BY the governor, attest:
H. CLAY CRAWFORD,
Secretary of state.

DR.. Boozer of Ocala is doubling his
premium offers to corn growers, and
the contestants at the next Marion
county fair will have fine chances of
winning gold and renown. One of the
offers is novel, and it declares that
500 will be paid in gold to the farm
er making the most corn on an acre
of Marion county soil, the same
amount to the boy making the record,
and an additional $50 for the boy, il
his corn crop is larger than that of
the man who wins first money. Among
other prizes that will be won at the
Marion county fair is one for the best
ten acres of velvet beans, second,
third and fourth prizes for velvet
beans, the prizes ranging from 500
to SO, offered by 2. C. Chambliss.
Corn and velvet beans are receiving
great deal of attention in Marion
county, and those who are in a posi-
ton to do so are encouraging the
planting of these crops in every posi-
Bile way. Keen competition is expect
ed for the fair prizes. Times-U Union

THE FISHING INDUSTRY

Editor Union: AS many OF
the editors of the east coast have re.
quested the views of the people in re.
gard to the fishing industry being de-
stroyed by the seines and small mesh
nets and asked a suggested remedy,
and being fisherman and having fol-
lowed that vocation for eleven years.
and having studied the habits of fish
very closely, would suggest a gener-
al state law forbidding the use of
seines only in May, June, July and
August of each year under a penalty
OF $3.50 fine and six months at hard la
Dor on the county roads.
1t is useless to fine the men for
SEEMING, for the dealers will paw the
fine and the men continue to violate
the law. But when they have to work
out a sentence on the county roads
they will not need a second term for
violating the law
No seine ought to be more than 800
yards long, or under three and a half
inch mesh. The same penalty should
be attached to the violating of the
law in regard to the length or using
less than three and half inch mesh.
The standard mesh for gill nets
should be not less than three and a
half inches after the webbing has
been shrunken
The fishermen now in the Indian
river are using 50O-yard seines, three
inch mesh and less, and are using
three-inch gill nets, thereby destroy
ing thousands of food fish that are
too small for market The only way
to stop the violation of fish and game
laws is to make the violators work
for the county at hard labor on its
roads. The dealers and fishermen
laugh at the fines.

It is very evident that Mr.. Hagy

"The Protection Of Fish,

"The Protection Of Fish"
To the Editor Ocala Banner:
l note in the Times-Union of Feb
ruary 18th suggestion from Mr..
Henry l.. Hagy of Sebastian, Fla.
We have too many laws now rela-
tive to catching fish; they are conflict
ing and unconstitutional Laws have
been passed and approved by our gov
errors that are totally inadequate to
cope with the question, for the sim
pie reason that they are drafted by
those who know nothing of the condi-
tions of the different sections.
You must remember we have 1900
miles of coast. and conditions on the
east coast are contrary to those Of
the west coast. A law that would be
beneficial to the east coast fishermen
would in all probability put the west
coast dealers out of business. do
know that the proposed law of Mr..
Hagy, closing all fish houses, with
the exception of the months OF May,
June, July and August, would abso-
lutely put those of the west coast out
of business, driving thousands of men
out Of employment and the laying idle
of millions of dollars worth of prop
erty. The proposed fishing months
are the worst of the year We want
to protect fish during spawning sea-
son. The laws now regulating size OF
mesh (11k-in. BARI is sufficient TO COW
er this; and this for gill nets We do
not want a fish sufficiently small to
go through 31a-in. stretch mesh.
There are laws regulating length Of
nets; $50 yards is the limit for one
net, and if the east coast fishermen
are using longer nets they are violat-
ing the law.

terms and is straightforward and to the
point In dealing with the several cond-
tions, Capabanca does not mince matters.
He raises several objections, any one OF
which may interfere with the match.
In the first place, Capablanca declines 10
play at the rate of twelve moves an hour,
which he declares TO be unprecedented.
The short play sessions of two and half
hours each also are Objectionable 10 him.

sent to an arrangement whereby the winner

Of DIR. Iasker's conditions, following in
each case with his reply. The following is
the text of the letter:
