Vuicanizing CITY GARAGE All Work Guaranteed The Post reporter was grant- ed an interview with the young inventor this week. discovery,” said Mr. Feldman, as he led the way to a rear room 1in |his office. “I shall give you the test with a young tobacco plant one of the staple products on which T intend to labor hardest. This, with a battle wih the cot- ton boll weevil, will be sufficient for the time, at least.” From a box of seedlings Mr. {Feldman plucked a tiny plant and placed it on the slide of a compound microscope. On the root he dropped a bit of a strange mixture from a ve;sel and then in completion, sprink- led a tiny bit of white powder. “The liquid contains the mi- crobes and the powder is some- thing to excite them, you know. Now watch the result.” Through the high-powered lens he newspaper man watclr ed the myriads of wriggling mi crobes leave their places and at- tach themselves to the root. Shows Actual Results. “This is merely to show you what my discovery, I call it Dex- tro-Germoform, will do; now come with me and I will show you results. An orchard in the rear of a house near-by confirmed his statements. “Here are two peach trees four or five years old, planted as you see, 10 feet apart. They did not grow well and the leaves of both were sick with a rust disease. Onme tree was inoculated for comparison. In a few days it shed all of the sick leaves and new ones ap- peared and the stem increased to nearly twice its size. “ Here are the photographers and the trees—form your own opinion.” Grape vines, pear trees and other shrubs all bore evidence of the magic liquid. One instance in particular was quoted and the attention of the Post man called to it. “Here is a grape vine which would not hold the grapes. As soon as they ripened they would fall. I tried the “germs” on it and last year we had a vine load- ed with some of the most lus- cious grapes you ever saw, and you had to pull them off. Ask Mr. French, who owns the lit- tle orchard.” Experiments on Tobacco. An experiment on tobacco was made last season at the home of ex-Senator Edward B. Atwood. The plants were put in the open und in July, some in patunl and some treated with the “r will show a ‘working model’ of my civil engineer, and has engineer- ed the construction of one or two of the largest steel structure in New York; he also attained the degrees of B.

Under the caption, Camphor Forever, the New Orleans States publishes an editorial on a sub- 1ject in which Florida is greatly ! interested and in which her in- terest is growing. The States irefers to the increased demand for camphor caused by the mo- vies, to its increased value be- cause of its increased demand, to the monopoly in camphor declar ed by the Japanese government which was able to control the product because it was supplied {almost entirely by Formosa, a Japanese island, and says: For a hundred years scientists been trying to make camphor In 1903 a German had produced it from oil of turpentine, and ar- tificial camphor was put on the market. But with camphor at 40 cents a pound- owners of scat- tered camphor groves—set out mainly for shade and ornament —in Ceylon, Italy, Jamaica, began to wonder if there wasn’t some other and quicker way to get camphor. There was. chemist of the Kansas found it, simultaneously with other chemists of Ceylon. Both made startling discovery that you didn’t have to cut down your camphor tree at all! The dead leaves that fell from a five- vear-old tree yielded in seven years as much camphor as the whole tree would if chopped down. A crop every year—and you could keep your tree. At one stroke the Japanese monop- oly and the German factory went into discard. Camphor plantations are springing up in every warm climate, yielding quick returns, Many camphor trees have been set out in Jacksonville and prac- tically all of them are flourish- ing. The camphor tree grows here as well as the live oak or any native tree. Not a tree grows that is more symmetri- cal. The camphor tree is an or- Florida, Texas and California, | University of | As in most other directions, so also in the matter of the con- struction of good roads, South Florida leads the State. These Southwestern counties have pro- gressed further and faster in the last few years in the direction of the improvement of the pub- lic highways than has any other section of the State’s domain . The good roads fever struck us sooner than elsewhere and its successive symptomshave inturn been manifested. Duirng the ex- perimental stage we imitated others in trying all manner of materials, chiefly local—found along the routes of the roads— and soon ascertained that we has wasted our money, as others had done. But we gained wis- dom from experience—which is something that all others have not done. Soon we passed on to another stage and decided that it would be better to spend more money and get something per- manent for it. So we entered the brick stage—and we are go- ing to stay in it—at least here Hillsborough and in the counties that follow our example. The counties that constitute the group to which we have al- luded have raised and appropri- ated more money and built a greater mileage of brick and other first class roads, than any other section Of twice the area or population in Florida. And it is a fact that makes us not a little proud that Hillsborough county leads the State both in the amount of money. appropri- ated for this purpose and in the number of miles constructed and contracted for and now being built. We commend to the conven- tion now in session at St. Peters- burg the consideration of these facts, and respectfully point out to the body the availability and proximity of an example by which they can illustrate their arguments and exhortations to others to do likewise.—Tampa Tribune. PROFIT IN SWEET POTATOES. Jacksonville, March —Swee! potatoes are one of the most profitable crops in Florida. It is estimated that the acreage this year will be fully 25 per cent larger than last season. Grow- ers are beginning to realize that sweet potatoes of uniform size when raised in such quantities that shipment can be made iu™ carlots ,are a money maker. There is a steady increase in the demand for good stock. Th yield per acre is large, and the returns per acre compare favor- ably with any other crop in Flor- ida, when fertilizer, labor, and condition of soil are taken into consideration. For northern markets the Jersey Red, Tri- umph and Jersey Yellow, are the most popular varieties. All southern markets prefer the yellow yams. Sweet potatoes are in demand the year round. Prices range from 6oc to $1.25 per bushel. They can be raised on almost any kind of land, and by co-oper- ation the growers of every coun- ty could agree to plant a certain number of acres which would in- sure carlot shipments to the markets. There is not a time during the entire year that sweet potatoes are not in de- mand to a certain extent. Of course, prices fluctuate consid- erable but the southern sweet potato is a staple article and {growers are realizing the fact more every day.—The Packer. ————————————— as an ornament can also be grown for utilitarian purposes and already our state is begin- ning the growth of camphor trees for purposes of commerce. We expect sooner or later to see large areas in this state cov- ered with this growth that at {the same time furnishes shades, | beauty and money. The indus- |try will soon be an important one in this state. . There is no state in the Un- |ion whose soil gives such rich |retums as that of Florida. At | present immigrants are attracted | principally by the well known {fact that the neople here can put on the market vegetables earli- er than those of any other state east of the Rocky Mountains. This guarantes goo prices. Cali- fornia is the only competing state and it is too far from the principal markets to ever be- come a serious competitor. But Florida is increasing so - rapidly in population that if attention continues to be centered in veg- etables the markets will be over- stocked from this state alone. It is fortunate then tha ou ragri- cultural and horticultural class- es are ab!> to turn their atten- tion to other products that oth- er states canmot produce at all or cannot produce so p! . By a diversification of semi-trop- ical products alone our state can gfmper in
