SOME GREAT FLORIDA
CORN YIELDS

! Mr.. George Ellis, who travels Out
| from GAINESVILLE. and is perhaps bet
Ter acquainted with Florida farmina
than any man in the state, is telline
some remarkable stories of big corn
yields
ne says that Mr.. T. L. Hodgson of
Wllllston. until he was forty years of
age, kas seaman, and knew moth
ing of farm life, but about twenty
years ago he lost his fleet of boats
IN great storm, which put a quietus
10 Sis seafaring career. He married
about that time, after very roman
tic courtship, and the couple set
tied upon farm.
Mr.. Hodgson studied the farm as
he had studied the sea and kent his
eye just as steady on the wheel.
For instance, he gathered his
seed corn before he gathered his
crop, and made the selections from
the biggest ears. from the most ro-
bust stalks, and as a result every
year he got a larger yield.
In 1912, from "a acres he garner
ed ~ bushels by actual measure
ment an weight.
In 1913 he gathered. from 40
acres, 1000 bushels.
From acres of oats Mr.. Hodgson
harvested $50 bushels.
Mr.. Ellis vouches for these figures
he says that before her marriage
Mrs. Hodgson was court steno-
srapher, is thoroughly business
woman and keeps an accurate ac-
count of the farm operations, and the
total. cost of the yield in 1913 was
"a II cents per bushel.
All that was not needed for home
was readily sold for 81
per bushel.
Mr.. Ellis says that Mr.. w. p.
Phifer, living near Rochelle. has a
corn yield record of 127 1-2 BUSH
els per acre.
Mr.. Ellis says that there is wealth
and happiness in living on a farm if
our people could rid themselves of

OVER THE ONE GRAVE

A story that comes from Illinois is

charity between the various reyig-
lous organizations, especially in this
country.
The story is interviewer with a
pitlufl tale of the death of the beau

penltentiary at Joliet. She lived at
the prison with her husband and was
friend to the prisoners, aiding her
husband materially in establishing
the honor system in that institution.
During his absence she was founy
murdered, supposedly by a trusty of
the prison, and the husband was
called home to her mangled and
burned body.
At her funeral, which took place
in Joliet, last Tuesday. hundreds of
loving friends gathered to do the
dead woman honor, and by their
presence to comfort the stricken
husband.
At the head of the grave, when
the time came for the commital SER
