There is general impression
among people of the state that yield
is the one object of corn club work.
That is because yield is the easiest
thing to see. Big yields are good to
work for but they are not the only
consideration. The emphasis of the
practical and business side of farm
ing is the primary object of corn
clubs.
The boys are required to keep rec
ords and to write an essay on how
they raised the corn. This impress
es the principles upon their minds
and, best of all, puts them in the
habit of keeping records. This is
perhaps the greatest work of the
corn club, because it strikes at the
greatest need of the farmer-busi-
ness principles. According to G. l..
Harrington, club agent for the Uni
versity of Florida Extension Division.
the value of the essay is usually I'M
derestimated because the necessary
records which must be compiled pre-
viously are not considered. These
records are the important thing for
the boy, but the essay is the means
of showing how complete they are
and how well he has grasped the
principles he has been taught.
The exhibit is also another i'm
portant part of the work because in
choosing the best ten ears from his
acre the boy learns to select seed
corn Field selection of seed is one
of the greatest needs of the state.
If the boy learns this, his work and
the effort of the state and National
Government will be amply repaid.
The greatst production at the least
expenditure, together with a lesson
on seed selection and business prin-
ciples for the farm are the chief
missions of corn clubs.

TAKE THIS FISH STORY
OR LEAVE Il

Miami boatmen returned to the
city from the upper king-tish grounds
yesterday afternoon with their eyes
protruding They declared some gi-
gantic monster as big as Charlie
Thompson's fish" was playing havoc
with the schools of kings, and they
were afraid to remain for fear of
what the marine creature might do
to them.
Captain Robert Otto was one of
those who saw the fish and identified
it as duplicate of the Thompson
deep sea curiosity, and he was also
one of those who made for dry land.
He was not afraid. but deemed it
was better to be safe than curious.
The fish was said, by Captain Da-
mon Archer, to be almost hundred
feet long, with spots on it's skin as
big as dinner plates. He told also
that it's eyes, as large as barrel
head. gazing unblinkingly at the
monday sun with a glare that made
the blood of the beholder turn cold
in his veins.
Still other boatmen contended that
the creature was merely blackfish
out in search of dinner. They be
lieved it better to give the monoster
all the room he needed for fear he
might make a mistake and do some
damage to their boatsy and for this
reason alone, they said, they came
back to the deck.
All of which is taken as a sigr
that the season is rapidly approach
ing. not that anyone doubts the
veracity of the fishermen, but thai
curious creatures are said to frequent
this part of the coast with greater
persistency during the season wher
the winter visitors are here than a
any other part Of the year-Miam

his money on her when he had it. In.
stinctively he started forward, his

But almost as he started he checked
himself. No, it would be better not
