WHAT SINGLE ACRE PRODUCED
It Is in West Florida and Facts Are
Authenticated.
Eighty-six Bushels of Corn, Twelve
of Cowpeas, and Twelve of
Peanuts This Year.

The value. from an agricultural stand
point. of one acre Of land in Florida is
well illustrated by the following from the
Chipley CFla) Verdict, and tells Of the
value Of scientific knowledge combined
with good. practical sense:
The corn contest in which gold prizes
were offered by A. D. Campbell for the
best yield on an acre Of ground, has DEM
onstrated that intensive farming pays,
and that a good living may be made on
a few acres planted. fortified. and cult
waited under proper conditions. We have
been informed Of one farmer only a few
miles from Chipley who raised and
gathered eighty-six bushels OF corn,
twelve bushels Of cowpeas, and twelve
bushels of peanuts from one acre Of
land this season. He will also get about
one and one-half tons Of good hay from
the same ground This is farming Of a
class worthy Of patternjng after"
Commenting upon the above the Pensa-
cola Journal says:
THE same result may be obtained from
at least Is per cent Of the land through
out West Florida There is no excuse
for any other result. The only cause for
failure lies either in ignorance or. apathy.
Let US hope that the educational facilities
now so freely offered will overcome the
former and that the dark shadow OF the
latter will be banished by the new light
which will come with a proper under
standing OF conditions and opportunities. -
When it is considered that this acre was
only used In cultivating ordinary field
crops and that no vegetables, such as are
raised in this section OF Florida for the
Northern markets, were produced, the re-
suits are still moro wonderful.
II that acre had been cultivated as
stated. in Duval County. for in
stance. the land would now be put in
vegetables and during January or Feb
ruary two or more crops would be-
harvested,

BANKERS MAY RETALIATE.
Suggestion that They May Withdraw
Support from Pennsy Bond Issue.

Support from Pennsy Bond Issue
The action OF the directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in deciding apparently
10 do their own financing without assist
ance from the bankers has given rise to
a belief that perhaps the latter may take
occasion TO demonstrate 10 the railroad
how indiscreet IS this plan.
Powerful underwriting syndicates are
a safeguard against the failure of new
security issues and they usually support
the market when necessary for the suo-
cessful fiotation Of new issues. The serv-
ices Of underwriters not having been en-
listed on this occasion. will support be
withdrawn at the critical moment TO
teach the railroads a lesson?
This question is causing some concern
among brokers. They recall that extern
sive offerings Of new capital have some
times in the past caused very serious de-
clines in the stocks concerned. Pennsyl-
vania, for example, sold down 70 within
a fraction of 10 in 1903. against a maxi
mum OF l57 in that year when the capital
stock was authorized TO be increased
from S251. 100000 to SlOO,0O0,0oO anG sS6,OOO
600 was issued.
Pennsylvania shares are quoted around
40, or II points lower than the maximum
in that year; therefore. II may be asked
