Columbia, March 20.-Bryan E.

BOARD Of TRADE
MEETS TONIGHT
Traffic Problems of the City Need
Solution, and We Should Have
Baseball and Band Concerts
this Summer

Are you interested in solving the
traffic problems with which the city
finds itself confronted? Would you
like to have open-air band concerts
once a week during the months of
June, July and August? Are you a
baseball fan, and do you want base
ball during the summer months
These matters. which are of general
interest and Importance, will come up
for consideration by the Marion Coun-
ty Board of Trade at its regular
meeting tonight at 8 o'clock. Tt Is
urged that everyone interested be
present at the meeting. Those who
have given thought to the traffic
problems and who have reached some
conclusion with regard to the matter
are especially urged to be present.
A splendid band has been organiz-
ed under the direction of Mrs Sara
Jane Manly, and the Board of Trade
has obtained from the band a propo-
sitlon for a series of concerts during
the summer months, to be given once
week on an evening and at a time
to be decided upon. If the people of
Ocala desire to enjoy music during
the warm weather the opportunity
now presents itself The same is true
of the baseball. Games can be ar
ranged if they can be financed. The
question to be decided is: do the peo-
pie of Oeala want band concerts and
baseball or both?

PLEASANT TIME At
SPARR PICNIC
Lots of OratOry and Good Eats but
Not Fight Nor a FOOtrace
All Day Long

The Sparr picnic given by the good
people of that community Wednesday
was not a big affair as numbers 20,
dinner that couldn't be surpassed
anywhere, it was a success. The rains
and continued threatening weather
kept away many who would other
wise have been on hand.
The arrangements were in charge
OF Messrs. Allan Stephens and James
Thomas, both of whom made it his
sole business to see that every guest
had a good time. The former acted
as master of ceremonies during the
political speaking and the latter su-
pervised the placing on the tables of
the hundreds of good things to eat,
assisted by the ladies.
The candidates were allowed plenty
OF time to deliver their addresses to
the audience, and were all given an
earnest hearing.
Mr.. A. S. Wells, candidate for rail-
road commissioner, addressed those
present, and if applause counts for
anything he will get big share of
the Sparr vote.
Following Mr.. Wells address, the
candidates for the legislature spoke
till dinner time, except Messrs Light
and Mayo, who arrived late and were
invited to speak later in the day.
After the candidates had their say,
a number of pupils from the inter
mediate department of the Sparr
school, of which Mr.. Shealy, canGi-
date for county superintendent. was
principal last term, were lined up in
front of the speakers stand and sang
a song to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle"
setting forth their approval of Mr.
Snealy for the Office to which he
aspires. The children. who were in
charge of Mrs. George B. Pasteur,
assistant teacher, took off their parts
splendidly, and made the hit of the
day.
People were present from the four
corners of the county and the center
of the county (Ocala) was especially
well represented.
After the regular program was
completed Senator Crosby took the
stand and made an appeal for the can
didates of his choice (as well as some
that were not his choice) for the
state Offices.
Nothing new in the way of political
platforms was sprung on the people
by the candidates, but there were sew
eral new entries for the title of cham
pion eater, viz: Jim Howell, Ed Nor
gan and Lee Futch, the latter can
didate for county judge. The last
list is still open for candidates, and
unless there are other entries there
will probably be "no decision" as the
Sparr contest was declared three
cornered tie.
Everyone present at the Sparr pic
mic came away with the best of feel
ing and the expressed intention of re-
turning at the first intimation of an
invitation to do so.

FARM NOTES BY
THE COUNTY AGENT

Many calls have come in lately for
information as to the cause and rem
edy for "white-budding" and french
ing" of corn. During some years
these troubles seem to be more prev
alent than in others, and this year
appears to be the worst yet. Ordi-
narily farmers regard them as one
and the same, affection. but they are
different. "White-budding" makes it's
appearance soon after the corn comes
up and usually disappears when the
weather warns up and the plant gets
to growing rapidly, while "frenching"
may show up later and finally kills
the plant, or so weakens it that no
grain is produced.
So far. these troubles have not
been fully worked out and are rot
sufficiently understood that cure
can be offered. Our own observations,
tho, leads US to believe that plenty
of ammonia, or humus, will prevent
the "frenching," or will help to over
come it. Spots in affected fields that
have had stable fertilizer and low
places that are rich from decayed
trouble. If ammonia is the thing
needed, it would seem that good ap-
plication of nitrate of soda ought to
help. We hope to make a test Of
this, and will announce anything
definite that is learned.
+ -
A careful watching of the water
melons will be wise at this time. "Let
US watch and spray" should be the
attitude of the growers. Should an
thracnose show up in a field, every
shower of rain. or damp day, will be
favorable for the spread of this dis
ease. 1t is fungus trouble and
throws off spores (eggs), which can
form only under moist conditions. 1t
can be recognized by irregular, dark,
dead spots on the leaves, which dry
up and die. The stems and young
fruit may be spotted in the same
manner and the larger melons may
develop water-soaked and sunken
spots.
An inspection on the Goth of 100
acres of melons in the county showed
very little of this disease present, but
viligance even in these fields will be
the safe course for the owners. For
with frequent rains the spores spread
rapidly and a whole field may be
ruined in one week.
| As soon as anthracnose are detect
ed, spraying with bordeaux mixture
of the strngth of 4-4-50 should begin,
and applications made every 10 to ID
days in dry weather and 5 to days IN
rainy weather. To make this take
pounds of bluestone. 4 pounds of lump
lime and so gallons of water. Use
wooden vessels. dissolve the bluestone
in 25 gallons of water, slake the lime
in small amount of water and add
25 gallons of water, stir the two solu-
tions we'll and then mix them both to.
gether, pouring them in equal quan,
titles. Strain the mixture and use
while fresh. VIM. A. Seasons,
County Agent.
