| PLAN COMEBACK.
Movement Under Way for
Revival Of the Party
Ideals.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.


By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
LONDON. England. September a.
Fresh and In some respects novel Is
the attempt to initiate a revival of
the fortunes Of the liberal party,
probably on lines Independent of the
present coalition which is being or
ganized in Manchester. 1t will take
it's first form in a conference. which.
1t ID asserted. will be unique in the
history OF politics. to be held at the
Grasmere Hotel the last week in Sep
tember.
Candidates to Attend.
Candidates for parliament from al
most every part Of Great Britain and
representatives Of liberalism in the
universities have stated their inten-
tion OF being present.
The ostensible purpose of the con-
ference will be to discuss lines upon
which its policy in industry should
proceed. but the promoters. among
whom is committee Of officials Of
the Manchester Liberal Federation.
are confident that the whole future
Of the liberal party will come under
review. A feature Of the Grasmere
gathering upon which stress Is being
laid is the absence of party leaders
and party officials. 1T is hoped to
plan a still bigger affair on national
lines at Grasmere next summer.
Ramsay Muir to Open Parley.
Ramsey Muir. who accepted the in
vitation to contest for seat from
Rochdale at the next general election,
will open the conference September
IS with an address on Liberal History
and Ideals" The subjects to be dis
cussed the other days will include
control of industry, coal. railways.
taxation. unemployment, family wage,
etc.
The Grasmere conference is really
an effort Of the new Manchester
school of liberal politicians to provide
the party with a complete new eco
nomic outfit for exploitation on plat
forms at the next general election In
competition with the socialism to
which the labor party at any rate
pays lip service.

CITIZENS IN THE MAKING

CITIZENS IN The MAklNG
At the present there are 1897 girls
enrolled in unior home demonstration
clubs in Florida. of course, this does
not include all enrollments, for many
girls are members of several clubs.
There are 1O,6O1 enrollments This
great difference occure because on
more than one program of work.
The most popular lines are poultry
keeping, gardening and canning, sew
ing and cooking and home improve
ment.
Definite achievements in these va
ried lines do not entirely measure the
value of club work. These four thou
sand odd young girls are organized
into SO active clubs. Through team
work they are attaining the spirit Of
cooperation. one of the great factors
in the future development of our

country. There are hundreds of acres
in velvet beans and peas which will
be harvested after awhile by cattle and
hogs, fattened right in the field, for
the markets: and peanuts between
the wide corn rows over the entire
300 acres.
The McClellans Of Florida farms are
making this state the leading one
in agriculture. They have proved that
we can raise more corn to the acre
than Iowa, more pork to the dollar
of cost than Ohio, and more peanuts
to the plow than Virginia or the Caro-
linas. They have proved to the world
that the grand sweepstakes prize
beef cattle Of the country are Flor
ida bred and raised: and they are
showing that the finest and purest
of all syrups of commerce come from
the Florida sugar cane.
Mr.. Mcclellan is a small farmer,
compared to many in the state. Down
| in the Everglades section are men
cultiyating ten acres for every one
Mcclellan has to pillow; men who
think nothing of a thousand-acre to-
mato patch, and two thousand acres
of corn or patotoes. There are farm
ers in Marion and Alachua, Polk and
Jackson, who have more acres of corn
and good cattle to those acres than
any farmer in the great corn and cat
tie belt of the Middle West.
These staple products of the Flor
ida farms are now counted in the
thousands of carloads of fruit and veg
etables annually shipped from the
state. They represent background
of stability and wealth that is almost
unbelievable, because they are so

Analysing Soil

Do you ever wish to have your
soil analyzed for the purpose of learn
ing what fertilizers it needs to pro-
duce certain crops? DR. r. W.
Ruprecht. in charge of the chemical
laboratories at the Florida Expert
ment Station, says that farmers FREE
quently send in samples of soil, be-
lieying. that nothing is necessary to de-
termine what their soils need
It is only in rare cases that soil
analysis will show the fertilizer needs
of the soil. No one has yet devised
"a method by which can be determin-
ed the available amount of plant
food in the soil. Until such a meth
Cd is devised. soil analysis is of.
little value because it merely shows
the total amount Of plant food pres

If those desiring information in
regard to fertilization would give
other necessary data, more intel
ligent answer could be given than
from merely the chemical analysis.
IN writing for advice answer the fol
lowing questions:
I. What type of soil have you?
