CONVINCED Of WONDERS
Of NAPIER GRASS

Recently the newspapers have beer
publishing some wonderful stories
about Napier Grass, the most notable
of which perhaps, was an article
from the pen of Hon. Loring Brown
o. this city. published in the Lake
land Advertiser.
The article in question attracted the
attention of Samuel Rogers, the cap.
italist, who has associated some gen.
tlemen with him for the purpose of
giving correct facts about Florida y

or exaggeration, and he thought some
OF the statements made in the article.
were fairy tales. He expressed his
doubts to us and we assured him that.
while the figures looked big If Mr..
Brown said the grass was sixteen feet
high we would believe it. regardless,
and we advised him to make some
personal Investigations.
This he has done, with the result
that he is completely converted to the
belief in the wonderful possibilities OF
Napier grass, and declares that hav-
ing seen this grass growing on the
farm of Mr.. J. II. Jones, near town
that he is convinced that al the
claims made for it are true, and that
ii will actually, as stated, produce,
1913 tons in three cuttings, marvellous
as this may seem. Mr.. Rogers is
beginning to realize that what may
seem fairy tales as regards the pos
sibilities of Florida products and soil
ire just plain statements of facts. He
s interested and impartial enough to
make frst-hand investigations and
road enough to acknowledge the alb
olute truth of what he was at first
Inclined to doubt.

marked by the initial appearance tomor-

not support eleyens last year and those
which continued football did not observe
the usual schedule system.

the following: Boston college at Har-

at Pennsylvania; Union at Williams
North Carolina Aggies at Annapolis;
