A Letter From The South.

Sarasota. Manatee County. Florida,
February IL. 1917.
DEAR SENTINEL II thought you would
like to hear from one Of your readers who
has just experienced how it feels to 90
from zero weather to midsummer
When we left Rockville on the morning Of
the 18th instant and for SO hours travelled
1900 miles, nearly due south. through the
States Of Virginia. North and South Caro-
lima and Georgia to what is known as"The
Sarasota Bay District" Of Florida. we were
wearing warm winter clothing. Riding in
heated cars all the way until we arrived
at Jacksonville, Fla. on the East coast,
little did we realize that the temperature
outside was gradually rising from zero
weather to 10 degrees. The trip was I'M
eventful and the scenery along the Sea
Board Air Line Railroad rather monoto-
nous. As we went through North Carolina,
seeing the beautiful pine trees. we were
reminded of the toast to the "Old Tar
Heel State"
Here's to the land Of the Long Leaf Pine,
The summer land. where the sun doth
shine.
The land where the weak grow strong, and
the strong grow great;
Here's to The Down Home the old North
State"
As we went Marching Through Georgia"
the train stopped at an inland station, we
sauntered out on the platform. Beneath
a tall pine tree stood lean animal, with
scraggy bristles. We were interested
What do you call that ?" we asked Of a
"a lanky cracker" "Razor-back hawe. 4"
well. what's he doing rubbing against
that treei" Hes stropping hisself. Mis-
ter jest stropping hisself." He was actu-
ally so thin that he could drink out Of
jug.
When we arrived at Sarasota, Fla, which
is about 20 miles below Tampa. we found
children barefooted. everybody outdoors
wearing summer clothes, and the young
people of Sarasota in fancy costumes,
dancing on the streets at 10 O'Clock at
night. Sarasota is situated on Sarasota
Bay. an arm of the Gulf Of Mexico, on the
West coast IL has population of about
two thousand, and has grown mostly in
the last five years. 1t has two banks, a
large public school building costing S5O.-
600. several fine hotels and fifteen miles
OF paved streets. Ii is projected on a
liberal plan, and being in the Sarasota Bay
District, with its equabe climate, is des-
tined to be the great winter resort and
pleasure grounds for the weather. classes
Of the whole United States Persons come
here from California New York and the
Middle West every winter. Mrs. Potter
Palmer. the Ringing Brothers. the Honores
Of Chicago, and Edison Keith. own show
places near Sarasota.
Whilst the gardeners and fruit Growers
have been hit pretty hard. the older orange
and grapefruit trees have not been killed,
and most Of them will bear again this
year. Under the rules Of the Fruit Growers.
Association no damaged fruit can be
shipped This is done to keep up the
standard Of the Florida fruits.

Farm Demonstration Notes.

Assistant State Forester, E. r. Ford,
spent one day last week with County Agent
Van Hoesen in looking over some woodlot
propositions for Geo. r. Bliss, of Glenmont.
On Monday last he was again in the county
on the farm of W. Everett Brown, of
Brighton. The State Forester can be of
service not only in the cutting of mature
timber and reforesting of waste lands, but
also in marketing your timber product.
An official estimate will give you the
market value Of your timber so that the
price will not need to be left to the biased
judgment Of the interested buyer. Several
requests for future work have been booked.
Division meetings of the MONTGOMERY
County Dairymen's Association were held
last week at Rockville, Gaithersbure and
Sandy Spring. Meetings will be held later
at Germantown and Boyd These meet
ines will be followed up by a canvass of
the county for the purpose Of enrolling
every milk producer interested in better
market conditions and living profit for
his product. Great interest is being shown
In the movement. A strong local organi-
cation is the best possible assurance for
the future of the business, and that is lust
what Montgomery county is going to have.
Pruning demonstrations were held last
week in the orchards Of DR.. F. c. Weber,
Bethesda Jas. L. Burdette, Woodfeld,
and 5. p. Thomas, Ashton, Prof. Shaw as
sisting at the latter place. 1t will soon be
time for the lime-sulphur dormant spray.
II supplies are not already at hand, they
should be ordered at once, on account OF
the uncertainties Of prompt delivery.
The Pomona Grange and subordinate
grange lecturers of the county were en-.
tertained at luncheon last Saturday By
Mrs. F. j. Van Hoesen. The work of thu
lecturers hour was discussed and plan,
considered for increasing grange efficienc,
during 1917.
County Agent Van Hoesen received {
post card last week with no writing what
ever on the back, and the post-mark en-
tirely illegible. Some one will be wonder.
ing why this card receives no attention
There's a reason.
Members Of 0lney and Brighton Oranges
attended the meeting Of the new Travilal
Grange last week and assisted in the in
stallation Of its officers.
Swine and sheep husbandry are the
short course topics discussed at the Stat,
College of Agriculture next week, Februar,
26th to March 3rd.
County Agent Van Hoesen has jus
secured fine registered Ayrshire bull cal
from the Experiment Station herd for Mr.
VIM. Waters, Of Germantown.
