who recently ave traveled owe tho
Sioux Falls and Selma territories re-
port that all small grain has been in
the ground for some days and that
most of it has now appeared above the
groun and is healthy and strong. The
roots are unusually strong because OF
the cool weather during the stooling
period. Many of the farmers now are
in their fields preparing their and for
corn, and one or wv instances are re-
ported in this vicinity where farmers
already have commenced cor planting.
The small grain acreage in McCook
county is much larger than last year
while in this (M~innehaha) county the
greatest increase will be in the corn
acreage, little attention being paid by
mt to small grain. especially
wheat. In the extreme southeastern
section of the state. including Union
county, corn planting now is in full
swing and hundreds Of farmers are
busy in their corn fields getting the
crop into h ground. Recent rains nave
placed the o throughout the state in
excellent condition and Srops of all

What a glorious time We had
When the crowd OF us went to Silver

And we were all half mad
With the glorious ride and the glorious
And the JOY Of that happy load
Made perfect by FlOrida's beautiful
views
And Boy. do you remember
The couple we met on the way,
Who were broken down and mourning
silver Springs were SO far away?"
And you helped them out of their trou-
And the Springs" they beckoned
And the miles seemed short with you

For you drive with right good will.
And, Boy, do you remember,
When Ocalla. the beautiful, came into
A city SO lovely our hearts were glad,
Her flag was our glorious red, white
and blue.
Just a brief stop here to fill our eyes
Then on to the Springs, just two miles
And our feet wereon sandy ground.
But how can 1 tell you the wondrous
That filled my soul with awe?
or the bubbling springs and the beauti-
with its people of fin and clan?
Through the glass bottomed boat
We gazed below to the depths OF

Whose sides were CLEAN with glitter
Its Beauty too great to tell.
spellbound we gazed through the water
At those beauties so wondrously
strange,
Till our boatman moved US slowly away
From that wondrous well, with Its
This is the Bridal Chamber" just be-
Tuil eighty feet to that glistening
While where we are it's hardly seven,
Never thought to be any more.
Thus our boatman, while we gazed
At the room spread out to our view,
With it's broad entrance hall, tall col
umns each side,
Its floor of rainbow hue.
Through that wondrously beautiful sub.
The lakes people hoated their way;
And we who were looki found that

The shy lake trout, the long slim eel,
The sword fish too, most rare,
or fishes there seemed to be surely
enough,
Even silver and gold ones there.
And Boy, do you remember.
How silent the group that hoVered
there?
A spell was on; seemed a holy place,
That slimpsed us beauties so rare.
But our boatman slowed us away to
land,
We awoke as from a dream,
To part with our guide his boat of glass,
And all that we had seen.
And. Boy, do you remember
How the rain came pouring down
AS we sped along over Florida's roads
TO Mt. Dora, homeward bound?
And the rain it was just a fitting close,
We enjoyed every bit of the way;
Twas 4 glorious time and Il glorious end
to q charming Florida day.
Oh. Florida. land of compelling charm,
OF beauty beyond compare,
May no flag but ours, the flag OF the free
Ever float DER your cities fair
While the boats upon your lovely lakes
Float ever the red, the white and the

While the men and women upon your
