pilation was made. More than S95

them tomatoes of which crop it was
commonly supposed the East Coast
had a monopoly. Watermelons, cab
bage. string beans, cucumbers, let
tuce, cantaloupes, all figured large in
the Marion county truck yield for the
last spring season The showing is
more especially fine for Marion coun-
ty; its grand, when it is remembered
that trucking is practically side line,
general farming being the main bust
ness of Marion's agriculturists.
Here is the showing made by one
Marion county trucker, Mr.. J. G.
Johnson. VINO shipped from 40 acres
planted in tomatoes, 5000 crates, with
1000 crates additional from 20 acres
in which he had a half interest. the
net return from his tomatoes being
about $500. In 1920 his tomato crop
brought him $4,000 from 40 acres:
in 1919, $4,000 from 45 acres; in
1913, over $4,000 from 20 acres; in
1917 over $1,000 from twenty acres.
Such production facts as these are
more convincing of Marion county
soil value than anything that could be
said in the way of the booster.
A copy of the report of the Fourth
Section Committee of Southern Car
riers made following the conference
in Atlanta with representative Of snip
pers in July shows that the proposed
changes in freight rates to Florida
points remain substantially the same
as proposed in the original Fourth
Section report. There are some minor
changes but the report still eiubodies
the principle of the long ard short
haul. 1t eliminates Tampa and SAT-
ford, for example, as basing points,
which advantage these cities have hal
because of water competition. All
points south of Ocala including Tam
pa and Sanford have higher rates
than Ocala, under the proposed rate
schedule. Under existing freight rates,
both Sanford and Tampa enjoy lower
rates than Ocala and under the propos
ed schedule these two points will
have higher rates than Ocala. Tampa
as has been announced, proposes to
fight the new rates by shipping by
water and motor trucks.
A copy of the new report of the
Fourth Section Committee has been
received by the Marion County Board
of Trade and may be seen by any of
the shippers who are interested.
Mr.. Sellars also says: Marion coun-
ty dairymen and cattle owners gener-
ally are interested in the creamery to
be established in OcaIa. This will
undoubtedly prove worthy enter
prise. Marion county has all the re-
quisites for successful dafryfng and
ought to make an immense success
of this creamery. Florida stands with
open arms to receive its products if
proper care is given to their manu-
facture and necessary advertising is
done to popuIarize them

Corn that grew in Tennessee in pre-

Identification During recent excava-

of charred maize in fairly good condi-

variety as Many -Rowed Tropical Flint,
a form about half way between true
flint and popcorn.

Stable Manure in the Grove

Groves that will not grow cover
crops should have an application Of
stable manure, three to six tons per
acre. to improve the biological condi-
ton of the soil. A soil may contain
sufficient plant food to grow cover
crop. and yet be void of the necessary
bacteria to render this plant food
available to the plants Stable ma
nre will not only supply the needed
bacteria but will add favorable med
ium for its development. and will con-

A New Fruit For Florida
1t was the good fortune Of the
Grower man to be in position to
make note recently OF new fruit for
Florida. 1t is called Passion Fruit. <
and, although the name might suggest
tropical origin. it has long been
known in Australia, and is said to be
just a little bit harder than citrus
fruit. When we first viewed it we
thought of the lowly @Maypop for
there is a slight resemblance i'm form
to that wild product OF our fields
throughout the country. The ma
ture Of the beast is vastly different.
however, for very, very few of us ever
acquired taste for Maypops. We
defy anyone who tastes the Passion
Fruit without showing a pleased ex-
preston and feeling a longing for
more. The effect on the palate is
rather hard to describe, we think, and
there is something reminiscent in the
flavor suggesting a wine grape no,
strawberry no well, taste it your
self and judge.
After eating Of the golden pulp Of
the fruit is IS very easy to imagine
delicious deserts, salads. ices, and ali
the things we Of this day and age think
SO highly necessary for the rounding

that in any event they will not carry

1t can be seen from this that with

that there is loss of So. ton when
it is used as a fertilizer. Itstil1 pays
the cotton farmer to sell his cotton
seed or exchange it for meal As
cotton seed meal is chiefly valuable
as a fertilizer because of its nitrogen
content, its money value as ferti-
lizer depends mainly upon the per-
centage of nitrogen it contains and
the price of nitrogenous fertilizers
With nitrate of soda selling at 5000
a ton, or other nitrogen fertilizers al
an equivalent price and cotton seed
meal containing 6 per cent nitrogen
selling at $4,000 a ton, there is .
margin of $500 in favor of the cot

meal as a fertilizer at $4,000 a tor
would be Improbable.

Easy To Darken
Your Gray Hair
You Can Bring Back Color and Lus1
ire with Sage Tea and Sulphur 4

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trou-
blesome AT little cost, you can buy
at any drug store the ready-to-use
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Conn
pound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw. this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and after am
other application or two your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with

coRDELE DEBATES
HERE FRIDAY

Mr. Hall announced Tuesday morn
ing in chapel that he had received a
letter from the president of the Third
District High School association, stat
ing that the preliminary trislgular de-
bate would be held Friday night,
March Is. On that night, Fitzgerald
will meet Cordele and Ashburn in a
triangular debate Each town has two
teams: Cordele negative team comes
here andeMeets out affirmative, ours
goes to Ashburn, and Ashburn's goes
to Cordeie. This will be the first en-
counter through which we must pass
for the district meet, for the winner Of
this triangle will meet the winner of
the other triangles OF the district at the
meet in Ashburn on April "a. There
fore it is absolutely necessary that
Fitzgerald should win this triangular
debate next Friday night.
The regulations this year ii, regard
to judges, has been somewhat changed
from the system in use in previous
years, Each team now will furnish a
judge, and the third judge is to be a
man from out of the district, who is
to be furnished by the town which the
debate is held in.
Mr.. Hall announces that the debate
will be held here in the court house

COTTON SEED COTTON SEED
MEAL AND FERTILIZERS

The Georgia Experiment Station has
received a number Of inquiries of late
in regard to the advisability of using
cotton seed in place of cotton seed
meal or commercial fertilizer, at the
present prices.
In the following is given the aver
age analyses of number of samples
of cotton seed and cotton seed meal:
Cotton Seed Meal: 600 per ct. Nitro
gen; 2.88 per ct.Phosphoric Acid and
LII per ct. Potash.
Cotton Seed: 3.13 per ct. Nitrogen;
1.27 per CT Phosphoric Acid; liz per
ct. Potash.
In favor of cotton seed meal: 2.87
per ct. Nitrogen; l.67 per ct. Phosphor-
ic Acid; 90 per ct. Potash.
1t can be seen from this that cotton
seed meal has nearly two times the
amount of nitrogen and phosphoric
acid and about one and one-half the
amount of potash in it as has cotton
seed. But this does not tell the whole
story. The cotton seed, is a carbo-
hydrate and has no fertilizing value.
Its removal is an actual benefit as the
cotton seed meal has its elements in
a more readily available form, as the
oil in cotton seed prevents their rap
id decay. Also, cotton seed meal is
in better form for mixing and hand
ling than cotton seed. 1t is generally
considered that two and one-third
times as much cotton seed as cotton
seed meal must be applied to an acre
of ground in order to obtain the same
effect.
The fertilizer market appears so
unstable at the time of writing this
article that it is difficult to set a
price on the various fertilizing ele-
ments. However, if the retail price of
10 per cent acid phosphate is taken at
