MAKE MEN BLUSH?

Rochester, Pa, July 23.-
The ''honest and respectable
men who blushed when they
saw the transparent costumes
of the women" according to
the chairman of the Rochester
city council, will very likely
be spared further bushes, for
the council is expected to
meet within few days and
pass an ordinance prohibiting
the wearing of slashed skirts,
transparent hose, short
sleeves and tight fitting
dresses.
II has developed that a pre-
vious attempt has been made
to pass such a law. but there
was a deadlock in the coun-
ell.
mo one has been bold
enough to say, however, who
voted against the measure.

sweet potatoes grown to supply even
the home demand all the year round
Two crops Of Irish potatoes can be
grown in all parts of the state, a
spring and a fall crop, and by careful
harvesting and proper methods of
housing. the one crop can be made to
run into the other, thus giving us a
continuous table supply for the whole
year.
Sorghum is another good farm crop
1t can be used as forage to great ad-
vantage. both in the dry state and in
the green stage for hog and cattle
feed. II the crop is planted early, two
and in some cases three cuttings can
be had in one season. Sorghum mixed
with corn makes the best silage ma
terial that the farmer can use.
Sugar cane is one of the best money
makers of the whole list of farm crops.
It is an easily grown crop and is suit
able to all sections of the state, and
when manufactured ipto a high grade
syrup the returns in hard cash per
acre are very satisfactory. Yields of

and winter cover crop, and if the
rust proof variety is used, a very sat

pected.
Barley is another good farm crop
for winter cover crop and for winter
pasturage, and where clay prevails in
the soil it will if planted in late Oc-
tober give better results than oats.
Rye is a general favorite for cover
crop purposes, but as grain pro-
ducer, the results are not equal to oats
or barley.
Forage Crops.
The variety of our forage crops and
the quantities than can be produced
per acre in this state exceeds any
other section of the country that we
know of. and when live stock are kept
on the farm and the forage crops fed
to them and the resulting manure put
back on the land, we are adopting
the highest type OF agriculture which
will result in q more permanent i'm

brought about by any other method.

Uncle Sans wide domain, and con-
steering the fact that millions OF dol
lars are sent out of the state yearly
for dairy products, the future Of the
dairy industry in this state is very
bright, as dairy feeds can be grown
in great abundance and variety on
every farm. The dairying side of
farming can be conducted as profit
able in Florida as in any Of the what
is known as dairy states.
Pastures.
On all we'll arranged farms there
should be a few acres of pastures. In
our state Bermuda grass has been
found the most satisfactory so far.
Bermuda, however, is somewhat az
fected with winter frost and turns
somewhat brown in color, but at the
same time stock relish it. A good plan
to get an an-year- round pasture is to
disk Bermuda sod in September and
sow Burr clover on it, sowing the
seed in the burr. This refers specially
to the heavier soils. The Burr clover
will provide a winter pasture and be-

the pasture proposition has been en-

the live stock side Of agriculture has

when our farmers realize the great
benefit to be had from live stock pro-
duction, this pasture proposition will
get as much attention as the other
branches OF agriculture, because the

round in Florida is not by any means
an insolvable one.

and live stock in proportion to the
farms ability TO produce feeds for

"cash Crops"
Every farmer should grow soneaerop
or crops that can be turned into ready
cash so as to have money available
for general expenses, to pay for
labor, fertilized. and any incidentals.
This crop shuld be along the line of
what is most suitable for his soil his

crop production. In the fruit and
trucking sections Strawberries cab

tatoes, cantaloupes. and watermelons,

same remark holds true regarding
dairy products for which there is an
unlimited demand all the year round

Farm Crops.
Among the list of farm crops proper,
the corn crop should get the most
prominence, as it is a crop that is
suitable for all sections of the state,
provided the variety best adapted to
the section in view is grown, due care
being necessary to get the best seed
for this purpose.
Sweet potatoes are also in excellent
farm crop and can be grown to good
advantage in all parts Of the state

their production, and the careful
banking of the crop when harvested,

All students of economic conditions
in Florida must realize the fact that
future prosperity and wealth of the
state must come from its agriculture.
The sawmill nd turpentine still, which
were really the pioneers Of progressive
asri culture viii in a few more years
be things OF the past, and in the years
dents in the life history Of the state.
And considering the fact that there
are no mineral resources in the state
TO fall back upon, except few pflos-
phate beds, which are confined to
small area. we can easily see the cor
rectness of our opening proposition.
The truck and fruit industry Of the
state must always hold a very prom
inent position towards its upbuilding,
prosperity and wealth. But it is the
the crops in general use, and keeps
plenty of live stock on his farm, who
will in the coming years bring our
fair state to that degree of prosperity
second to none in the union.
The truck and citrus business of the
state is to large extent OF an un-
certain character, owing to the liability
OF being injured by severe winter
freezes and late spring srosts. AS wit
Eessed by the freeze Of 1S94-5 and 1899
when some citrus groves of the state
were almost wiped out OF existence.
ard every spring the truck growers
meet with more or less losses from
late frosts. This. coupled with nncer-
tain returns and transportation diff
culties, make the trucking in dustry

OF the scores of men that are not.

that general farming conducted along
the lines of diversification OF crops

sponsive to proper treatment. the di-
