The Florida agriculturist., 1907-05-15

Of a winter lingering as though i
would fain sit in the lap of June
would have great effect if it drew hi:
attention to Florida, its climate anc
resources. A few months hence, wher
warm, settled weather has long pre-
vailed and the farmer, more hopeful
is losing the impressions made BY
this most unreasonable weather, anc
it will not be so easy to present 9
forceful contrast. There is no sucl
state bureau in existence now, but the
several communities which are making
Individual efforts in that direction
should make a note of the recent
weather in the agricultural states ur
north and proceed to ''do business. y
The foregoing is from the Times.
Union of the 7th inst, and the Agri-
culturist most unequivocally indorses
the sentiments expressed therein
They are both sensible and practical
and are in direct line with the policy
being pursued by this paper. While
we are in hearty accord with every
legitimate effort that may be made
to bring a desirable class of foreign
immigrants to Florida, we feel that
greater benefits can be secured by
expending our time and money in
this country. We believe that one
native Am'erican, or foreigner who
has been in the United States long
enough to become familiar with our
customs and assimilated with Our peo-
pie, and has accumulated enough to
acquire a home here, be it ever so
humble, is worth more to the State
than a dozen foreigners who have no
permanent interest in our affairs.
We also believe that the most ef-
fectlve literature than can be circulated d
for the promotion of immigration, is
a we'll known and reliable agricultural
and opportunities, but also points out
paper, that not only tells the home
seekers about Our great advantages
to him the best methods to adopt in
order that he may succeed when he
does come.
Thus believing, we have, from the
day we assumed charge Of the Agri-
culturist, been quietly and unosten-
tationsly, yet persistently and effective
ly, doing what we could to disseminate
truthful and reliable information re-
garding the State and its resources.
By extensive advertising in Northern
papers and magazines we are daily ex-
tending Our circulation and influence
throughout the country, as well as IN
Florida, and making the Agriculturist
one of the most important factors in
the States develoument.
In order that we may accomplish
still more in this direction we urge
every friend of the Agriculturist, or
OF Florida, to mail a copy of this
paper to some acquaintance who may
be interested in the State, or furnish
us the name OF such persons that we
may do So The seed thus sown can
not fail to yield large and satisfactory
returns.

having in his possession a knife. which
knife he held in his hand and with
which he threatened to do grave bOdi-
ly harm to the person of John Amen,
a bartender in the Eagle saloon.
According to Amen's story, Doe came
into the saloon early last evening and
after buying a few drinks, became
troublesome. Doe said Amen. and a
few other things distasteful to the bar
keep and trouble followed, the bar still
remaining between the two combat
ants. Suddenly John grew desperate
and pulled his weapon striking at
Amen several. times, but before any
grave bodily harm was inflicted upon
Amen. the police arrived and Doe de-
parted.
A search for the missing man is now
being carried on and it is believed that
he will be located before the night shift

CUSTOMERS.

Evidence of the coming holiday sea-

Of Walla Walla are putting forth every
effort to induce the crowds to visit
their overloaded bargain counters. Des-
pite the rumors of hard times hund-
vantage of fall reduction sales and daily
throngs of speculative peope may be
seen packing away armloads Of dry

The latest and one of the most novel
methods in advertising has been ad-
vanced by Manager Morgan of the Wal

terday his announcement that patrons
free hacks during the day resulted in
a large crowd visiting the establish

The result of yesterdays green tag
sale at Hanger & Thompson's big store
was equally encouraging and today
even a larger crowd is taking advan-
tage of the sacrifice sale.
There are many bargains in the
Golden Rule stock which is being sold
at bankrupt prices and crowds throng
the store.
Schwabacher's are offering special
prices particularly in shoes. and their
business shows the results of the
special effort
TOgs, offered by the Clark -Kirkman

being purchased by men looking for
the proper things in fall styles.
With these merchants offering such
special inducements it would seem that
now is the time to buy what you need

WOULD
TACKLE MINERS
NERVY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM OF
WAiTSBURG ANXIOUS TO
PLAY BUTTE.

