Old Story of Food Waste.

Consumers compelled to pay the
current retail prices of vegetables
and fruits will read with varying
emotions of tomatoes left to rot in
Maryland fields because it does not
pay the grower to haul them to mar
ket, and of watermelons sold at $3.50
a hundred and even given away at
tie Baltimore docks. 1t is not new
story, of course; it IS retold every
summer and applies just as well to
New York as to Baltimore. 1t is
merely q view from another angie of
the breakdown Of the system of pro-
duce distribution which occurs peri
odically and with absolute certainty
when the supply is so large as to de-
press prices. Tomatoes are now rot
ting in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut fields IS we'll, at the very
time when they command high prices
in the metropolitan and suburban
markets.
Since, this is a condition which en-
tails loss on both the producer and
the ultimate consumer, it might be
supposed that something would be
done to remedy it. Yet here it is,
pointing the same old moral sand
adjoining the same threadbare tale of
rotting crops in spite Of interurban
transportation, parcel-post delivery,
municipal markets and all the vaunt-
ed devices for putting the farm in
closer touch with the home.
/ Perhaps it will some day be regard
ed as a serious enough coalition to
constitute a national economic issue.
Perhaps the public will be moved to
ask with real earnestness whether
farm produce is grown for the com
mon benefit of the farmer and the
consumer or only to afford the
means of profit for the dealer and
! the commission man. That might
give Us a new version of the story,
one decidedly improved by the omis-
sion of accounts of wanton waste of
perishablc food in the face of an
oppressive cost of living.-New YORK

the house should in justice to his
family devise some means whereby
this water will not have to be carried
TO the house in buckets. Such would
eliminate much of the drudgery, es-
pecially to the women, who need
every consideration.
To have running water does not
necessitate the outlay of much mon
ey. One can begin with a common
pitcher pump and sink placed con-
yeniently in the kitchen. This is
far better than carrying water in a
bucket. Later an improvement over
this can be made. The hand force
pump with barrel tank might come
second. Finally would come a gas
oline driven pump and an elevated
tank, which is much better than
either of the former.
The time saved in going to and
from the we'll with buckets to carry
water and the satisfaction derived
will soon pay for the best system.

TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
VIII be Held Near Arcadia on the
9th and 25th.

The first annual tractor demon
stration will be held near Arcadia on
the Gath and 25th of this month.
and from all reports it promises to
be a most important affair in the
progress of the county, especially in
the agricultural line.
The demonstration will be under
the auspices of the DeSOto County
Tractor Association, which was re-
Gently organized in that city. The
members of the association are per-
fectng plans to make this meet one
| of the most educational, instructive
and in many other ways, the best
gatherings of men ever in this coun-
ty. 1t will be two days set apart for
the purpose of showing the tillers of
the soil what can be done with power
machinery. What we have failed 10
tractor before now. How much la
Dor can be saved by the use of the
tractor, and how much more work
can be accomplished in a given time
at the most noticeable reduction in
actual cost in money.
Every farmer in DeSoto county
should avail himself of this oppor-
tunity to take these two days off and
come to Arcadia and attend this DEM
orstration. There will be men here
who know soil conditions, know how
to handle power machinery, at what
time it will be best to use machinery
power in the growing field, and slow
how many little items Of labor-sav-
ing devices are attached to one of
these powerful machines.
Letters of inquiry from men al
over the county, and some from ad-
joining counties, indicate a large
number of visitors coming here dur
ing these two days. Men will be
the development CT the agricultural
department of our county. Men who
want to cultivate hundreds of acres
instead of ten or twelve, are seeking
information. They are coming from
every nook and corner of this grand
domain, and when the two days have
come to a close we expect to hear of
great plans being laid for real farms
where today the lands are standing
idle. Lands that are capable of pro-
ducing the finest oranges in the world
and lands that will grow the best
general farm crops and more of them
than any other state in the Union.
Truck farming will be stipulated and
men will awaken to the opportunity
knocking at their doors.
Mr.. Farmer: Leave aside every
thing and come to Arcadia on the
cath and 25th of this month and
you will profit thereby.

MARRIED IN NEW YORK.
Miss Corrine jackson Bride of Stan
ley w. Hyde.

Keen interest on the part of many
friends here as well as in other
places will be awakened by the news
of the marriage of Miss Corinne C.
Jackson, which occurred in New
York City, last Saturday, 18th inst.
The young gentleman who was so
fortunate as to win the heart and
hand of this highly attractive maiden,
is Stanley w. Hyde of Maiden, Mass.
He stands high in the estimation of
the people of that city and is said to
be fully capable in character of prop
erly approaching the treasurer which
he has won. He assuredly merits
the warmest congratulations of his
success.
His bride, as is we'll known, is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. ]. S. Jack
son of Punta Gorda. She spent her
girlhood here, and during that time,
by her winsome manners, lovable
disposition and personal charms, won
the admiration and love OF all with
whom she came in contact. Her
mental and domestic qualifications
eminently fit her for all duties of a
model wife. Her numerous Punta
Gorda friends unite with those in
other states in sincerely wishing for
her long and exceedingly happy
married life.
The honeymoon of the happy cou-
pie is being enjoyed in a sojourn in
the White Mountains of New Hamp-
shire. When it is ended, they will
return to Maiden and make their
home there.

RUNNING WATER.
Convenience that Can be Had in

is no longer considered a luxury, but
