A DOUBTFUL IMPROVEMENT

That modern baking machinery has
taken the place of the old negro IMAM
N.Y." the cook. in most Southern homes,
and that corn bread and biscuits have
lost their prestige of the early days,
was in the declaration made by c. E.
Sears of Dallas, Tex. one of the dele
gates to the convention of bakers in
Kansas City this week.
The bakery has superseded the ne
gro in pastry at least, said Mr.. Sears.
He declared that Southerners now eat
bakers Bread bakers cinnamon rolls
and bakers French bread. He says
that the South has learned that corn
bread and biscuits are injurious to the
digestion.
The Star takes exception to Mr.. Sears
A right smart of the bakers bread We
go up against nowadays resembles
nothing so much as waspnests. and we
have DR.. Wiley's word for it that alum
enters largely into the composition of
many baking powders. To put these
innovations in the same list with the
biscuit. homemade bread. hoecake and
corn pone most of US old boys were
brought up on betrays pitiful ignorance
in Mr.. Sears.

An INvALAUBLE INSTITUTION

The average farmer. truck grower or
stock raiser in Florida does not realize
how much valuable advice and help on
knotty problems that he can secure
just for the asking from the Florida
Experimental Station at Gainesville.
The experts or specialists in the differ
ent departments are always willing and
anxious TO help the farmer. Send
letter to them, stating what you want
to know. and they will write fully on
the subject or come to see you and
give practical help right on the ground
The experts have taken good deal
of interest in and around Ocala for the
past few years simply because the far
mers of this section have given them
the opportunity advise them They
often speak of OcaIa and quote the re-
suits of experiments made near here
in their bulletins.
Prof J. " Scott. of the department
OF animal industry of the experimental
station. was in Ocala this week He
went out over the chambliss and other
stock farms and reported the stock in
fine shape. He was much gratified to
see the improved conditions of the
stock and offered some valuable sug-
gestions and in return said he was
much Dpnente0 Dy the VISIT. Professor
Scott Is a thoroughly posted man in
his line. and is anxious at any time to
fmpart this knowledge.

sUMTER's COUNTY SEAT

The people Of Sumter will soon hold
q primary to decide on a location for
their county seat. There are half a
dozen places contesting for the honor.
among them Sumterville Ohe present
location), oxford, Wildwood, Coleman
and Webster.
It looks to casual observer like
Sumtervile will lose. The hardest OBJ
lection, as rule, in moving a county
seat is the property invested at the old
location This does not hold good in
the present case. as the county has
never had very much invested at Sum-
terville. and that little is gone. The
people of Sumter lost their old court
house and jail by fire some years ago,
have been holding court in temporary
quarters ever since, and last week the
temporary Jail was burned. If Sum-
ter county ever intends to remove it's
county seat to a more accessible loca-
ton, it seems to the Star that now is
the time The editor of the Star has
never visited Sumterville. 1t requires
too long to go there and to get away.
1t is on little branch road and there
are no hotel accommodations there.
Members OF the bar and court Off
Gals who have to go there complain
bitterly of its inaccessibility.
Friends of Wildwood are advocating
its advantages very strongly. Some
of these advantages are substantial
and not< to be overlooked either by
citizens of Sumter, or of other coun-
ties having business in Sumter. Wild
wood is a good-sized place. 1t is a
live and growing town. Its citizens
pull together and do things. It has a
railroad agent and operator on duty
night and day. It has mail coming in
and going out on the night trains and
day and night telegraph service. 1t
is the only one of the candidate towns
on two railroads, being located on the
main line of the Seaboard and the ter
minus OF the Leesburg branch, and a
traveller can get in or out with con-
venience day or night. While Wild
wood is not in the center of the coun-
ty, 1t is not far from it. and is said to
be almost the exact center of popu-
lation. The friends of Wildwood are
working hard for its interests, and if
they do not win they will come very
near 1t. These friends feel that if they
are in the second primary, they will
win with hands down The way Nc
Rainey, Gamble, Fleece, Nichols and a
are working, makes it look like they
will have enough votes in the frs,
round.
