age from Chicago. 1t is stated that the
process will utilize both the low grade
phosphate rock and the rock now dis

payment on her war indemnity of 200,-
tons of fertilizer made by the non
acid process identical with the Kreiss
process.
The Non-Acid Fertilizer and Chem

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY IS ON INCREASE
CHAS. P. ZAZZAu
INSTALLS GROVE
IRRIGATION PLANTS

Chas. p. ZaZzali, one of the most
progressive of Lakeland's newer citi-
zens, has installed two big irrigation
plants, one on his grove on the shores
Of Crystal Lake and the other on his
grove near Bowling Green.
Mr.. Zazzali, who came to Lakeland
some months ago from Atlantic City,
New Jersey, having disposed of his
hotel interests in that city and in New
York, has been interested from the
first in the use of irrigation for
groves, but found the prevailing SEN
timent rather against the proposition,
and he says that what convinced him
of the advisability of installing grove
irrigation was the fact that the trees
on his home place on East Palmetto
street showed decided difference be-
tween those that drew moisture from
the watered flower beds nearby and
those less fortunately situated.
Accordingly, when the effects of the
recent dry weather began to be ap-
parent on his groves, Mr.. Zazzali in
stalled the irrigation systems, which
have been in operation more than
week and have already made an i'm
provement in the size of the fruit and
the general condition of the trees.
At Crystal Lake, the plant compris-
es a 12-horse power engine which
pumps 900 gallons a minute from the
lake through 2,800 feet of pipe, ex-
tending through the "a acres Of grove.
At the Bowling Green grove a %
horse power engine pumps 900 gal
Ions minute from a reservoir Great
ed by damming a stream. $500 feet
of pipe carries the water to 166 acres.
Since installing his own plants, Mr.
Zazzli has talked with others who
have tried or are trying grove irriga
tion, and he has become convinced
that irrigation on a generous scale
pays and pays well, and that those
who state that they have not found
grove irrigation practical have made
their experiments with inadequate
plants.

Although there are a few dark spots
in which considerable unemployment

1.-THE farm situation is decidedly
encouraging" Mr.. Davis said. 1.-THE
demand for farm help from all sec
tions of the country is indicative OF
the optimistic attitude of the far
mer. AS there are 6,448,00O farms in
the country, they will absorb tre-
mendous amount of labor.
"New York state reports a great
decrease in unemployment. There
is a revival of business in the New
England states, notwithstanding the
suspension in textiles. l am pleased
to hear reports from New Jersey
state that building and contract op-
erations are now in full swing. They
are encouraging outside workers to
come to their state, specially in the
building lines. Ohio reports increas-
ed activity along all lines. Penn
sylyania is showing a decided i'm
provement in industry.
There is considerable Improvement
in Indiana. The federal director Of
Spokane, Wash, under date OF April
%, reports labor conditions through
out the state as showing gradual i'm
provement. Farm help is in demand
with q slight shortage. There is an
increase in building operations. I'm
der date April 20 the federal director
for Kansas reports that weather con-
ditions are unfavorable, retarding in
dustrial movement, but that the pros
poets are very encouraging.
There has been. large absorption
iof labor in Baltimore, Md. Great

point. Kentucky has not shown much
change in activity in the past month.
The west north central district, COM
prising the states of Minnesota, Iowa,

the attitude of the Russians them
selves, according to a statement made
this afternoon by an official Italian
spokesman.
"This crisis" he said, "is more
grave than the one the conference

Easter Sunday. The conference be-
tween Foreign Ministers Schanzer of
Italy and Jaspar of Belgium, however,
created a good impression. There are
difficulties but they are not insur-
mountable.
1.-THE Russians on the other hands
created a distinctly bad impression
at the conference at the Villa De AL
bertis with Sir Laming Worthington

George yesterday evening. They (the
Russians) ask billions and billions Of
gold francs, and they do not ask them
in the form of credits with which they

They arrived in New York June %
and sailed for France a few days

Thinking that a good way to see
the country would be by bicycle the
boys went directly to Paris after
landing at Cherbourg. There they
bought two bicycles. which set
them back $28 and 1872. Then the
fun began. Heading their bicycles
toward Marseilles, a distance Of
600 miles, they started overland.

THE trip was wonderful. but the

were not used to were very rough
riding and almost spoiled all the
fun" Paul answered The Argus
when he was asked il it was a
pretty smooth trip. Our legs were
so tired from pumping those BIZ
