Wiggins To Have $4,000
Brick School Building
Brick Building to be Erected
by End of Next Year

At a joint meeting of the
Board OF Aldermen and the
Trustees of the Wiggins High
Shool on Tuesday night, it was
definitely decided that the town
of Virgins would have new
and beautiful school building
some time during the year 1924
The building is to be of birck
and is to cost $45,00O. It is
to be a one story structure and
is to be modern in every re-
spect. In architecture it will
resemble the Collins school
which is known to beo one of
the most conveniently arranged
school buildings in the state.
The building will contain
twelve or fourteen rooms and
will conveniently care for six
hundred children.A
A large auditorium will be
one of the features of the
building. The auditorium will
be about Az X 10 and Will be
furnished with all modern faci-
lities for such a hall.
The structure will be so ar.
ranged that lighting facilities
will be as nearly perfect as is
possible to arrange in any
building. All light coming over
the left shoulders of the stu
dents. Ventilation and heat
will also be perfectly distribut-,
ed over the building.
Just where the new building
will be located has not yet been
decided. Probably the streets
around the location of the old
structure will be closed and the
new building erected near the
same spot, however this is in
the future.

DEPARTMENT OF THE
INTERIOR

The observance of American
Education Week this year sur
passed all previous years in
effectiveness, according to an
announcement of the Depart
ment of the Interior through
the Bureau of Education. The
movement swept the entire Ma
ton, from the largest centers
Of population to the most re-
note villages and hamlets.
Churches, clubs, newspapers,
theaters, and other organiza-
tions joined in with the schools
in away they have not cooper
ated before and made the week
an actual intensified campaign
for better knowledge about
schools. Some States put on
a Statewide program, and
most of the cities had their
own plans, though all of these
patterned their observance up
On the national program.
President Colleges procla-
nation was printed in whole
or part in practically every
newspaper in the country and
was given much prominence
outside the daily press. The
press responded with special
educational editions, editorials,
and information in their COL
umns based largely upon the
facts sent out by the Bureau
of Education.
More than a million sermons
and addresses were delivered
upon the subject of education
during the week. The response
of the churches was much
greater than has been the case
in previous years. Clubs of
all kinds, particularly MONDAY
luncheon clubs, Rotary, Kiwa-
mis-, Lions, an dothers, were
notably in the campaign. A
new feature of the weeks OBJ
servance this year was the ac-
tive participation of the motion
picture theaters of the country
who were liberal in permitting
information about education on
their screens.
It is too early yet to esti-
mate the definite accomplish
ments of the week in the way
of bond issues, new schools,
and new projects originating
from or carried through by
the drive, but it is certain that
the concrete results will sur
pass anything in a similar per.
iod of time in the history OF
education in America.

NEW BUSINESS IN FRUIT.
LAND PARK

A plant, seed and bulb bust
ness has been established in
Fruitland Park, the develop
nent of which will mean a
great deal to this town, mas
much as large portion of the
business will be done through
Wiggins.
The new Company is known
as the Sunni-Glo Seed Com
pany and Mr.. B. L. Hart who
has large seed interests in New
York state is active manager.
Mr.. Hart believes this to be
the logical place for such an
industry and his experience
with seeds, rare plants and
bulbs leads him to state that
climate soil and other natural
conditions here can not be beat
for such a business.
The Sunni-Glo Seed Company
g putting on national adver-
ti2ing campaign and will bring
much attention to this section.
The entire personnel of the
company is made up of men
IF vast experience in seed
growing who have other inter-
ests in and around Fruitland
Park.
The company will specialize
in blight-prooof tomato seed
which has been perfected by
the government after many
years experimentation. Rare
bulbs will also be propogated
for the trade.

Virgins, Miss.
Gentlemen:-
Il will give my experience on
cucumber growing for you in
1923.
"I broke up ~ acres of
land with a two-horse turning
plow last summer, let it stay
until January, then broke it
again with two-horse turning
plow and left until ready to
fix to plant. l laid off my rows
six feet apart with a middle
buster; put out 1900 pounds of
fertilizer on the ~ acres list
ed it and let it lie about three
or four weeks before | planted
the seed.
81 planted the seed on April
9Th and when the plants came
up, l thinned them to two
plants in hill, three feet in
the drill, then plowed with a
heel sweep only three times in
the seson, but think if l had
narrowed them and put more
Fertilizer, also some Nitrate G.
Soda to them, they would have
done much better.
eff l had burned lights earl
ier, and we had not had so
much rain, which I think injur-
ed them a great deal, and leav-
ing off all that I could have
done on my part to have made
them better. l made there
about $4,000. Cleared over
and above the seed and fertil-
izer $84.50.
IN Now if this will help you
any you are are at liberty to
publish it.
Yours very truly"
