St. Petersburg, Florida, the Sunshine City. Editor Advertiser: I am still in this beautiful city by the sea, having been here nearly two months. The Yankees are leaving by droves to their homes up North, but quite a number will remain for the summer. This is a live city. , I took a trip to Clear Water the other day, the. county site of Pinellis county, situated on the banks of the Gulf of Mexico, one of the prettiest towns I have seen, with a population of 5,000 people. It is forty miles from St.Petersburg and a great re sort for boating, fishing and bathing. It is a sight to stand on the beach and look at the rolling billows as they beat against the beach. One not be ing used to the waves would think that they were going to wash them off, but God has set a bound. Thus far they can come and nc further. From Clear Water or from the gulf on the west one can travel one hun dred and fifty miles east on a brick paved road without a jolt, and as far as the vision can reach from right to left, you see nothing but orange groves, just as you see cotton and corn fields in Carolina, and often you will see a grove from ten to forty acres laden with golden fruit. Gener ally the trees stand from fifteen to twenty feet apart, the limbs touch ing the ground. They range from sev en to ten feet high and almost as round as a ball. They are the pret tiest trees that grow in Florida. They are cultivated well, using the disc harrow thirteen and a half feet and go twice to the row every ten days. I was told that they could go over forty acres a day. You see no corn fields and very few truck farms here, nothing much but tropical fruits. This is their mon ey crop. The natives live mostly on loaf bread, rice and grits, as they call it, Irish and sweet potatoes. Beef, bacon and fish are their meats, and ar tesian and sulphur water their drink. Now, if you will listen, I will tell you a big fish story. I take it from the St. Petersburg Times: A king fish weighing more than 35 pounds leaped from the bay over the rail of the municipal pier, Wednesday after noon, landing in the middle of the pier, according to a Mr. 'Duley, 757 Fifth street, South, driving along the pier in his automobile saw the big fish in its 30-foot leap-from the water on to the pier. Its tail had been clipped off by a larger fish and was still bleeding when it landed on the pier, so said Mr. Duley. It is sup posed that a big shark was telling him good morning. Early in the season a king fish jumped on the .pier at the end, but Wednesday was the first time one jumped over the rail. Mr. Duley said he got the fish. Now, I did not see this fish, but the king fish is very game. I have seen them jump ten feet out of the water, but' not 30 on the pier. This statement I clip from the St. Petersburg Times, and I take Mr. Duley to be a truthful man, and you know that an editor never publishes anything but what is true. In my next I will try to give you a description of the Silver Spring and the Ochlamaha River. This is said to be' the most beautiful river in all Florida. The Spring is six miles from Ocala. One has to see this Spring and the Ochlamaha river to realize its power and appreciate its beauty. Mr. Editor, according to my think ing, the United States is the greatest republic on earth, and South Carolina is the best state in the union, and Edgefield is the best county in the state. I say this, not that I love Caesar less, but I love Rome more. J, RUSSELL WRIGHT. St. Petersburg, Fla. "Sub Rosa" Frats Are Being Investigated. Certain, students of the University of South Carolina face suspension," expulsion or other punishment at the hands of the university faculty as a result of the announcement made to the student body yesterday morning by President W. S. Currell to the ef fect that "drastic action" would be taken by the faculty against all stu dents found guilty of participating in the activities of Greek letter fra ternities during the current collegi ate year in violation of the state law. The faculty has begun a thorough investigation of the existence . of so called "sub rosa" fraternities at the institution. Dr. Currell's announce ment coming as the opening gun in the campaign. Punishment , which under the by-laws of the university ranges fronr admonition by an of ficial of the institution to public ex pulsion, will be meted out,.Dr. Cur rell said, to all students who have been initiated into fraternities dur ing the session and to all members of fraternities, even though they joined the fraternities at other in stitutions, who have in any way par- ' ticipated in fraternity activities on the university campus this year. A lighted . sentence was promised all students involved in case they should voluntarily confess their violation of the - anti-fraterhity regulations, 5 o'clock next Tuesday afternoon be ing fixed as the last hour in which such confessions would be accepted. All students guilty of violation of the rule during the session were ad I vised and urged to confess their wrongdoing, Dr. Currell said, adding that he did not desire to impose the "supreme penalty" unless forced to do so. Dr. Currell in his short address to the student body read letters from . the national officers of the four fra-] ternities suspected of having chap ters on the campus, stating that these " four had no. charter on the campus at present, the fraternities"! pledging their assistance in prevent ing the re-establishment of chapters until the law should be changed, two of the fraternities reported that their charters had not been held by any men on the campus this year.- j The State. . . Poultry Industry Paragraphs. The Poultry Industry is one of America's most important ' enterpris es, producing $1,250,000,000 in wealth annually. The Poultry industry supports many industries entirely and con tributes largely to the support of j others. Imports of eggs and egg products increased from $1,577,47- in 1914 to $16,268,293 in 1920 based on import value. It is setimated that over $600,000-1 000 worth of grain and grain prod ucts are consumed annually. Present estimated number of ma ture poultry, 300,000,000 head, j Estimated number of poultry rear ed in 1919 600,000,000 head, (see note.) . j Estimated number of eggs produc ed in 1919, 1,957,000,000 dozen, (see note.) Note : From estimates by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture. The poultry producing industry is nation-wide in its scope. For many years it was an. adjunct to general farming. No attention was paid to the cost of production of poultry and eggs, the housewife keeping a flock from which she derived certain mon ies when fowls produced a surplus He?ei?welco] all tim tssem ymi are m&dy ; new ?Bes, Bia the eaU <s? th; &edueti?n ' I ira 1S ^?nese splendid hig now available ai tl r s zz CORD I FAB S 3G?&? 33*4 RIDS;:;) on CQUE; ! 14.

For many years no account was kept of either the cost or amount of wealth pro duced. Poultry and eggs were then largely by-products. Poultry farming has now become an extensive and in tensive commercial industry which occupies the entire time of. skilled poultry men as their principal, or only source of income. The large grain growing section of the Middle West is the home of the farm flock which contributes ap proximately one-third of the poultry] and eggs produced in this country. In many sections North,South, East and West, large commercial poultry enterprises are developed. In many specially favored sections, due' to sources of food supply, marketing, and climatic conditions, the indus? ? try has developed to such a degree that it is the dominant industry of the region. One of these . regions, as an example, confined within a radius of less than eight miles, produced] and shipped in 1920 22,223,923 doz ens of eggs having a value to the far mer of over $11,000,000, and pr?r -duced and shipped over 2,000,00Q| head of poultry. Within this area are kept more than 2,000,000 hens. Farm & Ranch. R. F. Erwin Regarding His Troubles: "A year ago last winter I had an attack of indigestion followed by bi? iousness and constipation.
