MAY DEVELOP GUM MARKET
Opening of Mesopotamia to Civiliza.
ton Likely TO Add Largely to the
Worlds Supply.

As law and order come into the wild
and unsettled mountains of MesopO-
tamia, especially when new roads and
the eventual railway connect the
northern Kurdish country around No
sui with the rest of the world, many
now useless tree and shrub will
doubtless be put to service as CON
trlbl;0r Of gum. The gums Of Meso
potamia have many commercial uses.
and the unsystematic tapping and
trading that now brings the product
on pack animals TO Suleimanaya,
where merchants buy it from the
kurds and sell it again to other mer-
chants in Bagdad is a mere sugges-
tlon of the industry that may be de-
veloped by enterprising promoters who
may have observed the extent of this
natural resource in Mesopotamia and
looked further af1eld than Aleppo and
Bagdad for markets. Now that Brit
ish occupation has opened the land to
western Ideas, It would not be sur
prising If the gum industry grew to be
source of considerable national
wealth, and an important factor In
creating new Mesopotamia.

Milk as q food has been receiving
more attention in the last quarter Cf
a century than at any previous time.
In the United States there has been
a great increase in the average guam
tity Of milk used by each person. but
II is only within the last few years that
we have reached an average conSump-
tion of one pound a day. Thirty years
ago the per capita quantity consumed
was estimated at half of what it is to-
day Much of this increased CON
sumption is due to a more widespread
knowledge of the food value of milk
and to regulations requiring better
methods of production and better san
ftation.
One pound of whole milk "a day
makes 42.4 gallons a year. This may
seem like great quantity of milk, hut
a growing child should have twice this
amount,
Milk in Other Countries.
In several countries the average con-
sumption of milk is larger than it is
In the United States The people Of
Sweden and Denmark use IL pints a
day and those OF Germany and Bel
GUM prior to the war used more than
pint per capita. The Netherlands
Holland) is one Of the great dairy
countries, as the Dutch people are
fond Of all kinds Of milk products.
The whole-milk consumption of that
country is about twice that Of the
United States. In Italy the greater
part of the milk consumed is goats
milk. for the Italians believe it is bet
ter than cows milk. The larger part
Of the cow milk. sheen milk and buffa-
10 milk is used for making butter and
cheese.
In the hot countries of Asia and At
RIGA the milk is often used after it has
clabbered, as sour and fermented
milks are considered very healthful.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO RAISE WHEAT
Survey of Cost of Wheat Production
Now Under Way.

The Washington State Experiment
Station, the Idaho State Experiment
Station and the U. S. Department of
Agriculture are cooperating in
study of the organization OF wheat
farms and the cost of producing wheat
in the Palouse country A survey is
being made of between 200 and 800
farms in the Pullman Moscow area,
approximately half of the farms being
in Idaho and half in Washington.
Each cooperating party is supplying
two men for the work which is now
actively under way and which it is
hoped to have finished early in July.
Mr.. Earl d. Strait of the Office of
Farm Management is in charge for
the U. S. Department of Agriculture;
| Mr.. Byron Hunter, head of Farm
Management Investigations of the
| University of Idaho, for the Idaho
Experiment Station, and Professor
George Severance, head of the De-
partment of Farm Management of
State College of Washington, for the
Washington State Experiment Station.
Working with Professor Severance
are Professor Floyd Heck of the De-
partmeut of Soils and Mr.. e. R. John
son, Research Fellow of the Depart
ment of Farm Management
In this survey it is expected to de-
| termine what systems of farm man
aGcmeHt give the best economic re-
turns and what it costs to produce a
bushel of wheat under present condi-
tons. The amount of labor involved,
the hours of man labor and of horse
labor or tractor labor necessary to
handle a given area effectively will
be analysed and factors calculated
which will make possible the use of
these findings in estimating costs of
production under given conditions of
yield. labor and money prices. Strong
indications also will be secured of the
type of farm organization which will
be most satisfactory over a series of
years.
The conclusion of the survey and
the publication of the results should
be of great service not only to the far
mer in planning his farm operations
and his farming business, but also to
the people of the cities in giving them
a clearer understanding of just what
it costs to produce the crops of the
farm.

The Ocala evening star. [volume] (Ocala, Fla.) 1895-1943, 1920-12-18

While we have received no official
notification. we infer from the gener-
nj expressions of sentiment that Con-
gresham Frank Clark will be can
didate for the Senate in 1922, against
Senator Trammell Should the infer
cnce be confirmed. the Star will sup
port Mr.. Clark. He is man of high
ability and wide acquaintance with
public affairs, and there is never any
doubt of what stand he takes on a
question. The Star has not been a
warm political supporter of Mr.. Tram
nell since the Marianne massacre,
after which he refused to put the men
responsible out of Office. We must adj
nit that Mr.. Trammell has made a
fairly good record as senator. And
&c is undoubtedly popular. A race
between him and Mr.. Clark would be
q very interesting one.

