THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1919. 0 "HE WILL MAKE HER WIDERNESS LIKE EDEN Continued from Fase Seven) four cropn a crop of legumes for the enrichment and building: up nls land; in addition to the fertilizing from his iinimals, and the commercial fertilizers titled. Of the latter, any where frcm two hundred to. two thousand :ounds to the acre are need, depending oa the crop to be planted. Before feitillzlnff, . lime is freely used to remove all sourness from the soil. ABkd If the f ertllizing was not a very expei.lve operation, he declared: "Yes. it is cur chief item of cost, but it pays." Asked -further if such in tensive wiwrklag of the land did not tend to wear it out, he declared: "No, If properly worked, the, land Improves all the time: for it is built up, and as It is thui built up produces; better paying crops." , . Dome of the Farm's Features. Near thi farm residence . Is an ex tensive po wer house, electric plant and water works, surmounted with. a tank of ftty-fr ' thousand gallon capacity. It ewts fern cents a week, with two and a hat: hour's work of the .pump, to fill ihi tank and supply the farm with water. A machine shed fifty feet long shelters all the farm machines not actually in use. - Among- these is a thirty horse power Lauson tractor, which is used to do all the heavy flowing". A cattle barn one hundred feet tjQTsare, and another one thirty by eighty fee': are soon to be built, be sides other buildings. Behind the power hoi se stands a big silo; and there are the forms for two more; wbil still another Is in contempla tion. Idea! Hog Pastures and Dip. 3. prominent feature of Interest, as ftvell as of profit to the management, Js the seri is of hog pastures, equipped with eelf feeders and watering foun tains constructed afr the manager's town designs; a large oil-dipping vat where the hogs dally, at their pleasure. Secure the x own insurance against all Insect pests; as well as the special house for brood sows, and the so tailed "maternity hospital," where scientific treatment is given to any bog requiring veterinary attention. Of -course, all the" pigs are inoculated tgalnst th i ravages of cholera. Five hundred little pigs are expected to come as additions to the farm popu lation ere long. All the swine' are of the Red Jersey variety, which is the pecially favored breed on this pros perous farm. The few Jerseys in the cattle her3 are soon t) be gathered out, and con kiderable additions made, all of the Hereford utraln, which are regarded at Rlchlaxd as the hardiest and best grazers known, good beef producers, and the test general purpose cattle. Corn As Good As Iowa. One hundred thirty acres of corn, much of i: from eight to twelve feet tall, with ears as high in the air as the height of the average man, is a sight that looks good to anybody in West Florida or any state in the south. . Richland has Jit. A corn binding machine is being - purchased for the speedy and efficient harvest ing of this crop. Some of. it will find its .way to the silos. . , -r Truck Farm Gold Mint. The truck farm has already shed its crop of seven - acres of Irish potatoes for the early market, . as well as its English peas and -strawberries. ,' The rather small ; patch , of cucumbers is yielding ' at the rate of - a thousand dollars an acre. Few people in the south are- able to raiae genuine sweet corn, ; but here is the Evergreen va riety in abundance. Okra, watermel ons, cantaloupes, snap beans and but ter beans, onions, beets, , peppers, cab bages, tomatoes, egg-plant ; and Cali fornia field peas are. flourishing crops right now, promising rich returns from the Pensacola market, visited daily by the farm truck with its freshly gath ered supply. .-. f . . - A. young orchard, set out last year, is growing nicely, and contains peach. pecan, persimmons, pear, plum, orange, apple and grapefruit trees, promising much for the future. .The various parts of the farm, as well as the entire boundary line, are marked with woven wire fence of the most substantial sort. Four brood mares and four mules furnish the live horse power required to carry on th work, which demands the service now of . ten men and at certain seasons of the year as high as twenty men. .The stumping of so large a tract Is a problem .of Interest in this sec tion, where tractors and the best mod ern money-making farm machinery are useless because of the abound ing stumps. The stumps have been cleared from the Richland Farms partly by the use of stump pullers, partly by burning and partly by cut ting them out, negro labor being used, and the average cost of removal being fifteen cents a stump. Personnel of Management. The owner of this magnificent en terprise is Mr.; J. E. Baars, the well known lumberman, of Pensacola. The