value of scientific methods in the
growing of watermelons is being gen.
orally recognized this year, according
to information given out by the Agri-
cultural Department here. The De-

Their practice is to start spraying
when the third and fourth leaves
show, going over the field every week
or ten days. A power sprayer Ia
used, and crew is kept busy rum

application is finished. This practice
in the past has demonstrated the val

PARTY,
I:jI ENR0UIE TO 0CALA,
FOUND ROADS
IN BAD SHAPE

Friends of sand-clay roads In Lake
and Marion counties were very much
discouraged yesterday, says Secre-
tary Holworthy, who has just returned
from trip to Ocala. Anticipating an
almost perfect road since the compile
ton of the short cut from Auburndale
north to the Polk county line, Mr..
Holworthy left yesterday at one
o'clock with Mr.. and Mrs. Harry s.
Hey in their Buick. The entire
stretch of the new road from Auburn
dale to the bridge at the Polk county
line is in fine shape and one can
travel quite comfortably at 40 miles
an hour. A short stretch of a mile, of
what we used to have the whole dis
tance, separates Polk from the sand
clay road of Lake county into Grove
land, forty-seven miles from Lake
land. This stretch and about eight
or ten miles of the road north of
Groveland is in fine shape but for ten
miles this side of Leesburg and most
of the road between Leesburg and
Ocala has been simply shot to pieces.
The exceedingly heavy rains Of Sun
day and Monday have torn up the fine
Sand-clay roads of which Lake and
Marion people have been so proud in
to ruts, loblollies, quagmires and 9TH
er sights to discourage even the most
callous autoist. However, the Buick
got through, and on time by little
extention given to the supercargo

Having seen what they saw they were

DEVELOPMENT OF
BRAzILla RESOURCES
(By Associated Press.)

Rio De Janeiro, Feb. 3.--One Of the
aims Of Dr.. CocAkran de Alancar,
new ambassador to Wash
ington, will be to invite North Amer
ican capital to take more extensive
part in the development of Brazil's
vast resources. He told the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent just be-
leaving there for here for the United
States by the way of England:
"North Americans already under
stand that our country offers them a
vast field for their activities. Be-
cause of the transport crisis, both the
importation and expectation between
the two countries while considerable,
do not attain the proportions they
ought. Brazil does not import mil
lions and millions of dollars worth
Of goods that she might, due, as I
have said, to this lack Of transporta-
tion. The creation of additional
North American steamship lines to
Brazil would increase the excellent
impression that now exists among the
Brazilian people and commerce.
Ambassador de Alancar said he
hoped to interest groups Of North
American financiers and industria!
concerns in the development Of the
mieral resources Of Brazil. Some
time ago he said, North American
syndicates acquired vast areas o.
mineral lands, iron and manganese
ir. the state of Minas, Geraes. He
pointed to this territory as an op'
portunity for initiative.
Petroleum continued the ambas'
sador, the existence of which Ii
Brazil has been confirmed, ought, 1
properly explored, to constitute ;
great source of national wealth. II
the same way the exploitation Of Bra
zil's woods of which there are vast
untouched forests, ought to offer in
estimable advantages to the grea
markets of the United States especi
ally as we possess woods of the fines
qualities including those especiall.
suitable for the manufacture of pa
per. We shall look forward withil
a short time, to attracting Mort
American capital in the paper indus
try. and the installation of factorie
in Brazil.
"AnoAher point which will have m
special attention is the question c
coffee. Brazil is the greatest coffee
