MUST HELP HIMSELF
Marketing Big Problem that Must
be Solved by Farmer

The discussions at the recent meet
ling of the Florida Swine Growers
Association in Ocala reveal the fact
that the leading farmers of this state
are fully aware of the fact that mar
keting has become one of the para
mount features of agriculture, that it
lis no longer of less consequence than
production.
Considerable divergence of opinion
evidenced itself as to how the market
ing problem should be solved. But all
were in accordance with the idea that
the solution of this problem is up to
the farmer himself, and those closely
allied agencies of agriculture.
If it is up to the farmer, we have
reasons to believe that the problem
will be solved. The study of Ameri-
ca life gives us confidence in the
farmers ability to work out his own
salvation. No one can dispute the
fact that the conditions of our farm
life and farm people has ever been a
true index to the industrial and social
conditions existing in our country.

Ilarged by more beemen's going into
the business on a larger scale. Honey
producing plants in Florida are album
dant; and they wait in the woods for
the bees to gather their nectar.
While there are some troubles with
which the beekeepcr mas to contend,
such as certain diseases, the wax
moth, ants, ETC.; generally the year
ends with the beekeeper having a
nice balance to his credit. In flct
his balance is usually much greater
than his who has some other hobby
or business, if we consider the amount
of money invested and the work done.
! You do not have to live on farm
in order to own bees. They seem to
do about as well in the city. providing
the number of colonies is limited, as
they do in the country.

USE CORN As CEREAL
Is One of the Cheapest and Best
Foods to be Had Now

The best way to find out which &C
real is more economical for the fam
lily to use without impairing the en-.
ergy giving qualities of the family
menu is to compare prices of the diff
ferent cereals.
According to food specialists of the
Home Demonstration Department,
Florida State College, Tallahassee, all
cereal grains have practically the
same food values when eaten in a
mixed diet containing plenty of milk
vegetables and fruits Therefore, at
present low prices, corn may well be
used in place of other grains on the
family table.
Quick breads and breakfast cereals
in which corn is the chief ingredient
are palatable, appetizing and easily
prepared. Recipes of them will be
sent to persons who write to the pre-
viously mentioned Office at Tallahas-
see.
Many housekeepers learned during
the war to prepare corn foods in many
different ways, and now that corn is
so low in price, careful housewives
are coming again to it's wider use.

ABOUT WATERNIEIONS
South Florida Growers Should Plant
About February 10th

Watermelon growers of Central
Florida should have their seed in the
ground by February 20. Growers of
South or North Florida should plant
a few days earlier or later.
New land is best for watermelons.
If you cannot get new land, select a
plat where melons have not been
grown for five or six years. This les
sens the risk of disease.
Watermelon land should be broad
casted and disc-harfowed two Cl
three weeks before planting time.
About ten days before planting
check off the field and apply from 400
to 500 pounds Of fertilizer to the acre
putting it around the places wher,
the seed will be planted. Thi
means that the fertilizer will become
incorporated into the soil and Their,
will be less danger of injury to tn,
seed from the caustic action of thu
fertilizer.
1t is a good idea to follow the frs
planting with one or two Others
about a week intervening between
each.' This is advised because fros
is liable to kill Unexpectedly the frs

KUDXV \ GOOD FEED
Grows Well ON Fairly Heavy Soil and
j. Easy TO Cure

Kudzu is a rank gEO"ing perennial
legume, having been known to yield
four or five tons of excellent forage
to the acre. On the light sander
soils of Florida it has not returned
large yields, but on the heavier soils
it has produced satisfactorily.
Kudzu hay is highly nutritioHo,
comparing favorably in composition
with alfalfa, clover, Cowpeas and beG-
garweed.. Compared with other le-
gumes, kudzu is comparatively easy
to cure and the leaves have little ten
dency to shed during the curing pro-
cess.
There is considerable expense in
yolved in the planting of extensive
areas, but it would be desirable fol
everyone who is especially interested
in the crop to make a small expert
mental planting at this time. Their
seems to be no question as to tn
value Of kud2u on certain types o
soils; and the planting thruout tn
state of large number Of plots, how
ever small, would furnish valuabl
data bearing on its adaptability t
various soils.
Best success usually follows plan
ings it during the dormant season
hence the plants should be set in Eel
ruary, or early in March. The plant
are often set at distances of eight G
ten feet in both directions. For sma
i areas closer distances, say four fee
