land prairies, that cannot fail to act

ductlon OF corn, not oily in the
amount grown per acre, but the
grade. And if this contest shows,
as undoubtedly it will, that these
new lands will produce larger
amounts of the highest grade corn,
it is only reasonable to suppose that
the value of the farmers holding
will be increased thereby.
In glancing through the figures
of Mr.. Holmes, it is apparent that
improved methods and seed in corn
growing was responsible for the in
crease in value of corn lands as

directing the attorney general to aid

of the political subdivisions thereof,

DUSTRY SHOWS UP ESPECIAL
" WELL.

That Escambia county's agricultur-
past year and that the county is pro-
crossing rapidly toward the position
Of one Of the leading agricultural
counties of Florida, is evidenced in
the annual report Of w. N. J. Scott,
census enumerator for the agricultur-
al department of Florida. 1t has just
been made public, being adopted by
the county board Of commissioners
at Tuesday nights session of that
body. The report is exclusive of Pen
Sacola.
The report is very volumnious and
represents a solid year of constant
and faithful labor On the part of Mr..
Scott. 1t is regarded as being as near
ly complete as documents of this ma
ture can be made and Mr.. Scott is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends and officials who have ex-
amined the report thus far. It is an
especially commendable work, con-
sidering the physical disabilities Of its
author, which if borne by the MAORI
ty of men would be equivalent to an
CLOSE CANVASS MADE.
The document was compiled from
day to day as the figures and esti-
mates were gathered. This work was
accomplished by house to house or
rather q farm TIC farm canvass, by Mr..
Scott, who had no outside assistance.
The exact number OF the heads of
live stock, poultry. garden and field
crops and live stock and their esti-
mated value from each farm in each
civil district was procured and is
recorded in the report. The sum to-
tails were then worked out, which
are given in the accompanying -s.bje.
i. lie work was begun about One year
ago, when Mr. Scott was commission
ed by the state department of agricul-
ture as enumerator for Escaln bia
county. There have passed but few
days in which his labors have not
been carried on.
INTERESTING FACTS.
That facts of unusual interest not
only to the farming population of the
county bur to others as we'll, are set
out il, the tabulations of Mr.. SCOTS
report is borne out IN the document
itself. While the report is regarded
as being fiatte:ing III the extreme

ests, will serve to bring attention of

We made no examination Of the

POOR FARM.
We examined the poor farm and
find the management is good. and the
inmates are properly cared for and
have sufficient good and wholesome
food, and seem to be comfortable and
the sanitary conditions are as good as
possible. We find, however, that the
whole place presents dilapidated ap-
pearance: the fencing needs repairs,
and the roofing should be repaired.
We therefore recommend that such
improvements be made on the roofing
and fencing as are needed. and that
the building be whitewashed so as to
give the place presentable appear

clear and able charge which aided US
greatly in cur work, and we also wish
to thank all the other officers for their
courtesy to US and the help rendered