resident manager of the farm is Mr. E. Kaselack, and the two men operate the enterprise on a profit-sharing ba sis. Mr. Kaselack states that the total investment by Mr. Baars, in cluding the original purchase of the land, clearing,, stumping, building, equipping, fertilizing, stocking, labor and every item to date, has been in the neighborhood of seventy thousand dollars. While this is a larger sum than most people can contemplate, it Is not larger than many men could well negotiate; and when it is con sidered that Mr. Baars is in a fair way to enjoy the full return of his investment in the short space of three or four years, it becomes decidedly Interesting. ' Mr. Kaselack states that when he decided to locate here and began look ing for a man to capitalize the enter prise, he found in Mr. Baars not only the man with the means, but also with exactly the right ideas to permit the accomplishment of his farm dream and he found that Mr. Baars was at the same time searching for a man with the right ideals and capacity to run the enterprise. He states that from the moment they - first discussed the project : in Mr.- Baars office in the American National Bank building, to the. . present, date, they have perfectly agreed as to the methods to be used in general and . in detail. Secrets of Success. Mr. Kaselack states that the main reason , some men do not succeed in this section "at 'farming is that they do not .read. ,He declares it as nec essary for a farmer as for a doctor or a lawyer to keep abreast of all the latest thought of . his day, in order to succeed.. In spite of the large re sponsibility he has .to bear in direct ing such an. enterprise, Mr. Kaselack finds the time and the pleasure to carefully -read five or six of the lead ing agricultural papers regularly. He is a persuasive speaker, and has "par ticipated In'.conventipns, as well as in business clubs, of which he is a mem ber. He. Is enthusiastic In promoting plans for better cooperation in buying and. selling. ' . ' ' Mr. Kaselack stresses the vital im portance of selecting the crop for which the land is adapted. He says it is impossible on much of the land of "West Florida to raise general crops, but is positive that the very land which is of no value for most crops is ideal for certain ones. The sweet potato, especially, he regards as the crop for such lands In this section. It is hard to imagine what better proof could be desired of the rich agricultural " possibilities of West Florida, especially Escambia county, than the actual success of ' the Rich land Farms in two years, and the people of this section surely are fer vent in the hope that the story of that success, as here related, may Inspire new zeal in the people of the entire section, and induce many capitalists and many practical farmers to put I their talents together for the develop ment of the territory, the enriching of their own bank accounts and the better service of the world with food products low bo greatly needed.

What would mother do without her hot water bottle, fountain syringe or rub ber gloves? What would baby do without its nipples and its tubes and its rubber toys? What would man do without the various rub ber items for his comfort and the doctor and the nurse with the thousand and one rubber needs for the sick room and the comfort of the convalescent? I carry a complete line of rubber goods, in cluding practically everything that home, hospital, nursery, or in dividual could want. All of the very finest quality, all are guaran teed as such, all are fairly priced because price is based on value and service as well as quality. If there is anything in rubber goods you want, give me the opportunity to supply it. It will be to your advantage. HAMILTON RUSSELL, F. D.

CCew Tork, June "IT1 The cotton market showed renewed strength early today and new high records were es tablished owing to continued rains In the south and bullish crop reports. The opening was firm, at an advance of 20 to 80 points, -with October con tracts selling up to 34.42 and Decem ber, to 34.00 right after the call,' or about 60 to 70 points net higher. Three private crop reports "were Issued, all of which Indicated a condition of below 70 with the figures ranging from 69.3 to 69.9 compared With last year's government report of 85.8 and the ten-year average of 80.3. After celling up to 34.42 for October and 34.80 for December or about 60 to 70 points net higher the market turned easier under realizing for over the week-end and a feeling that low condition figures had been discounted. Another private crop report making the condition 71.6 was a factor on the reaction of about 50 to 75 points from the top, but the market steadied at 83.65 for October and showed ral lies of 20 to 35 points around mid day.
