PRESIDENTS r-rc"s~T
ALMOST FINISHED

Washin eton, Nov % President
Wilson is putting the final touches
on his annual message to Congress
and expects to finish it not later
than tomorrow as he wishes TO spend
Thanksgiving Day as free from bust
ness responsibilities as possible
From the highest authority II is un-
derstood that preparedness and rev.
enue will be the dominant features
of the annual message. The presi-
dent is expected particularly to urge
upon Congress the necessity Of
adopting the Garrison army plan
without alteration, as he is con-
WINGED that any tinkering by legis-
lative theorists would hurt more
than 1t would help. How to provide
money to carry out the defense pro-
gram is also worrying the admins
tration considerably.

THREE CROPS IN ONE
YEAR ON SAME LAND

Miami, Nov. 23 3-Three crops of
foodStuffs on one piece of land in
about eleven months, sounds like a
Hight OF the Imagination, and il is
probable that there are few places
on the globe where this could be
done-but it remained for a grower
on the Florida Everglades soil to
harvest one crop of potatoes, and
two crops of corn from a piece of
land on the Hillsborough canal at
| Glade Crest.
Thi. grower, J. W. Bissell, plant
ed a plot of his upper EVERGLADES
soil TO potatoes last December, 4. ,ing
about six to eight collars worth of
fertilizer per acre. After harvest
ing the potatoes he planted the land
to corn and produced ninety bushels
to the acre, remarkable yield for
the ccrn belt but not unusual for
this land.
Mr.. Bissell took seed from his
crop Of corn and planted it in the
ground where the parent crop was
raised, and yesterday brought roast
ing ears to Miami in the Holland
boats, for sale. These were placed
at the Miami Grocery Store and Il.
H. Brady company, and a large
quantity was left at Ft. Lauderdale
also.
Corn will be brought from this
tract of Everglades land to Miami
every few days by Mr. Bissell, who
expects to realize handsome profit
from his productive acres The
ears are being sold az five cents each
