THE EVEN.NG TELEGRAM, LAK ELAND, FLA, MAY 23, 1913. PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY, ’ Lime is one of the elements of] vegetation that is required by all forms, but by some in greater degreei than others. Trees require more than; some of the vegetables. About one- balf of the ash from orange and oak! wood is lime, hence it is essentiall that it be present in the soil to grow citrus fruits to perfection and keep them in a healthy condition. All good soils the world over have | it in large quantities, hence it fol- lows that we can make no mistake by supplying it in abundance since analysis shows that nearly all the soils in Polk county are deficient. In supplying it I would follow the example of the Creator and apply and mix it with the soil in the form of powdered lime rock. The solt magnesia lime would be the best, where it can be got as cheap as the others If used in the form of crushed rock it does not <estroy the humus; of the soil like other forms. Its presence in the soil is not only es- sential to complete the requirements of plant growth, but it is one of the miost important elements to encour- age the growth of the soil bacteria that are now known to perform the all-important part in preparing the[ earthy matte rfor plant absorption | It is now known that the best soils are occupied by eight different forms of bacterial lire, ldach of which undoubtedly have a different func- tion to perform, hence it is very im- | portant to encourage their growth,' but to be careful not to destroy thos that are present, | The writer had the pleasure ol seeing stereopticon views of some of the oldest experiment stations in the world, which had been treated with acid preparations in the form of fer- tilizers for sixty-seven years that ha:«l no bacteria in it. It would not grow even weeds, Hence it necessarily follows that we should be sure we do nothing to! injure the future fertility of our soil| it we want it to produce for our children. W. H. CONIBEAR.

The fancy for wearing a short, smart coat over thin summer frocks will appeal to the woman who is al- ways looking for something in the form of a pretty, practical wrap for dinners at the beach or at the coun- try club. The coatee of silk or velvet over a draped, gown of silken stuff admirably solves the wrap problem for the woman who never cares to ap- pear on the street without a coat of some sort. The selection of a coatee, whether in cutaway style, belted Russian ef- fect or a combination of the two, depends upon the figure of the wear SR PED R E R, OUR ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE In order to reduce stock in our Fur- niture Department, for 12 days, com- mencing May 24, and ending Satur- day, June 7, we will make from 10 to 50 per cent reduction on 2ll cash sales.

Other dances given in the same room had been successful, but there had always been a sort of barnlike atmosphere which no amount of gay- ety could dispel. One of the members of the committee explained the change. The girls on the comittee, six of them, had bought several rolls of deep pink crepe paper, a ball of twine We Take Orders Frd Anywhere in t City and some pins. On the tops of step- ladders and chairs they had made and fastened on ruffled paper shades over every electric bulb in the room. The result, for which the dancers could find no reason, was an air of festivity which every one noted. It was all due to the soft yellow pink light. sy Waistcoat Effects, Quite the most striking innovation seen in blouses was one of voile, This has a double breasted, low cut waist- coat of ratine striped voile with four white pearl buttons as a fastening and finish. From the neck to the top of the waistcoat it was filleq in with tucked voile. It had all the ap- pearance of a man's waistcoat and shirt front, but the materials were 30 soft as to relieve it of any possible mannish effect. Worn with a coat opened in front, it had the effect of a waistcoat attached t, . 0 the coat it Prompt Deliver Buy it for ECONOMY —one pound equals : ; two of the ordin- 4 TAILOR MADE CLOTHING AT CUSTOM PRICES.
