Yard Beautification

Contest Winners Are

Announced By Club

Judges Find Selection of Most Out-
standing Projects A Dif-
ficult Proposition

Winners in the "Yard Improve-
ment" contest sponsored by the St.
Joe Garden Club were announced
at a joint meeting of the Gladiolus
and Azalea Circles held Thursday
of last.week at Hotel St. Joe.
Eighteen of Port St. Joe's citizens
entered this contest, and the judges
found it most difficult in selecting
the three winners, since twelve had
completed the job they set out to
do, which all amounted to great .m-
provement.
Points on which the contestants
were judged were (1) general land-
scaping, (2) condition of the lawn,
(3) condition of the shrubbery, and
(4) the elimination of unsightly
spots.
Consideration was also taken of
the amount of work done, greatest
amount of improvement, and the
amount of money spent on outside
help.
After eliminating seven more of
the contestants, the-judges awarded
the prizes to Mrs. George Patton,
first, $25; Mrs. Garland Lawrence,
second, $15, and Mrs. Basil E. Ken-
ney Jr., third, $10. Honorable men-
tion went to Mrs. J. C. Culpepper
and Mrs. George Cooper.
The Garden Club points out that
this contest was very beneficial to
,t community, aiding in making it
attractive to visitors and- a-more
beautiful place in which to live.

exciting game last Friday night.
The first quarter was a.give-and-
take battle, with Mitchell Larkin of
Bristol crashing over in the begin-
ning of the second quarter for the
first score. The rush play for extra
point was made by Junior Phillips.
The second Bristol touchdown and
extra point were also made by Phil-
lips.
Toward the end of the second
quarter, Larkin picked up a long

Ordinance Calls


for Re-registration


of City's Voters


Will Get 'Dead Wood' Off
Books; New Commission-
ers Are Seated

At the regular meeting of the city
commission, the city dads heard the
first reading of an ordinance call-
ing for re-registration of all voters
within the confines of Port St. Joe.
The ordinance provides for the
registration books to open Wednes-
day, November 7, and remain open
from 9 a. m. to 12 noon -and from 2
to 5 p. m. every day except Sundays
and holidays, until 10 days prior to
the holding of the next regular mu-
nicipal election.
It is estimated by City Clerk Ben
Dickens that of the 1,540 names on
the books that about 400 of them
are "deaid wood," having left the
city or died. He figures that usually
about two-thirds of the qualified
electors turn out for an election,
which is generally about 750, or ap-
proximately half of those registered.
Final reading of the ordinance will
be on October 16.
The two new commissioners, Clif
ford Tharpe and Watson Smith;
and Mayor Jake Belin were duly in-
stalled, after which the budget for
the ensuing year, as published, was
adopted.
Ralph E. Rich; past commander
of Willis V. Rowan Post 116, Amer-
ican Legion, and president of the
Gulf County Fair Association, ap-
peared before the board with a re-
quest that the license for the car-
nival being sponsored by the Legion
be Waived. His request was granted,
but the board insisted on assessing
the city admission tax.
Only other matter of importance
coming up was the request of the
West Florida Gas Company to in-
stall a storage tank in the alley
near Rich's Super-Market on prop-
erty owned by E. J. Rich. Since the
gas company has not given a defi-
nite proposal in regard to the mat-
ter, the commission tabled it until
details are forthcoming.

Our Country Right or Wrong

PIG CANCELS WELFARE CHECK
One of the nastiest pieces of bureaucrat ar-
rogance we've seen in a long time is that of the
federal government holding back Florida's old
age assistance fund allocation because of a new
state law permitting a person to have a garden,
one cow, one pig and ten chickens for his own
use without getting his welfare check cut.
Previous to passage of this law a considerable*
number of old folks who had chickens, or a cow,;
or a pig, or perhaps all three, were warned by
district welfare offices to get rid of them. In
fact, we had a couple of cases like that right
here in Port St. Joe, and if our memory serves
us correctly, we editorialized rather strongly
about it at the time.
What do those mealy-mouthed bureaucrats up
in Washington think the old folks are going to

