10 PLANT ASPARAGUS ROOTS
Good Results Obtained BY Placing In
Rows Four Feet Apars-Some
Growers Use Seed.

Good results can be obtained In
starting commercial asparagus bed
By planting roots In rows four feet
apart. They can be placed two fee;
epart In rows and about eight inches
deep. Place about an Inch OF rich
soil In the bottom of the trench nnH
spread out the roots carefully beforc
covering them with earth This depth
of eight inches prevents injury to the
roots and. ms they develop. more earth
can be worked into the trench during
the process of wedding und cultivation.
The second year the bed must be thor.
ouBhly cultivated TO keep down weeds
and conserve moisture. nnd the third
year cutting mny he continued for
about three weeks. which gives the
grover about hnlf n crop for market.
Although some growers seem TO prefer
starting their asparagus beds from
Beed. the beginner can doubtless have
better success by trying few strong
healthy roots.

The incessant strikes among the
shipbuilders are more danger to
America than the expected German
offensive. If our shipbuilding does
not hit lively pace, there, is danger
not only of our Allies being defeated
but of hundreds of thousands of oul
own men being starved into surren-
der. Men who hold up building the
needed ships, whether employers or
employees, are practical enemies of
their country. The government should
take charge of the shipbuilding in
dustry, it should pay the men good
wages and make them work IF they
won't work any other way, couple
of army divisions should be detached
to compel them. What right has a
man to squabble over dollar or so
a day when the best men of the coun-
try are putting their lives in danger
in order that American laboring men
may work in safety?

There seems to be a disposition to
blame Governor Cats for not setting
aside the Florida fish laws, in order
to enable more fish to be caught,
thereby saving meat. 1t is the gov
errors duty to execute the laws-he
has no right to set them aside. 1t is
possible than he can, by cooperating
with the food administration, make
some arrangement by which the
Florida fish supply can be more large
~ utilized. If fish pirates were al
lowed to do as they pleased in Flor
ida waters, there soon wouldn't be
any fish, and the people would have
little help. The pirates would use
nets in rivers. lakes, bays and inlets,
destroy more fish than they caught
and charge the people famine prices.
They have been tried before, and the
present laws are the result of their
hoggishness.

Come with her laurel-leaf, blood

A Comforting Message
Mr.. and Mrs. Burford received this
morning the following comforting
message from their oldest son, Lieut..
Robert Allen Burford.
Lieutenant Burford is in the navy,
and his message is not only a COM
fort TO his parents but an inspiration
to all other patriotic young men.
Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. II.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. A. Burford, Ocala:
Dear mother and father. We are
heart-broken and you have all our
love and sympathy. I pray God that
i may avenge his death. Change
Wiley's star to gold in the service
flag. Be comforted that he died a
noble death, killed in action. We are
proud of our poor, dear brother. With
all our love. Robert.
Saturday morning and afternoon,
Mr.. and Mrs. Burford received several
letters from Wiley. Written at differ
ent times, they all came at once They
were bright and interesting letters,
describing the young officers life in
France, and will be treasures to his
loved ones as long as they live. His
mother had finished reading the last
of them but few minutes before the
arrival of the telegram that told of
the death of her soldier son.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burford are bearing
up bravely under their great sorrow.
Sustaining Mr.. Burford in his grief
is his pride in his boys-one sleeping
in glorious grave; the others ready
to do and dare all things for the same
great cause. Mrs. Burford is for the
time Frustrated, for it is a hard task
for mother to balance even the
cause of the nation against the life of
beloved child, but she too will in
time emerge from the valley of sor-
row and smile thru her tears when
she thinks of the brave young life
laid on the altar of patriotism.
Miss Mary Burford and Mr.. Sam
Burford are expected home this after
noon or tonight. Miss Mary was visit
ing friends in Cincinnati when the sad
news came to her. She started home,
and on the way was joined by her
brother, Sam, in school in Atlanta,
and preparing also to do his duty for
his country.
The hearts of our people are full
of sorrow for the dead and sympathy
for the living, but this sad event has
lifted us all nearer to a full concep-
ton of the great cause for which we
must make sacrifices to win.

Here is another chunk of good sense
from the DeLand News:
"Fuel Administrator Williams has
started campaign to get people to
store wood for next winter. Williams
is too previous. This is the time of
year when every effort should be
made to pillow land and get it ready
for planting; when the seeds should
be put into the ground. Every effort
should be exerted now to produce
crops. If State Fuel Administrator
Williams will postpone his fuel gath
ering campaign to about August,
