TRUE FISH STORY
Halls FROM CHINA

Picking, Sept is.-A Jade seal be-
longing to a famous general of the
King dynasty was found recently in the
belly of a fish, according to Chinese
daily.
\ fisherman, living outside one of
the city gates. caught a fish weighing
over fifty pounds. When he dressed it
for sale. he found inside the jade seal,
about half an inch square and one
inch thick.
The seal bears the name of Isl Chi
kuang. The letters are engraved in
the Clluan style and are still legible
The finder did not know the value of
the seal, and parted with it for dol
lar. The new owner took it to curio
experts and was assured that it was
genuine. He sold it later to a foreign
collector for $500
The rare quality of the Jade and the
engraving convinced the experts that
it was the property of the great Cen
eral Tsi Chi-kuang, who flourished in
the latter part of the Ming dynasty
and whose deeds in the suppression of
the Japanese pirates who infested the
Chinese coast have rendered his name
a household word

fall GARDENS

The season of frost is now on in
the north, where in some sections the
interval between late frost in the
spring and early frost in the fall is
only so days. Serious damage is al
ready reported in some of the STATES
of the extreme north. In Florida there
is occasional frost as early as Decem-
ber," says the State Marketing
Bureau
THE winter is the real garden sea-
son in Florida, but something to eat
can be grown in every month.
September is the month when Flor
idians begin the fall vegetable plant
ing campaign. Now is the time to
plant root crops-turnips, rutabagas,
onions beets and carrots, and to sci
out cabbage and cau1floWer plants
Good seed is important One way to
test many kinds of seed is to put
them in water, those that sink to the
bottom are good and those that float
have little or no vitality.
Home owners and gardeners who
are in doubt about what to do are
invited to write to Prof. C. X Nc
Quarrie, University of Florida extern
sion Service. Gainesville. and he will
help with worth while advice.
Winter pastures of oats and rye
should be grown for livestock and
poultry. BY having different fields it
is possible to provide pasturage all
along, by pasturing one field while the
others are growing. Feed is scarce in
the north, and but limited quantities
can be sent this way because of the
railroad situation and the scarcity and
the price,,

The airship. after circling over Mo-
