MR.. GABEL'S TRIP TO DAYTON

Mr.. l.. A. Gabel, local DelcO-Light
dealer, returned this week from the
Fourth Annual Delco-Light conven-
ton which he attended in Dayton,
Ohio on March 18th and goth.
He came back displaying boundless
enthusiasm over the trip and describ-
ed fiuently the many unique and in
teresting features which were offered
at this convention of the makers and
statesmen of Delco-Light, the we'll
known farm electric plant.
Some of the more striking features,
says Mr. Gabel. were: First the open
ing session on Thursday morning
when talks were made by r. H. Grant,
general manager, and other officers
of the company. These talks, he stat
ed, had to do largely with the general
proposition of the spread and develop
ment of electrical equipment for the
rural communities and many valuable
new electrical products were announc-
ed
On Thursday afternoon, the whole
convention body of some 1900 mem,
bers were taken on trip through the
great Delco-Light factory, largest of
its kind in the world and covering
more than a million square feet of
floor space. On Thursday night the
feature was comedy with music,
produced and presented exclusively
for the Delco-Light organization.
Fridays program dealt with inti-
mate service and financial problems
and included, also, a maximum parade
of factory employees. representing
each department. The keenest inter-
est and enthusiasm were displayed on
every hand, declares Mr.. Gabel, clear
up to the eliminating feature, the an
nual banquet for the entire convention
hody, on Saturday night. Prominent
speakers delivered stirring talks, and
were shown of many of the important
features of the three-day convention.
Mr.. Gabel declares that in his opin-
ion electricity is one of the most
important forces offered the farmer
today and that that opinion was
strengthened by what he saw and
heard at the tremendous gathering
of statesmen of electrical products. An
electrical exposition conducted by
abCut 100 manufacturers of electrical
appliances was valuable feature of
the convention, he adds, and con-
cludes that when all farmers come to
use electricity as they will one day
the result will be a most valuable
saving of time and labor and the un-
questioned addition of untold com
fort and enjoyment, made possible by
the enjoyment of the advantages that
electricity alone affords.

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

From a modest beginning about
five years ago, club work for young
people has spread all over Florida un-
til now it is carried on in all the coun-
ties but five. In fact, so general has
the work become that a county with
out it is considered behind the times.
1t is great factor in the training of
the young people along practical and
scientific lines of agriculture and
shows that the young people, as well
AS the older people, of the county are
alive to the opportunities of progress
siVe farming.
Marion county has done splendid
work in the past in the corn and pig
clubs and. being the leading agricul-
tural county of the state. is expected
to do bigger things this year. Many
have enrolled in the different clubs,
but many more members are needed
to be sure that no other county goes
ahead. The time for planting crops
is here and we must get busy in
earnest if we are to do our best. Re-
member that there is a club for any
kind of boy or girl, or any kind of
land. Those between the ages Of 10
and 18 are allowed to join and call
choose to go into any, or all. of the
clubs, namely: corn, peanut. sweet po-
tato, sugar cane. calf. pig, and fat bar
row. Attractive premiums are offered
for the best work in each club, and
these will be awarded during the Mar
ion County Fair in November. In order
to make it easy for any boy, or girl,
to get, start in pure bred live stock,
the Ocala National Bank has offered
to furnish as much as $25OO for buy
ing calves and $500 for buying bar
rows and to give the prizes in these
two clubs. The Munroe & Chambliss
National Bank, also, is assisting the
young people as formerly and is loan
ing money to the pig club members
and has offered $100 cash for prizes
in this club. With such help and en-
enlargement. there is no reason why
Marion county hould not be the
champion county in the club work this
year. Young people, let's see that she
is. Join club and get busy.
With the increase of live stock in
the county, more attention should be
paid to pastures. 1t is an accepted
fact that cheap animals can not be
grown without the aid of some kind of
pasture. Land that is given over to
grass will produce cheaper meat than
if planted to cultivated crops.
The great trouble with the most OF
cur pastures is, that they are on the
poorest lands and are not given the
proper care. 1t seems to be common
belief that the fertile lands are too
valuable for pasturing and that the
lands of least value should be used for
this purpose. AS a result. the pas
lures have not been profitable and
have been neglected. If the best soils
were devoted to grass. the proper
care given and the right kind of live
stock grazed, the returns would be

BERLIN, April THE French mill

The event is treated as proving the
impossibility of Germany undertaking

Berlln newspapers with the exception
Of the independent "Freiheit" insist it

now condemned to impotence.

1t is asserted that the number Of
troops sent by Ebert into the disaf-
facted districts Is within the s-pula-
tion agreed upon last August. though
the units may exceed the stipulated
maximum. The battalions. however.
have only half their usual quota.
George Bernhard, however, points out
in The Nossische Zeiturgn mat the
government, after first announcing that
the allowed number Of 1850 had not
been reached, admitted that it was
slightly exceeded" and he asked that
this 'prevarication' be cleared away.
