Lead Nation In
Harvested Oranges

WASHINGTON Up - Florida's
Polk and Orange counties lead the
nation in tons of oranges harvested
despite the fact they haven't as
many trees as Orange County,
California.
The census bureau reported Mon
day that studies in 1850 showed
CALIFORNIA; Orange County had s.
$3.50 orange trees, for top rank
in the nation.
Polk County, Florida, was second
in trees with 1927, ATS and Orange
County, Florida, fifth with $685.
S95. Los Angeles and San Bernard
inc Counties in California were
third and fourth.
But, the bureau pointed out, in
tons of fruit harvested in 1949,
Polk County was far out in front
with 63S, 46S tons. Florida's Orange
County was second with ASS, 1873
tons, just nosing out CALIFORNIA;
Orange County with 455,068.

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
sv HAL BOYLE

NEW YORK Up - The slender
man with the white shock of hair
looked up from his news desk to
the clock on the wall.
He pulled off his green eyeshade
for the last time, and his unlined
boyish face and blue eyes broke
into a shy grin. The clock was
saying goodbye to the men around
him at the end of another working
day - it was saying goodbye to
him at the close Of his working
life.
It was a pleasant 1901 on the
job for Sam Ochiltree, retiring at
65 after spending 10 years as a
telegrapher and 36 years as a re-
porter and news editor.
''In this business you hurry all
your life, don't your" he said.
''That is what viii seem funny
from now on. will never have to
hurry again."
Hollywood never discovered Sam
Ochiltree. It isn't interested in
him and that's bad. For his life
story would make a wonderful
film. But how could Hollywood
dramatic man whom no one
can remember ever lifting his
voice, saying a word in anger, or
ever criticizing another human be-
ing?
One Of Sans first tasks as q
telegrapher here In 1905 was to
handle messages on the great San
Francisco earthquake and fire. On
his final day he edited Associated
Press dispatches about war in
4 place he'd never been - Korea.
In between he helped cover or edit
stories on most OF tn great news
events Of the century.
The constant acquaintance with
disaster and the follies of human
flesh that make some newsmen
cynical never robbed Sam of his
warm and steady sense of brother
hood. His last hours on the job he
spent breaking-in his successor
who is q.
Hes a bright kid" said Sam.
picks up things fast"
Sam then went across the street
to an office party in his honor, and
as he is a modest man this was
something Of an ordeal. They gave
him a shaving kit, leather-cov-
cred clock, and q fine suitcase for
q trip to London he is planning.
Holding up the shiny suitcase, Sam
said:
This ought to even get me by
st. Peter without a passport"
The next day Sam and l met for
lunch, and he gently objected to
some Of the ideas people have
about retirement.
People who other people regard
as old don't feel that way" he
said. "Oldness isn't a particular
feeling - you feel the same. but
you just get tired sooner. Old peo-
pie have the same feeling as young
people. That is why they some
times make fools Of themselves"
For some reason people think
when q man retires he has to have
4 hobby - something to drive him
like n madman to make things out
Of wood.
II have plenty Of interests. For
example, one Of my friends is q
religious editor who doesn't believe
in religion, | have been trying TO
convince him Of the value Of pray

TO start going 10 church"

year he became q telegrapher--

girl. They have two sons. five
grandsons.
"You notice how many men who
live to be old have remained with
the wife of their youth - like
Winston Churchill" he said. THAT
is a splendid life: For people to
grow old together"
Not that Sam has any idea he
is old yet. He recalled that when
Abraham Lincoln left Springfield
for Washington he spoke of coming
there as young man and said
that now he was an old man.
"Yet the greatest part of his
life was ahead of him." said Sam.
"what a wonderful newspaperman
Abraham Lincoln would have
made!"

years was too long to watt and there was
nothing in prospect, even then.
Years ago that was, twelve years and three
months and two days. He had not even seen
her picture in the papers since her husband
died two years, four months and six days ago,
and he did not write to her.
He COT up unwillingly and went to the door
for the morning paper. The moment of great

crept back into his still warm bed with the
morning paper This morning his bed was an
especial refuge 1t was raining, he saw, as'he
shut the window against the raw spring air.
At least he had the shelter of this room, this
bed, and he had been wise enough in the days
when he was working to invest his earnings
so that he would not starve. One meal day
and the meager rent were assured. There was
no particular joy in the barren security, but
it meant that he could be Indifferent about
getting up and going out on bad day.

bonds of friendship and past success were
wearing down. Yet he dared not 60 to another
agent, if indeed one would take him on. Nick
knew him, at least. He did not have to explain
what he could do.
At this moment the table lamp, always
uncertainty connected, went out. He threw
down the paper in sudden anger and sprang
up to plug it back in, when he saw his name
leap at him from the pages.
Drake Forester Found Dead
In His Apartment
It was small headline on back page. He
seized the paper and took it to the window,
and read his own obituary. Drake Forester,
an actor, was found dead in his bed this morn

always the same and so was the answer.
"Have you heard of anything, Nick?"

The next two sentences were likewise
always the same.
Thanks, Nick. If there is the slightest

hesitating words.

He was never anywhere but in his one-room

went out for walk or cheap meal some

Acid Soil Fixes Phosphate
And Makes Soil lntertile

What makes acid soils infertile7
To find an answer to this question,
John NJ. Heslep investigated two
types Of acid soils in northern Cali
fornia and reported his findings in
his dissertation.
Heslep found that one Of the main
reasons for infertitity is the tre-
mendous power Of acid soil TO fix
phosphate So tightly is phosphate
held by the soil that IL would require
forbidding amount Of fertilizer
20 satisfy the phosphate needs Of
the soil and make the element avail
able to plants.
Using Roman lettuce as test
plants. the Investigations disproved
two theories Of what causes in
fertility in acid soils; manganese
toxicity while present in acid soils
Is not responsible ior the slow plant
growth, and neither is lack OF cal
cium. Calcium applications In the
form OF lime do neutralize the acid
in soil and produce good growth.
but iafertility apparently is caused
by soil acidity rather than by lack
OF calcium.
Heslep's work was the first study
OF infertility in acid soils in Cali.
fornia II was limited TO two types
OF soil. and il remains TO be seen
whether his findings also apply to
the several hundred other kinds Of
