Forage Crops.


Mr.. Meharg says that the depart
ment is experimenting extensively
with forage crops in this state and is
meeting with success, and he says
there is no use for Florida farmers
buying corn and forage for their stock.
The clovers, he says, are not adapted
to the Florida soils, but the native
grass and the beggarweed make ex
cellent hay, and the cowpea is being
extensively cultivated and this is bet
ter than the native grass. Sorghum
Is one crop that is going to be used
all over the state in the near future.
This crop is fine for all kinds Of stock
and will grow on any lands and IN
any kinds of seasons. The rains do
not hurt 1t and the dry spells do not
have any i'll effect
Mr.. Meharg says the work in Flor
ida has been making satisfactory pro-
gress considering the time and means
given to the work and that the farm
ers are eager to cultivate the crops
under the direction of the government
experts. Some few, he says, did not
ia kea to the idea at first. but when 1t
was seen that larger yields were pos
sibIe they readily began to cooperate
with the department.
At this time there are thirteen coun-
ty agents working under Mr. Meharg
and the number will be increased
yearly until the entire state is covered.
Boys Corn Clubs.
Another feature of agricultural de-
veIopment encouraged by the agricul-
tural agents is the organization OF
boys corn clubs. This work was not
begun until late this season and CON
sequently is not as thorough. o~gan
lied as 1t will be next year. but in the
thirteen counties where the work is
being carried on there are some 1900

Combating the Boil WeeviI.

Special attention is given to instruct
ing the farmers how to combat with
the boil weeviL for this will be a
problem in Florida next season. The
weevil is already at the Perdido river,
and will be in Escambia county this
season. The agricultural officials say
that the weevil will not be a serious
problem this season, but that next
year unless the farmers understand
growing cotton in despite of the weevil
that the cotton crop will come up slim.
This must not be discouraging, said
the officials, for when properly culti-
waited cotton can be successfully
grown with the boil weevil in the
land.

AGRICULTURAL
AGENTS TELL
Of THE WORK
II. e. SAVELY AND A. S. MEHARG
TELL OF THE WORK BEING
DONE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE AND HOW 1T
BENEFITS THE FARMERS.

H. E. Savely, Of Washington, D. c.,
field agent for the Eastern states, and
A. S. Meharg, Of Live Oak, special
agent for Florida, both of the United
States Agricultural Department, ar
rived in Pensacola yesterday morning
and spent the day at the San Carlos
hotel. They are en- route to Canton
ment to see Mr.. McQuarrie, who is in
charge Of the agricultural cooperative
demonstration work for Escambia
county. When seen by Journal rep
resentative last night they gave out
some interesting information regard
ing the work in which they are en-
gagged.
This work under the government
has been carried on in Florida for only
two years and in that short time many
improvements can be noticed in the
communities where the work has been
carried on. All kinds of crops are
being cultivated under the instruc-
ton of the government officials and
increased yields are apparent. For an
example the corn yields have in many
cases been doubled and the end is
not yet In sight. The average yield for
an acre Of corn under the old way
of cultivation has varied from eight
to fifteen bushels per acre, and accord
ing to Mr.. Meharg the crops Of corn
cultivated under the instruction Of the
government agricultural officials the
yield last year averaged from twenty
to fifty bushels to the acre, and in
some instances the yield reached sew
enty bushels.

Essex County Court.

Court re-convened last Monday morn
ing and at once proceeded to the con-
sideration of the Dodge homicide case,
which is at the present time occupying
the attention of the whole of the New
England States. The details of the
crime caused such wide spread COM
ment at the time it was committed that
it is unnecessary to repeat them here.
1t is sufficient to say that at the time
the state was not able to show motive
as applied to Mrs. Dodge and she has
since been released on bail up to the
opening of this term of county court.
The business of the court was dis
posed of with dispatch and by 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning the jury was com.

The representatives of the state ii
charge of the case dispensed with ar
outline of the case to the court and jury

Miriam Brooke Henderson

Miriam Brooke, only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas NJ. Henderson, and
granddaughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Reeve of this place, died at the city hos
pltal in Boston Thursday, April 81,
from scarlet fever. Seldom have the
sympathies of the friends of those be-
reaved of dear ones been more deeply
drawn upon, or more warmly extended
than is now the case in her death
She was little more than three years
and four months old, and an unusually
winning and attractive child and her
death leaves a vacancy nothing can fill
in the hearts of those who had come to
know and love her during her extended
visits TO her grandparents here. To the
entire household she was truly an angel
of light and joy and it is indeed pathetic
to think of what her loss will mean to
her parents and to each and every one
of her relatives.
In this hour of darkness the old
neighbors and friends of the family are
united in their desire that the Heavenly
Father will give to the sore stricken
hearts that Divine peace and comfort
which is our only help in time of need
The funeral was held in East Hatley,
Que, Sunday, April 80.

Against the Rainy Day.


Frum immemorial time the wise have
admonished the foolish to lay up some
thing against the rainy day." Now
comes forward the new thought move
ment, or something of the sort, and ad-
monishes the foolish not even to think
about the rainy day. If you think
about It, says the new thought seer,
that will bring the rainy day. which
really doesn't exist, you know. This
calls to mind that excellent joke about
the fellow from the backwoods who
visited a menagerie and looked long
and critically at giraffe. Finally he
remarked: Huh! The amt no SIGH
animal"
Despite the new thoughters, II Is
Just as wise now as 1t ever was to lay
up against the rainy day. The United
States government, realizing this fact,
has established the postal savings
bank system, by means of which mil
lions of persons who heretofore have
spent their incomes to the final far
thing will lay up rainy day money in
future. A piece Of real estate makes
an excellent rainy day investment. A
few dollars a month put into the buy
ing of lot or few acres Of land will
mean in time the ownership Of a
home, the cessation Of rent paying and
the solid satisfaction of knowing that
you no longer are slave to landlords.
Latterly we have been hearing a
great deal Of talk similar to the sort
mentioned. There are persons who In
sist that disease does not exist and
that pain is merely mental condition.
Let one of these persons have boil on
the back of his neck and his mental
condition will be altered to conform to
the boil. He will discover that boil
is real entity and pain physical con,
dition. The world is progressing rap
idly, but we still have considerable
number of old fashioned things which
like the poor. are always with us. The
proverbial rainy day is one thing
which, If not always with US, is about
as certain as death and taxes.

The condition of Mr.. Bishop, who
suffered relapse shortly after his re
turn from the hospital improved steadi-
ly up to last Wednesday when he had a
second relapse and for a time it was
very doubtful if he would live through
the day. He, however, responded we'll
to treatment, and since that time has
improved so much as to be in no
immediate danger. His condition
was so serious as to render the
presence of his sons necessary and they
are all here. At the present time
nothing definite can be said as to the
final outcome of this new aspect of the
case.

threw it well. He made what is called

Then it was Dougal MacDonald's s

such a splendid throw did he make
that the pat lid was knocked off and
