A Devil-F Hunt

Punta Gorda is all agog with ex-
element. Information has been
received there that Col. Thedore
Roosevelt, hunter extraordinary
who has penetrated the wilds OF
Africa and South America in
search of rare specimens of fauna,
is coming to Punta Gorda to start
out on a hunt for devil-fsh. The
New York World has dispatch
that the Colonel has decided to
cancel his trip to the South Sea
Islands and has accepted an invi-
tation from Col. Russell j. Cole,
of Danville, Va, for the devil-fsh
expedition. The time selected is
next March.
This will put Punta Gorda on
the map,in the magazines and in
the Museum Of Natural History,
at one and the same time; and
think of the opportunities it will
give Col. Adrian Jordan to write
fish stories such as never before
have dropped from the point of his

Make Plans Now For Your Winter
Potato Crop

Winter-grown Irish potatoes
are more profitable to the farmer
|of Florida than the fall-grown
crop. 1t is the early potato that
finds ready market both at home
and in the North and it can be
marketed before it reaches matur.
|ity. Florida-grown seed has not
proved satisfactory in past sea
sons, says A. p. Spencer, district
agent of farmers cooperative
demonstration work to the Uni
lyersity of Florida, who recon-
mends. that growers follow the
usual custom Of buying northern
grown seed.
Mr.. Spencer also recommends
growing of larger acreage Of
winter potatoes. The fiatw0ods
sections where artesian irrigation
is possible are well adapted to this
crop if proper means for drainage
are provided These soils contain
much humus and can be brought
TO a high state Of cultivation by
systematic crop rotation. Make
the potato beds from 12 to IS in
ches high, and with ditchs at the
ends of the rows, sufficient drain
age for ordinary seasons will be
had.
Potatoes may be planted in
South Florida In January, or even
IN December, with comparative
safety from killing frosts, but IN
North and Central Florida plant
ings should be deferred until the
latter panAAo January. February
