FRUIT RAISING IN FLORIDA.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
Wing is there so little fruit grown
in Florida? The reader will reply,
but there is a great deal of fruit
grown in Florida. | admit that quite
a large quantity of oranges and straw
berries are grown for market, but the
truth is that the greater portion of
farmers grow very little fruit for
home use. 1t is good to have an
abundance of fruit all the time and
here we can have it, God put it here
for us to use. Horticulture was
mans first occupation. We cannot
live healthy and pleasantly without
it. Where it can be grown so easily
and cheaply, there is no excuse for
being without it. l speak from what
know. On our farm, Hill Crest,
near Boardman, we had fruit all the
year round.
With three things supply of fruit
may be had from one year end to the
next
These three things are oranges,
figs and Strawberries. They overlap
each other. Oranges are in season
from November to May. strawberries
from Christmas to July and figs from
July to November. Not all figs bear
ing season is long as the Magnolia.
1t is a large and delicious fig, ripen-
ing from July to frost.
Peaches, pears, grapes and others
do well. AS a general rule the best
peaches, thos of Persian descent,
do not do well here, but there are
substitutes. There are some very
good seedlings said to have been
brought here by the Spaniards. The
most reliable, perhaps. the the honey

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH TO
HELP THE MUNICIPALITIES.

To the Editor Ocala Banner:
The state board of health is i'm.
pressing the fact upon municipalities
throughout Florida that it stands vii
ling to act as foster-parent to them
in their activities to improve health
conditions.
1t is not the function of the board
to perform all of this work for the
municipalities, but to assist and ad.
wise them wherever necessary for
conducting the most efficient efforts
At the present time, Jacksonville
is the only municipality that has a
whole time health officer. although
other cities are performing remark
ably effective work with cooperation
of the state body and the work OF
their part time local health officers.
For instance, Miami is working
with the state authorities by paying
rent for the state laboratory building
there as we'll as standing responsible
for part of the salary of a laboratory
assistant to do municipal milk work.
AS result of this assistance on the
part of the municipality, the work
there is increasing in effectiveness
and the city of Miami is enabled to
derive greater benefits therefrom
While most of the municipalities
can secure locally the services of a
whole or part time health officer, the
state board of health can best CO,
operate and guide their activities by
performing laboratory work and sani-
tary engineering and statistical Ia
bors for them. These features are
necessary to the successful conduct
OF a good health administration.
Through cooperative effort each
municipality can be of service to the
board and receive equal service in its
work from the larger body.
The state board of health is seek.
ing not only to prevent the spread
of diseases by educational work
among the people, but by a concerted
effort throughout the state to lower
the death rate from intestinal and
preventable diseases. To do this con.
ditions conducive to the spread and
development of disease must be re.
moved and kept from existing again.
This can only be accomplished

peaches and many varieties of seed
lings from the Peento, such as Julien
Woldo, Angel and others. These are
the earliest of all peaches in America
and the only kind that is profitably
grown here for market. They come
in ahead of the Georgians. Nothing
is easier than to grow these peaches.
Nurseries furnish the budding stock
at s to % dollars per hundred. Land
having a clay sub-soil is the best for
peaches and of that kind of land there
is plenty around Ocala. Yet no home.
grown peaches are to be seen in
Ocala markets; no grapes; very few
figs and strawberries.
Farmers are surely neglecting their
opportunities.
Every householder with a bit of
land in the back yard can raise his
fruit and what a pleasure it is to
do it. "Sit under your own vine and
fig tree" eat of the fruit of the
ground which may be so profitably,
and pleasantly produced by your own
labor.

SCHOOL BOOKS.

All diligence possible is being used
to supply the school books promptly,
but in a number of cases the de-
pository in Jacksonville has not been
able to get them, which delays their
being gotten in Ocala The dealers

is being used to secure them and the
public is asked to be somewhat pa
tient in case there should be some
book that cannot be had just when
called for.

Real Estate and farm produce are
now recognized as collaterals at the
reserve banks. One of his neighbors,
Mr.. Light said, had just ginned thir-
ty-five bales of cotton, had Put it in
ware house and hat dram upon II
seventy-five cents of its value.
He said that the marketing bureau
had been established to give the far
mers accurate information of what to
plant and what not to plant and when,
where and how to ship
For example he said: 1.-THE county
now has two hundred and ten thou
sand less tons of cabbage than it had
in 1915, and there would be no i'm
portations of foreign cabbage, so the
| marketing bureau would advise the
planting of cabbage, and so on of
other things. If it were ascertained
that there were a superabundance of
any one crop then of course the adj
vice would be not to plant that crop.
Thus regulating what to plant and
when and where to ship, the farmer
would plant and ship with some de-
gree of certainty and trucking would
no longer be a gamble.
He cited a number of illustrations
and his speech was pronounced full of
marrow and meat.
Judge j. R. Wills, of Bronson. gave
magnificent and most sensible talk
on "Good 70 IDS"
He said that Levy had been OPP
posed to issuing bonds for good roads
but was building them under the pro-
vision of the new law That for a
distance of six miles through perhaps
a section of the county where road
material was the most difficult to OBJ.
tain his district had put down six
miles at an average cost of six hun
dred dollars per mile.
His was splendid talk and the
concensus OF opinion Of those who
heard him is that good roads would
soon permeate all sections Of our
neighboring county.
The last speaker before the an
nouncement for dinner was from Mr.
W. T. Gary on Patriotism and the
Red Cross and we have heard few
ADLER, more eloquent and patriotic
speeches.
The young orator quoted from Pat
rick Henry, Scotland's famous bard,
from Henry Grady and Ben Hill, from
Bryan and from the hero of Trafalgar
and the stately and profound utter
ances of our matchless president, and
his speech may well be likened to a
reckless set with pearls and can easily
be pronounced a classic. 1t was soon
seen that he had struck a popular
chord and had caught the ear of the
audience. He had scarcely finished
his exordium before he was given
profound attention and when he con-
cluded he was warmly applauded and
a number congratulated him upon
his splendid effort
The afternoon was given over to
talks by the various members of the
w. o. W. They have a popular order
at Morristown and great benefits
have been derived from it.

HOLDOUTS
FROM MANY STARS
ASCONTRACTSGO

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-That the ma
jor league magnates are going to
have their troubles signing up their
star players for 1918 is the opinion OF
leading baseball men here. They
realize that retrenchment Is coming
under a gentlemen's agreement, and
that many players have already de-
clared war.
Roger Hornsby, star Of the Cardl-
nails. has put in q bid for a $4,000
contract, threatening to quit unless he
gets It. Grover Alexander suggests
that he be given $4,000 as a bonus for
going to the Cubs. These are but be-
ginners.
Very few players have contracts
holding them for next season 1t Is
thought that a wild howl will be
heard when the new contracts are re-
ceived, for almost In every case they
will carry cuts.

OF a man who had a clock golf
course laid out on his front lawn.
He was having his house paint
ed, and one morning the boss
painter came to him and said:
Don't you think you had bet
ter have a real sun dial put on
your lawn"
The owner did not quite see
the drift of the remark. and ask
ed why he should do such a
thing. He received this reply:
well, for half an hour this
morning tried to figure out the
time by that contraptiUn you
have on your front lawn, but no
matter how figured it, couldn't
make head or tail out of It. So
I thought that you might like to
put up a sun dial that everybody
could understand"
