The Defining of
Party Principles.

The Palatka News thinks that about
the most urgent need" Of the Florida
democracy is a platform Of principles
Speaking of the meeting of the state
executive committee in Jacksonville
next week, the News says:
BY some 1t is thought that the com
mittee will decide upon calling state
convention for the purpose Of defining
party principles-probably the most
urgent need of the FLORIDA democracy
The News Trusts such a convention
will be arranged for by the com
mittee.
The Journal was under the impress
sion that there were several things
of vastly more importance to Florida
Just now than the platform of "prin.
ciples" about which some OF our con.
temporaries have been talking SO
much,
But be that as it may, what par
ticular need will that platform supply?
What Is that urgent need? Wherein
have our legislators, our governor, or
our other officials in the state govern
ment misrepresented the people of
the state? What platform declaration
is required in order to secure different
or better results from our public SER
wants?
While our convention friends are
so continuously talking about the need
of party platform, we notice that
none of them has yet told us why a
platform Is either necessary or desir-
able. won't some of them please sup
ply the information?

BUILDING INSPECTOR JOHNSON
EXPLAINS HIS STATEMENTS
Pensacola, Fla, Jan. -, 1910.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. II, 1910.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
VIII you please do me the favor of
correcting the headlines in your pa
per OF even date, which read as fol.
lows: Building inspector said that
member of school board made err
roneous statement concerning ma
terial," which statement. in fact,
never entered my mind. What l did
say to your reporter was that Mr..
Hayes was mistaken as to our con-
versation." What l meant was that
he had simply made a mistake, and 1
was very much surprised to find
those headlines in The Journal this
morning, which, in my opinion. are
misleading and absolutely incorrect,
and in justice to myself and Mr..
Hayes also, please be kind enough
to correct the same.
Yours respectfully,

Over in Jacksonville Is a publication
called Flor1da's Financial and Indus
trial Record which styles itself AN
Unvarnished Tale of Florida as It Is
On Its cover page is map of Florida
or map of part of F1orida-upon
which that great section OF the state
lying between the Apalachicola and
Perdido rivers does not appear at sill.
This habit of cutting West Florida OF
of their maps is common one among
east coast enterprises. 1t may be all
right from the standpoint Of private
interest, but it is a practice entirely
out of keeping with fair journalism.

corn; and should go through this
picking out all of those ears that
are of the right size, shape and color
to make good seed. If one has a good
scoop shovel, this can be done in five
to eight hours. Out of the hundred
bushels, about eight or ten bushels
will probably pass the first inspec-
ton.
The first and primary requisite in
selecting seed corn is to select seed
that will terminate. Few people, ex.
cepting those who have given this
matter special consideration, realize
how imperfect Is the average run OF
at Pensacola, the corn exhibit was
Judged by an Illinois man, who was
thoroughly familiar with seed corn.
The highest award to any entry for
seed condition was nine points out
of a possible ten. At the last Ma
rion County Fair, where there were
probably over two hundred entries,
less than ten of the entries passed
perfect with regard to seed condition.
Special endeavors had been made by
all of these exhibitors to have their
corn perfect from the seed stand
point. But since so many failed in
this point, we see that the seed quail
ty of the corn must be often overlook
ed in making selections.
A selection of seed Is made from
the amount that has been separated
from the large pile. For this We OBJ.
serve the following points:
1. The cob must be perfectly sound
and free from all trace of milldew
stain, both at the butt and tip ends.
2. The kernels must be firmly fix
ed on the cob. If shrinkage has oc-
Cured. allowing the kernels to be-
come loose, it indicates imperfect u1a-
turity and hence inferior terminating
and growing qualities.
8. The kernels must be free from
all discolorations due to molds.
During January, when farm work
is not pressing, is the time when we
should test our seed corn; and SO
guard, as much as possible, against
seed failure when the rush of spring
work comes on. We should allow
about fifteen good, large ears for
every acre to be planted. The ears
may be distinguished by tying to each
numbered paper tag. Two wellde-
veloped kernels should be chosen
from each ear; one from near the
butt and one from near the tip. These
should be planted in a fiat, prepared
from a soap box or other small box.
BY planting these in consecutive or
der, we shall be able to determine
whether the germ in the corn from
each ear is alive or dead. In ten days
or two weeks the corn Id the fiat will
have sprouted; then by taking it up
in due order, we shall know which of
the ears gave dead seed, and so be

HOW TO MAKE
| A SUGAR CANE MILL
(By G.. X. McQuarrie. }

Icy ". n. Mc(luarrle.)
When farmer has been at the ex-
pense and trouble of raising crop
of sugar-cane, he wants to get the
most out of it he possibly can and
to that end he must have the best
appliances he can get for the pur-
pose.
The Cane Mill.
The first consideration is the mill.
lit should be of the most approved
style, and capable of getting at least
rs per cent of the juice from the cane.
There are several excellent makes on
the market, from a light one-horse
mill up. The size should be decided
by the amount of cane to grind, but it
never pays to get a small mill. The
three-rolIer vertical type gives the
best satisfaction.
The location of the mill should be
arranged high enough above the por-
ton of the evaporation to enable the
juice to be run by gravity in a small
pipe from the straining tub to the
evaporation. This saves time, and
gives a constant supply of juice for
the evaporation.
The Foundation of the Mill.
The mill must be set on a firm
foundation, and this foundation brac-
ed in such a way that it will be i'm
possible for the mill to move while
at work. The best foundation, under
ordinary conditions in this state, con-
sist of lightwood posts, not less than
fourteen inches in diameter and ten
feet long, set in the ground at least

Alabana's New
Jury Law.

Alabama has a new jury law, framed
by the Alabama Bar Association,
which went into effect the first OF the
year. and which is unquestionably a
vast improvement over the old law
and over Florida's present law. The
main feature of the law lies in the
fact that it knocks out what has so
long been known as the professional
juror" and it makes jury-packing a
thing of the past~--Tha Montgomery
Journal describes it's workings as fol
lows: 1850
The names of the jurors are drawn
from a box now and cannot be sum-
moned from the bystanders, as was
the case under the old law. Those
people who have always been seen
hanging around the court house of the
state and who were always on the
juries, have lost their occupation and
have to seek other pastures. Under
the new law, if a panel has been ex-
hausted, the court has to draw other
names from a box and the sheriff sum-
mons them to the service. Hereto
fore they could be caught right up in
the court house, but now the delay
must be had and the names drawn by
chance can only serve on juries.
The plan is not new. 1t has been
tried in several counties of the state,
notably Dallas, and it has been found
most satisfactory. The new law is re-
garded as a great advancement in the
jury system of the state, and it is
thought that 1t will meet all the diff
culties and remove all the objection
able features of the old law.
If this law works well in Alabama
and 1t ought to do so-Florida can
with profit adopt q similar law.

2so GALLONS or

Two hundred and eighty gallons OF
|disinfectant for the county court
house have been purchased for use
this month, or possibly for longer
period, and the entire amount has
been delivered. The bill carried an
allowance of sixty days to pay for the
stuff, and the board side-tracked the
bill for further consideration at the
Tuesday night meeting. This was an
other expense that the board saw with
anxious feelings, and when 1t was pre-

know from the county physician, who
was present, IL there we're not chemi-
