STAINS ON CLOTHING ARE
EASILY REMOVED

With the coming of summer and
the ripening of fruits and berries
comes the chance Of getting stains
on dresses, shirt fronts, and table
linens.
Most stains can be removed with
cold water if they are treated imme-
diately after they occur The sooner
the fabric is treated after it becomes
stained, the easier the stain will be
removed.
To remove fruit stain, the cloth
should be spread tightly over a large
pan or bowl before washing. The
cloth may be fastened by clasping
with three or four clothes pins. Over
this pour boiling water from such
height that it will strike the stain
with force. 1t may be necessary to
repeat the process several times,
after which the cloth should be laid
on the grass to bleach in the sun. If
the stain is persistent after this

Save The Woods From Fires.

The old adage, "a dollar saved is
a dollar made, can certainly be ap-
piled to our woodlands. AS a good
farmer you are interested in saving
a little money for rainy day and
at the same time interested in in
creasing your cash income. Quite a
number Of our farmers have been in
creasing their income through the
prODer management of their wood
lands.
Woodlands of this county are not
fully stocked due to the woods fires
which have been occurring each year
l feel sure that if you will walk
through some of the woodlands in
this county you will see that more
trees could easily be grown The
more trees there are, up to limit
determined by the fertility of the
soil and the size and spacing, the
more timber is produced. A stand of
200 crop trees on an acre will yield
considerably more than a crop of
100 trees. With woods fires kept to
a minimum in Vance county we feel
that we would secure we'll stocked
stands of young timber which would
increase the ultimate yield per acre
considerably. Where fires have been
kept down you will notice well
stocked stands of timber.
When an acre of cotton or corn is
destroyed before you harvest it, you
Immediately figure the loss to you in
terms of dollars and cents, as the loss
would be estimated by the expected
yield. The same is true of your wood
lands, every time fires go over your
woodlands you lose money. Woods
fires destroy young trees, injure mer-
chantable timber, rob the soil of
humus and destroy food of birds and
other wild life. Prevent woods fires,
increase your income, and "Save that
Dollar" through increasing the
growth of your timber. Growing tim
ber is bank account which can be
added to each year with but very
little outlay by the owner.
"Fire-breaks" cutting the farm
woods into smaller blocks afford a
good, practical means of protecting
the woods on an individual farm. A
''fire-break" can serve a dual pur-
pose-fire protection-and when rak-
ed-give leaf litter for farm use. We
would like to help you start such a
protection system on your farm.

Question Will arsenate of lead. US
ed to control the bean battle, injure
the plants?
Answer: This poison should not be
used on bean foliage as it will seri-
ously burn the leaves and greatly
reduce the yields. Neither is it adj
visable to use calcium arsenate mix
ture on beans. Medical research has
shown that there is an accumulation
of arsenical residue in the human
system as result Of eating fruits
and vegetables that have been spray
ed with arsenical mixtures and the
use OF these poisons should be avoid
ed on all table vegetables and fruits.

trolling most of the garden pests and

straints on American business are Of

The Political Mill
Florida Canal Holds Promise Of Grief
To FLOWING Well. Growers and Tuxpoyers

