A MARROW ESCAPE

This section has barely escaped .
disastrous frost, which if it had land
ed would have caused good many to
60 on short rations.
Everybody watched the thermo-
meters, weather vanes and clauds
with intense interest yesterday after
noon. The mercury vacilated in the
tubes but its general trend was down.
When people went to bed it was 81
and not much lower at / a. N. But
by sunrise it had slid down to 81.
This would have been low enough
to have killed all tender vegetation il
it hadn't been for the wind and the
clouds, which kept the frost from
falling in most places and from stick
ing where it did, From all reports,
very little damage has been done in
the neighborhood of 0cala, but to the
north the truckers have suffered heav-
lily.
The wind has done a good deal OF
damage. 1t has set cotton back and
considerably harmed other vegeta-
tion, but it has done nothing IN COM
parison with what would have hap
pened if it hadn't kept away the
frost.

MARION COUNTY AS VIEWED
BY THE BOARD OF TRADE

| believe that we are right when we
claim Marion county as one of the ma
tion's greatest assets. It is not hard
to realize this if for a moment we will
refer to statistics over period of tel
years only. 1t is hard, however, for
a great many to digest this for
good many peoples consciences are
located in their stomachs, and you
can't always tell whether it is genu..
inc repentance or a bad liver. Our
good roads which lead in every direc-
ton from Ocala and which are kept
in good condition to enable the far
mer, the motorist to enjoy the bene-
fits in every line. The farmer who
used to plant 40 to so acres, now is
planting of 100 to 200 acres. The little
farms that only represented few
acres cleared, are now in the hun
dreds. We had no demonstration
agent a few years ago, but refer for
just moment to the money that has
been saved by the farmers through
this agent. Our live stock, cattle and
hogs are among the biggest industry.
Sever YEARS cSO ~ was tAA0t
scrub stock was the only stock to
raise, but now every farmer is rap
idly changing to the blooded stock
| A hog that few years ago weighed
200 pounds was thought to be big
hog, but now one is not satisfied un-
less the hog weighs 400 pounds. The
first county fair was held ten years
ago and has promised each year te
be larger and larger and unless al
signs fail the fair for the coming
year will exceed all. And before We
| forget, ten years ago, we had nj
board of trade in Ocala, but the pres
ent board has been well maintained
since its organization and toda.
before the people as public forum
and every one in this county viii
realize this. we hope, some day. Thi
does not begin to tell the possibili
ties of Marion county, but only give
an idea of some of the importan
things that have made a great i'm
provement. There is not a county il
the south that is doing any more fo
this great nation than Marion-w
have a just right to feel proud of oil
: Marion county.

HINTS TO THE CATTLE DIPPERs

The most care should be exercised
in dipping the cattle to prevent any
accident, first the vat should be filled
to the standard depth, five feet, five
inches, then it should be tested be-
tween 171a to 19 at this strength
there is positively no danger of inju-
ry to the cattle from the solution by
dipping unless the cattle are hot when
dipped or are heated up after they
are dipped, they should be cool when
dipped and should not be driven far
or heated up after they are dipped
for then there is danger of the arsen-
ic being absorbed and bad results are
liable to follow when we are careless.
Another reason for the cattle to be
cool before they are dipped is that they
are less liable to drink the solution in
the vat, and to help prevent this they
,, should also be watered before they
are dipped. We all know that we can
use poisons externally that we could
not take internal without causing Sc
rious injury, the same is true with the
solution used in dipping, it is harm
less external when at the proper
strength, taken internal will more
than likely cause death and for that
/ reason it behooves US to be very care
full and see to it that the cattle do not
drink it.
.One important thing / wish to caii
attention to is the recharging of the
vat, Do Not Add Any Chemicals I'm
| til You Have Tested and Know How
Much Is Needed You would moro
than likely get it too strong and injure
your cattle. Don't think that because
the tick don't fall just as soon as the
animal is dipped that your dip is toe
weak for it takes up to five or six days
for them to die and fall off.
i In case you do lose an animal anc
you think the dipping vat did it, don't
:, condemn the dipping vat, but call DR.
IL. F. Chapman, the government In
spector, and let him determine what
the cause was. We must expect al
I occasional loss but when we have ont
!. we should not contribute every loss we
have to the vat, for we must bear IL
mind that there are other things tina
!, will cause death. I have known th'
? vat to be accused when the animal ha'
t been bitten by snake; again, when
[ had eaten some poisonous plant
) other times when sick with some dis
ease, so you may readily see tina
when you have a loss in your cattl
you have no right to say that the va
did it until it is proven by testing tha
the vat is too strong or that the ami
! NAL drank some Of the dip.
! If you have any trouble, call me a
, once: If YOU want TO build a vat, ca
. me, or if you want any informatio
concerning the dipping of cattle G
: tick eradication in general, call me.

COUNTY MONEY FOR vATs

Marion county set aside some mon
ey some time ago to help the people
build dipping vats, the county agree
ing to give $50 to the vat and the peo-
pie raising the rest.
Some of this money still remains
not used, l am sorry to say. 1t should
all have been used and. the people
should have been calling for more.
Good people take advantage of this
offer the county makes yoI. Can't
you see if we don't use all of this
money that when the time comes to
ask for more, they will not grant it !?
1t is the duty of every one in this
county to encourage and push the
work of building vats and tick eradi-
cation.
Some sections of the county have
said that they want the money for a
vat but are putting off the building
because they are busy with their
crops. Now let me tell you good
folks your cattle crop is as important
as any you grow and the longer you
put off building your vat the longer
you put off the dipping of your cattle
crop and the more money you will lose
on your cattle Get in the wagon tc
prosperity and dip that tick.
The government has asked FOL
more meat. How better can you sup
ply this than by dipping? Did yoI
know that you could supply more
meat in two years time by dipping
what cattle you now have, than yol
could be adding one-third more cat
tie and not dip? Every COW dippet
is a shot at the Germans.

OF SPECIAL INTEREST
TO STOCK RAISERS
u. S. Department of Agriculture,

0caIa Fla Anril IL

u. S. Department OF Agriculture,
States Relation Service.
Ocala, Fla, April II.
To the Farmers of Marion County:
In as much as there are many farm
ers in this county with more live stock
on hand than they can use to advan-
tage and as many farmers are in need
of more stock, an attempt will be made
to bring the two classes together so
that the greatest possible production
can be attained
To accomplish this, | will get out
list of all stock for sale as far as l
can learn. This list will be posted In
all post offices in the county and a
copy sent to every county agent in the
state. This sheet will be put out on
the 10th of April and, if results war
rant, will be put out at regular inter
walls during the year.
To make this a success every per-
son having livestock to sell should no
tify me not later than April goth, stat
ing what they have TO sell. There
will be no charge whatever for this
service. The person having stock for
sale must state kind, breed number
and age SO that the prospective buyer
can tell whether the. stock offered is
what he needs.
I believe that many dollars worth
of livestock can be sold in Marion
county with profit to both buyer and
seller. There is plenty of good stock
for sale here and it is oftentimes the
case that farmers send out of the
county for livestock which, had they
known, would have been purchased al
home. If the farmers will support
this move by sending me list of what
they have for sale and by looking ov
er this list when put out to see If what
they want is offered. / think we car
save the farmers money and improve
the livestock of the county.
i Remember, if you have any cattle
hogs, sheep, goats, horses or mules t.
sell, that someone in this county ma.
be anxious to buy just what you wan
to sell. Send in a list to me and
will place it where every farmer ha
a chance to see it.
Very truly yours,
r. w. Blackjack, County Agt.
