The Florida Citizens Exchange Is
In danger OF dissolution. and con-
ventiOn on growers will be held In
Tampa on April Is to determine Its
fate. 1t Is greatly to be hoped that
the Exchange will receive sufficient
encouragement to warrant its con-
tinuance. This paper has not on all
occasions approved of the EXchang
methods. but it does believe in the
cooperative principle on which the
Exchange is based, and is not shaken
In that belief by mistakes of in
dividuals, to which all are liable.

in Spain, where he lived with a wo
man and with his daughter. A few
days before arriving in London he
had quarreled with another Russian,
who was MORALLY wounded by a re.

In an interview with the Russian
Ambassador, 1t seems that the name
he had been using. in Spain, and
which he gave on being arrested was
not his real one, Manasseina being
simply an alibi, but after comparing
the prisoner with photographs in
his possession, the Russian Ambassa-
dor recognized him as Elexis 1vano-

ton, corn culture, silo construction,
rations for different classes of ami
mails, gardening, small fruit farming
and many other useful educational fea-
lures of up-to-date farming.
This new feature, used for the first
time by the slope country, is bound
to have a beneficial effect upon agri-
culture in Morton and adjacent coun-
ties. None of the people who are here
can leave the school without learning

lures. Each one has tho opportunity
of submitting questions to the experts
in the various lines and thus receive
the benefit of the discussion which
these questions and answers will en-
gender.
Every farmer in the vicinity of Man.

who has an opportunity to gain this
useful knowledge at no cost to him
self would really be inviting failure
should he stay away when the latest
and best material is brought right
