mercials will last ten seconds and reach groups
of 100,000 craniums (or is it crania?). Another
expects three-dimensional, full-color home mov-
ies on electronic tape. This prediction, at least,
assumes there will still be homes.
But another fellow, an expert typographre,
predicts television developments will eliminate
all forms of movable type.
This last one causes us to reach for our own
predicting hat. In a hundred years, everybody
may be One-Worlders, and be talking and writ-
ing Esperanto or some still unborn universal
language. Or it may be Russian. But, if we
survive our curiosity about atoms for another
hundred years, there will be type.
Can you imagine anybody writing anything
if he couldn't see it in print-or send clippings
or autographed copies to his friends-or paste it
in a scrap-book?
If there's a language, there will be type.
And there will be community newspapers-to be
passed from hand to hand in the household, kept
on the living-room table, and gradually devoured
from day to day until the next issue is out.

More than two hundred years ago, the sage
old philosopher, Samuel Johnson, wrote: "Life
is surely given us for higher purposes than to
gather what our ancestors have wisely thrown
away.

ETAOIN SHRDLU
by WESLEY t. RAMSEY

Our city clerk, Woodrow Hen-
derson by name, must come from
Georgia. City Commissioner "Win-
dy" Tharpe was telling us the oth-
er day about a fishing trip taken
by Woodrow, Elmo Ford and him-
self. "Windy" said that he and,
Elmo caught about 23 good sized
bream and shelf crackers and
Clerk Henderson caught three
Georgia fish :'on 'the expedition.'
namely two eels and a polliwog.
"Windy" said that Woodrow didn't
throw his "catch" back either. We
couldn't find out whether or not
Woodrow ate his "fish" or not.

Upon perusing through the host
of weekly newspapers of this su,-
rounding territory that we exchange
with, we find one editor that is a
traitor to the traditions of the
Southland. This particular editor
is Jim 'Sellers of the Graceville
News. He flatly stated in his col-
umn, "The Peanut Gallery" la',t
week that he didn't like water-
melon! Can you imagine that! He
doesn't hint around delicate like
that he wouldn't tu,":i down other
food in favor of a nice cool hunk
of watermelon, but he comes right
out just as bold as brass in ten
point type on page one and states
that he just doesn't care for the
best summer eating in the South.
We ough to educate that boy,

Well the Republicans have now
raised the box rent at the post of-
fice. They say it is to balance the
operating budget of the depart-
ment. We agree with this balancing
the budget, but we think there is
one way to do it besides raising
box rent. This way is to go up on
the mailing of advertising folders
and pamphlets. Post offices all ov-
er the country are flooded with
this sort of material, .which goes at
one of the cheapest possible rates.
Of course, some of us might not
get much mail if it weren't for
,the advertising circulars, but it
sure runs the operating cost of theI
post office department up a hun-
dred fold. Also, we may be cutting
our own throats, but we donlYt
think the mailing rate for news-
papers and magazines is high
enough. A few raises in the right
places would help the post office
anore, we think, and not be a bur-
den on the one who is least effect-


operating revenue.

It looks like the rains have
stopped for a while and the heat
has set in. But just as sure as we
say "it looks like the rain has
stopped" it will flood before the
paper gets out.

R. Howard, orders tfor more than
25,000 trees may have to be cut,
after all orders have been received.
Deadline for ordering trees from

ders for more -than 25,000 trees be
cut below the 25,000 mark.
Those ordering 25,000 trees or
less should include payment in full
with their applications. .Checks or
money orders should be made out
to the FLORIDA BOARD of FOR-
ESTRY. Landowners ordering ov-
er 25,000 tree seedlings should with-
hold payment until notified by the
district forester.

at the local offices of the county
ranger., county agent, and the SCS.
All applications should include a
desired date of delivery, or an ap-

In July 1952, 65 persons were
killed and hundreds injured in
traffic accidents and died in drown-
ings and over-exertion. The Gover-
nor hopes. in his Proclamation that
people will use caution and be care-
ful in the way they drive, walk
and play.
School is out. Over 600,000 chil-
dren are enjoying the holidays.

