BIG MONEY IN SUGAR CANE

Eugene Masters Is one or the farm
ers in St. Johns county who included
patch of sugar cane among his pro-
ducts and he recently harvested the
crop OF two acres. He has sold car
load which has been shipped to Chu-
luOta to be used for seed. Mr.. Mast
ers reserved sufficient cane to plant
seven or eight acres and this he has
already banked. In addition he will
grind cane sufficient to make about
400 gallons of syrup, and as syrup Is
selling at s1.60 per gallon his cane
patch may be considered a remuner
alive branch of the farm. Mr.. Mast
ers figures that sugar cane is one OF
the safest crops to plant. With even
Ordiary care it will yield heavy crops
and with special care it will pay huge
profits. Mr.. Masters estimates that
sugar cane will easily pay $500 pei
acre profit 1t is not very expensive

maximum cost. This covers every

PIGS INVADE ODESSA

Instead of the usual invasion often
carried on by armies OF the world, a
new invasion has made history for
the sawmill town of Odessa. This
time twelve purebred Poland China
pigs were handed the keys of the
town and are now proudly occupying
same, according to the report of Pas
co County Agent Frank Merlin When
the great Herlong sale was recently
held, the citizens of Odessa as we'll
as other people of the state, were
amazed at the enormous high price
paid for purebred Logs. After con,
siderable correspondence pigs OF
close relation to those sold by Mr.
Herlong were located and II purchas
ed for citizens OF Odessa. There is a
young boar in the bunch that is of
close relation to the SOW that topped
the Herlong sale at $1,000, and this
young boar is now owned by W. w.
Roberts. Mr.. Roberts also has three
gifts of the same strain of breeding.
Other citizens of Odessa owning
members OF this invading force are

The pigs will be raised under the
supervision of the county agent. Ev-
erything possible will be done to
grow them out, making them close
rivals to their ancestors that have
made Florida famous.

s12 for her. The first litter OF seven
pigs were sold for SIS each at wean-
ing time. The SOW was fed almost
entirely on slops and scraps from the
house which otherwise would have
been wasted. so the boy realized a
net profit OF approximately 800 on his
first years work. This young club
members says that he will continue
TO raise pigs. Four of the seven pigs
were sold to other boys, who have al
so joined the pig club.

He SHIPMENT OF CITRUS
FRUITS AND TRUCKS


The Jacksonville correspondent OF
the New York Packer under date of
November p, says:
Shipments of grapefruit up to last
Saturday totaled 1866 cars and or
ange shipments $50 cars, a total of 2.
SOP cars of both for the season. To
November Is last year the total car
lot output amounted to 1900 of which
1876 were grapefruit and 1924 were
oranges. The grapefruit movement
on greatly curtailed basis this year
was ten cars less to November Is this
year than to the corresponding date
shows a decrease of 1888 cars this
year over last year. This is account
ed for by the fact that during Octo,
Der, weather C 0nditions this year
were unfavorable to the coloring and
ripening of the fruit weather being
extremely hot. During the month Of
October last year the weather was
exceptionally cold and fruit ripened
rapidly.
The movement OF grapefruit last
week amounted to 325 cars. which
was 2G cars in excess of the number
shipped during the corresponding
week last year. The movement of or
anges during the same week mention.
ed was 209 and 500 cars respectively,
With the coming of colder weather.
it is believed that fruit will ripen very
rapidly now and that the market viii
do better.
The following tables show the car
lot shipments OF both fruits to date
compared with the movements to cor
responding dates last year:

DAUGHTER HAD
TO QUIT WORK,
MOTHER SAYS
Inactivity Would Have Last
ed Longer, Had Not Tru-
tOna Brought Aid.

Louisville, KY, Sept. II. - Be
cause it had relieved her daugh-
ter of troubles which kept her
from her work for five long
months, Mrs. Josephine Brown,
a we'll known Louisville woman
of 72l Washington street recent
ly made the following interest
ing statement regarding Tru-
tOna, the perfect tonic:
MY daughter had been suf-
fering with stomach trouble and
nervousness for several months.
In fact, the trouble became so
severe that she couldn't work
for five months. 1t seemed that
everything she ate would sour in
her stomach, causing gas forma-
tions and bloating feeling.
The gas seemed to form around
her heart, causing her much
pain.
my daughters nerves were
so unstrung that she could hard
ly sleep at night and she would
get up in the mornings almost
as, tired as when she went to
bed. But Trutona has steadied
her nerves and she's at last able
to rest we'll at night. This med
icine has relieved her of the in.
digestion, too, and her bowels
are regular now. We think Tru'
tona is a great medicine.
Trutona is now being intro.

Jet,

If you have made the trip TO the
bottom of coal mine and have seen
how the black Jumps are made ready
for use, perhaps you know that jet.
the shiny black substance that you
see so often, made into pretty orna-
ments, beads, buttons, etc, is closely
akin to coal. The history Of the for
nation of jet is much like that of
coal. Thousands of years ago, masses
of wood were carried down into the
sea by the rivers, and, there water
logged, it sank and became embedded
in the mud. Pressure and heat and
the salt water wrought the change in
the wood. Even now traces of the
wood structure can be detected in the
jet itself. In years gone by let used
to be found in Jumps off the coast of
Yorkshire, the jet incased in shale
known as jetrock, washed ND by the
sea; but now that supply is not suf-
ficient and jet has to be regularly
mined. In Whltby. Yorkshire. the best
jet is produced but there are also
important mines in France and Spain.
and America, too has quantities of
the shale, though it is not systemat.
ically mined.

Directly in front of the chair was a

if the can had been lifted from the

have exploded, and the colonel and his
party would have been blown TO bits.

showed him just what he had been as

'hunch' to let that can alone"
