Her Garden Lore and Deep Affection for Little
Nook Where She Plants Own Flowers
Characteristic Of Mrs Harding.

One OF the outstanding character
istics OF Mrs. Harding is her garden
lore and her deep affection for a
small nook, all her own, and where
she plants and in season plucks as
she wishes. Being q flower lover, she
prefers the lovely little blooms which
appear in rotation all through the
growing period. rather than the
lordly displays from Conservatives,
and nothing delights her more than
to have a primrose just coming into
flower placed in a tiny pot and set in
that sunny window which gives on
her sitting room in the upper cor
ridor. A clump OF forget-me-n,ots. ,

there are today more automobiles in
Pinellas county alone than there
were in all Florida twelve years ago,
and the number is daily increasing.
Also, theer are more people from
outside going to the beaches of Pin
elias county today than were living
in that county ten years ago; so what
was road to be boosted of then, is
becoming an embarrassing handrance
today.
Pinellas realizes all this, and
there has sprung into being the de-
mand for more roads. Not only has
the demand gone out for more roads,
but, looking over its past experience
as a road builder, there is grown up
demand for more permanent roads.
The dual demand should be heard
and acceded to. The need for more
roads there is doubted, and that a
county Shout today build a road
which will not last as long as the
life of the bonds which financed it is
becoming more and more impossible.

With Other Editors
ROAD BUILDING EVERYWHERE

Florida counties and especially
those progressive counties of south
Florida are continually building new
roads and bonding not only for new
roads, but bonding to make the old
roads wider and repairing them and
keeping them in shape. The vast
amount of travel all over south Flor
ida makes wider roads and better
roads imperative. Seminole county
has just voted time warrants to the
amount of 100000 to repair many
of the roads already built, to build
new steel drawbridge across the
st. Johns river at Osteen ferry and
make other improvements. Seminole
county can be depended upon to keep
up with the march Of progress that
is taking place all over Florida. The
Tampa Tribune voices the senti-
ments of the southern part of the
state in the following:
The call for bids on $2,5OO,OOO
good roads proposed bonding con-
tract by Pinellas county, means that
county is bidding high for immediate
and continuin gpermanent develop
ment.
With this money it proposes to
build or improve from one to two
hundred miles of roads through the
peninsular county which is so favor
ably situated for growth and perma-
nent development.
With already lengthy mileage of
hard surfaced roads, Pinellas real
ICES that it is not enough. 1t was
one of the first counties to recognize
the Importance of hard surfaced
road in Florida, and with traffic
light and no lamp of experience by
whic hto be guided, Pinellas, like 9TH
err counties, built mere ribbon-like
roads, thinking they would be all that

LET THE STATE ROAD
DEPARTMENT ALONE!

Some time ago the South and East
Florida Good Roads association was
formed at Daytona for the avowed
purpose of obstructing, if possible,
the completion of road project No. l
through Columbia county. The con-
tention of this association is that if
the project is completed there will be
no money for the southern and east
ern sections of the state. Road build
ing in Florida and in individual
counties has been INSTRUCTED more by
such an argument as this than by
any other one thing.
1t would be vastly better to build
two miles of good roads than to
build ten miles of poor road. If the
state road department cannot build
all good roads over the state, let
them build what they can each year.
They must start somewhere, and GER
tainly no section of the state needs
it more than along the route of prof.
ect No. 1. If work on the road is
stopped we fail to see how it will
benefit south Florida, for there GER
tainly isn't enough money available
to carry out the hundred and one
road plans now being made or al
ready completed.
The secretary of the Palatka
Chamber of Commerce has been NAM
ed as a member of committee which
will go to Tallahassee when the road
board meets on April 81 and attempt
to stop the completion of road No. 1.
We hope that Mr.. Hart enters no
such conspiracy.
The News is as anxious as any
member of the association to see
south and east Florida ge an equfta-
BILE distribution of all road moneys,

but every man who has ever served
on the board, with the possible ex-
ception of Forrest Lake, has declar-
ed that local preferences must be en-
tirely eliminated from all considera-
ton in planning the states system
of highways, that the roads should
be built Systematically, connecting up
as they go and not in scattered dis
tricts. 1t would be waste of money
indeed to stop work on road No. l
and lose very large part of what
has been done.

