SeasOnable Suggestions
On Seed Corn


last at this ii me il is highly i'm
portant that the attention OF all
farmers he directed TO The necessity
of looking now Tor a supply Of seed
corn for the next season.
IL YOU have a reasonably good
variety of corn on your own farm,
the place to look for seed in in YOUR
own field. but in case your neighbor
has a better strain OF corn than you
have, it would be Wise to beargain
with him to let Won 90 into his
field and select sufficient seed for
next years crop.
The seed corn test nextywinter or
early spring will be an operation
that you cannot afford to neglect,
but it will merely be a sad disap-
pointment il you depend upon Sc
Letting your seed corn from the Glib.
through the winter, since it will
merely reveal the fact that very
little il any of il is 6r for seed.
There are many things to take
into consideration in selecting seed
corn. These points concern not only
the ear ittelf but also the stalk up
on which it grows. hence another
reason for the desirability of select
ing seed corn from The field, before
the corn is cut.
Seed corn should be Sele cted in the
fall as it is coming to maturity.
Select we'll developed ears growing
upon well developed and vigorous
stalks, and OF the same maturity.
Mark them and allow them to ma
ture Do not select large ears from
stalks that have grown in hills by
themselves. that have beeen extreme
ly favored in the way of rich spots
or have been favoren in regard TO
moisture present, but prefer those
that have produced most heavily
when growing under average con.
ditions. Other things being equal,
select ears from short thick stalks
rather tan from tall slender ones, as
the latter are more likely to he
blown down. Never select an ear
that is extremely long of shank,
but rather select one of a medium
shank with the tip pointing down
ward at an angle of about As de-
grees. Prefer ears that do not have
gross, coarse, heavy husk.
Vitality of seed corn is greatly in
ured il not destroyed by severe
freezing while the grain contains a
large percentaSe Of moisture. This
reminds us OF the necessity not only
Ct selecting in the early fall but also
Of drying the ears carefully before
freezing weather.
This can be easily accomplished
ia many ways but perhaps no easier
or safer method could be suggested
than that Of tying several ears one
above the other IN loops ia a piece
OF binder twine. aud hanging the
whole row ia a well ventilated loll
or attic. Card must be taken 90
provide safety from rats and mice.
This careful selection OF seed cora
will do away with the necessity ni
testing the seed neNt spring. hul
that operation will then, in all pro
hahllllp. reveal more srai'k inc
facts.

few days We will largely dslfrmlu,

DoBSON SAYS BINGHAM
DELIBERATELY MISREPRESENTS

Editor Pensacola Journal:
The letter of Mr.. F. f. Bingham in
this mornings Journal is full of mis-
representations, and they are in re-
gard to matters about which he should
be fully informed.
No proposition of the commercial
association in regard to the municipal
docks ever contained any ten per cent
clause or recommendation. That prop
osition of Mr.. Harp's was never APP
proved by the president, the directors,
or the association.
Mr.. Bingham's letter misrepresents
the situation when it intimates that
the provision for bond trustees, or any
enlargement of their powers, was add
ed to the original municipal dock Or
dinance by Mr.. Jones. The ordinance
recommended by the commercial as
ISOLATION included every provision
safeguarding the issue contained in
the ordinance passed. 1t provided for
bond trustees and gave them the pow
ers and duties specified in the ordi-
nance passed.
The commercial association ordi-
nance, so far as essentials are con-
cerned, was adopted. The only changes
of any moment were to separate the
$500, 900 into two amounts and to
specify particularly that the board OF
bond trustees then existing should
serve, instead of that board should
be elected by the council, which really
hardly amounted to a change.
The commercial association took
the stand, from the first, that the
docks should be on city property, and
Mr.. Binghams intimation to the con-
trary, in the face of his own knowl-
edge, is another example of his DELHI
crate intention to mislead the people
for political purposes.
I am at a loss to understand how
giving the handling of the bonds to
the commission is going to give the
control of them to the commercial as
ISOLATION officers. The commission
will certainly be as Embossed as the
present bond trustees.
It seems to me that the difference
between the two charters is that the
Jones charter is for the good of the
officials and the Semmes charter for
the good of the people of the city of
Pensacola.
Very truly yours,
C. E. DOBSON,
President.

WHAT TO DO IN
CASE OF SMALLPOX
Florida Health Notes.



First of all report it to the state
board of health. If uncertain as to
whether it is smallpox. report it just
the same, and let the board send an
expert to settle the matter.
The care of the case should then be
given over to some one who has ha d
smallpox or who has been vaccinatel.
All persons exposed or likely to be ex-
posed should be promptly vaccinated,
and after vaccination takes any OF
them can see the case with perfect
safety-just as the physician himself
can see it with safety.
If you are afraid to get vaccinated,
Or for any other reason fail to do it.
and get smallpox, the board will take
the best care of you il can. It will
furnish you plain food, provided you
are INDECENT. 1t will give you medical
attention provided you ask for It, but
It is against the law to thrust medfca r
attention upon you. It will keep You
shut up in your own house, provided
you have one, or If you are in reach
OF a pest house 1t may send you to
that. It will also pacify the neighbors
the best it can, and endeavor to keep
them from doing you violence. All
this will the board do when you get
smallpox. Or. if you prefer, it will
keep you from having smallpox. with
out danger and without cost, just s
the physicians themselves keep from
getting it-this if you choose.

VOX POPULI.
MR.. BINGHAM SAYS
PLUMBERS ARE Experiment

Editor Pensa cola Journal.
In regard to the resolution sent to
the council by the plumbers, as re-
ported in The Journal of Thursday, l.
as a citizen, oppose the council taking
any action whatever. 1t was a piece
of impertinence for the plumbers to
offer any such resolution at the present
time.
In a quarrel between the plumbers,
a dozen or twenty men on one side;
and their late employers, three or four
men on the other side, the plumbers
seek to fix certain questions to be
propounded by one of their members,
the plumbing inspector, that may be
so arranged as to put every master
plumber out Of Business. These
plumbers have been here a long time
and have not thought of this measure
for the public good and they would
not think of them now were it not
they hope to put a crimp in their late
employers.
The council should drop this matter
entirely.