Surfacing of Road Finally Approvea
Good news, finally! The road de-
partment announces that 4.6 miles
of Highway No. 6 between White
City and Cypress Creek will be re-
surfaced. This stretch of road for
several years has been the bane of
motorists using it, and those with
false teeth have been compelled to
remove them for safety's sake when
coming to this badly rutted section.
In fact, it is so rough that H. M.
McClamma avers that at times his
milk for 'delivery to St. Joe is
churned to butter in passing over
this stretch.

Be Sure to Use Right

Fertilizer for Each Crop


For every ton of commercial fer-
tilizer that farmers of the United
States used in 1939 they used in
1949, eleven years later, 2-1/7 tons.
The greatest quantity increases
were in the South Central, South At-
lantic, and East North Central re-
gions, in each of which over two
million tons more fertilizer were
Used in 1949 than in 1939. The great-
est percentage increase was in the
West North Central region, which
used more than 11 times as much.
Two states of that region-Iowa and
Minnesota-together doubled this
increase by using 22 times the quan-
tity. 0
Wit; this great increase in the
use of fertilizer in our important
farm areas, it behooves the farm-
ers of the United States to be sure
Sthqt they make the proper and best
possible use of this fertilizer. Even
these figures giving increase in ton-
iage don't tell the whole story be-
cause of the increased percentage
of plant nutrients, in each ton of fer-
tilizer during this period, so that
instead of 2-1/7 timzs as m'.ch it
is more nearly 2% times in effec-
tiveness.
We need to make sure that we
know when to use fertilizers, how
to apply them, and what the fer-
tilizer needs of our soils and crops
are. We need to know and under-
stand commercial fertilizers if we
are to get all that we can from cur
fertilizer dollars, as well as frcm
our seed dollars and the dollars
used in other ways to improve our
crop yields.
Most farmers know that commer-
cial fertilizers are not a substitute
for the use of lime, contouring, seed
of high quality and of the right vari-
ety, manure, and, good crop rota-
tions. Instead of being a replace-
ment, commercial fertilizer is a
supplement to manure and soil-
building crops such as clovers and
alfalfa. By following these other
good soil-building practices, we can
then make the best use of cnr-m-r-
cial fertilizer


lb--- ~L


As far as the piant or the crop is
conceded, commercial fertilizers
may differ greatly. We need to know
fertilizers to make the right selec-
tion for the crop and soil.
Three different major plant food
elements are contained in commer,
cial iertilizer--nitrogen, phosphor-
us, and potassium. All of these
elements are found in the soil, but
sometimes there is too small an
amount in an available form; that
is, the plant cannot get enough for
the best growth and yield. In that
case we can often add commercial
fertilizer of the right kind with
profit. Each of the three ele-
ments has a certain job to do in
producing the crop. One cannot sub-
stitute for the other. No amount of
phosphate added will correct a soil
that is too low in potassium or ni-
trogen.
Just as soils differ greatly in ap
pearance and productivity, so do
they also differ in the kind of fer-
tilizers they need. Thisis the main
reason why the amounts and the
grades of fertilizer used by farmers
in different soil areas are so differ-
ent.
In addition to the major differ-
ences in fertilizer needs among the
general soil areas, the soils within
any one soil area even within a
soil type also differ markedly in
their fertilizer needs, depending
upon cropping history and general
soil management practices used.
Fertilizer experiments cannot be
carried out on every farm. In many
cases, however, a farmer can make
some fertilizer tests in a field by the
use of broad strips of land differ-
ently fertilized. Farmers can often
be mutually helpful by participat-
ing in such simple tests.
Chemical soil or plant tissue tests
made in a central laboratory are
often very helpful as a guide to more
economical fertilizer practice. Ask
your county agent where to have
such, a test made, and how to take
the samnle.

