The sun. that bellboy OF the great

said had scarcely poked his ruby
nose above q clump Of naples on

when q small army Of men and boys
were seen plodding along the Band

At Fourth street and Florida
avenue the contingent swsrved to
the right. Early riders on the milk
and-paper train marveled that any
person. much less . large group OF

energy at such an early hour.
The mystery. however. was soon
unraveled.
Early this morning the circus
folded It's tents like the proverbial
Arab and departed in the stiily
night There was nothing Mt Fourth
street and Florida avenue to show
there had been q circus except q
lot OF sawdust and straw.
The men and boys had walked

PLANT LEGUMEs IN ORCHARD
Good Practice That Crops Be Kept
Growing Between Trees in Sum-
mer and Early Fall.

Good orcharding practice requires,
in many instances, that crops be kept
growing between the trees during late
summer or early fall. For one thing
the soil will need humus and protec-
ton from the burning rays of the sun.
It is a good practice to DlanH cow
peas, soy beans, or other crofs nat
thrive in late summer and early au-
tumn to protect the soil and to add
fertility to it for the next season.
Most Of the legumes are well adapt
ed for summer crops in orchards. Cow
peas are in many instances better
than other summer legumes for this
purpose.
Usually, planting peas or soy beans
in rows between the trees and giving
them a cultivation or two is better
than broadcast sowing. However,
some prefer to SOW broadcast.

Lumber Value of Pine Trees
Not Hurt By Turpentining.

The operation of turpentlnlng pine
trees does not lower the strength OF
the wood, according 20 information
obtained by the Forest Products Lab
oratory of the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The crude %turpentine or oleoresin, is
not drained from a reservoir in the
tree, bat is produced by the living
cells in the sap wood at or near the
spot where the cut is made on the
trunk. No turpentine is produced by
the heartwood because all of Its cells
are dead. The heartwood may be sat
urated in places with pitch, but this
does not readily flow out as does the
resin freshly formed in the sapwood.
The major part of the tree is not al
fected in any way, and the loss due
to death of tree or to a reduction or
degrading of lumber is very small
when the proper method Of turpen-
timing is followed; this loss is more
than offset by the additional revenue
obtained through turpentining. The
greater part of the wood that is chip
ped away would not have become fin
ished lumber, but would have gone
into slabs and edgings at the saw
mill With proper treatment the tur-
pentined faces remain healthy. and
the wood underneath does not become
saturated with resin to any great ex,
tent.

KEEP GARDEN FREE OF TRASH
cornstalks, Tomato Vines, Potato
Tops, ETC., Should Be Gathered
Up and Burned.

Neatness, cleanliness, and order IN
the garden help in the fight against
insects and diseases, specialists In the
United States Department Of Agrt.
culture emphasize. AS a general rule
the residue Of the garden such as corn
stalks, tomato vines, potato tops, etc.
should be burned. Do this promptly,
so that insects and disease spores may
not be harbored by the rubbish. Just
as soon as any crop is gathered, re
move the trash, spade up the ground
and plant something else. Keep the
garden free from weeds at all times
and this can best be done by frequent
cultivation which destroys the weeG
seeds as soon as they sprout.

Atlanta, Ca, July 30.-Shipments
of peaches and watermelons from
Georgia for the 1921 season have sur
passed all previous records. Accord
ing to figures compiled by the South
ern Railway System from official
sources, 1O,264 lars of peaches had
been shipped from Georgia up to July
%, and. the crop is expected to run
above 10000 cars. In 1920, Georgia
shipped 1868 cars of peaches. With
a great part of watermelons still to
be shipped, Georgia has already pass
ed the 1920 total. Up to July TO-,
Georgia had shipped 1910 ears Of
watermelons and shipments since
then have run above $50 cars per
day. These results show that there
was no ground for apprehension ex-
pressed early in the season that the
Georgia peaches and melons would
not move this year. Prices received
by growers have been quite satisfac-
tory. The Atlanta Journal estimates
the return received by Georgia grow
ers from these two crops so far at
ten million dollars. Favorable wealth
err conditions, improved transporta-
ton facilities, and better methods of
marketing are among the factors
which have contributed to the sue
cess of the Georgia producers.

treatment may be lessened by reduc-
ing with an equal part Of kerosene.
Crude petroleum will spray better If
thinned with one part Of kerosene
to four parts Of crude oil. Both the
crude petroleum and the conf-
tar products often contain for
eign particles, so should be
strained before attempting to spray.
One must be sure that the spray
reaches all the cracks and crevices,
giving special attention to the roosts,
dropping boards, and nests, and the
treatment should be repeated two or
three times at intervals Of a week or
ten days.

An Alligator House.

An Alligator House.
Let me tell you of a beautiful
house under water. Some three hun
bred yards down the Silver River
at the right hand edge of the stream,
is the handsomest residence in
America. Pm talking about an ALI
gator now.
A little cove of water, dark green
under the overhanging leaves, placid,
pellucid curves round at the rivers
edge into flags and lilies with a curve
Just heart-breaking for the pure
beauty of the texture of it. This
house of this saurian is divided into
apartments, little subsidiary bays,
which arescalloped out by lily pads,
according to the sinuous of their
growth. This saurian, when he de-
.cides to sleep, has but to lie down
anywhere. He will find marvellous
MOSES for his mattress beneath him,
his sheets will be white lily petals,
and the green discs of the lily pads
will rise above him as he sinks, and
embroider t~hemaelves together for
his coverlet. He never quarrels with
his cook; he is not the slave of a
kitchen, ,and his one handmade, the
stream, forever sweeps his chamber
clean. His Conservatives there, under
the glass of that water, are ever and
without labor filled with enchant-
ments of strange underwater growth;
his parks and his pleasure grounds
are larger than any kings. Upon this
allieator's house the winds have no
power; the rains r only a new de-
light to him, and the SHOWS he will
never see. Regarding fire, as he does
not employ it's slavery, so he does
not fear its tyranny. While he sleeps
he is being bathed; what a glory to
awake sweet and clean, sweetened
and cleaned in the very act of sleep.
Lastly, this saurian has innumer-
able mansions and can change his
dwelling as no human householder
can. It is a mere flop of the tail, and
10, he is established in another pal
ace as good as the last, ready fur
nished to his liking.
Along the immediate edges of the
stream every tree trunk, sapling or
other projecting coign of vantage, is
wrapped about with a close growing
vine. Now the vine hangs in loops, in
pavilions, in columns, in arches, in
caves, in women's tresses, in harps,
in mountain ranges, as though deft
fingers had looped them there. This
is the home of the alligator, said to
be eighty years old. unlike any other
alligator, his color is a dark gray.
The strange part about this ALI
gator is, so I was told, that no other
saurian has ever been seen in his
house or is park, or his pleasure
grounds. 1t is said that a mans home
is where he places his single, bakes
his bread and pulls off his shoes. l
suppose that is the way of the al
1igator.
