Sorehead Remedy
Here is new method for keeping
sorehead out of the chicken flock.
Hang a piece of canvas over the OBJ.
ening of the feed hopper Cut Sits in
this canvas, and keep the Sits well
creased with an antiseptic salve. In
feeding, the birds get the saIve on
their heads, and this means no sore
head.
This is a remedy reported by Miss
Lois Cooley, home demonstration
agent for Polk county. She states
that the method is that of a Mr.. Max
well, of Lakeland, who recommends
it highly.
Do Not Burn the Woods
Scientists and other people who
know tell us that the life of our soil
depends upon the continuance addition
. to it of humus, particularly that
grown thereon They also tell US that
the most destructive agent of this
humus upon which soil life is depend
ent is fire.
They tell US these things, and we
know they are right. Knowing this.
IL behooyes US to discredit the burning
of woods and foreses, grass and trees.
Knowing that it is not for the best
good of the individual, the community
and the state for any person to burn
to ashes the gress and trees that
nature grew for us. we cannot stand
idly by and not proclaim this the de-
structive practice it really is.
A farmer wants fresh burns" or
fresh grass, for his cattle in the
spring. He sticks a match to the
grass, says let 'er burn and goes
on about his business. He is justi-
fed in wanting fresh grass for his

cattle. In fact, that desire in him is
commendable. However, there is an
other side to this story. First, there
is better way of getting this grass.
Second, there are other generations,
following the present one and the de-
structive practices of one generation
result in added hardships for their
children and their children's children.
Do not burn off grass and humus.
Let it stand to shade the earth and
finally to die, rot and form more soil
that will be full of life. So treated it
will not take long for the soil to null
tiply over and over in fertility and
productivity. From such soil will
grow grasses that will be ten times
more valuable for all purposes of the
farmer and cattleman than the grass
es he gets by burning the woods
An ex-ocala Attorney Sees Profit
In Making Hay
A crop valued at $1,000 was produc-'
ed on one acre of ground on the Ridge
in Polk county in four months this
summer, according to Edwin Spencer,
Jr., of Lakeland, county attor-
ney for Polk county and owner
of the land Merker grass was
the crop with which Mr.. Spencer be-
lieves a record was established. Joe
Caliman, Rumanian farmer, of Peace
Valley, about four miles from here,
produced the crop which was pur-
chased by the Valparaiso Development
Company.
Merker grass is native of South
Africa, where it is known as elephant
grass" 1t grows to height of from
IL to Is feet in four months and is
regarded as an excellent stock food,
the elements it contains being similar
to those of alfalfa.
New Watermelon District Attracts
WiEe Attention
A half-million-dollar cash crop of
watermelons is grown annually in two
counties of southeastern Missouri,
which were recently considered swamp
| counties. BY clearing and draining
these lands a sandy soil is obtained,
which, with abundant moisture and hot
weather, is making the section widely
wnokn for its watermelons. The dis
trict, which has been developed the
past ten years, centers around Ken
nett, where a representative of the
Bureau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture. is stationed each year
to aid in marketing the crop. The
season extends approximately from
July 25 to August 30, which about
bridges the gap between heavy south
ern shipments and the heavy yield
farther North. At this period Mis-
souri, becomes temporarily the most
important watermelon shipping dis
Itrict of the country.
Concrete Feeding Floors Best
Concrete feeding floors are better
than any other kind. OF all farm
structures that can be made Of con-
crete, none is easier to build nor more
certain to give good results than
feeding floor made of concrete.
Due to the high price of lumber
most farmers figure it is best to do
without feeding floors One built Of
concrete is probably cheaper and most
certainly more permanent, says Pro-
fessor Frazier Rogers, of the Florida
Agricultural College. Very often a
