HUCKLEBERRIES In
FLORIDA PAY WELL

Crestview, Oct. I'm. A. Sapp,
OF this place, has proved that buckle.
brries in Florida are a paying crop
when properly looked after. All the
fruit of this kind is easily disposed of,
and the markets are always ready to
give the highest prices, according to
figures which the enterprising Oska-
loosa county man has confided to his
friends.
Mr.. Sapp began to ship on May 10
last and finished about the last Of
August, and the crop netted s805.85.
That does not mean the entire crop,
fer he has been liberal with friends
and relatives, and has also set aside
considerable amount for home use.
II have six acres in berry bushes"
he said, "but this crop was gathered
from about half of the orchard, as
the other half are young trees and are
just coming in. / want to make this
statement for the benefit of the many
people who are interested in wild
fruits Of Florida, so they may know
that Florida is a fruit garden.

GENT. IN PRICE SINCE AUGUST;
WILL GO LOWER AFTER XMAS

DR.. A. D.. Hopkins, Of the Depart
ment, forsook the old realm of scien-
tific formulate for "back to nature"
information. AS plants respond to
climatic conditions and not to dates,
It was decided that some natural in
dication would give the information
desired. 1t is now claimed that OBJ
servation has proved that the best
time for sowing wheat is that period
between the full blooming of tall late
goldenrod and the time when the
white, common Japanese clematis
flowers are nearly all gone or the
leaves are distinctly colored on the
dogwood and hickories.
What has been done for wheat will
be done for other crops, but the work
ing out of the signs will be slow
process. Meanwhile, every farmer
and even the city gardener have their
own guides at hand If they have eyes
to see. Thus has the superstition
and folklore Of days called primitive
been justified by the advanced science
of the twentieth century.

OPEN YOUR ROOMS TO
COMING VISITORS AT
NOMINAL RENTAL

The Orlando Reporter-Star says:
Mr.. II. Fl. Dickson today brought up
before the Board of Trade the "seri-
Gus question which now confronts u.s."
as he expressed it, concerning the
housing Of people in Orlando the COM
ing winter Mr.. Dickson said it was
utterly impossible to talk of building
houses to care for the overflow but
there is solution to the problem IL
the proper action is taken In time
and that is to induce the man who
has a room, or rooms in his house
which are not occupied to open them
to the visitors at reasonable prices.
"This is very important and action
should be taken at once" he urged,
but in doing this we should not run
the tourist away by excessive rents"
President Duckworth said he
thought it was very timely sugges-
ton and he would appoint commit
tee to canvass the town to see just
how many rooms could be secured.
Dr. Bryan remarked that it was his
opinion some one should be engaged
to do this work and that they should
receive pay for their time and service.
PRESIDENT Duckworth said he thought
1t should be patriotic duty Of the
individual to do this for the good of
the town and appointed Mr.. Dickson,
chairman of the committee to select
those whom he desires to work with
him.

ONE.TIME SUPERSTITIONS
RECOGNIZED AS VALUABLE
BY MODERN SCIENCE
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 15.-The prob
lem of making agricultural supersti-
tons into scientific data Is being stu
died by experts of the Department of
Agriculture, who declare that many
old maxims handed down from father
to son for generations are not really
superstitions at all, but helpful in
formation discovered by keenly OBJ
servant persons.
Everybody has heard some Of the
old maxims. They deal with every
variety of agricultural operation.
Bean planting, for instance, never
was done by the forefathers of the
present generation except at the time
of the poisoning of the blackberry
bushes. When the catkins had formed
on the maple trees, it was sign
from nature that early gardening
might commence. And toward the
close of the season, warning Of frost
was given by the maturing of cookie
burs.
Now, the Department of Agricul-
ture declares that there Is a best time
for every farm and garden operation
and that some tree or shrub or plant
indicates that time more accurately
than all the scientific instruments
can register It. IL is those signs
which were noted by the pioneers who
laid the foundations Of this country
and recorded in the simple sayings
banded down to posterity. Soon they
will be dignihed WITH the scientific
name Of "phenology.s which is the
science Of phenomena.
Collection of natural signs into the
science Of phenology probably was
begun with a campaign against the
Hessian fly. Experts were endeavor-
ing to determine the best time for
planting wheat so that the sowing
would be late enough to prevent
ruin by the pest and yet early enough
for the grain to get a start before
cold weather. 1t was easy enough tC
work out the general rule that the
season varies four days for each one
degree of latitude, FIVE degrees Of
longitude and 400 feet of altitude, but
as no two seasons are just the same
the rule could tell only approximate
ly when the farmer should do hi
sowing.
