dry so thoroughly that the first hard

qualities.
Practical experience, as well as the
testimony of many of the best corn
growers, shows that an ear taken
from the stalk as soon as it is glazed
or even before, shows a great vigor
after planting, as do the ears that are
left on the stalk until the entire crop
is fit to husk.
Such experiments and testimony
seem to justify us in taking advantage
of the early maturing ears and those
that are less mature, If they possess

DRYING SEED CORN

By J. c. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Col

Drying seed corn is even more i'm
portant than selection this fall. If
frozen with as much moisture as it
seems likely to contain when the first
freezing comes, it may be almost
worthless as seed next spring. To
avoid danger from early frost, select
the most mature ears in the field
and dry thoroughly at once. If
neighbor's corn of seed variety ripens
earlier arrange to pick in his field.
Seed grown in the locality in which
1t is to be planted is always to be
chosen in preference to that shipped
in from a distance.

ter of interesting them as pros
pective settlers.
The fclimatei' slogan is a
good one, but it does not always
serve as a booster for Florida.
Too often the wrong impress
sion is made because of the fact
that climate takes precedence
over the material commercial
resources of the state; the FORM
er is emphasized. and by the
reason of analogy the latter is
buried as a material necessity
which is conspicuous for its abb
sence, and there never was a
more absurd impression created
in the opinion of anyone. Flor
ida has a most excellent eli
mate, but Florida is equally as
famous for her many and varied
resources as she is for her adj
mirable climate, and when Flor
ida has come rightfully into her
own. it will be because of a cor
rect exploit of her many wonder
full resources.
AS a horticultural and agricul-
tural state, Florida ranks fore
most among the American states
when the populations of state
and the number of acres in cul-
tivation is considered. Ten
acres of land in Florida under
cultivation is made to yield on
an average more money than
the average 100 acre farm in
other states. This fact, coupled
with the further fact that Flori-
da is an ideal state for stock and
fowl raising and possesses Won
derful interests in the manufac-
ture of lumber, naval stores fer
tilizers, to say nothing of Flori-
da's immense mining interests,
its great fishing and sponging
industries and many other re-
sources which go to make up the
most independent status COM
of any state in the I'm
ion. Florida should be noted
for her climate. but the facts
regarding her wonderful re-
sources and otherwie ma
teral advantages should not be

SAND OIL ROADS.

Sand-oil roads may not set
tie the problem of highway con-
struction in this state in an en-
tirely satisfactory manner, but
the concensus of opinion is that
they will give a pretty fair road
at a moderate cost and that IS
the present crying need OF Flor,
ida. Give us more roads and
better roads--it doesn't so much
matter what the material used,
so we get some kind of roads
that may be travelled, and get
them soon. While we are try
ing out the sand-oil variety per-
haps something better may be
evolved, but this type seems to
be the best and most available
for the present pressing needs.

FLORIDA BONDS SOLD
WITHOUT TROUBLE.

OF course It is useless to reason
with those people who in the enjoy
ment Of their three squares and a
good bed to sleep in take a melan-
choly pleasure in affirming several
times a day to anybody who will
listen to them that we are now hav-
ing the hardest times known in the
United States and that they are di-
rectly chargable to Woodrow Wilson
and the Democratic administration
But to others not petrified in par
tisan politics and who reason on
facts unbiased by party prejudices
it is not out of place to say that the
remarkable readiness with which
Florida bonds, county and NUM-
cipal, are sold these days almost at
par to northern capitalists is proof
Of the strongest kind that the al
legged hard times are passing away.
Capitalize best of all barometers
and easily run to cover when the
signs are bad-is investing in these
bonds just as though the war in
Europe has not paralyzed half Of
our foreign commerce and incident
ally hurt the country in many other
ways.
When there is genuine panic
on money runs like a scared rabbit,
and when a long period of real
hard times has settled down like q
heavy incubus upon all commerce
and enterprise that same capital
sticks its nose out timidly and never
ventures into the open except when
it has dead sure thing" in sight.
Itprefers to stay in boarding and
wait until the times are normal or
rapidly getting so, and that is just
what is happening now, for money is
over Its panic and is coming easily
into sound investments in all
parts of the country, especially here
in Florida.
Our exchanges are telling us every
week of the sale of Florida bonds
for improvement purposes at good
fgures-better figures than Eng
land, Franch or Germany can sell
their great national securities for
today-and even the bonds issued by
the small subdivisions of our cour-
ties are disposed of without trouble
for almost par. Large streams of
money are flowing into Florida from
these sources, and every dollar of
this money is applied to purposes
that make work for working men,
business for manufacturing estab-
lishments and trade for the mer-
chants.
The other day Lakeland sold
bonds to the amount of 100000 for
nearly par, the money to go for local
improvements; Auburndale sold
$4,000 worth at good figures for
school-house building, and fernando
county sold good roads bonds to the
amount of $250,000 at 95 cents
Jacksonville has million dollars
worth to dispose of and will sell
them without difficulty or sacrifice
and all over the State it is the same
story

MORE Than
OUR CLIMATE

The newspapers of Florida are
boosters in the truest sense of
the word for Florida and Flor
dia pest interest, which means
of course that the newspapers of
the state do not approve every
proposition that is designed
and submitted as a proper thing
for the best interest and adj
vancement Of the state, but the
term simply means that the
newspapers as a rule have an
eye single to the states best
interest, and either approve or
disapprove schemes and policies
as they appear either beneficial
or Instantaneous.
But while the Florida news
papers are great boosters we
fear that the majority of them
are mistaken in the methods
employed in their boosting. To
illustrate this point more fully,
many of the papers of the state
find practically nothing good to
say about the state save that
well worn slogan climate.
Certainly Florida has a most
excellent climate, and one in
which all benefciaries take an
especial pride, and for that rea-
son perhaps many find them
selves in this one rut of con-
stantly and continually laying
repeated stress on the climate.
We see no objection whatever
to the newspapers boosting
Florida's climate, for certainly
it is something worthy of every
complimentary expression. but
to lay SO much stress on the
climate and to say little regard
ing the resources which enable
one to enjoy a climate, is not a
policy that will add materially
to the settlement of the state.
One may enjoy a fine climate,
but they cannot live on it. 1t
will not supply food, buy cloth
ing. educate children, pay min
listers salaries and pay other
necessary expenses. Climate is an
excellent thing, to be sure, but
it does not appeal to one as be-
ing all when it comes to a mat

They have a real sensation over
in West Florida and it touches
both the seat of State government
and the judiciary Of Florida. The
Pensacola News tells about it is
follows:
Charging that w. w. Clark, of
Milton, has kept money which he
collected for clients, R. Pope Reese.
of Pensacola, has sent voluminous
communication to Governor Tram
NELL in which he not only protests
against the appointment of Clark as
Judge of the First judicial circuit to
succeed Judge J. Emmett Wolfe but
claims that Clark should be disbar-
red from practice in the courts Of
Florida. The communication from
Mr.. Reese is a document Of twelve
pages and consists of letters from
other attorneys in this judicial cir
cult and some Of Clark's clients
Mr.. Clark has not as yet received
his commission as Judge Of this cir
cult. Yesterday Mr.. Reese received
a letter from Governor Trammell
thanking him for the information
which had been sent and asking him
to send such other data as could be
furnished. Ire governor further
stated that if necessary he would
write himself direct to the parties
mentioned in Mr.. Reese's communi-
cation. The parties mentioned, it is
said, are in position to give the gov
ernor all Of the facts regarding
Clark's dealings as an attorney"
