Oil Hunt In State
Is Shifting North

The hunt for oil in Florida, here-
tofore centered largely around the
state's only producing field at the
edge of the. Everglades, appears to
!be shifting nrdth and westward.
State Geologist Herman Gunter'.s
periodical report on oil operations
shows that only two of the eight
wells now being sunk in. the. state
are in the extreme southern por:
tion, and three of the six proposed
for early drilling are in the 'north-
.rn tier of counties.
According to the report, wells in
North Florida-now underway are
the one in St. Vincent ~'ound, in
Franklin county, now at a depth of
4,750 -feet, and another In Holmes
county, near Esto, at a depth of
1,073 feet. ,
Future wells planned in North
Florida include one in. Okaloosa
county about five miles southeast
of Oak Grove.

Sow Fall Crop of Spring

Vegetables this Summer


Green onions ai
are as tasty in
Tune.


-. take twice as long as the early ones
.to.' t reach the harvest.
Crops sown in the surtmer must
mature before freezing; and there-
fore the faster they grow, the long-
er you will be able to harvest
them in the fall. Growth is always
slower in the summer and fall than
in the spring. First hot, dry, weath-
er, then the shortening daylight
tends to slow down growth. Since
A catalogue maturity dates are based
upon spring sowing, you must
expect summer sowings to take
from a quarter to a third more
ime.
Therefore choose the earliest va-
rieties, the fastest growing ones,
for late sowing. And take special
precautions in sowing them. The
time to sow is directly related to
the maturity dates. With slow grow-
ing crops, such as Chinese cabbage,
nd young radishes which are best grown for fall har-
September as in vest, it is necessary to allow ai
least three months to maturity.


Every gardener grows early vege-
tables in the spring; but to start
these same varieties in midsummer
and enjoy their delicious freshness
in the fall entitles you to be con-
sidered an amateur of exceptional
skill.
Yet to do this requires no difficult
physical feats, merely a few men-
tal adjustments. Those who fail,
can blame it in poor staff work.
The first mistake likely to be made,
is to sow late varieties of vegeta-
bles, late in the season.
This is wrong, because the vari-
eties which seed catalogues de-
scribe as late, give a late harvest.
If your catalogue gives the days to
maturity, or table condition, you
will note that the "late" ones take
longest to mature. Instead of be-
ing sown late, they should usually
be. sown with the first crops, or
shortly thereafter; but they may


Before planning your summer
sowing schedule, check up local
weather records to learn the aver-
age date of the first killing frost in
the fall. Your late crops should be
sown early enough to allow two ol
three weeks harvest before thit
date.
With radishes, lettuce and an3
other vegetables that dislike hoi
weather, best results will usually b(
obtained by sowing after ,the pealh
temperatures have passed. Usual,
ly in August the turn of the season
comes, after which there are more
frequent rains, and cooler nights,
while the days grow noticeably
shorter. Cool weather crops sowr
when this turn comes will usually
do better than those sown during
the extreme heat; but the longer
sowing is delayed the more impor.
tant it becomes to select fast grow
ing-that is early-varieties.

Teachers Going Back To
School For Higher Pay

Florida teachers are going to
have a lot .more college credits
when school opens next September.
They are going back to college for
more training this summer in re-
cord numbers' in order to qualify
for the greatest possible salary in-
creases under the school law which
bases pay raises on educational
background.
With millions extra in state
money available, and a cash incen-
tive to hire. teachers with more
training, some counties are doubl-
ing the number of their faculty
members who have four-year col-
lege degrees.
Every college. summer school in
the state has reported a heavy in-
crease in enrollment in its teacher
training courses. The net result of
the. nei.w school bill cannot be cal-
culated, but the state departm-e.nt
of education' estimates it will re-

It looks as though the Saints' catcher of old was too old
to get around in Wewa Wednesday. Could be the heat, but
he is probably just lazy from lack of bull-pen catchers. If
our manager could hit when it was needed, there wouldn't
be any fun to the games, and especially the last half of
the eleventh with two out when we're a run behind.

