KIDNAPPED CHILD FOUND
BY COUNTY OFFICERS

Joseph F. Vitoues is under arrest
charged with carrying rife with
out a permit. He came into St.
Johns county, kidnapping his own
son, a child of three years of age,
but as he was father of the boy no
charge for taking the child was pre-
feried against him. Over year
ago he and his wife separated, but
afterwards were reconcilsd. Later
he eft and came to Florida, bring
ing the child with him. His wife
finally learned that he was at Man
DARN and she followed him. They
again settled their differences and
were living together amicably until
few nights ago, when the husband
after a quarrel left while his wife
was absent from the house. He
took the boy and crossed the county
line, going to a place near Switzer-
land. The friends of his wife inter-
ested themselves in the case and Sc

rather to bling the boy before the
court in Jacksonville. He sent his
son, Deputy Charles Perry, and
Deputy Turner out to scour the
county in search of the boy. After
tedious investigation they located
the man and boy in an old abandon
ed shanty near Switzerland. They
crept up to the place while the man
was asleep, having been told that
he was armed with a rife and woul
probably give trouble. The man was
taken with the boy. An army rifle
was found in the place and the
charge of having a rifle without a
permit was preferred against him
Sheriff Perry took the boy to his
home for the night and later carried
him over to Jacksonville in com
pliance with the orders of the court
The boy is bright little fellow, anc

DR.. KNAPP'S TEN COMMAND
MENTS OF AGRICULTURE

The late DR.. S. A. Knapp, of the
United States department of agri-
culture, prepared a code. The Ten
Commandments of Agriculture for
the guidance of the farmer in his re-
lations with the land.
The University of Florida Exteu-
sion Division recommends them for
your consideration:
/. Prepare deep and thoroughly
pulverized seed bed, we'll drained;
break in the fall to the depth of S.
10 or IL inches, according to the
soil, with implements that will not
bring too much of the subsoil to the
surface; the foregoing depths should
be reached gradually.
2. Use seed of the best variety,
intelligently selected and carefully
stored.
8. In cultivated crops, give the
rows and plants in the rows space
suited to the plant, the soil and the
|
climate.
4. Use intensive tillage during
the growing period of the crops.
;. Secure high content of hui
mus in the soil and by the use Of
legumes, barnyard manure, farm re
fuse and commercial fertilizers.
6. Carry out a systematic crol
rotation with winter cover crop OF
southern farms.
| 7. Accomplish more work in a da,
by using more horse power and bet
ter implements.
s. Increase the farm stock to tn
extent of utilizing all the waste pro
ducts and idle lands of the farm.
9. Produce all the food require
for the men and animals on tn
farm.
10. Keep an account of each fari
product, in order TO knowfrom whic
the gain or loss arises.
