Newspaper Page TextSOIL INOCULATION IS THE BIG WONDER OF THE AGE In September, 1920, an article appeared in the Chicago Tribune and a dozen other metropolitian papers on a discovery of Dr. Frank Montgomery Wood, in which he was called the Soil Wizard. Dr. Wood, according to the ar ticle, had perfected a serum to be applied to plants. These bacteria attach themselves to plant roots and draw nitrates and phosphates from the air and soil. It was claimed that Dr. Wood could sup ply the equivalent of SSO in ferti lizers through his vaccine for 25 cents. We brought Dr. Wood to Val paraiso at an expense of $3,000 and have purchased the rights to his Vaccine in our two counties. 'The results to date have been nothing short of marvelous. Every kind of garden vegetable-has produced enormously. Radishes of the little round variety grew to 14 inches in diameter, head lettuce grew to fhe size of a peck measure. Toma toes are growing now three feet high, with sta k; as large as a broom handle,- and each full of blossoms and small tomatoes. Po tatoes have responded wonder fully. Two bushels were harvested April 10th that had been planted in February, and the appearance is that we will get at least 300 bushels per acre. f Roses, flowers of all kinds, grasses, and especially the cane, are all showing remarkable growth Much of our cane looked as good or better on April 15th than on May 15th last year. The introduction of soil inocu lation bids fair to do more for farming than anything else or everything else that has been in troduced in a century. Everything we have planted this year has grown lavishly, without a single exception. This applies to cane, peas, radishes, lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, rhubarb, ber ries, trees, roses and ‘every kind of flowers, grasses, oats, millet, corn, and in fact everything. Through this Vaccine we hope to revolutionize farming in Florida. If this company should never •do another thing it will build a monument through the introduc tion of Soil Vaccine that will stand forever in the future history of the development of Florida. Plants, crops, trees, etc., that bave and have not been inoculated show marked comparisons. It seems like the difference between life and death. All that were properly inoculated are showing marvelous growth while praclic ally all that were not inoculated have either failed to grow entirely or practically so. It should be known that in nearly sixty davs we have only had three rains. Religion Cheaper Than Crime. If everybody had religion there would not not be any use for front door locks, nor policemen, nor jails, nor law and order leagues, nor corn liquors, nor armies\ind navies, and our taxes would be reduced about seventy per cent. People who eternally kick about high taxes ought to go to preach ing. It is sin that causes all these things to be necessary. —Lavonia Times. , , ’ ;'■/' 1 isK YOUR GROCER ,: //uirimV llstrikeJ G ARETTE,^ A new size package! Ten for 10c. Very convenient.

A moving picture, entitled “Putting Georgia Moun tain Streams to Work,” which is being shown at one' of Atlanta’s largest movie houses, is attracting unusual attention among Atlan tans and visitors from other sec tions of the State in view of the discussion concerning water pow ers. The picture will be exhibited in other sections of the state and the country in connection with the “Boosting Georgia” campaign. The picture, according to local business men, has proved a reve lation in showing work that has already been done throughout the State in developing water powers. The Georgia Railway and Power Company alone has spent $20,000,- 000 in the last nine years in de veloping water powers in North Georgia. The picture, it is stated, shows developments already made and the possibilities of waterpow er development in the State either by public or private enterprise. Whether the average citizen is for private ownership or municipal ownership of water powers the picture is regarded as a wonderful exhibition of the/State water powers.

Some people prefer a mild, domestic, some like Porto Rican, others will be satisfied with nothing but Havana. Whatever your taste may be, we’ve the cigar to suit you. Some men say that a cigar just before bed time makes them sleep! Some say it keeps them awake. Probably, neither is correct.