TOO LATE

TO CLASSIFY
BY RUSSELL KAY


Every indication points to an-
other record-breaking summer tour-
business for Florida. Transportation
companies have discovered that
Florida can be sold as a summer
playground as well as winter, and
are beaming their promotion effort
in this direction.
Each summer more and more
people visit .the state. They have
returned home and told neighbors
and friends that Florida has plenty
to offer the summer vacationist
including an air-conditioned climate
cool nights, reasonable accomoda-
tions and entertainment to meet
every- taste.
Folks who used to scoff at the
Idea of visiting Florida in the sum.
mner time under the assumption that
because it is warm in the winter it,
must be twice as hot in the summer
%pe now scheduling their Florida
visit for this season of the year.
Long before most Florida com-
munities awoke to the fact that
summer promotion would pay off,
alert Daytona Beach began selling
itself as a summer resort Each
year it ,ias increasJ its summer
n'bsiness. Hundreds of new hotel',
motor courts have popped up like
mushrooms and still the area is
hard pressed to provide accommo-
dations for all who want to come.
Eastern and National 'airlines led
the way in selling Florida as a
summer resort. They popularized
"piggy bank" vacations and pack-
age deals that appealed to every-
one.
.Wroeyhound Lines and the "con-
ducted tour" people hopped on the
bandwagon and found the butcher,
baker and candlestick maker were
all prospects. Hotels and-resorts
that for years hliad made .a practice
of closing ea:h Sumrlieif began stay-
ing -open. Their faourd it paid .,f t'.
Rates were re-duced both for'trahs-
portation and hotel accomddations
but the steadily increasing volume
of business made it worthwhile.
Railroads finally' woke up and
are -now carrying th6ir share of
summer travelers and are adver-
tising for more.
Tloridahs summer convention
businesses boomed. The chance
to combine convention business
with a wide variety of sport and
entertainment, deep sea fishing,
,golf, swimming, boating and night-
clubbing while. enjoying the com-
fort and luxurious living afforded
by swank hotel and deluxe .motor
courts, made the convention bureau
maanager's job an easy one.
These conventioners, Shriners,
American Legion, Elks and count-
less others who came here in sum-
mer expecting to "roast to death"
found it so delightful they came
back again and again and brought


'their friends with them.
Taking cognizance of the poten-
tial possibilities of developing
more and more summer travel to
Florida, the Florida State Advertis-
ing Commission has been budget-
ing more and more for this type
of tourist promotion and has found
it money well spent. It will be able
to do an even better job now that
the appropriation has been in-
creased.,
Florida attractions people. Silver
Springs, Cypress Gardens and oth-
ers, have never didsc'iun;ed sum-
mer possibilities :.nd ';(vc- :"-n:uet-
ed selling campaigns the year
round, and their attendance records
reflect the wisdom of this action.
Florida's greatest tourist revenue
comes from motor tourists who
drive their own cars ot the state.
That.is why it is so important that
we provide adequate highway fa-
cilities. If turnpikes and toll high-
ways are the answer, the sooner
we provide them the better.
Floridians should keep ever in
mind that were it not for our tour-
ist business we would all be paying
a lot more taxes. Treat our visitors
kindldy, be courteous and helpful
when you can. Respect the visitor

Pate Attends A

Meeting of Shell
Dealers In Dothan
'Frank" Pate, Shell Service Sta-
tiop 4ealF, met nrith 9tther Shell
dealers: i Dotban, Ala., Monday
and heard the story of the research
behind TOP, a new gasoline addi-
tive described as "the greatest mo-
tor fuel development since the ip-
trguuption of Tetraetjkyl lead 31
ye,| ag".


The product, called TCP, is an
ingredient of Shell Oil Company's
premium gasoline being introduced
Tuesday, June 30th in Shell sta-
tions throughout the country before
the summer travel season reaches
its peak, Shell dealers were told
at this special meeting.
The new product gives the aver-
age car up to 15 per cent more
power, more mileage and 50 to 150
per cent longer life for spark plugs.
It restores old, badly operating
plugs to top performance and vir-
tually eliminates pre-ignition, a ser-
ibous type of knocking.
Originally it was believed that
nationwide distribution of TCP

would not be possible until the end tions when they were traveling on
of August. The Company there- the road.
fore introduced it late last month TCP is the first gasoline additive
in 16 large cities where blending to deliver improved engine oer-
equipment was available. Demand formance. without actually chang
has proved so great in these cities ing the characteristics of the gas-
that nationwide distribution has oline, the dealers were told. In-
been stepped up over 200 per cent stead, the chemical makes it pos-
by the addition of blending equip- sible for the engine to use the fuel
ment at more terminals and bulk more efficiently. It does, this, by
plants than originally planned, preventing the spark plug deposits
Many motorists in test cities from causing short-circuits and
have reported noticeable improve- consequent misfiring. It also has
meat in the performance of tneir

ilere today! At your Shell 'De.'s





Greatest Gasoline





Development


Years


TCP, *aIShell discovered additive, now

blended into Shell Premiumn' Gasoline, puts

an end to greatest cause of power loss.

Actually boosts power up to 15%, sparkplug

life up to 150%, by counteracting the deposits

on sparkplugs and in combustion chambers.