Our Country P' Right or Wrong

YOU CAN'T EAT CURRENCY
As everyone knows, coal is one of the vital
raw materials which keep the American. pro-
duction machine running. The coal strikes
were directly responsible for drastically re-
duced output of a long list of commodities. If
they had been prolonged, the eventual result
would have been a collapse of steel production,
electric power production, and transportation.
The entire nation would have been subjected
to an artificially-induced depression, accom-
panied by widespread'unemployment.
High coal production is likewise important
to the furtherance' of this country's present
foreign policy. One phase of that policyis fi-
nancial and material aid to stricken nations,
in an attempt to keep them out of the expand-
ing Communist sphere of influence. And to
many nations, imports of American coal are
almost as vital as imports of Arerican food.
Congress may appropriate hundreds of mil-
lions of doftars for foreign aid-but that will
achieve ,nothing unless those dollars can hbe
converted into the. commodities cold and hun-
gry peoples must have. You can't eat currency
-nor can yolise it for. fuel.

SOUTHPAWS
'We don't pretend to know why about 88
per cent of human beings are right-handed.
It's just one of those phenomenas that make
the human race both peculiar and interesting.
But there's no question that left-handers have
been up against obstacles. They've never had
a square' deal, and in a democracy a man Is
entitled to his idiosyncrasies if they don't un-
duly conflict with the rights of his peers.
Banks are conservative but they do tender
a needed service, and it'sparticularly hearten-.
ing to read that a St. Louis bank sees the total
picture and has issued some left-handed check
books. This is more than good business and
more than a simple service. It is having whole-
some repercussions throughout the left-handed
world To lonno- a callnous ma ionrtv has adrloned


the attitude that left-handers should adapt
themselves't6 a right-handed civilization. Now


WHY TAXES MUST BE HIGH
Because of the wholesome disbelief in the
idea that there are people in the world who
will pass up a chance to swell their bank ac-
counts, these editorial columns are frequently
given to quoting the words of an old cynic
woo once said: "There are better things in
life than money, but it takes money to get
thchm."
Another favorite is the expression of a chap
who said that "You can't get poor taking."
It was with the thought, therefore, that an
exception had been found that proved the rule
the other day when the case was cited of E.
B. Tilton, the Milwaukee business man whu
refused $6000 of his salary, preferring to turn
down that amount of his annual earnings than
to pay the income tax which its acceptance
would entail.
But now comes the story of Frank R. Nich-
ols, president of the Nichols Wire and Steel
Company, who has returned to the govern-
ment a check for $,020 which was intended
to subsidize his, firm's manufacture of nails.
'The reasons given by Mr. Nichols for his
refusal of the RFC grant *are almost a classic
in these days of the economic paradox that
business should sieze every available oppor-
tunity t6 feast on the patrimony of a rich
Uncle Sam. He said that he and other pro-
ducers disliked "the idea of having the govern-
mient subsidize us out of the taxpayers- pocket
to cajole us into doing. what it was proper
for us to do."
- He declared that his firm' "has stood on our
own feet without governmental financial as
distance for 40-odd years, and we don't wan.
to, .nor do we need to lean on Uncle Sam."
Few taxpayers -realize hlow much of their
money is paid out every year by the govern-
ment in subsidies. To cite only two, the mari-
time industry is subsidized to the extent of
millions of dollars annually, and the govern-
ment is pledged to keep the prices of farm
products at about 90 per cent of their parity
value.
Such is the econonihis of why Mr. Tilton,
the Milwaukee businessman, cannot enjoy the
full benefit of his entire annual-salary. There
are many persons who say they ablior'the idea
of subsidies as much as the nail manufacturer,
but there are few, to use a bit of gambler's
slang, "who will put their money where their
mouth is."--Jacksonville Times-Union.

HAROLD THE PROPHET
Former Governor Stassen, the only 'avowco
candidate for president next year, says that
the Democratic ticket will be Truman and
Wallace. Since Mr. Stassen has jumped with
both feet into the marshy field of prophecy,
perhaps we may gingerly stick a toe in. Our
achy bones tell us that if the donkey's stan-
dard bearers in 1948 are Truman and Wallace,
it will either be some' other Truman than
Harry or soine other Wallace than Henry.-

