PLANT STRAWBERRIES
Beds Set in September Usually
Make the Best Yields

Strawberries may be grown il
nearly all parts of the state, anc
their culture has proved profta
bic. The bulk of the crop is mar
keted between January and Nav
but a few berries are produced in
the southern part of Florida for
the Christmas market. In other
regions the bearing period con-
tlnues as late as June.
Klondyke, Excelsior, and Mis-.
sionary are the best varieties for
marketing, says A. P. Spencer OF
the extension division of the col,
lege of agriculture. For home
use, some other varieties are sat
lsfactory, and one may plant sew
eral of them so as to have a sue
cession Of berries from Christmas
to June. Plant the Excelsior for
an early crop.
Strawberries require a moist,
rich soil with good drainage
Most growers select fatwoods
land, preferably with clay sub
soil near the surface. If planted
on dry, light, sandy soil, it will be
necessary to irrigate frequently.
Strawberries require 1900 to
200Q pounds of fertilizer per acre,
analysing 3 to 4 percent ammonia,
8 to 10 per cent phosphoric acid,
and potash content of 3 per
cent or higher. The fertilizer
should be given in two applica-
tons, making the first application
ten days before the plants are set,
and the second application when
forms show for bloom. An ad-
ditional 10C pounds of nitrate of
soda per acre applied about thirty
days before the second applica-
ton of fertilizer will usually
iengthen the fruiting period if the
plants are growing slowly, but is
not necessary if the plants are
growing and fruiting well.
Most growers replant their !
oeds each year, using young
plants taken from runners during {
he summer. Plants may be set {
rom August to November, pre- S
,erably about September 20.
Those set during September and l
October usually yield best. '

Newspapers Source of Income

The only source of income for a
newspaper is from the advertising
space that is sold. The subscrip-
ton price does not much more
than pay for the blank paper be-
fore it is made up.
The newspapers do more to
boost and advertise the town and
country than any other means
| they contribute more, in proper
ton, to charity than any other
firm or enterprise; in every charit-
able or patriotic cause the news
papers are appealed to lend their
every effort to make the cause a
success. Can this be said of any
other enterprise that does not de-
pend on the country for its exist
Ience?
The advertising space that we
sell to the merchants Of Live Oak
during a month would not pay
our expenses for two weeks. We
look to the foreign advertising
for our profits, and yet those for
cign ads must be in the interest
of our local merchants before we
will accept them.
During the course of a month,
we refuse to accept mail-order
advertising, but we do all in our
power to encourage the people to
trade with their county mer-
chants.
During the past fe-~ weeks, we

ing from mail order houses offer

attention to the home garden.
Only limited paintings should be
attempted until the cool fall
months. Mr.. Floyd suggests that
savory leaf spinach, fiat dutch
and purple-top turnips, curly
mustard and radishes may be
planted in August, and will come
on by the time the fall garden is
planted. These vegetables should
be planted during the rainy sea-

seeds and for starting the young
plants.

Tired of Being Wagged by the
Tail

In several places in Ocala last
night met little groups of men,
who quietly and dispassionately
discussed the labor situation, both
local and national, the troubles
of the last few days, where one
branch of organized labor is
trying to tie up the entire
country, and the paid representa-
tives Of several groups having
coolly proposed to take charge of
Americas transportation system
and tax the people to pay for it,
having brought to a climax their
discomfort with a system whereby |
small minority not only plans to
control the government, but
change it to suit their own con-
venience. These men were not
politicians, but every day citizens,
such as make up two-thirdS Of the
voting population of the country
And they all voiced their disgust
with the government which makes
one concession after another to
favored class, which is rapidly be-
coming as tyrannical in methods
as the Prussian autocracy, and
they all expressed a wish that the
government would show some
spunk and fight the mObOcracy,
instead of giving away to its sue
cessive demands. Ocala is much
like other American towns, so the
chances are that very much the
same kind of sentiment was being
expressed all over the United
States.
Judging by what we have been
hearing among the people-nOt
he Well-to-do business men only,

disguised with the eX-
lctiOns of organized labor and the
'owardicc shown toward it by the
