Is MONEY IN FORAGE CROPS

II am glad to see the Times so

of forage crops and the breeding of

greatest and surest of all profit-mak-
ers to Floridans ii they will only take
advantage of the wonderful natural
opportunities offered"
This statement was made today by
A. P. Stuckey of Ocala, who, in addi-
tion to being one of the most success
full business men of the state, owns
one of the largest and most product
i've farms in fertile Marion county.
He had recently demonstrated in a
thorough manner the common sense
of producing peavine, sorghum and
Natal hays in Florida.
Thanks to the combination of dis
honest commission men and the pre-
vailing low prices, lost $500 on my
watermelon and cantaloupe crops

have been produced on $50 acres. ]

total production of hay, which will not

Sides"
Mr.. Stuckey stated that seventy-five
or eighty fine heifers were being auc-
toned in Ocala today, and that these
would be placed on the farms of Ma
riOn county. Blooded bulls and heif-
ers, he declared, should at once be
brought into every county in Florida,
and particularly those in the southern
section. guaranteeing, source of
profit that would prove stable at all
times.

give even greater profit. Tampa

FLORIDA FARMERS MOVE FIRE.
QUENTLY

Washington, d. c., Oct An compil-
ing data for the last Federal census,
the enumerators asked every farmer
in Florida this question: How long
have you lived on the farm you now
occupy" This question was answer
ed by 1872 of the 5O,O16 farm opera
tors in this state. More than 5000
stated that they had occupied their
farms only one year or less; 10,S5S
from 2 to years; S,603 from 5 to 8
years and 14.71S 10 years and over.
The most restless class of people in
this state is the tenant who operates
his farm on share basis. These are
4,519 of these farmers in this state :;
4,266 of them made answer to the
query and their replies indicated that
1851 or about 90 per cent of them
moved ever year.

THE MORE WAR THE QUICKER
PEACE

Mr.. Orville Sunderson in commu-
nication to the New York World
says:
The quickest way to make peace is
to make more war Germany's plan
to give France knockout in the first
round and then deal with Russia with
an unbeaten army failed. Apparently
the kaiser's soldiers will soon be be-
hind their own forts on the defensive
On their own soil. From their own
strong positions they can put up on
their eastern and western frontiers a
prolonged resistance before they are
made helpless, in a military sense, by
privation and exhaustion. II is prob
able that the terms of the allies will
be so repugnant to the kaiser that
dynastic rather than national reasons
will compel him to extend his defense
beyond the reasonable limit. The loss
of prestige in the Fatherland which
will come with retreat from foreign
lands will cerate an internal force for
the kaiser to deal with. 1t may be-
come as strong and unrelenting as the
allies. 1t doubtless will be as power
full factor in forcing settlement.
Therefore he more war the better.
Let Italy come in on account of reck-
lessly strewn mines or for any other
reason. Let Roumania join with
Russia because the car is insinuating
or for better or worse causes. Let
the Greeks boost the servians, &c.
Because any and all of these military
movements to the north not only
weakens the defensive strength OF
Germany in a military way but in
crease the internal clamor for an end
of war. Anything which will cause
the kaiser to consent to terms of
peace this winter rather than give In
to the same terms one or two years
from now Is of course desirable.
Therefore the more military strength
which is flung against Germany at
once the better.
Even the Germans admit that in
the end the kaiser must lose. The
quicker he loses the better. Doubtless
Germany feels the same way about
things but cannot express her mind.
The longer the war the more torture
for the victims.