There are strong indications al
over the South that farmers and bus
mess men are becoming weary of the
political attitude of this section on the
tariff attitude into which they
are forced mostly by selfish northern
politicians. The tariff is not a moral
and shouldn't be a political issue II
is an economic question and should be
so treated. The farmers of Marion
county are today suffering from the
attitude of political bullheads on the
tariff. The Star doesn't believe in a
prohibitive tariff. But it believes that
cur decent living American farmers
and mechanics should have protection
against the half-naked black and yell
low workers of the tropics and the
tolshevized labor of Europe

Dear Mr.. Benjamin. Editor Ocala
Star: Read your editorial on what
you thought about Duvars defeat at
the hands of Haverhill's team and,
Mr.. Editor, if you were not at the
game think it would be good idea
to inform you that Haverhill out
weighed Duval over twenty pounds to
the man, and that's considerably more
than Duval outweighed Oeala- and
there was also considerable differ
cree in the score of the Duval-Haver-
hill game and that of the Duval-Ocala
battle. qAnd again, Mr.. Editor, from
the mouths of famous coaches of va
rious Southern colleges, who happen
&C to attend this game, we were in
formed by that as a fighting team Du-
val was Haverhill's superior. The only
stumbling block was the weights of
human beings and weights that would
go well on college team. As far as
Ilaverhill being so far ahead of Duval
rs machine, Mr. Editor, would like
to say that place Haverhill against
Duval in actual weight and there
wouldn't be anything in Haverhill's
favor. It is too bad that you don't
appreciate our team, Mr.. Benjamin,
but it's the only one in the state as far
as can see and if Ocala doesn't know
it probably would be good idea for
the writer to send you few clippings
on that game that Ocala played here.
/ saw Ocala here and there was much
difference in Ocala's weight and that
of Haverhill-Red in Times-U Union.
Dear Mr. Red: We don't know
what you are driving at. When Du-
val plays another Florida team, it's
our inclination to be neutral, but as
Floridian, we naturally regretted to
have Duval lose a game to team
from another state. and we tried to
give natural explanation for the de-
feat-an explanation endorsed, by the
way, by a competent football critic
who saw the game. We were not sore
over Ocala's defeat. We simply said
it was wrong to send such a light, I'M
practiced team against one with more
weight and more practice, and if you
will look up your files you will find
that you heartily endorsed our re-
parks. We daresay that your opinion
of the respective skill of Haverhill
and Duval is honest, but it doesn't
agree with that of good many other
people who saw the game.

WHAT'S THE PUBLIC WILL?

The state railroad commission will
meet in Ocala shortly to investigate
the matter of removing the Seaboard
Air.L Line freight depot from the basin
at the head of Silver Springs. The
secretary of the Board of Trade calls
attention to the fact that this hearing
OF the commission is for the purpose
of finding out what the public wants
done in the matter. The Board of
Trade has appointed committee to
meet with the commission, but this
committee is uninstructed. The only
position that the Board of Trade has
taken in the matter has been to ask
the railroad commission to refuse
permission for the removal of the de-
pot until the public could be heard
from in the matter. What does the
public want done in the matter?
The secretary of the Board of Trade
holds the personal opinion that the
people of Marion county have failed
to catch the vision of what Silver
Springs really are, as is so often the
case with those who live so close to
a thing. In the secretary's opinion
the springs should be classed with
such natural wonders as Mammoth
Cave, the hot springs and geysers of
Yellowstone Park and the Catalina
Islands, and because the springs are
such a natural wonder he thinks that
the basin at the head of the springs
and the other basins containing the
boils should be kept free. of the UNI
slghtliness and the dissertation and
despoilage of commercial traffic.
Freight traffic especially, with it's
filth and trash, should be kept farther
down the river, the secretary thinks,
and out of the springs themselves. No
freight wharves should be permitted
rear the springs. In putting them
further down the river, of course, the
necessary roads must be built to them,
Gays the, secretary, and these roads
and thesnecessary wharves down the
river SHOulu NC PIoNlucu 1OT De1OT0
the present wharf is removed.
The secretary would like to see the
lands around Silver Springs eventual
ly become public property to be main
tanned as park, city, state or ma
tional. At present the waters of the
springs being navigable, ere under
public control, but the lands around
the springs are private property.
The secretary's ideas are good.
