A Washington dispatch says:
without u record vote theHouse has
passed the Fordncy bill, to prevent
foreign manufacturers from flooding
American markets with products sold
at q lower price in the United States
than in the country of manufacture.
The measure would authorize the
secvretary Of the treasury to send
agents to inspect the books and
plants of manufacturers of exports
to the United States and to study
prices of such merchandise abroad.

Many farm vehicles are uselessly
worn out by ccnStant contraction and
expansion due to the changing
weather conditions, if they are
housed in the open with the blue sky
for the roof. Buggy and wagon
wheels expand when it is wet, and
contract when it is dry. The life of
vehicles, and intact all farm machin-
cry, iG prolonged by careful housing.

The price of eggs is higher than
ever before know. Those who knew
how and what to feed hens and get
the most eggs all winter and spring
will reap profits. Florida has the
miIdest winter climate in the union
and should be the premier State in
the production Of eggs. Hens COM
PEELED to hunt their own living and
roost in any old place will not bring
results. The poultry industry has a
great future in Florida by right eff
fort.

Success in any line of work means
attention 10 details. The farmer who
is not willing to give proper consider
alton to feeding and caring for live
stock should try some other occu-
patton.

The children Of a school in Wake

two acres of tomatoes and realized
$3.50. With this sum of money they

ton for Florida schools.

The farmer is the foundation man
of the nation. His is the first work OF
Importance, because out OF the soil
must come the food Of the people and
the raw material of prosperity. The
year of 1919 rumbled and tossed
with strikers and rumors and indus
trial unrest, but they are matters of
no serious import so long as the pro-
ducGon OF food and feed continues.
Only when there 10 plenty of food
will it be possible for prices to come
down.

Good farming machinery is the
key to increased efficiency in agri-
culture. 1t reduces the cost of grow
ing crops, provides shorter working
hours for the farmer, returns larger
profits for him, lighte2s his burdens,
increases his crop yields, and makes
life worth living. But what IL i'm
portant it should be taken good care
of - protected from rain and sun.

The pecan tree can be made to serve

The North American Reindeer
Company capitalized at $4,000 has
been granted a concession of $4,000
square miles of land north of the
Churchill River, in northwest Can
ada, to craze cariboo and reindeer
upon. Now we will have canned
reindeer meat on the market, just as
we have the meat of whales and
sharks.

The U. S. Bureau of Chemistry is
getting out bulletin explaining how
to make cane strip by methods that
do away with the danger of it cry
stalking and fermenting. Write let
ter to Ser~tor Duncan U. Fletcher,
Washington, D. c., for copy. The
Senator has had the matter up with
the DR.. Alsberg, the chemist of the
department of agriculture, and the
latter has asked for a list of names
of those may be interested.

The business OF the world begins
moving on the country roads. The
farms provide much of the raw ma
terial and the food for the use OF
mankind. The road is vital to every
interest, the getting to market, the
cost of living, the value of land, the
attendance at school and church. and
the general comfort and pleasure OF
the people. There is only one side to
the Importance of good roads.
