Lakeland may be, in fact, is “lit- tle” by comparison with New York and Chicago and the papers of those | cities could with entire propriety refer to us as such but it is to laugh to see Orlando assume the patronizing attitude and talk about ! the “little city of Lakeland.” i — e We don’t doubt that more peo-' ple have been drowned in the Unit- ed States this summer because they | couldn’t swim than have beep killed in airship and automobile accidents combined. It would be a good idea for the boy scouts in their summer camps on lakes and streams to muke; it a part of their specific program to teach every boy in the or',:zmiz:t-l tion how to swim. It's as easy as | falling off a log and not half as| dangerous. The head of every fam- | ily oucht to sce to it that all his boys and girls learn how to swim Just as certainly as they learn how to read. 0 We take it that the editor of the Miamj Metropolis doesn't approve of an anonymous communicatipn re. cently received at that office. He says in part: “It is inconceivable how a crav- | en could compose such an outra- geous, infamous and odious string of falsehoods as contained in the demagogic tantrum unless it be the product of a morbid misanthrope in the doldrums desiring to drabble the name of a great man in the muck and mire in which this tatter.: demalion has his habit and which he has impregnated with his obnox- fous presence until it has become corrupted by incipient putrefac- tion.” — Thhe Atlanta Georgian in mas- slve editorial celiverance declares: “What do the merely rich men really amount to? When they have ‘been dead two or thrce years they are as unknown and forgotten as the plgs and chickens that they ate, the horses that they drove, or the flunkies whose time they wasted.” Some mistake there, brother, at Jeast in the case of our canny old friend Andrew Carnegie. He is “merely rich” to the extent of about $300,000,000, and we will not be permitted to forget him as long as time and the elements spare his name in raised letters on the front of each of his hundreds of library buildings scattered throughout the country. Let us way nothing to dis. courd2' o the production of *“‘mercly rich meu.” We weed them and lots of them, and without them the army o the unemployed would ov- errun the country. ——0 | The Punta Gorda Herald speaks | " TODAY’S BIRTHDAY HONORS i layed around the park and no 130 OROROAORORHORORORONOACS LAORRNY CARRRY | why in thunder don’t we level oft that there little strip between the heing made at a soclety function re- wently at Mulberry Grove.

PERMANENT SOIL FERTILITY As stated before, we must have humus in the soil, the more the bet- er. : In Polk county the lands have more or less humus, with the excep- | tion of small areas, hence we have | something to build upon. We can easily add more by re_| turning to the soil all the vegeta- tion that is possible. It is not nec- essury that it should be turned un- der as green manure, to run the risk of souring the land, when it I 'will answer the same purpose by talk on laws turning it under after it has dried, when it will not sour the land but make take a little longer to be con- vered back to humus. The proper ! course to pursue is to maintain as much as possible the elements that g0 to make up a good soil and add to where deficient to make a good soil. The fact that Leibig's great dis-; covery, of over fifty years ago, to make phosphorus available for | can avail ourselves of the methol plant food where there were no oth- er elements to do so, does not prove that. we should continue to use the same methods where we have, or that the Almighty has providdd. Especially so when experience has shown that, by continuing year aft- er year the addition of acidulated phosphate, or bone meal, we injure the soil as I have mentioned be- fore. It is not necessary to point out again the many ways that it does so. In treating the soil we should be governed by much the same principle that a physician is governed by, namely, to make use | of no substance that if retained in the body will leave an injurious after.effect. Many substances have been used as medicine in the past that are now known to leave in- jurious after.effects that cannot be got rid of. This leads me to speak of one of the common prescriptions of the so- called eoll experts or fertilizer men that have prescribed for a frenched or yellow streaked condition of the leaf. I had about 100 six-year-old trees in my grove that showed more or less of this condition. They all agreed that it was from too much ammonia in the soil and advised the use of sulphate of cop- per. Since copper does not enter into plant life in the slightest, I was rather loth in making use of such a poison| Since the french- ing evidently came from the want of a proper balance in the soil (could find no evidence of nema. todes) I applied equal parts of low grade potash (25 per cent K 02 | up the holes and smooth off the-{ hills?

I would be in faver of the Bord of Trade havin spccal speeches made by the men of this tuwn on matters connected with the welj- fare of the citty. There is John McClellan, who would be willin .to speck on good roads, and Dr. Conj. ! bear, who could arise and show how the country and the town has got to work hand in glove, or tell about the Farmers’ Club.
