A SUCCESSION OF CROPS.

Florida offers to her Industrious farm
ers two, yes, three or four, opportuni-
ties-money crops at a time when her
products bring the best prices, and food
and forage crops later in the season.
The principal money crops may be
planted and grown mostly in the winter
and shipped to Northern markets.; then
after they are harvested vegetables for
family use and feed for the stock may be
grown.
It is not uncommon in this State to
follow one vegetable crop after another,
beginning in the early fall, until three or
four have been grown in succession, and
then take off a good forage crop for the
stock But we will confne ourselves to
two-crop system which is the least that
that is considered here at all.
After the strawberry season is over
and shipments cease to be profitable
which covers several months usually
upland rice may be drilled in every other
space and crop of fifteen or twenty
bushels secured. Even though there be
no rice mill near to clean it, this grain
in the rough is excellent feed for stock
and poultry.
After Irish potatoes and other early
vegetables have been removed the land
they have occupied may be plowed again
and planted in sweet potatoes or cas-
sava. The former may easily be made
to produce $50 to 200 bushels per acre
and the latter $50, worth at least 25
cents bushel as feed for COWS or other
stock, and much more if marketed.
Either of these succulent roots will add
greatly to the production of milk and
will supplement the winter pasture.
Then an especially successful summer
crop is the cowpea, which is one of the
sheet anchors of Florida farming, not
only for feed but for it's great benefit to
the soil While nearly all other vege-
tables may succumb in midsummer this
old standby fourishes and will yield for
the table a most palatable dish OF string
or shelled "beans."
Other rotative crops might be men
toned, but these are probably sufficient
for the present writing. AS matter of
fact there is scarcely a day in the year
when something of value may not be
growing in our Florida sand.

johnson Is Champion.

Tommy Burns, world s champion
heavyweight, was beaten in II rounds
at Sydney, Australia, by big black Jack
johnson, from Texas.
Burns was scarcely match for the
negro. He weighed 16S pounds and
Johnson 1872. The difference in weight
was big factor with the fighters
Johnson outboxed his man, hit harder
aad was cleverer.
The promoters made money. Burns
was paid $4,000 and johnson $4,000
The money was handed to both men in
the ring. By agreement Burns re-
ceived the big pile, win, lose or draw.
The receipts from the Johnson-Burns
fight aggregated $4,000. This amount
is more than twice over the greatest
ever taken in for a single prizefght. OF
this sum Burns received $4,000 and
johnson $500, including $4,000 for his
training and travelling expenses. The
French Canadian adheres to the decision
he made prior to meeting Johnson, thai
it would be his last fight despite the re
suit. He says he has made 100000
during his fighting career and that thii
is enough to keep him from want.

TAFT PLANS NEW BUREAU.
President Elect is Perfecting Regula-
tions for Handling Big Concerns.

President-elect Taft has under con-
sideration a new plan for regulation of
big concerns which will make the inter
state commerce commission less impor-
tant and the bureau of corporations
more powerful.
He would secure legislation creating
a new bureau under the department of
justice, the chief duty of which will
be the preparation and prosecution of
cases involving the violation of inter
state commerce laws. Under his plan
the bureau of corporations will take up
a good deal of the work now done by
the interstate commerce commission.
Railroads are the most important of
the business concerns engaged in in
terstate trade, Mr.. Taft believes, and
as such should be handled by the bu-
reau of corporations instead of being
treated in class apart. The interstate
commerce commission, if the future
president s plans are carried out, will
still investigate rates, tariffs and other
technical railroad subjects, but will
cease to exercise its present executive
powers. Secretary Strauss, who is an
enthusiastic advocate of the plan, be-
lieves the idea will work out admir-
ably.

FRANCE WORLDS BANKER.
Wealth of People Estimated at Forty
five Billion Dollars.

Although general trade conditions in
France suffered in 1905 largely because
of the reduction in American demand,
figures submitted by NJ. Leroy-Deau-
lieau and other statisticians demon
strate the imposing fact of France s
financial position and her right to the
title of "the world s banker" France 5
fortune is growing steadily as the result
Of an annual saving of one billion dol
lars, much of which must seek invest
ment abroad.
NJ. LeroyDeaulieau s figures show
that France now receives $1,000, 900
as annual income from foreign holdings.
He estimates the present wealth of the
French people at $4,000, 900, 000-or
more than s1100 for every man, woman
and child-and as the estimate is based
upon declared succession taxes it is ad-
mittedly much below the real figures.

New Worlds Amatenr.

New York.-Malcolm Maloney of the
Trinity Athletic club of Brooklyn, a
newcomer in athletics, established a
new world s amateur record for the full
Marathon distance of 26 miles 3s,
yards in a race from Rye on the Sound
to Columbus Circle, this city, Saturday
Maloney ran away from a field OF
lis contestants, finishing in fairly good
condition. His time, hours SO min
utes 90 1-5 seconds, is far ahead of all
previous amateur records. J. f. Crow

who won the Yonkers Marathon race
last Thanksgiving, finished second in
hours As minutes ~ is seconds, and j

comparison of Maloney's time Sat
urday and that made by Dorando and
Tom Longboat in their professional
race over the same distance in Madison
Square garden within the last five
weeks stamps the newcomer as a world
beater at the long distance running
game.
In beating Hayes, Dorando covered
the distance indoors in 2;45:05 2-5, and
Longboat, when he defeated Dorando
over the same track, was timed 2;45:2s

Friends of Castro Out.

Acting President Gomez has taken
drastic steps to suppress friends and
supporters of Castro.
In order to check any possible rebel
lion on behalf of the overthrown exec
utive, Gomez, it is said, is having
every prominent sympathizer with Cas-
tro placed under arrest. The jails are
thus being filed to overlooking with
political prisoners.
The leading followers of Castro, it is
said, will be deported as further pre-
caution against a revolutionary out
break. 1t is believed here that ener-
getic measures of Gomez will prevent
any possibility of an uprising.
All of the soldiers in the Venezuelan
army who sympathize with Castro have
been discharged and the ranks have
been filed with supporters of Gomez.
