Letter From Florida.
0- J WEST WSITES OF THE HEAVY
IfiEEZE ASD THE OOUNTEY-
fort Meyers, Fla., Jan. 22, 1910
Editor Garber Sentinel:
In order tbat the people in and
and around Garber may have a little
news as to what is doing in Florida,
especially tbat pertaining to the
Everglade country, I will appreciate it
if you will publish this letter.
Florida, aa most of you know, ex-
perienced one of the worst "fretzea"the
latter part of December and tirst of
January in the history of the state.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
worth of fruit and vegetables actually
killed. We were fortunate however m
not having any of our potatoes up, so
it did not affect us In the least. \V e
were somewhat uneasy a* to what
effect the frost had on the lands south
and east of Lake Okeechobee The
next day after the freeze Mr.II. Sewell
started for the lake as be has an
elegant banana grove up there and ;s
trucking on a large scale and naturally
was much interested. Some of the
old truckerB arouud Ft. Meyers told
him that everything was froze up there
as well as all other parts of Florida
aud Mr. Sewell offered to bet any one
a hundred dollars that the tenderest ot
vegetation was unharmed. They all
knew that he was right and would not
bet him. Mr.Sewell made the trip and
to prove that there was not the slight-
est trace of frost brought down on his
boat a large banana tree with a line
bunch of bananas hanging on it (the
tree was exactly nine months old).
Peppers, cabbage, tomatoeB, turnips,
potatoes, celery, cucumbers, water
melons, onions, lettuce and in tact
everything in the line of vegetables
and fruit were unharmed.
In order to prove Mr. Sewei's state-
ment one of the largest cowds ever
assembled on Everglade Soil went up
to the lake on Jan. 10th. They were
business and professional men, a con-
gressman and about a dozen farmers.
All made speeches aud predicted great
things for the Everglades.
A few days later, Dr. Ire E.McCarty
a dentist from Enid,Frank Wilkins an
ex-city councilman of Enid,Dr. Wilkins
of Covington, the Stewarts and Hun-
kers from Drummond, aud Mr. Flxten
a farmer from Garfield county aud
myself made the trip iu a launch and
met the big crowd coming back. The
lake was quite rough on that day aud
at lunch time we all ate quite heartily.
Dr. Ira McCarty was somewhat indes-
posed but thought it was on account
of eating too much cheese but Dr.
Wilkins diagnosed his case J as one
of sea-sickness.
The next morning we spent several
hours looking over the Sewell farm
and I asked Mr. I'ixteu what he
thought of it and he remarked that it
was the finest that he had ever seen.
Now when yon stop to think tbat on
this land net a pound of feritlizer is
used or needed [and all Florida froze
up except the land just south and east
of Lake Okeechobee does it not mean
a future for the Everglades?
The drainage is going on as fast as
money and dredges can do the work
and in a week or bo I will give you a
letter as to how the work is progress-
ing. Yours truely,
C. J. WEST.

DENTON C CROWL, THE
PORTRAYALIST
At Garber, Saturday, February 12th
l'ortrayalist Is a word coined to des-
cribe Mr. Crowl's work. It means an
exact reproductien of ^another man's
lecture, using the same voice, gestures
language, thought and expression.
This conception is original and
and unique—to think our children will
be able to hear the missages and heart
stories of Sam P. Jones, although Mr,
Jones is gone! Mr. Jones' stories that
burned into the hearts of men and
made them as gentle and as kind as
children—yes those same stories will
pass oji through the lips of Mr. Growl
doing untold good in the cause of up-
lifting humanity.
Mr, Crowl has also added a splendid
portrayal of Father Vaughan, the
great dramatic orator, which is said to
be the most wonderful production of
of its kind on the platform. Mr.Crowl s
voice like tbat of Father Vaughan
possesses wonderful power.
Do you think such men as Father
Vaughan and the late Rev. Sam Jones
would authorize Mr. Crowl to use their
productions, and grant him alone the
absolute and exclusive privilege if
they did not know he would bear hor -
or to their name and reputation ?
Would they dare?

Grind more grain with less power than any mill made
The Massachusetts Agricultural Chemist after a series
of experiments says:
"The composition of the cob is similar to the corn
stalk, and the relative large percentage of thesoluble con-
stituents place corn cobs equal in the point of nutrive value
to potatoes and many grains."
The analysis of chemists and experience of practical
farmers all over the country show a saving of 20 to 50 per
cent by feeding ground feed.

AMERICAN FENCE
What makes a good fence? Should it have wire hard as flint
made with the highest carbon the same as the makers of American
fence put into its piano wire ? Or should it be a soft wire such
as they put into their weaving wire that is sold to manufacturers of
wire cloth? Neither—it should be a medium wire that many
years' experience has shown to be exactly right for the purpose.
The American Steel & Wire Co. makes every kind of wire that
is used, beginning with its own mines, through its own furnaces and
steel and wire mills and they know what is the right kind of steel
to use for a fence. Trust their judgment.
Should a good fence have a rigid stay? No
—we believe in the hinged joint that is strong,
flexible, yielding to pressure like a spring bed
and snapping back again to its place. Flexibility
is its life. A pneumatic tire on a bicycle
is more durable than a solid tire for this
reason. American fence is made of large wires
q thoroughly galvanized and proof against weather.
