FLORIDA CAN RAISE
IT'S OWN FLOUR

We clip the following article. inter
esting TO housekeepers as well as far
mers, from the Tampa Tribune:
One Of the most interesting exhibits
ever made at the Tampa Board OF
Trade rooms is there now. 1t consists
Of cans of -four and packages of orig
ina1 products manufactured by Col A
F. Spawn, now located at Kissimmee.
where he has installed a plant for TAX
ing care OF the Florida products when
the prices go down and ordinarily the
products go to waste
Among the manufactured products
are three f1ours. one made from the
dasheen. recently brought into promi-
nence in Florida by the federal gov
eminent in its experiments at Brooks
vile. Another -four is made from the
sweet potato and another from the
cassava plant.
The dasheen -four is a splendid dust,
containing great percentage of
gluten. Col Spawn has made only a
small amount of this -four. but the
yield was fifty-one pounds of -four
from 173 pounds of dasheens. One of
the exhibits is a portion Of a loaf OF
bread, made by a Kissimmee woman,
cont aiming equal parts of dasheen and
wheat -four. This is a well baked loaf,
well risen but with good weight, and
is deliciously favored. Cookies made
from the same mixture OF -four are also
exhibited and they are more delicious
| than the plain wheat cookies.
| The sweet potato -four is rather dry
| and needs mixing with either the
| dasheen or cassava -four to produce
good bread or cookie results. But for
! griddle cakes, it is declared by Col
| Spawn, the sweet potato -four is the
very thing. 1t is a splendid yielder
giving about four tons of -four to ESQ
bushels. the usual yield of an acre. II
/ is best TO have these potatoes intend
ed for -four raised on dry ground.
The cassava is the greatest flour
yielder of all. 1t gives seventy-five
to 100 pounds more to the ton of raw
product than even the sweet potato
and is a -four that will make excel
lent buildings, cakes. pie crust and
other pastries. and is especially adapt
ed to mixing with the sweet potato
-four.
ls In addition to these fiours, Colonel
Spawn, at his kissimmee plant, is
making dessicated cocoanut, evap-
Grated pumpkin, marmalades, jams, je1-
lies, canning tomatoes and preparing
to handle every Florida product in
some preserving manner.
1t is Col. Spawn's intention to es-
tablish factories like his own at Kis-
simmee, over all of the vegetable pro-
ducing section OF Florida so that
larger acreages can be planted and q
market assured. He is the man who
first introduced the various methods OF
serving bananas as meat bread AMI
drink, and tried the dasheen years age
in the Fiji Islands. He declares thai
| Florida has no reason to be dependent
upon the West for wheat bread wher
it has so many substitutes from which
flour as wholesome and more varied In
flavor can be manufactured a: home.

In our remarks In yesterdays paper
about the militia in the early days of
the republic we had reference to the
men who composed the militia and not
the weapons with which they were
armed. II we relied on the strong
support OF the militia today we would
no more arm them with flint and steel
muskets than they were then armed
with cross-bow and arrows.-Banner.
That we do rely ION the strong sup
port of the militia today is proven by
the speech OF every hayseed congress
man who throws a fit at any mention
OF an increase in the regular army:
said congressman invariably being a
loud claimant for every useless ex-
penditure of federal money for his
district. So far from supplying our
militia with up-to-date weapons, the
tendency Of today is to take from
them what they have. The militia. as
understood by the founders Of our
government, and designated by a
statute that has not been repealed
was composed of all able bodied men
between the ages of Is and As. Each
man was expected to provide his own
weapons and this force was a suf-
dcient defense for our new country a
hundred years ago. Our national
guard is later growth. composed OF
volunteer organizations, that, it is nc
exaggeratfon to say, exists in spite OF
almost every disbursement that car
be thrown in its way. 1t has q total
force of less than 10000 men. the ap-
propriations by Congress for It's main
tenance are niggardly and private In
dividuals show very little appreciation
Of the patriotic spirit of the men who
compose 1t. consistent revival OF
our militia would mean for every
able-bodied men in the country to buy
an up to-date rife, costing not less
than SIS, also ammunition enough te
keep him in fair practice with the
same, not less than $40 worth every
year. to take time enough from hi.
business to make himself proficient IL
craftsmanship and tactics, without al
acquaintance with which he would bt
worse than useless. Then he would
have to take at least a week OF twic.
year to attend circuit encampment
This would be only beginning of tn,
system OF keeping up nationa
militia. and IL the Banner thinks 1
would be practical, we hope 1t will be
gin work at once for its revival Sucl
system Is now IN successful opera
tion IN Switzerland. only the stat
furnishes arms and ammunition, Blu
that 1t could be carried out in thi
country Is very doubtful.
