Farmers complain that fertilizers
are scarce and high in price. Every
week some one mentions the very pro-
ductive soil of the Muclan farms.
Right here in Belleview we have a
source of fertilizer supply absolutely
free. Lake Lillian with its heavy bot
tom of muck, decayed vegetation and
other sediment would fertilize every
acre of land under cultivation around
Belleview. There is a thousand tons
| laying at the bottom of that pond that
could be turned into money if proper
lily utilized. If you don't believe it,
take two boxes, fill one with ordinary
soil and mix the other with ordinary
soil and Lake Lillian mud and start
something growing in them both.
There was no holiday hour observ-
ance at the postofice New Years day.
