The hay crop of the United States
ranks third in value of the staple
crops. The southern states produce
only about five per cent of this total
Yet our southern states can produce
hay In large quantities If proper meth
DDS are used. The grass crop of Flor
ida Is one that deserves careful con-
sideration, though 1t usually receives
the least attention of any. As grass
can be grown on a large proportion of
the total area of our cultivated lands,
an increase Of the yield of hay from
these lands will do much to increase
our agricultural prosperity. A point
worthy Of consideration is the small
amount OF labor for raising a grass
crop, and making 1t into hay.
The farmers and truckers of Florida
are fortunate in having a grass that
comes as volunteer in their fields
after the spring crops are harvested
/ refer to crabgrasI, which when cut
at the proper stage makes hay superior
In every way to the timothy hay
brought in from northern states and
sold on the local markets today for
$50 and upward per ton.
Preparing the Land.
On lands that have been in cultiva-
difficulty in getting very large yields
of crabgrass hay, but we must pre-
pare the land so that the mower may
do effective work at haying time
Where cucumbers, cantaloupes and
watermelons have been grown, a good
plan is to rake off the useless and de-
cayed vines and burn them to prevent
the spreading of diseases which occur
when they are allowed to rot on the
field. The unstable crop left on the
field should be fed to stock or de-
stroyed. Everything should be cleaned
up thoroughly. The spread of fungus
and bacterial diseases in late years has
been traced to carelessness in not de-
stroying the remnants of diseased
crops in the fields at the close of the
shipping season. These remarks ap-
ply to all crops Of this class, in which
are included cabbage, lettuce, toma
toes, beans and Irish potatoes.
After the land is thoroughly cleared
up, a disk harrow should be used to

would turn them and they'd swim
back, out of range even of hope. Sew
eral times, while we lay waiting. ducks
flew by in easy range and tempted us
to break our silence, but with greedi-
ness that was, am afraid, slightly
unsportsman-l like, we let the single
shots go by, in the hope of doing much
slaughter with few shots when we
should have the ducks before us. on
the water, punched and unsuspecting.
We lay on that soggy little island,
not speaking except in thin whispers,
never moving, hardly breathing, watch
ing the duck feed and play, listening
to their prattle and quacking, until it
was maddening, until the sun was
among the treetops, and the ducks
were not an inch nearer than when we
crawled to our hiding place. Finally
we decided that to wait longer would
be useless and that our best chance
for shooting lay in padding steadily
upstream; there was. the slight chance
ing within range, and, if we should
not have this good luck. we could flush
them and after they had doubled back,
shoot them as they went past on their
way downstream. We held to this
plan, and though we could never get
near enough to shoot them on the wa
ter, we flushed them In small f1ocks
and shots on the wing came often
enough to make It interesting for us

For the most part, after we left our
blind, the ducks flew wild and the
greater part of our shooting was at
long range, after the on coming duck,
seeing us in open water had wheeled
off to right or left and were flying like
the wind across or down the timber
line on either side of the creek This
Is hard shooting and resulted not only
in a large number of misses, but in

SOME Of THE
INSTITUTIONS
Of MARIANNA
FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT,
THIS HUSTLING LITTLE CITY
COMPARES FAVoRABLY WITH
ANY TOWN OF ITS POPULATION.

From an industrial and commercial
standpoint, the thriving, hustling,
busting little city OF Mariana stands
out prominent as a shining example
Of what may be accomplished when
its citizens are imbued with the proper
spirit Of progressiveness and deter
mination, and it occupies today a con-
spicuous and envtable position in the
business world, considering it's popu-
lation. This may be easily realized
when you think of the activity which
must necessarily exist in a town of
3,100 inhabitants, which does an an
nual business of more than two million
dollars.
This is Marianna's record, based
upon actual figures furnished by the
Board of Trade OF the city and the
figures show that the annual amount
of business is increasing each year.
Banks.
The banks of Mariana, Of which
there are two, represent capital
stock of $S5,000.00, while the deposits
in them are many times this amount,
both Of them being considered among
the most stable institutions in the
state.

two squirrels just before reaching the
end of our journey, which made our
bag for the trip. one turkey, eighteen
ducks, ten Of them mallards, thirty
five or forty doves, four snipes and
two squirrels.
We arrived at THE Nest at about
8 o'clock in the afternoon and, save
cooking supper, spent the balance Of
the day in total and much relished
idleness.
Not the least remarkable feature IF
our outing on the creek was the fish
ing. That fish should bite freely in
the spring of the year is to be expect
ed, but in our creek, in perfectly clear
water and at the dead Of winter (as
Florida winters go) they bit with a
rapidity that 1 have never seen sur
passed and seldom equaled.
Fine Fishing.
'Pardner" did all the fishing for the
outfit. 1 usually accompanied him, but
fishing has small charm for me, If in
competition with it is the prospect Of
shooting. From one to two hours late
each afternoon we spent on the creek;
"Pardner'' fishing while 1 padded the
boat and shot doves as they came in
for water. Our programme each af-
ternoon was practically UNMARRIED. We
would drop down stream about a hun
bred yards, and, where the water, two
or three feet deep, ran easily upon a
short moss bottom, we threw out a
net-wire minnow trap, baited with
cornbread; in five or ten minutes
"Pardner' would draw in the trap,
containing usually about a pint and a
half of silver sided bottom minnnows;
then staying the boat upon the edge of
a moss bank, against a stump or any
obstacle that was convenient, he'd be-
gin fishing. casting his bait to such
places as struck his fancy and. appar-
emily, without any rule for choosing
them. During all the time that
watched him fishing l am sure his line
never remained undisturbed in the
water as long as one minute at a time,
The fish bit continually. Occasionally
very small fish would annoy him; at
such times he would cast to another
spot, or perhaps we would let the boat
drift a. few yards, and find the fish,

and II possible, the land rolled so as
to pack the soil for q larger root
growth. The land should be left as
level as possible to enable the mower
and hay rake to do good work. All our
corn fields will yield good crops of

thousands Of tons OF hay are allowed
to go to waste every year in our corn
fields. owing to bad methods OF corn
culture. The corn crop should be cul-

The cost of preparing the land as
already indicated need not exceed one
dollar an acre and when fertilizer is

dollars more. When we consider that
we can reasonably expect from ton

CRAB GRASS HAY

almost equal the value of the corn
crop. In the northern section of our
state, good hay crops can be had on
oat, rye or barley stubble by dislxing
the land and applying a top dressing
of four hundred pounds of a fertilizer
high in ammonia and phosphoric acid,
working it into the soil, and harrow
ing and leveling the land afterwards.
Time to Cut.
Crabgrass makes the best hay when
cut just after the first bloom appears
and before the second forms. The nu-
triment is we'll distributed throughout
the plant at that time. If allowed to
become nearly mature the stems will
be too woody to be easily digested.

is much superior to the Shipped in

market. When our farmers undertake
to grow hay for our local markets they
are adding to the prosperity of our

the state for hay is kept at home and
