Organize for Best Results What
Some Communities are Doing

In his address at the recent
meeting Of the Citrus Seminar
held at the University of Florida,
DIR. j. III. Ross of the Florida Cit
rus Exchange spoke on coopera-
ton for grove work, and urged
the growers to do more along this
line. We give here some of the
good things he had to say on the
subject.
I have pity for citrus growers
who are in these times trying to
90 it alone. There are thousands
of them who will find it impossi-
Bile to do many of the necessary
kinds Of grove work to any adj
vantage individually, while there
is hardly a citrus settlement in
the state which, by cooperation,
could not pillow, prune, spray and
fertilize to advantage. BY COM
bining in organization, fertilizers
could always be bought in car
lots. Perhaps in no one thing is
this more apparent than in the
matter Of spraying. 1t is a pity
that so little OF it is done. But
if growers in any locality would
organize, buy spraying outfits

HOW TO GROW LETTUCE
Thorough Preparation is Essen
tial

Seminole county is one of the
greatest lettuce sections of the
state. While attending the an
nual meeting Of the county agents
held at the University Of Florida
last week, G. M. Berry, Seminole
county demonstration agent, said
that most Of the lettuce seed beds
have been put out in his county,
but that this work lasts from Sep.
l to about Dec. /. In discussing
this crop, he said the best variety
is the Big Boston; it heads better
and the market prefers this var
iety. The seed should be sown
thinly in rows 4 inches apart on
well fortified beds raised 3 inch
es above the surface.
The seedlings are transplanted
at the age of three Of four weeks,
according to suitable weather con
ditions for their growth. The
plants should have about four
leaves when transplanted. The
ground should be well fortified
and thoroughly prepared before
resetting the lettuce, and plant
should be put in checks ID inches
apart each way. An abundance
of fertilizer, as much as three tons
per acre, is used to insure a maxi
mum crop. A half Of this is APP
piled before setting the plants and
the other half as a top dressing.
A complete fertilizer Analysing A
per cent ammonia, 6 per cent
phosphoric acid and 3 per cent
potash is used on the average soil.
OF course this formula varies ac-
cording to the nature of the soil,
and here it is that experience and
Judgment must be used to get the
best results.
Thorough cultivation is prac-
ticed throughout the growth Of
the crop. The time of maturity
from the seed bed to the finished
product is from SO to IS days.

ness has been increased nearly
eight fold. United States taxes
have been raised from about 80

burden on yourself.
Are you going to do it? ! am

lars has been lost to the school
authorities by the failure OF this
collection in the last ten years.
The state tax commission is my
authority for saying there are
hundreds of millions of property
IN this state that is assessed at ?
per cent less than their true value,
and millions at 10 per cent an
less, and millions that are not as
sessed at all.
Those who want more money
for the schools should demand Of
our governor the enforcement Of
Eour tax assessing laws.
If our tax laws were enforced
our assessed wealth would be
Al 600 100000 and a levy Of five

school authorities with about 2t
per cent more money than now.
