Plat Early Starter
Platt started at 8:12, Philadelphia
time. but the cold. damp winds at
North Shore did not affect his game 10

was hole high in two on In chop and
took four puts on the terraced green.
He then proceeded to cut down like a
scared rabbit, and should have had six
threes in a row. After dropping a

at the sixth, sank two birds in row,
and took three puts on the ninth, out
in 80. re came home for three
holes in par, but missed putt on the
thirteenth and took three on the eight

Platt had the low score Of either
course shortly before noon. The drizzle

afternoon. Jesse Guilford, the Boston

SUNDAY BALL UNopPosEp
Champion Of "Blue Laws" inactive
at National Park

National Park, N. j., Sept. 6.--Yes-
terday's bali game was plaed with
out any interference on the part of the
Citizens Protective League. 1t Is now
believed that league members will make
no further attempt to stop Sunday
games because the season is drawing to
a close, but will put forth their efforts
to elect two members of Council at the
coming election so that they can have
passed an ordinance prohibiting Sunday
baseball games.
The failure to find a constable or
deputy. sheriff to serve the forty war
rants issued by Justice Chism was a
disappointment to the league members.
Had they secured an official to act,
then arrests would be made each Sun
day.
Today's game between National Park
A. A. and the Castle Kid team, Of Cam
den, was witnessed by a large crowd.
Mayor Waters was on hand with ten
special officers, who serve each Sunday
free of charge. It Is their duty to see
that there is no disorder of any kind
nor any loud cheering. New seats have
been erected and the diamond roped
off so that the spectators cannot inter-
fere with the players. ~.

Wilmington, DEL. Sept. G.-All traf
fc on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
including several express trains, was
held up for more than half an hour early
yesterday as two motorists were engaged
in assaulting the watcnman on duty in
the signal tower at Silverside. several
miles from this city. The watchman,
Robert A. Riley, was badly beaten.
William II. Wilson and Thomas
Whitby, of Talleyville, Del, were ar

According to Riley's story. he had
lowered the gates for the passage of an
express when the two drove up in n
motorcar. crashing through the gates
and damaging the car. He said they
mounted the tower, cursing and began
concerted attack on him. Riley
hastily set the red signals against all
trains and turned to meet his assailants.

II Is impossible to judge it's profits IN

One of the favorite exhibits of the
operators is to point to their profits on
coal at the mines as sixty cents or go

IMPORTANT MEETINGS
FOR FARMERS


Next week at Gainesville there viii
be held two events that should be Of
great importance to the farmers Of
Marion county. Reference is made to
the citrus seminar on the 5th and 9Th
of October and to the livestock round
up on the 7th and 9Th. Both meetings
will be under. the direction of the
extension division of the university
and very strong programs have been
prepared.
The seminar is conducted for the
benefit of those who are interested IN
citrus fruits and furnishes an oppor-
tunity for the citrus growers to per-
sonalIy discuss their problems with
the experiment station authorities.
Practically all of the scientific knowl-
edge, relating. to the citrus industry
in Florida has been worked put by
our experiment station. and attend
ance there next week viii give the
grower the chance to learn at first
hand all that has been DISCOVERIES
during the past year along his line
of work. The program has been well
arranged and covers all phases of the
industry from the nursery to the
market. The whole state should feel
fortunate in being honored with the
presence of DIR. H. J. Webber. direc-
tor of the California experiment sta
tion, on the program. DR.. Webber's
scientific fame is of national and IN
ternational standing and there is no
man in the world ahead of him in the
study Of citrus diseases. His subject
will be "Problems of Citrus Culture"
The roundup is put on IN the inter-
lest of the livestock farmer and the
program for this concerns every tYpo
of livestock grown on the farm. Re
! better opportunity can be offered cur
farmers for the discussion Of their
problems, for the interchange OF ideas
as to the best methods of production,
feeding and marketing their animals
and for demanding Of the experiment
station authorities the help needed in
solving their problems that viii be
given by this meeting next week. Any
farmer, who is interested IN poultry,
hogs, cattle, sheep and horses and
wants the very latest information as
to the best ways of carrying on the
business, should attend the roundup
and learn what the most successful
farmers are doing and what the ex-
Eperiment station people are finding
out for him. If he has problems that
are new and different to those of
other farmers. he should 90 up and
tell what they are and ask for help.
The experiment station is our insti-
tuition and stands ready to help If we
will call on it. VIM. A. Seasons.

i DIFFICULT PROPOSITION

Editor Star: Speaking of the diff
ficulty of being fair, ! think it Is
about as difficult to be consistent. For
instance, the Ocala Banner in long
editorial called down the Tampa Tri-
bune for opposing the bond amend
ment on account of the proposition to
tax automobiles to the exclusion Of
all other property to pay the princi-
pal and interest on the bonds, and
published the proposed amendment IN
full to show that no such proposition
was nominated in the bond and that
Shylock (the legisIature1 could de-
mand the pound of flesh in such man
ner as it saw fit. and in the same is
sue said "a vote for the bond issue
and the McRae system of providing
ways and means for meeting tine bond
issue, win accomplish the work" Now
the McRae proposition is no more a
part of the amendment than the other
and has less merit, for automobiles
use the roads and gasoline is used
for many other purposes than to run
automobiles. By the way, please tell
me just what is a minimum tax on
gasoline" / must commend the BAN
ner for its fairness in publishing
many good arguments against the
amendment, even IL do chide it just
a little for what seems to me incon-
sistent. w. ". Clyatt.

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

As we have stated before, the prop
or time to select seed corn is when
the stalk is still green enough to de-
ternaine the true type of plant. How
ever, if the selection was not made
then the next best time is when gath
ering the corn crop. A box. or bar
rell, should be placed in the wagon,
or on the side OF the. body, and the
larger and better looking ears Of corn
thrown into this as the crop is being
pulled. When brought to the crib
these choice ears should be put by
themselves and treated as the rest of
the corn against the weevil. Then,
next spring when seed corn il wanted
it viii be small job to go over these
choice ears and select the very best
ones for planting.

There is no question about carpet
grass being the best grass for our low
woods lands. This grass is known in
different localities by different names.
Some of the names are ahammock
grass, 2 BLANKET grass. goose
grass" afat grass" etc. While all
of us have seen it all of our lives. it
was not until lately that its value was
discovered. Probably this was be-
cause not much thought had been Civ
en- TO Improved pasture until in recent
Carpet grass can be Alanted on cul-
tivated land or on open forest and
cut-over lands with good success.
Where land is prepared for it. ten
pounds of seed should be sown per
acre and the soil thoroughly firmed.
When planted on woods land, all
grass and brush should be burned off
in winter and about five pounds of
seed sOwn per acre. Nothing further
viii be required except to keep plenty
lof animals on the land so that the
native grasses viii be eaten short and
Igive the carpet grass an opportunity
TO become established. Evidence so
far shows that plowing, narrowing or
dlscing is not necessary or desirable
Seed of carpet grass has been very
scarce and the demand up TO now has
been greater than the supply. How
ever, we have a list of the growers
who are offering the seed for sale this
season and shall be glad to furnish il
to any one wishing it. The time fol
sowing is spring and early summer
when there is plenty of moisture tc
insure termination.