Is Being Sought On Fifteen
Possible Candidates

Have you a desire to toss your
hat into the ring in the forthcom-
ing gubernatorial race? If so, send
your name to Kent Watson of Mi-
ami, who is conducting a state-wide
poll on next year's election. He
states that a cross-section of the
-voting populace is being polled
and he will announce his re-sults
about August 1.
.Watson's poll contains the names
of 15 possible candidates, although
more have been mentioned as pos-
sible contenders. Herewith are the
15, with Watson's comments:
W. S. "Buddy" Baskin This
Ocala lawyer was a member of the
1945 Florida house of representa-
tives. When he attempted to air
his views of pending legislation to
the 1947 house, hli was shouted
down'.
Henry S. Bayard--Governor Cald-
well's whip in both the 1945 and
1947 senate, definitely has guber-
natorial aspirations. He is a St.
Petersiburg attorney.
Stafford Caldwell-The Tallahas-
see attorney, is well known in Mi-
ami bar circles. He 'was at one time
the. law partner of Abe Aronovitz
and has 'made two previous unsuc-
cessiful races for governor.
LeRoy Collins Another Talla-
hassee attorney and staunch sup-
porter of Governor Caldwell in the
past two sessions of the legisla-
ture. He is considered one of the
state's most promising young at-
torneys.
Colin English-The state super-
intendent of public instruction
probably could be talked into run-
'ning. He.fees tha the new school
bill would make excellent timber
for his platform.
George E. Holt-The Miami cir-
cuit judge has remained, mum on
his plans for the 1948 campaign,
but he is toying with the idea.
J. Edwin Larson-He isn't too
anxious. The state, treasurer likes
his present job and can reasonably
be. expected to announce for re-
election.
Dan McCarty-Politicians in the
know claim that the Fort Pierce at-
torney's announcement, one way or
thbe other, depends on what Repre-
se.ntative George Smathers does.
McCarty is a former state repre-
sentative. He appears to have lost
the public eye the past year, but is
now accepting public speaking e.n-
gaments in various parts of the
state. Probably a. warm-up for his
campaign.
Brailey Oldham -- An unknown
until 'tile 1947 legislature, but his
accusation on the floor of the housi
that former Rep. Bernie Papy of
Key West offered him a bribe to
vote against the "bookie" bill made
his name a by-word, in most sec-
tions of the state. He .isn't ex-
pected to run. .Shortly before the
close of the. legislature he declared
he was through with politics. .Old-
ham is, from Sanford.
Walter B. 'Rose The veteran
economy-minded senator from Or-
lando is already considered in the
race He should garner some power-
ful backing from real estate. inter-
ests and' big business. His cam-
paign slogan is expected to read:
"We don't need any more taxes."
Tom Sebring-The state supreme
court justice frequently has been
mentioned 'for governor. Although
he has been out of the country
for several months, his participa-
tion at the war trials in Germany
has kept him in public print.
Richard H. Simpson-The Monti-
cello representative, was chosen by
the 1945 and 1947 houses as the
most valuable member. He may
make the race, but he wants Secre-
tary of Agriculture Nathan Mayo's


the Jacksonville attorney already
has passed hts peak. However, he,
should lead this poll as he is the
most wdll-known, at this time, of
any of the possible candidates
mentioned on the ballot.
J. Tom Watson '- Tne artorn.-y
general ht already-announced. La-
bor has threatened to organize
anti-Watson clubs and probably
will. Watson's anti-labor union
views appeal to many who are fed
lip with worker-employer strife.

Two Pests Menace Crops
In North-South Florida

An infestatiofii of white fringe ,
beetles has been found in Holmes
county, in North Florida, and down
in Hillsiborough county a plague of
grasshoppers is threatening citrus
and farm crops.
The bettle infestation is believed
to have hit the. United States in a
shipment of goods from Argentina,
its original home, which was sent!
to Florala, Ala., to start the infes-
top


station in this country. The beetle
ha been found in North Carolina,
south Georgia, Mississippi, Ala-
bama and in Escambia, Okaloosa
and Walton counties in Florida.
Citrus growers and farmers in
Hillsborough county are working
out plans to combat the grasshop-
per menace which threatens, their
crops. According to agricultural
agents, the 'hoppers are "multiply-
ing at a prodigious rate" and have
become a serious menace to citrus
groves and farms in the Plant City
area.

MISSING THE VITAMINS
A 'man went to the bar and or-

up the bowl of the glass and threw
the step over his shoulder. He
continued this for about six mar-

tender was staring at him. -
"I guess you think I'm crazy,
don't you?" he asked.
"I sure do," replied the bartender.
