dol
lars, and soon she will climb from the
foot to the head of the class in good
road building. and it will be possible
easily to lessen the distance between
the twin cities. which can now be
made in less than two hours
Besides building a Carnegie library,
almost an exact duplicate of our pref.
ty little building. which has attracted
widespread attention. Gainesville is
quite busy at the university grounds
