BOOK FARMING
IS A BENEFIT
American Agriculturists Loses by
Too Extreme Independence and
Indiyidualism

OkIawaha, Fla, Feb. II. 1914.
Editor Star: If farming in the
United States were brought to the
same stage of efficiency as in Bel
gium, this country could more than
feed the whole world. The efficiency
that the farmer has attained in Bel
GUM may be understood when the
fact is taken into consideration that
that country has only II 600 square
miles Of territory and the state Of
Wisconsin 5000 In Belgium there
are 1915 600 people and in Wiscon-
sin 1855, 900 And Belgium feeds
all her people. This country has
spent hundreds Of millions for agri-
cultural schools, collegesE and expert
mental farms and the returns have
been ridiculously small. It comes
largely from the intense Individual
ism of the American farmer. He
generally lives to himself and dies 10
himself, unless he moves to town,
and dies there a year or two after he
retires.
All that the scientist can do for
the farmer is eagerly sought in Bel
gium, but here a good many farm
ers think that they have nothing to
learn AMI scorn the advice of a
scientifically educated farmer dem
onstrator.
A farmer was recently telling how
! he bought a new potato planter and
he worked over that planter for half
| day and could not get it to drop
| potatoes right. A student OF an ag-
ricultural college came along and
| fixed that planter in less than five
minutes. Meantime during his ex-
| perimenting the farmer had not only
| lost half day, but had planted two
acres so crooked that he did not gel
| half a crop on them. He estimated
| that if that student had been at his
house in the morning it would have
| saved him about twelve dollars.
The cotton and sugar planters Of
Louisiana have been awakened by
the farm demonstrators.

AV|ATORS HAVE
AMPH|B|OUS EYES
When High Up in the Air They Can
See Objects Far Down in
the Water

Pensacola, Feb. 13-Lieut Tow
ers. navy aviator, late yesterday
afternoon demonstrated the fact
that submarine mines planted in
narbors are discoverable from aero
planes at an elevation Of 1900 feet.
Five mines were planted at the en-
trance of the harbor here. The avia-
tor, in his daily experiments, report
ed the location o. the mines upon his
returning TO earth.
Later Lieut. Bellinger, without
knowledge OF the report Of his fell
low officer Or the fact that mines had
been placed, ascendei TO hight OF
1000 feet, at which elevation he not
only discovered the mines the sec
end time, but traced their chains to
each individual anchor.
Navy officers here attach great
Importance to those developments
in the use of the airships and claim
that they indicate the Importance OF
aviation and aviators in future wars.
The discovery Of these submarine
mines is explained by ayiators and
their brother officers in the fact
that at great nights the reflection
upon the water tends to make it
more transparent and of a highly
magnifying tendency.

CLEARED AWAY
THE CLOUDS
Conference in OcaIa Results in
Strengthening Out Most of the
Differences Between Shippers and
Express Companies.

Express Companies.
The special committee appointed
during yesterday forenoon TO confer
with the traffic officers of the express
company and formulate plans for
consideration at the general meeting
met at the Ocala House at / o'clock.
The meeting started by the re-
quest of the express people TO know
in what instance their new rates
were unsatisfactory.
Mr. Estees, representing the Bar
tow section in the meeting cited the
rates made him by the agent OF the
company at that point. These rates
were looked into by examining the
Ifates prescribed by the interstate
commerce commission, and 1t was
discovered that the agent quoting
the rates had not fully digested the
new tariffs and made rates according
to the old schedules, which allowed
the same charges on standard pack
ages on shipments of ten crates as it
did on one. The diff: :erence was
shown by the rate schedule to be SO
cents on single packages and SO
cents on shipments of ten, from that
point to New York.
Mr. E. L. Howell then asked for
the rates on canteloupes to New
York and Boston and was informed
that they were just as he had figur-
ed them out in a communication to
the Star a few days ago. He then
asked if it was not in the power OF
the express company under the re-
cent rates promulgated by the inter
state commerce commission to re-
duce the rates to those charged in
the past. A representative of the
company announced that it was, but
propose TO do this in one instance
and be compelled to charge the cut
rates made by the commission in
others.
Asaid, was what he wanted, as il
9eems that it has been claimed that
the company could not make such g
rate in the face of the recently en-
acted traffics.
Mr.. Hockaday. general manager
of the Southern Express Company
Atlanta, at this point arose and sai(
that under these circumstances HI
e.,
the shipment of this class of com
modify.
A resolution was offered by Mr.
A. G. T. Moore, secretary of tn
Gainesville board of trade. askin:
that the express company, with tn
consent of the commission, ALLOW
the use of the old rate on certain
vegetables which have already beel
planted, for a period of sixty days
This met the disapproval of tn
transportation people, they claiming
that it was absolutely unfair to then
in the face of the fact they woul
be compelled to accept the many re
ductions made by the powers.
Mr.. Moore presented a largel
signed petition from the farmers i
his community. asking for relief
They showed that at the rate aske
by the express company they coul
not ship any of their crops OF beet
now in the ground. as even with
favorable market the cost OF proiuC
tfon and shipment wo Id be a grea
deal more than they could hope I
receive. The petition represented
= large acreage of beets. which, at
very low estimate, was worth owe
twelve thousand dollars.
In order TO ascertain just what at
vanees or decreases had been mad
in the rates, Mr.. Lloyd Tenny. SEX

GOSSIP OF THE cENrR AL ASSOCIATION

Burlington, Iowa, April 9-The work
of training has begun with a number
of Central baseball association clubs,
and it may be said that the season in
this league has fairly started. 1t is
the hope of the wise leaders that the
weather will settle quickly, and that
the practice season will not be inter
rupted by prolonger rains and cold
snaps. If the players in this vicinity
can get two weeks of uninterrupted
practice they will be in the best con-
dition for pennant playing the league
has ever known. Four years ago
March was one of the most delightful
months of the spring of that season,
but when the boys had gathered for
their practice the weather became so
bad that not club save the Burling-
ton Pathfinders entered the pennant
contest with a real training. For two
years past heavy rains have fallen,
and sometimes the weather has been
quite cold, so that the training season

The Sox got as many hits as the