entirely sure whether these lakes
are or are not connected with the
underground flow already men
toned, or whether their level might
not be affected seriously by a di-
version of water into the ship canal.
If there Is to be lower level Of the
water table, there might conceiv-
ably be a lower level of the lakes.
A Gamble at Best.
It seems pretty clear that the
construction Of the ship canal across
Florida may seriously impair the
water supply-not from the heavens,
but from the flowing wells" which
are tapped and turned on and of
at will by the farmers who irrigate
their lands. Florida has an abun-
dant rainfall; but 1t also has its
rainy and its dry seasons. If the
underground supply Is interfered
with, the picture becomes at once
very different. At best, 1t Is
gamble whether or not the canal
will cause great harm.
There is another angle which
makes the construction of the canal
problematical as a benefit. Vessels
going through the canal cannot
make more than 7 knots-that, by
the way, Is faster than any vessel
travels now through the SueZ or
the Panama Canals. A vessel that
can make 16 knots would lose
day going through the canal at 7
knots, as compared to the time
which that vessel could make going
round the foot of Florida, either
going to the Gulf ports or coming
from them to New York. A vessel
capable Of running at 1874 knots
would make the same time running
through the canal as going around
the Florida straits, II compelled to
run through the canal at 7 knots.
In view of the fact that many of
the newer vessels, including oil
tankers, are now constructed with
speed greater than 1872 knots,
the value of the canal for trans
portation purposes fades percep-
tibly.
20-Mile- off Shore Terminal.
The Gulf terminal of the canal
must be carried 20 miles out from
the shore, so shoal are the waters.
Not only does that mean large and
continuous expenditures to maintain
the canal, but it does away with the
dream of a basin of refuge in the
Gulf, adjacent to the Gulf terminal
Of the canal.
And yet Congress is asked to
spend sl97 100000, which the Gov
ernment does not possess and must
borrow, to build this canal. That
is the lowest estimate of cost. 1t
may run to s30O,000,0O0 or even
s400 900, 900 before all is done. AS a
measure of national defense the
canal amounts to nothing, according
to experts. Nor could it be COM
pleted until at least six years had
rolled by-which makes all talk of
use for immediate national defense
purposes completely idle.
If the Congress authorizes this
huge expenditure for a canal whose
usefulness and value are extremely
questionable, why should the Amer
ican people hope for any improve
ment in the fiscal affairs of their
Government, or any relief from their
heavy tax burden?

which the Senate is fighting, may
have disastrous effects on the vege-
table industry in these sections of
the State, five in number, If some of
the geologists who have looked into
the matter are correct. The wells,
used for irrigation of crops during
the months they are growing, are
fed by a huge flow of fresh water
found in the ocala limestone forma-
ton beneath the soil. What is feared
is that deep channel, cut into
this rock formation for the ship ca
nal, will dissipate, disorganize and
generally endanger this water sup
ply. The proposed route of the ca
nal cuts directly through large
area which is now supplied by these
flowing wells.
Where the canal is to be cut, the
ocala rock reaches a height of lot
feet above sea level. In the next
large area fed by these flowing wells,
south Of the canal route by 100
miles or more, the rock is ITO feet
below sea level. It is $50 feet below
that level in an area still further
south; 500 feet in another, and 900
and 800 feet in two most southern
areas.
Canal Advocates Belittle Fears.
The ship canal, connecting the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of
Mexico across the northern part of
Florida, is to be cut IS feet into
this ocala rock formation. If the
great fresh water supply travels
from north to south, and if large
part of it is diverted into the canal,
it is easy to imagine what may
happen to the flowing wells. The
supporters of the canal pooh-pooh
the suggestion that there is danger
and if there is trouble they insist
1t will be confined to an area only
IS miles each side of the canal.
There is plethora Of scientific
opinion, however, which takes the
view that it would be exceedingly
dangerous to make this proposed
huge cut through the ocala rock
structure in Northern Florida. DR..
w. C. Mendenhall, head of the
United States Geological Survey,
has pointed out the dangers. So
have Herman Gunther, head of the
Florida State geologists; DR.. F. H.
H. Calhoun, dean of the Depart
ment Of Geology at Clemson Col
lege; DR.. Poole Maynard of Atlanta,
industrial geologist; DR.. Henry
Sharp of the Geological Depart
ment of Columbia University, and
DR.. J. E. Spur, former chief geolo-
gist of the Guggenheim interests.
The fresh water supply which
pours out of the flowing wells to
irrigate these Florida farms-which
produce in the winter months when
water Is needed-overlays salt water,
according to the geologists They
say that a one-foot rise of the fresh
water floor would result in 38-foot
rise Of the salt water, and might
bring easily salt water where fresh
has been had before. In dry times,
in some areas, salt water has risen
to take the place of fresh.
Florida has 10000 or more fresh
water lakes. No one seems to be
