Summerfield are classed as hammock,
sandy loan and light sand Eight sand
lands being made very fertile by
planting velvet beans and other legu-
minous erops). But to be truthful
we must add that this section is spot
ted with some very poor land; never
theless, these spots will. under proper
care. attention and fertilization be
made to. produce certain crops, citrus
fruits doing the best. All manner of
vegetables are successfully grown as
are the general crops such as corn,
peanuts, cotton, sweet potatoes, sugar
cane, etc., Cabbage. tomatoes, canta-
Ioupes and watermelons are the truck
ers delight. Lately our truck grow
Iers have added green beans, squash,
cucumbers and sweet corn CONNER
cial fertilizers are used in all instanc-
les and must be used to produce pay
ing crops. This section, especially
around Lake Weir is and has always
been one of the greatest citrus Sec
tions in the state and it is here where
the famous "Parson Brown orange
originated. At one time this part Of
Marion county boasted of having one
of the finest vineyards within the
state, Mount Hope Vineyard oper-
ated by Mr.. s. Lehman, but since
prohibition came, his light wines have
become but a memory.
There is one thing we wish to stress
on and that is the great possibilities
for growing sugar cane. The lands
here about and for miles beyond Pedro.
are well adapted for the growing Of
sugar cane and although our farmers
plant only small patches for their own
use they always make enough sirup
to be able to sell the surplus. Sugar
cane grows vigorously in this section
and it would surely pay our farmers
to plant larger acreages which prove
to be money making crop and when
f'AAAASACAt uSlO Od6C - RldAtCQ tl1lo
section is assured of a large sugar
and sirup making mill. Any of the
lands around Summerfield will grow
oranges and other citrus fruits and
with care and attention a grove can
be brought into bearing in five years.
Just west of Summerfeld we have
the well known Wartmann Citrus
Nurseries which were originally start
ed and planted by Mr. p H. Nugent.
Poultry, is another OF the things
successfully raised in this section, but
ike every business it must have the
best care and attention to make it
pay. To the east of Suinmerfield is
located large and paying poultry ranch

NEW LONDON SELLS ITS
 REMAINING FERRY BOAT

The city of New London has sold it's only remaining ferryboat, the historic Governor Winthrop, to the Poughkeepsie and Highland Ferry Company, Ltd. N. Y., for S35,O0o. The boat left under it's own power at 6.20 Tuesday morning for the Hudson river.
 The Governor Winthrop was built at Noank in 1905 for the Chapel Co. which company for years. leased the ferry fran chise from the city of New London. For time both the Governor Winthrop and the Colonel Ledyard were operated. The Ledyard was not bought by the city when 1t was decided to operate the ferry itself. The city bought the Governor Winthrop from the Chappell company, paying S25,- GOO for her. The city owned the ferry slips and approaches on either side of the river.
 Later the city bought a secondhand 1 ferryboat in New York and renamed her the Nathan Hale. The boat cost SAL ,oOC and about s1S,O00 was expended on her for overhauling and improvements. A year or more ago she was sold to the state of Maine for S6O000, and is now 1 in operation at Bath, Me,
 1 During the period of time from now or 1 until new boat is bought the steamer,

ENGLISHMAN ERECTS STATUE
 OF THANKS TO AMERICANS

As thank offering for the safe return home of many soldiers from overseas who were stationed near the little town of Grantham, Eng. L. F. Cantiin, pro- prietor of a tearoom there, has given to the St. Wulfram's church in Grantham two statues, one of the Mother of Christ and the other the figure of the patron saint, St Wulfram. The statue of the Virgin Mother was placed in memory of the American boys, MT. Catlin saying
 that he was so much impressed with the
 fond and loving way they spoke of their
 own mothers back in America. I realized their great anxiety and love and how frequently their prayers would go up to the Incarnate Son, and I felt no more ap- propriate memorial could be erected than l that of the great Mother of her Son. Grantham was the. site of three Y M lC. A. huts in England which used to
 serve thousands of American boys sta tioned in England or enroute to France. | Among the New Englanders who regis tered on the Y M. C. A. hut record are Earle G. Schlayer of Norwich and c, | A. o. Champagne of Moosup. MT | Schlayer knew MT. Catlin and visited his
 tearoom many times during his stay in i Grantharn

SEEK TO PROVE TESTATOR INCAPABLE

Trial of the suit of Byron A. wightnan and others to break the. will of Charles Franklin Geer who died March 2B, 1920, at 76 West Town street, was begun here Tuesday morning before Judge Gardiner Greene on the opening day of the May session of the superior court Attorney A. F. Libby appeared for the appellants and Attorney Edmund W. Perkins for the ap- pellee, who is Mrs. Mary A.. walsh Geer, executrix of the will of her husband.
 MT. Geer, who was 77 when he died, left an estate of 3.420, most of it to his wife. whom he married on Feb. Il, 1920. She had been his housekeeper. The date of the will was about a week before his death. It is contested on the ground that he was of unsound mind and incapable of making will and that he did not have the power to give away certain property that came to him under the will of his first wife, Nellie A. Geer.
 In opening the case, Attorney Perkins called to the-stand Judge of Probate Nell son J. Ayling, who testified to the pro- ceedings in his court. Walter c. Hitchon and Stanton W. Brown, the witnesses to the will, gave their testimony and the ap- | police rested

Gee had married her. The witness said tha MT. Geer had to be watched and that h, was likely to get out of bed at any tim Of night. At times MT.