To Oil Company

Commonwealth Oil Secures Petro-
leum Rights On 885,000 Acres
In Northwest Florida

Gulf county's state-owned water
bottoms were included in a lease to
the Commonwealth Oil Company
last week when the company paid
the state of Florida $10,500 for pe-
troleum rights on 885,000 acres of
water bottoms along the Northwest
Florida Gulf coast.

In addition to the cash, the oil
company is to pay a penny an acre
on 665,000 acres of offshore Gulf
bottoms and two cents an acre on
220,000 acres of bayou, sound and
bay, bottoms.
if you see an oil rig sprouting in
St. Joseph's Bay one of these days.
This rent will increase 5% each
year after.the second year, and the
state, as owner of the land, will get
one-eighth of any oil that is forth-
coming from the water bottoms.
The offer of Commonwealth was
the only one received by the in-
ternal improvement commissions,
which had anticipated a spurt of
bidding because of a show of oil in
,a well at Flomaton, Ala., just four
miles from the Florida state line.
The well, however, has been aban-
doned as a poor prospect.
The lease to Commonwealth in-
cludes coastal lands in Gulf, Santa

and Bay counties.

Governor Warns
of Forces Seeking
General Sales Tax

Urges Grocers Lead Fight Against
Levy On Necessities of Life
and Guard Homestead Act

Food may be subject to the state
sales tax by 1953 unless Florida
grocers take the lead in fighting
such a-move, Governor Fuller War-
ren said Sunday at the opening
session of the annual meeting of
the Florida Retail Grocers' Associa-
tion in St. Petersburg.
He urgel grocers to make candi-
dates for governor and the legisla-
ture take a firm stand:
1. Against taxes o; necessities of
life (food and clothing) and against
further taxes on consumers.
2. Against elimination of reduc-
tion of the $5000 tax exemption on
homesteads.
3. For legislation prohibiting use
of "loss leader" items to attract
shoppers.
After praising the association for
its fight in 1949 and 1951 to prevent
the legislature from including food
items in the sales tax, lie warned
that the forces who want "a gen-
eral sales tax," where all items
would 'be taxed, "will not be satis-
fied with defeat. They will try to
tax exempted items in 1953. They
tried to do it in 1951."
He said the most popular amend-
ment ever added to Florida's con-
stitution was the one exempting
for tax purposes all homesteads up
to a value of $5000.
"It has brought more benefit to
more people than any other amend-
ment," he stated, "but despite this
fact there are forces that want to
abolish the exemption. If they can't
repeal it, they want to weaken it.
-Some of them want to reduce it to
$2500 or allow homesteads to be
taxed for school purposes.
"If they are going to change it at
all they should raise the exemption
to $10,000," he said, adding that a
home which cost $5000 when the
amendment was adopted costs al-
most $10,000 now.
The governor then took a slap at
the practice of using "loss leader"
items in merchandising. He told the
grocers that this practice works a
hardship on them. "It creates an
unfair advantage, and I'm hopeful
that the next session of the legisla-
ture will'have a smaltbusiness com-
mittee in each house to.go into this
matter.
"The American practice is to live
and let live," he concluded. "Just
because you've got strange resources
doesn't mean you should use them
'to drive out the weak. This 'loss
leader' business is a tendency in
that direction.

tilizer from Chile reached'the U. S.

many years, according to O. Earle
Frye, chief game biologist of the
state game and fresh water fish
commission.
Basing his opinion on reports of
wildlife officers and field tech-
nicians throughout -the state, Frye
stated that the overall hunting pros-
pects this season look good, bar-
ring a hurricane or other serious
natural disaster.
In a 'breakdown on the overall
state hunting prospects, Frye said
that dder and turkey populations
are on the increase throughout the
state. Quail populations, however,
will be slightly higher in most of
the 1st, 4th and 5th districts, and
about the same or slightly reduced
in the 2nd and 3rd (Gulf county is
in the 3rd district), as compared
with last year.
He also said that squirrels would
be slightly increased everywhere
this season, with the possible excep-
tion of two or three counties in the
1st district, where they had excel-