Though you may not realize it, the chances
are that your engine is delivering far less
than its original horsepower.
This is because, in the average engine,
deposits constantly build up on sparkplugs
and in combustion chambers. These de-
posits actually "short-circuit" your spark-
plugs causing them to misfire. They may
also cause pre-ignition of the combustion
mixture-resulting in severe knock. This
is especially true when accelerating, climb-
ing hills, or driving on the open highway.
This condition exists in the majority of
cars on the road today.
To overcome this condition, Shell Re-
search discovered a fuel additive, TCP.
Blended into Shell Premium Gasoline, TCP


stops the short-circuiting effects of the de-
posits on sparkplugs and controls pre-
ignition of the combustion mixture. This
means, for the average motorist, a power
boost of up to 15%, an increase in spark-
plug life of up to 150%, plus an increase in
gasoline mileage!
Shell Premium with TCP is the most
important advance in gasoline since the
discovery of tetraethyl lead in 1922.
New and old engines benefit
If you have a new car, particularly one with
a high-compression engine, Shell Premium
with TCP is essential if you want it to keep
on delivering its original power for the
normal life of the sparkplugs. But high-
compression or not, Shell Premium with


STCP keeps your engine working like new.
Owners of older cars also benefit. Even
if your car has gone 30,000 miles or more,
your engine can get back much of its
original power by the use of Shell Premium
with TCP.
Shell Premium with TCP quick to act
So rapidly does Shell Premium with TCP
counteract the deposits on sparkplugs and
in combustion chambers that you'll feel
your engine's had a tune-up before you've
finished the second tankful. You enjoy that
new car pep again.
NOW IN YOUR TOWN
but only at your Shell Dealer's
TCP was originally developed by Shell Re-
search for aviation fuels and until now has
been largely restricted to military aircraft.
Today, Shell-Premium with TCP is
available in this area, but only at Shell
Dealer Stations.

Legumes and Grasses Help

Saidy Lands Produce More


wis. Agr. Exp. Sta. Photo
SaFdy soils put to good use. Alfalfa on level land, forest cover
on slop'ng, stony soil, with intermediate strip of mediocre soil which
will be planted to conifers.


Crop yields on sandy land can
often be doubled or trebled
through better management, ac-
cording to A. R. Albert of Wis-
consin, in CROPS & SOILS. Sandy
soils suited to field crops range
from medium-textured sands to
fine sandy loams. Management
is much the same but crop yields
are higher on the heavier soils.
Wind erosion is a. perennial
hazard. A combination of unpro-
tected soil, drought conditions,
and a strong wind can result in
severe damage. Valuable new
seedings of legumes and grass-
es may be destroyed in this way.
However, good protection may be
obtained by establishing perma-
nent shelterbelts of trees at 40-
to 80-rod intervals or by growing
different crop in 6- to 10-rod
The first essential' of good soil
management oh sandy lands is
to grow well-adapted legumes
and legume-grass mixtures. Half
or m~nie of the plowable land on
every' sndy-sw'il farm should be
in forage crops.
Alfalfa is tA6 best all-around
forazge lium e for well-limed
sand.. oils with a 6-foot or low-
er v'irer ;aole Red clover can
thrive where the water table is up
to ; feet and Ladino and alsike
clovers qrq suitable for low-lying
sa:idI. All three clovers will tol-
erate mrnqerate soil acidity.
Sweetclqovqrfi an excellent soil-
;nprqving crop And can provide


emergency pasture for well-limed
soils.
. Another essential in sahdy soil
management is adequate ferti-
lization, especially with potas-
sium applied before planting or
while the crop is growing in the
field.
Organic matter helps to "bind"
sandy soils and gives them a
darker color and. water-holding
capacity. It-also provides food
for soil organisms and makes
commercial plant foods more
efficient. Since it is difficult to
accumulate organic matter in
regularly-cropped sandy soils, it
must be added regularly at the
lowest possible cost in the nor-
mal course of crop production
through the use of such materials
as animal manures, crop resi-
dues, green manure crops, peat,
sawdust,- garbage and 'Sewerage.
The principal advantage of
sandy soils-are (1),.they warm up
and dry off early in the spring so
can be worked earlier, (2) they
are easily tilled, (3) weeds can
be controlled with greater ease,
and (4) rainfall enters them read-
ily and seldom runs off. *
By protecting these soils from
erosion and by following a sound
program of soil management,
adequate fertilization and the
use of high-quality seed of
adapted varieties, farmers can
profit by the3e advantages more
fully and obtain 4 higher and
more stable income from their
sa idv soils.
