Committees Success.

The committee which Mrs. Ball heads
has been IN existence five years, and
has been instrumental in getting flag
laws passed In thirty-two States. Dur
ing that time issues OF two magazines
were stopped at the borders of Massa-
chusetts and their covers removed be-
fore they were permitted to circulate
in the State, because the covers bore
pictures OF the flag over which were
printed the name of the publication.
The committee maintains that no
President ever lived who was worthy
of having his name printed on the flag,
much less a publication.

WOMENS DEPT,
VERY BRIGHT
GENERAL MANAGER OF FAIR AS
ISOLATION WAS BUSY YEsTER-
DAY ANSWERING LETTERS OF
lNQUiRY-ls UNUSUALLY EN-
THuSlASTlc OVER THIS FEA-
TURE.

Almost the entire day yesterday was
occupied by the force in the Office of
General Manager Lillard, Of the Inter
state Fair, in mailing letters to per-
sons who are interested in the woIn-
ans department of the fair. Mr.. LII
lard says that he has been besieged
recently with letters of inquiry about
this department Of the fair and It
seems that more interest lis being
taken in this feature this year than
ever before.
Mr.. Lillard says that the prospects
In this department are unusually
bright and that 1t is sure to be an UNI
precedented success. There will be
more and better prizes offered than
ever before, and 1T Is evident already
that more ladies will compete for the
various prizes than at any previous
fair held here.
Mr.. Lillard said to q representative
of The Journal that he was very much
pleased at the interest manifested in
this department, as he considered ii
one Of the most important adjancts Of
the fair. TN fact" said MIR. Ianard,
you know very well that I believe
that nothing can be a success unless
you get the women interested, and
when I get the women On my side ]
feel that I am all right" Mr.. Lilard
is unusually enthusiastic over the
prospects for the success of the wom-
ans department.

Mr.. o. L. Mizell, in charge of Brad
ford county's Farm Demonstration
Work, assisted the institute workers
first by emphasizing the value OF de-
monstration work and the interest the
trainers were taking in 1t, and after
wards the value and need of improved
machinery for better agriculture IN
the state Mr.. Mizell explained the
quickest method of removing stumps
which all agreed was one of the great
est obstacles to successful farming
found in Florida Mr.. N. S. Knight,
of Lake City, also assisted in the lee
lures and gave an excellent talk on
fertilizers, their adaptability and uses.
A. P. Spencer, of the University of
Florida, spoke on the agricultural edu-
cational work that is being offered to
the farmers Of the state, their sons and
daughters, and on forage crops, their
value and use and improved live stock
and producing hogs in Florida These
topics aroused considerable interest,
bringing out many questions from the
audience.
Attendance Good.
The attendance was good throughout
both days. In all, upwards of 500 peo-
pie attended. The usual picnic dinner
was served on the grounds and a spirit
of cooperation and interest prevailed.
Several farmers from Madison county
were present and made request Of the
institute workers to visit their section
at an early date. This county is req
aIizing that there is a better way to
farm than is generally practiced and
the farmers are anxious to get in touch
with these that their conditions may
be improved as has been made posi-
hIa nv s,1ch work in other counties.
The institute workers go to Brad
ford county on Friday, the 25th inst,
and have dates that will keep them
in the field pretty constantly during
the month Of September.

ton was. organized at the Blair school

TO COTTON MEN
FLORIDA INSTITUTE EXTENSION
STAFF SPEAK TO THE FARM
ERs OF HAMILTON COUNTY,
WHERE INSTITUTE Is FORMED.

How to Make Earning a Success and
Grow Less Cotton" was the main topic
of discussion at the Farmers Institute
meeting held at Blair school house
Hamilton county, Thursday and Friday
of last week The one crop system
has been so prevalent In that section
for such a long period of years that
the results are quite noticeable re-
garding worn out soils. Cotton crop
ping continuously on the same soil
brings about conditions ON the land
that are commonly spoken of as worn
out
This is only true in one sense and
can only be remedied by change in
the general system of farming. Large
growing cotton year after year until
the yield this year will not exceed $50
to 300 pounds per acre on the aver
age. Other crops such as corn, po-
tatoes and forage crops are neces-
sarily neglected because the farmers
are busy during the entire summer
with this long season crop that takes
all the time they have-not only their
own time, but also that of their fam
lily. While some diversihcation is
found the general practice is cot
ton as the main crop and the one that
receives the most attention.
To Overcome Difficulty.
How to overcome this difficulty was
the object of the Farmers Institute
meeting. The benefits derived from
diversifcation were emphasized more
than anything else during the two
days institute meeting. Forage crops
of various kinds were explained, not
only from the feeding standpoint, but
are very valuable in a rotation that
can be used and still grow some cot
ton. The soils of Hamilton county.

Urge Farmers to Hold

pointrnent of the committee to write,
in the name Of those present, a letter
to the president of the Farmers Union
and to officials of other cotton farmers
organizations, asking them to advise

The conference expressed the view
that thirteen cents was seemingly less

statistical condition.

us how to avoid the trouble in this
way: He advised us to place dozen

small hens egg, in the feed box, TAX

horse to eat less greedily, as he must
eat carefully to avoid biting on the

MANNER OF CONSTRUCTING
PRACTICAL SHEEP HURDLES
Great Objection More Use Devices
Their Liability Blowing Over


The great objection to the more gen.

their liability to blowing over. l sub
NIT illustrations of some that offer
less resistance or are better fortified
against the effects of the wind. writes
Richard H. Mitchell in the Country
Gentleman.
Fig. l, while not strictly a movable
hurdle, is, nevertheless, considered as
such, and is the one in most COM
mon use. can only give measure
ments from memory, but should say
that they were 10 feet long and s
feet high when set up. The figure
shown is made OF sawed stuff. but
they are more often made of split
saplings; the construction. however,
is precisely the same. Holes are made
with bar, and they are set end to
end and pinned together at the top.
These, like those supported on the A
crutch, form a perfectly straight fence,
which is not 30 proof against the force
of the wind as one built zig-zag or
worm fashion.

that are intended to be set up in this

probably last as long as the rest OF
the panel.
Fig. 6 shows an iron that l think
would be great help in clinching
the nails. A slot is cut in the end
of fat piece OF iron, so that It will
slip easily on the nail. and 1t is bev-
eled from the slot to either edge. By
slipping this on the nail, the end can
be bent over at more than a right
angle. The iron is then slipped back.
as shown in the illustration, and the
nail bent over and driven into the
wood, as shown to the right. For
fencing stacks and turning corners,
both ends of the panels would have
to be alike, instead of reversing, as
shown in the cut. If this fence should
prove reasonably windproof, 1t ought
to solve large problem in fence econ
omy. as very much less fence would
be needed If the fence could be
easily moved from place to place as
occasion demanded.

ferent. and 1t would weigh 40 pounds
more.
AS to manufacture, l should say, as
has already been suggested, that pret-
ty close to where they are to be used
would be the best place to make them,
as one freight on the material would
be saved. Machinery does not enter
very largely into their construction;
SO nothing could be saved in that
way. 1t ought not to require any
great skill to saw up boards and nail
them together, and also stretch wire
on them, II that form was desired.
In drawing these hurdles, l have
allowed the center uprights to come
down as far as the Others; in prac-
tice. 1t might be found better to make
them shorter especially II they were
to be set up on uneven ground. The
dagonals in Fig. 4, being on opposite
sides Of inch uprights, will of course
be an inch apart where they cross.

together in mailing, as it will make the

probably the best material for making
these. and 1t would undoubtedly last
enough longer to pay to have 1t dress

would be saved in freight to pay for