lent squirrel hunting last year.
On migratory bird hunting, Frye
stated that he was expecting only
an average dove season this year,
even though the resident dove pop-
ulation in Florida is unusually high.
Reason for this is that the migra-
tory dove population in Northern
states has decreased considerably
which will have an effect on the
Florida hunting.'
Duck hunting should be about the
same throughout Florida, or slightly
better, than it was last year, de-
pending 'to a considerable extent on
weather conditions in the North,
said Frye.
In summing up his opinion, Frye
said that Florida hunters can look
forward to a little better hunting
all the way around than they had

How To Send Gift

Packages Abroad

Be Sure Your Parcel Fulfills All
Regulations, Otherwise It
May Be Held Up

As residents of Port St. Joe and
Gulf county begin looking around
for Christmas gifts for relatives
and friends abroad, they are cau-
tioned not to send gift packages
overseas without first familiarizing
themselves with the regulations of
other countries on the importation
of such goods, otherwise their pack-
ages may be held up.
Just about every country in the
world has some kind of regulation
on the importation of goods, whe-
ther it be Christmas gifts or com-
mercial shipments.
For example, gift packages sent
to the Netherlands must not con-
tain more than 1000 cigarets. In
shipping to Italy, if you label your
-package "pacco familiar gratuito"
it will go duty-free and without the
necessity of obtaining an import.li-
cense. Customs duties and taxes
are levied on all articles sent as
gifts to the Soviet zone of Germany
and the Soviet sector of Berlin.
It is advisable to ask for regula-
tions covering the shipment of gift
packages before placing them in
the mails if you want to be sure
they arrive in time for Christmas.

Americans own approximately 30,-
545,000 automobiles.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

October is the magic month, when
every day brings fresh energy to
start making the daydreams come
true-dreams inspired by the gay
seed packets and the thoughts of
the bulbs arriving from across land
and sea to find a home in Port St.
Joe gardens. It is the time, too,
when every gardener, as he plants
these treasures in the good earth,
affirms anew his faith in Divine
Goodness which will bring forth
from seeds and !bulbs the green,
leaves and gay blossoms locked
away in these tiny emllemp of im-
mortality.
October is one of the best months
for seed planting. It is also the im-
portant time \to plant bulbs for
spring blooming. Copious rains of
last month have put the ground in
excellent condition to, plant flower
seeds in the open ground where
they are to grow.
Of course, in spite of mixing the
tiny seeds .with large amounts of
vermiculite or sand to make them
spread out, ,they still come up so
thick that they must be thinned
out. These little plants may be
moved to other beds or borders and
with a little help from a transplant-
ing solution will never know that
they were disturbed.
'Sweet peas should :be planted now
for 'best results.

Here' why Fordomatic


pfs them all in the past

For the past year, auTomotive writers, engineers and owners have been
raving about a new kind of automatic driving ...
and here's why you get it
. ... .....


All the power you need when you need it! It gives you instant "GO"!
fie ^ h Itpractically drives itself!
--^ .^as^.


The automatic drive some cars offer you is a
torque converter which multiplies torque with-
out the use bf gears. Its advantage is a smooth
low of.power. Its disadvantage is a smaller
Sange of torque multiplication which requires
hnore power from the engine and an uneco-
nomical axle ratio which increases costs.

Other cars offer an automatic drive that uses
automatic gears (as illustrated In simplified
form at right) instead of a torque converter.
The advantage here is more "go," more con-
,rol and greater economy. The disadvantage
s that this system is not as smooth, nor as
jerk-free as a torque converter.

See our selection of
USED CARS


/fASo Yes, Fordomatic has a
* torque converter plus automatic:
gears. It brings you only the
advantages of both drives.
Unlike cars with only a torque
converter (which start and cruise
all in one drive gear), Fordo-
motic starts fast and smooth in
Intermediate Gear then shift
itself into Drive Gear.
