AMARYLLIS AND IRIS
Mrs. W. E. B., of Jacksonville,
writes: evil you tell me when
and how to plant amaryllis and
iris? Can amaryllis be grown
outdoors, or does it have to be
grown in pots?" The plant we
usually speak of as amaryllis is
amarS!is hippeastrum or one of
its hybrids and is not hardy,
but must be grown in pots for
winter and spring bloom. If
grown out in the garden the
bulb must be taken up and
stored each winter. There are
some amaryllis that are hardy
in our gardens-lycoris, includ-
ing spring, Summer and fall
bIyomers; crinums. of which
the milk and wine lily is one
variety; and zephyranthes, the
dainty little native atamasco
lily of our spring swamps, the
summer blooming rain lily,
fairy lily, etc.
Plant a new amaryllis bulb
any time from December to
March. Repot when needed aft
err foliage begins to yellow and
die. Use a pot Just large enough
for the bulb to fit in comfort
ably with an. inch or two of sol
between it and the edge of the
pot. 1t will not bloom in a large
pot. Do not repot until roots
have actually cracked OF
broen the pot, then use a pot
just one size larger.
Be sure of extra good drain
age. Use a soil mixture of good
garden loan with plenty of old
well rotted COW manure and a
handful of bonemeal to each
pot. The soil must be porous
and very fertile. Be careful
about watering too much until
the flower buds appear. After
Towering is over; keep it in the
sun and feed and water to keeI
it growing vigorously, for the
secret of good bloom next year
is to induce good growth of the
foliage this year. Next year:
flower, bud forms this yea1
while the foliage is maturing
and the better foliage you have
this year, the better the blooms
next year.
Let the foliage grow as lonl
as it vii, then when it begin:

The well or pump is the old
Town Pump, both constructed
in Franklin Park at Southport,
a hundred feet from the pre-
sent city hall. 1t was installed
to provide water for nearby res
idents, the public and the school
children, getting their knowl-
edge of the 3R's in the old
school near the pump.
Surrounded now by towering
evergreen oaks and the flowers
and shrubbery that have graced
the park for the past fifteen
years, the old town pump still
provides it's cooling waters for
thirsty passers-by and for many
home owners who live nearby
and prefer soft water to the
city water.
They still go to the well with
the all but obsolete pitcher, the
bucket, the huge glass bottles
and, sometimes, with a keg or
barrel.
The pump has had minor
repairs since it first was put in
place. These repairs have been
few and far between. It was
constructed during the days
when pumps were made to rem
der service. This one has al
ways given that. Needing no
primming, a shake or two OF
the handle starts the water to
flowing. On a hot day the old
town pump is mans best
friend.
A legend, honored by many;
is that all visitors to Southport
who drink of the town pumps
cooling waters will return to
Southport some day. Hundreds
of instances can be recalled
when this claim has proven
true. The young folks of South
port believe this legend. just as
strongly as do their elders.
Let a young man or woman
visit Southport and prove popu-
lar with the residents. and an
unfailing ritual is to take him
or her to the old town pump.
for a drink of the water. before
time for the visitor to depart,
This ritual of having the visi-
tor drink from the town pump
waters is not a joke on the part
of the young folks. 1t is done
in all seriousness, when they
have a visitor who wins his or
her way into their affections
they take him or her to the
town pump, and they are just
as serious about it as is the
father of some errant boy when
he is conveying his offspring tc
the woodshed.

Large Increase Shown
In Loans To Veterans

Cincinnati, Mar. 5-The Cincin-
natl Regional Office of the Veterans
Administration announced today
that during February 1108 veterans
had received loans which are guar
qnteed by VA under the CT bill. Of
these approved loans, 1919 were for
homes, AS for farms, and A were
business loans.
The property value of these guar
anteed loans amounts to $6,848,, ,754,
and of that total, VA commitments
are $3,190,151 Under the loan pro-
visions of the CT Bill, VA does not
actually lend the money, but NAV
guarantee loans made by lending
institutions to eligible veterans. VA
can guarantee one half of a real
estate loan, up to a maximum of
$4,000, but in the case of non-realty
loans, VAS commitment cannot ex-
ceed a maximum of $4,000.
Since the inception of the loan
guarantee privilege, and up to the
present date, the Cincinnati Loan
Guarantee Division has approved
and guaranteed loans made by lend
ing institutions to 1928 world war
II veterans who reside in the fifty
counties of south an central Ohio
served by the Cincinnati head
quarters.

Food Dollar Shrinks
EnrOute To Farmers

Farmers are now getting about
$295 out of each $575 which a city
family pays for food, but the far
mer's share of the food dollar is on
its way down from the high point
reached in 1945. Rural economists
at Ohio State University say the
farmers portion of the food dollar
is likely to become smaller as prices
drop.
The difference between the share
the farmer gets and the sum city
consumers pay is the margin which
goes to food handlers and to retail
store operators. Prices paid to far
mers for food products drop con-
Siderably faster in periods of de-
clining prices than do the charges
made for handling and selling food.
The University economist point
out that the same amount of food
which cost $575 was sold over re-
tail counters for $275 in 1888, and
the farmers share of that $275 was
$9l. Out of the $500 which that
amount Of food has increased in
price, farmers are getting 5000 and
the distributing and selling agencies
are getting $100.
The economists explain that far
mers now are getting II cents for
each 81 paid over retail counters for
eggs and they are getting 70 cents
from the meat dollar and 80 cents
from each ST paid by consumers for
butter. The farmer is getting only
% cents of each ST. spent over re-
tail counters for canned fruit and
vegetables.

Corn And Soybeans
Top Batting Order

Corn and soybeans are one-two in
the batting order for the agronomy
program during the Farm and Home
Week, Ohio State University, March
1921. Small grains also get swing
at the ball in the first inning, Tues
day, March 13. Discussion on those
grains will include varieties, yields,
seed treatment, weed control, and
use of manure.
Soil management to keep the farm
at home will be the background for
Wednesdays speakers. Phases of
management to be considered will
include selecting crops for different
soil types, effect of tillaGe on soil,
use of lime, methods of killing
weed, erosion control, drainage
systems, and pasture improvement.
Fertilizers and crop rotations are
the corner stones for Thursdays
program. One speaker will offer
proof of his claim that Ohio live
stock does not get enough to eat, and
he means quantity of feed rather
than shortage of vitamins or min
erals. Possibilities of profits from
growing flax and other oil seed
crops is the final topic for the day.
Howard M. Call, farmer, Kent,
will give report on improved pas
lures on his farm to open Fridays
agronomy sessions. Use of legumes
to add nitrogen to Ohio soils, in
creaSing clover seed yields by pro-
viding bees as pollinators, future
plans of fertilizer manufacturers,
and suggestions for improving the
quality of hay are other subjects
scheduled for Friday.

Texas Firm Buys
Big, Little Inch

Washington, March 5 - War AS
sets Administrator Robert M. Little
john predicted today that additional
conduits may be built alongside the
Big Inch and Little Inch pipelines
which runs through Noble county
sold yesterday for the movement of
natural gas to the eastern seaboard.
The lines went to the highest
among II bidders, the newly formed
Texas Eastern Transmission Corp,
of Houston, Texas, for $143,127, 600
in cash--or about 98 per cent of the
original wartime cost to the govern
ment.
"The high prices offered were the
result of long range vision" Little
john told a reporter. II think that
more pipelines-either for gas or
oil-may be laid along that right
of way"
The big ribbon of real estate,
which also goes to Texas Eastern,
is rs feet wide where the lines run
jointly and so feet wide where the
l3O0-mile tubes follow separate
courses.
Littlejohn voiced the hope the cor
poration will be ready to take over
on May /, the expiration date of a
temporary lease granted during the
coal strike to the Tennessee Gas
and Transmission Co.
