Proper Grading Extends Market Pc
Rod Of Apples Many
Months.

The selling value of fresh fruit and
vegetable shipments is judged largely
on appearance when received. say spe-
cialists of the Bureau of Markets, Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture.
Fruit should be well graded or assert

ner and shipped when weather and
market conditions seem most favor
able.
Grading is one of the most import
ant factors in preparation for the
market. 1t is being studied by special
lists of the bureau from every angle.
Grades, which are optional. have been
suggested for number of commodi-
ties, and this work is being continued
The marketing of the apple crop
suggests the value of grading If ap-
Piles were not graded, the entire crop
would have to be disposed of within
four months. 1t is estimated that
proper handling has extended the mar
keting period to seven or eight months.
Investigation and experience have
both shown that it only pays to ship
the best produce. Stock which is not
suitable for storage and shipment may
be disposed of in the vicinity where
grown, and the lowest quality should
be diverted to by-products factories.

PROFIT RECORDS CONVERT
A MAN TO POULTRY RAISING

Money talks. A home demontsra-
ton agent of the United States De
partment of Agriculture in Sheridan
county. Wyo., tells of a farmer who
remained unconvinced for five years
that his wife's dabbling in poultry
paid. She has now proved to him
through the systematic records she
keeps that she can make more money
with chickens on one acre of land
than he can by farming 80 acres.
His wife is now raising chickens on
large scale for exhibition purposes,
and also sells chickens and eggs to the
Pullman diner service.

FIRST JULY 4

A tablet, erected near American
Lake, on the military grounds OF
Camp Lewis, by the pioneers OF Pierce
county to mark the supposed spot
where Capt. Charles Wilkes, U. S. NJ,
and his men, held the first July cele-
pration in that section of the state is
the cause of considerable discussion
among the pioneers of the state, the
question being, Where was the first
independence Day celebration actu-
ally held in Western Washington.
Ezra Meeker and c. B. Bagley, ac-
cording to the Seattle Post-lntelll-
gencer, maintain that the actual spot
of the celebration was four miles from

The Gainesville News is trying to
construe Article H. of the constitution,
and advances its own opinions to back
it's theory. We do not advance any
theory-we take the words of the ar
ticle to mean what they say At the
time the constitution was framed, the
average citizen kept at least one gun
in his house, and there was no objec-
ton to his keeping what the News
calls "an arsenal" Compared to what
the people considered an arsenal in
those days, one high-powered rife is
much more effective in these. Our OBJ
lection TO disarming the people is not
so much on account of robbers and
murderers as because history shows
that an unarmed people has always
become subjugated people. We think
that killing a man once in awhile of
very little consequence compared to
bringing up generation that neither
has nor knows how to use arms. Such
people are but little better than
slaves. Also, this stuff about the re-
volver being responsible for murder is
foolishness. Men killed each other in
greater proportion before gunpowder
was invented than they do now Even
now, only small minority of killings
is done with pistols. We have heard
more than one good lawyer say that
| if the rife and pistol regulations OF
the various states were taken to the
supreme court, they would be SCI
aside, and why shouldn't they? Ar.
ticle H. has never been amended.

PAPER PULP
Tampa Tribune)


The manufacture of commercial pa
per pulp from Florida sawgrass has
been completely demonstrated as a
reasonable and profitable industry.
Two large pulp factories are being
built in this state, one at Leesburg
and the other at Fort Myers; a third
will be built, according to announced
plans, at Moore Haven.
The long seeing and opportunity
recognizing ability of Gilbert Leach,
editor of the Leesburg Commercial,
years ago visioned great paper pulp
industry for Florida. Through his
persistent activity men of means and
ability have been also interested with
him; and today there is formed COM
pany which is going forward rapidly
with the building work.
The sale of-the limited amount of
stock to be disposed of is progressing
well, and a certain amount of it has
been placed in the hands of brokers of
note and other fiduciaries for the
more rapid distribution of it. 1t is
believed that by early summer both
these pulp mills will be in operation,
ard contributing their first aid to the
paper pulp demand of the country.

The reason why the supreme court
reversed Judge Lands in the case of
Berger was that the judge was accus-
ed by the defendants counsel of dis
like to Germans and Austrians.' Judge
Lands being an American and Amer
lea being at war with those two coun-
tries could hardly be expected to do
anything but dislike them. Any Judge
who liked Germans at that time would
have been traitor to his country.
Judge Landis' dislike for Germans did
not effect the testimony and did not,
in our opinion, warp his sense of JUS
tice. Drumhead courtmartials in time
of war are the best justice for a coun-
try against it's enemies.

BROTHER HOOKS
WANTS A MAGAZINE

Editor Star: Wanted-A good ar
ticle from some one of authority, who
has no axe to grind-one who will
give the living evidence other than
just get more money; that the results
of our present schools is satisfactory
to the thinking people of the age. By
evidence, i do not mean lot of peo-
pie who are holding certificates as
teachers, stenographers or some one
holding an Office job, but of general,
practical education.
A writer in one of our most widely
circulated magazines, states "that
there are 100000 teachers who last
year demonstrated the fact that there
is something wrong with our public
school system, other than inadequate
pay" In all my research find no one
boosting the present results of the
public schools.
We had with us some time ago, the
president of the state board of educa-
ton, who pretended to be lecturing on
"The Needs of Education" whose
whole theme turned out to be, get
more money, more money. The slang
he used in his discourse indicated that
more real education would have better
fitted him for lecture on the subject,
''The Needs of Education"
Our next legislature should see that
taxation for this educational craze be
checked, unless we can get better re-
suits.
If any one can find an article of the
above nature, will they please write to
me at Oxford. Fla. C. A. Hooks.

Measured by purchasing power the
wages of labor were no higher when
they were highest than the prices of
comodities were when at the peak of
high prices. In fact labor did not soar
as high above the normal as prices
did and could not buy as much for the
high wages it received as it could
when wages and prices were normal

Maybeso, but somehow labor was
able to squander a great deal of
