the corn belt" for there is no de-
sire to interfere with the growing OF
our greatest agricultural staple in
that broad section of the country
where corn has long been the princi-
pal standby OF the farmer. The new
plan OF the department Of agricul-
ture-for OF course that Is the branch
of our government machinery that has
charge OF this new activIty-is simply
in effect to make two blades OF grass
grow where only one grew before.
Although ali the world has been
gasping In astonlshment these many
years past al the bumper crops Of
corn this country turns out each year,
the experts of the government some
time since came to the conclusion
that great as was the national corn
yield il was not as big as it ought TO
be. Furthermore. they thought they
foresaw a time when, with our rapidly
growing population, the corn crop
would not be any too big for our own
American appetite and. of course, II
that came to pass we would lose more
or less OF our foreign trade, Tor a vast
quantity OF Yankee corn products now
ind their way to dinner tables over
seas
On the theory of a stitch In time
the agricultural sharps proceeded to
get busy over this impending prob
lem. First they set about increasing
the yield OF corn per acre and latterly
they have entered upon the even more
significant mission OF extending the
corn growing urea. As our readers
are aware most of the corn crop has
been grown heretofore in the middle

To Fight
,Mosquitoes-$50O.

There appears in the budget pro-
posed for the coming year an appro-
priation Of $500 with which TO fight the
mosquitoes in the city Of Pensacola.
This amount has not been decided as
yet and If the citizens win make a
protest against the appropriation OF
such an insignificant sum for such a
needed work there is no question that
the amount can be arranged to be
several times as large as 1t is pro-
posed.
The Journal has discussed this ques-
ton many times and it believes that %
persons in every 100 In the city would
have the nve hundred dollar appro-
priation increased to twice or three
times the amount. Five hundred dol
lars viii help some-no one doubts
this-but a paltry Eve hundred dollars
viii not serve the purpose for which
II is intended. and unless the work is
to be done thoroughly and the entire
city freed from this disease carrying
pest then 1t is a discrimination against
the parts OF the city not to be taken
care of, and 1t is not right that par
TALLY be shown to some certain sec
tons.
Unless the work is done thoroughly
and $500 won't enable II to be done
thoroughly-one or two breeding places
In the outskirts OF the city will breed
enough mosquitoes to fill the city.
The work of cleaning up should not
be handicapped, when such handicap
may mean hundreds of cases OF sick
ness, an expenditure OF thousands OF
dollars for doctors bills and suffering
which could be prevented.
Just as it is the duty or the city to
pave the streets. extend fire protec-
ton and sewerage facilities, it is-the
duty to free the city as far as possible
from mosquitoes. With the new sew
erage and with some more draining OF
the fiat sections Pensacola can be freed
from mosquitoes, and how any coun-
Gilman can be satisfied that such an
insignificant sum be used for this pur-
pose Is more than we can understand.
The health officers asked for one
Thousand dollars to do this work with.
They should be given this much and a
provision made for more IL It is found
that more is needed.
Even IL mosquitoes did not spread
fevers, the annoyance these pests
cause the residents is enough to re-
quire a larger appropriation, for I'VE
hundred dollars for the comfort OF
thirty or forty thousand people is
practically nothing.
Let every property owner make It a
point to ask that before the budget is
adopted more than Ave hundred dollars
be provided with which to carry on the
fight against the mosquitoes. 1t Is
possible to make Pensacola a city fret
from them and it is the duty of r.
city fathers to make the sppropria-
tions to carry the campaign to a sue.

The demand for this product is in
creasing continually during the winter
months. The most of this product
comes from Cuba, Bahamas and Ber-
muda. The crop should be grown more
in the extreme south, and like the egg
plant. requires plenty of fertilizer for
best results.
It is an excellent product to grow
in combination with other products
and can be utilized to great advan-
tage in this way.
Varieties.
The large, sweet varieties consist of
the Large Bell, or Bull Nose, Sweet
Mountain. hard and less pungent than
most other varieties. Sweet Mountain,
extra large, very productive and like
the Bell. popular market variety.
Italian, sweet, very mild in flavor, in
great demand in eastern states. The
County Fair variety has some advan-
tage over the others for home use and
the local market. Small Chill is among
the hot varieties. The Celestial is an
excellent variety, and also very re-
muneratiVe.
Any part of the state where it is
subject to frost, hot-beds and cold
frame should be used. If the location
is in a clay country, take one-fourth
clay, one-half vegetable mould and
one-fourth coarse sand. To this add
the necessary fertilizer to make the
soil of the hot-bed or cold-frame. To
test the sell in the hot-bed, wet 1t
down thoroughly and in two or three
hours II 1t is found that il can be
squeezed into a solid mass, it viii re-
Quire more sand. II otherwise, it does
not remain solid, but breaks up rapidly,
it viii be all right. II It is found that
the water drains quickly, and the soil
becomes dry to a depth OF one-half
inch in the course of q few hours. in
the sunshine or wiId, too much sand
has been used and requires a little
more clay. Make the rows about three
inches apart and drop the seed about
three to the inch. covering ito the
depth OF three-fcCrths Of an inch. Be
fore the seedlings begin to crowd each
other transplant them, about an inch
in the row ard the rows three inches
apart. II they should become spindling
in the bed, it is best to transplant
them in another bed. and plant them
three by three inches. II preferable
flower pots can be used with success.
It is best to SOW the seed from 90
to so days before the average time OF
the last frost. The seedlings come
along very rapidly if plenty of sun
shine and warm weather, and careful
attention of the grower. 1t is about
impossible to state the time required
for the seedlings to grow to proper
size to plant out. Ones own judgment
Is best.

moisture in the subsoil is excellent

court in rendering a decision in the
case where the price of ice was sud
denly raised last summer in the city
OF New York, when Ice was necessary.
and where there was much suffering
occasioned by the advance in the price
simply because some of the people
could not afford to pay the advanced
price.
At the time the price was raised it
appeared to be a really heinous crime.
Had the price been raised at the be-
ginning OF the summer It would not
have appeared so bad, but right in the
critical time when prostrations were
so common, when the summer was the
most severe. the makers OF ice boosted
the price very suddenly.
The unusual demand possibly occa-
stoned the advance in the price The
bly, being consumed and the trust Of
ncialg knew that the price could be
raised and they took advantage OF the
opportunity TO exact a higher price.

consumers to pay the price fixed by

man cannot understand what the