Practical Suggestions fer Wool
Growers

The following suggestions for pre-
pairing the fleece for market are Of
fered by the Department of Agricul-
tnre:
Shear the sheep when the wool is
absolutely dry; never when there is
any moisture in the fleece.
The sheep should dbe shorn only on
smooth, dry surface. preferably q
pianed board flooring: never on the
dirt
Care should be taken to keep the
fleece intact. Avoid second cuts,
which reduce the average length OF
the staple.
Clip all tags from each fleece and
park separately. Never permit the
tags .tosremain in the fleece.
Fleeces should be prepared with the
fleece side out; never the weather side.
/, Fold, roll, or use fleece box for pre-
pairing the fleece.
Tie each fleece separately. Never
tie two fieeces together, nor pack and
market united wool.
Use only enough Irvine to tie the
fleece securely.
Paper or hard glazed surface Irvine
should be used. Never use sisal or
binder Irvine.
Never permit the fleece to come into
contact with chaff. hay. dust, or any
other foreign material.
Place the tied fieeces in. regulation
wool sacks or cover them with can
vas or new burlap.
Select Il clean, dry place for storing
:he wool until sold. Never permit the
wool to lie upon the ground nor store
ii in basement.
Keep the white and black wool sepa-
rate. Never permit any portion of
black wool to be mixed through the
white.
Separate the bury, seedy, cotted,
dead. black and gray fleeces from the
clean. white. well-grown wool and
pack separately. Never pack all
grades together Unfortunately.
OTHER MARKETING HELPS
Woolgrowing is one branch of farm
ing where the producer continues to
turn ont product without having
more than general idea as to market
outlets and demand. Formerly this
was due to the lack of adequate and
reliable information regarding com
mercial supplies. movements, prices,
and general market conditions. Re-
ports regarding consumption, stocks,
and imports of wool are now issued
regularly by the Bureau of Markets
and Crop Estimates. as well as mar
ket information circular, and, altho
this service is not yet as inclusive as
when uniform grades for wool are
universally adopted, according to
statements of many interested in the
wool industry it has been found in
valuable from a marketing stand
point.

Green Flies Spread Limberncck

The surest means for the elimina
ton of limberneck is TO trap the green
flies. which are believed to spread the
trouble. 1t has been found that green
flies are especially attracted to boile'
cabbage and that whore fly traps are
buited with boiled cabbage, most O,
the green flies in the neighborhood
can be trapped and the danger from
limberneck greatly reduced. 1t is the
general experience of poultry keep
ers that when Hiimberneck once gets
started many cases are likely to ap-
pear within a short time; and this ii
readily explained by the discover
that green flies are carriers of the
disease. Trapping the flies is a safe
precaution at any rate and will prove
4 general benefit to the farm flock
and its owners.

Can You Afford IT.

1t has been estimated that farm ma
chinery which is carefully housed will
depreciate at the rate of eight per
cent while machinery housed only I'M
der the clouds and sky will depreci-
ate sixteen per cent each year. The
average farmer has at least $500 tied
up in machinery. On the basis of the
rates mentioned, the annual deprecia-
ton, when housed. would amount to
$G4 and 1928 when not housed, or $G4
less where shelter was provided AT
Ave and one-half per cent that would
allow for interest on mighty good

besides. Sit down and, figure 1t out

Apple Peetin that May be Stored 10
Aid jelly Making

A method for making an especially
rich and concentrated syrup from ap-
pie juice for use in jelly making has
been developed by the United States
Department of Agriculture. This
concentrated juice or pectln can be
protested and stored for use with
fruits which are not in season when
apples are abundant. A compare
lively small amount of this syrup can
be added to berry or other fruit juice
with which 1t is desirable to use ad-
ded pectin. The purpose in using
it is to make the process of jelly max
increase the yield of high-grade jelly
by preventing the long boiling of
juices which are more or less def

cularly useful with such fruit as the

most susceptible to injury by cooking.

reason the jelly maker has met with
