SPLENDID ORANGE GROVE

Sunday afternoon we took a trip

saw great trees loaded down with
fllIit on 2 number of acres, but the
part tia. was most interesting to us
was TIE smaller budded stock just
coming insO bearing, and this includ-

grove ana houses have been built for

possible provided, and the most up

'ivating the property is on the ground
The new budded stock has made such
rapid growth that almost every bud

the ,rees not more than three feet
high are loaded with fruit, and the
larger grapefruit trees have cribs
built Of saplings to support the heavi-

The activities on this wonderful
property compose a real treat and it
is we'll worth a trip there to see. 1t
would be almost impossible to esti-
mate the worth of a property Of this
kind within the course of say five
years, as by that time every tree on
the ground will be putting forth it's

wealth.
The grove is well located in rich
soil, we'll protected by water on all

SOME HAM" SAYS DEPUTY

Questioned as to whether he really
did take the ham stolen" from Sheriff
r. E. Merritt's barn early this week
Deputy A j. Brigance, on whom the
finger of suspicion rests, replied:
That was sure some ham, although
he didn't admit that he took the
sheriff's gift pork
If he did take it he says the act
might be considered an aggravated
larceny in that Sheriff Merritt verbal
ly attacked his ability as ''sleuth' in
numerous ways prior to the disappear
ance of the ham.
Sheriff Merritt, Deputy Brigance
says, called him at the criminal court
room soon after the hams had been
received at the court house. Did you
know | had two hams down here?'
Sheriff Merritt is alleged to have ask
ed. Deputy Brigance's reply was
NO"
Well, you're fine 'sleuth,'" came
back over the wire from Sheriff Mer-
ritt.
Il warned him then that sombody
would take one of the hams Brigance
said.

TO SWEET POTATO FE:.I@T GROW
ERS

There are some recent rulings OF
the Plant Board Of this and other
near by states that should be known
at once by all farmers who grow
sweet potato plants for sale
For shipments into South Carolina
and some other states the fields from
which the seed potatoes are taken
must be inspected for pests that will
not show up On young plants. This
inspection will give the grower who
has it made a great advantage next
spring, not only in other states, but
ia Florida. For he will be put on
an accredited list by the Plant Board
The Plant Board has frequent en-
Quiries from parties wanting to know
where clean disease-free plants can
be bought. Let every plant grower
post himself on these regulations be-
fore digging time.
Another practice that we can use to
advantage is the selection of seed
potatoes at digging time for prolific
bearing, smooth even quality, and
uniform maturity and varietal charac-
teristics. A guarantee Of field selec-
tion Of seed will help to sell the
plants, because farmers are begin
ming to realize the value of this kind
OF work in increasing yields and
keeping strains pure.

TOMATO GROWERS TO HOLD
MEETING

President ]. c. Johnson has called
a meeting of the directors Of the To-
mato Growers Association for the
afternoon at o'clock at the Chamber
Of Commerce in Ocala to decide what
steps should be taken next IN perfect
ing the organization. There is much
to be done if the association is to be
ready for the tomato deal next sea-
son, and il is believed that the organi-
zaticn should be completed as soon
as possible. The membership is the
most important matter for considera-
tion at this time and the directors
have been asked to make a report at
Fridays meeting On the matter of
membership in their respective sec
tions of the county.
At the series Of meetings held last
week. no effort was made to secure
memberships The form of organiza-
ton was outlined, the bylaws and the
membership contract were explained
and copies of the bylaws and con-
tracts were left with the growers. The
majority of the growers who attended
the meetings expressed themselves as
in favor OF assisting the Association.
Committees were named in each sec
ton to take up the matter of member
ship and to get the details of the AS
sociation before the growers who did
not attend the meeting.
Cooperative marketing associations
among farmers are not untried insti-
tutions. There are ten thousand CO.
operative marketing associations in
the United States, ranging from small
associations limited TO a single COM
munity, to such organizations as the
Florida and California Citrus Ex-
changes, the Apple Associations of the
northwest, the Grape Associations OF
the Great Lake Regions, and others
The cotton growers Of the South and
the tobacco growers have formed large
cooperative marketing associations.
A series of meetings held last week
in the various tomato growing Sec
tions of Marion county developed
much interest in the Tomato Growers
Association. The attendance at all
of the meetings held in Marion county
was good. The growers agree that The
marketing of the tomato crop in the
past has not been satisfactory and
they believe that there is need for
a marketing association operated by
the growers themselves. Mr.. Samuel
c. Hood, field representative of the
North American Fruit Exchange, Mr.
X. c. Moore, county agent, and Mr..
Louis II. Chazal, secretary of the Ma
rion county Chamber of Commerce,
finished UP series OF meetings at

county, however, did not turn cut for

although the Sumter county Chamber