While the Butte high school football
team is growing over it's great vic
tory with Spokane, a bunch of IL
husky farmers of Waitsburg is ayait-
ing patiently for a chance to wrestle
the honors from the miner boys ard
lay claim to the champion football team
of the Inland Empire.
1t may seem absurd to many follow
ers or The dope to think that the lit
tie town of Waitsburg could possibly
bat. 1t must be remembered however,
that stranger things have happened,
particularly in the foo ball world.
Furthermore such a game will un-
doubtedly be pulled off providing the
Waitsburg boys can. "come through"
with the expense, money.
The following letter from j. H. Nor
row, of the Waitsburg Commercial
club to the 10000 of Spokane, proves
that there are o.her portions of Walla
Walla capable of producing the right
spirit
I'VE note the discourteous and un-
fair treatment received by the Spokane
boys from the Butte people and Off
cials and are anxious to bring the
foo ball hOnors of the northwest back
to the state of Washington.
1--WE have here a bunch of farmers
in the Waitsburg high school. all bona
fde students. who have defeated every
thing in this part of the state and
Oregon; have never been scored
against average 156 pounds, well
coached play fast and great game
of ball; can beat Butte here for the
championship of the northwest.
Nov, we want the game. but are
doubtful if We can finance the ex-
pense of bringing the boys here, owing
to the small size of our town. We es-
tima.e the expenses at $500 and are
sure of $500 here, perhaps more. Can
you work up interest in the Inland
Empire sufficient to guarantee us $500
on expenses to defeat Butte we only
to use such part of your $500 as we
can not raise over the $500 guaran-
teed?"

THIRTY ACRES YIELDS $4,000.
Yakima Man Makes Fortune Raising
Potatoes.

YAKIMA, Nov. 21.-Thirty acres of
ground on the farm of Everett Cleve-
lard, in the Lower Naches valley,
yielded 740 tons of potatoes this year,
the average being "a tons to the acre.
This crop of potatoes from that field is
worth nearly $4,000. E. B. Hersom,
who rents the old Nelson place near
the Cleveland ranch. obtained this year
90 tons from less than three acres of
potatoes, over $500 worth to the acre
A prominent real estate dealer, who
chanced to pass the latter place the
other day when the potatoes were be-
ing sacked, remarked to a Republic re-
por,er today:
Big yields in any kind of produce
in this valley have ceased to excite me,
but stopped and asked some questions
about thiS field of spuds."

Judge Powers Puts Question
Of Insanity
SIMILAR TO THAW PROBLEM

THAT DEFENDANT HAD
STRUCK BROWN IN PRE-.
VIOUS QUARREL.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Mrs.
Bradley resumed the stand unIer cross
examna ton at 10 o'clock this morning.
The government brought out in course
of cross examination that at one time
during a quarrel Mrs Bradley had
struck Brown a blow across the face
with an umbrella, knocking out sew
eral teeth. She denied she ever threat
ened to blow Browns head off if he
refused 70 marry her.
AT the conclusion of the examination

>will appear Judge Powers hypOtheti-
cal question which is said to be even
longer than the one Delmas propounded
in the Thaw case.
Judge Powers followed the govern
ment who closed their cross exam
inatiOn early by putting in his hy-
pOthetical question upon which the in
sanity experts will base their replies.
Inc question: diners from tne question
filed in the Thaw case in construction
but it was very intricate and he paid
close attention to every detail 1t re-
lated the fact that Mrs. Bradley had
two insane auntS, that she had suffered
a blow on the head early in life, that
she was subject to sudden fits of ex-
altation and depression, possessed ex-
tremely strong maternal instincts, that
the revelation of Browns love for Mrs.
Adams unbalanced her reason.
This will be followed by the ques-
tiOns; assuming these to be facts,
could the defendant distinguish right
from wrong; was she mentally unbal-
was she inSane?"
