Hybrid Corn Gives Increased Yield.

Every farmer is interested in in
creaslng his corn yield. If he cares
to take the trouble he can do SO.
John Belling, assistant botanist to
the University Of Florida Experiment
Station, has the following to say
about hybrid corn:
1T has been found that hybrid corn
of the first generation of the cross
between certain different varieties of
corn gives a larger crop than either
OF its parents, or than it's offspring.
In some cases it gives so much lar
ger a crop that it pays to raise hybrid
seed in quantities every year. This
first generation hybrid is often more
vigorous than it's parents, and usual
ly combines the good qualities of both
parent varieties. In North and Gen.
trail Florida, dent corns, such as Mos
by Prolific and Bitch, are usually
grown. In South Florida, the West
Indian or Cuban yellow flinty corn is
more likely to succeed. But by grow
ing the hybrid generation between the
Cuban and one of these dent corns,
larger ears, sturdier plants and
greater yield may be had"
Those desiring to make the cross
can do so by planting alternate rows
of the two varieties from which the
cross is to be made. The tassels of
one variety are pulled out as soon as
they emerge and before they shed any
pollen. Thus the pollen from the
other variety will fall on those ears
and the cross will be made. Seed
from the detasseled rows is planted
for the crop next year. 1t is during
this second year that the increased
yield comes. The cross must be
made each year for the following crop,
because the second generation doe,
not give the increased yield.
This method will appeal chiefly to
those farmers who grow seed for sale.
But any farmer who cares to take the
trouble can profit by it.-State Agri-
cultural News Service.

+ THE WOOD WHO
+ WOULD BE GOVERNOR.


Scene: Franklin Hotel, Apalahico-
la.
The present Governor had just come
upstairs. The large doors opening
to the southeast let in two men.
One of them was Wood who would
be Governor.
The other was Young L. Watson,
who would be Congressman.
Watson is in the prime of his sue
cessful life. But he is not young.
He is old. Old and wise. When he
was born his father was sixtxy-one
years OF age. He ought to run for
the Senate. He is tall and slender.
Wood has grey hair, what there is
OF it. He is about the height of Ma
poleon, and says people have told him
he looks like Harry Floyd. But he
doesn't For which he is to be con-
graduated. Wood has small feet. He
wears button shoes, black shoes nicely
polished, but half-soled. Although
a resident for years of St. Petersburg,
he wears vest. Hung to his watch
chain is gold nugget. He got it
himself in Alaska near Bonanza
SIeeh. Ills Leck-Cle Is green ana
flowing, and he wears small dia-
mond scarf pin and a ring which
contains three diamonds. Like near
ly all men of small stature he is af-
flicted with a continuous rush of
words to the face.
The voice of Wood of Pinellas Coun-
ty is not melancholy like the voice
of Pine Wood, but brisk and agree
able like the murmur of fatwood
burning on hearth. Wood himself
is fat. Also he is on fire. Nearly
all men of small stature are on fire.
To attract the attention of Eve and
Helen of Troy they must shine. Real
men of the stature of Willoughby
Marks and Governor Trammell can
afford an occasional silence. But Ma
poleons must talk all of the time A
thousand Josephines look down up
on him. When he cannot talk he
explodes cannon. Men of small stat
ure wear tall hats and strive earn
estly to stand on pedestals and this
is one reason F. A. Wood has had
his pretty button shoes half-soled and
is trying to travel to Tallahassee.
If lie wore wooden shoes he would
have a better chance to defeat Hud-
son and the others.-C. H. B. Floyd in
Tampa Tribune.

QUAIL COST TEN
 DOLLARS 4 HEAD
Young High School Lad Finds to His Discontinue That Tasty Birds Cost Way Above Market Price This Time of Year

Ten dollars apiece for four quail, or forty dollars for q mornings shooting is a rather large price to pay for that king of all sports, even in Arizona where if is better than in any state in tho Union. Wallace Kolberg, of Phoe- nix, a recent graduate of the local high school. divied up that amount yester- day and considered himself lucky to get off that easy.
 It all happened in the following man. ner. Deputy State Game Warden Dwight Pe5tis. who occupies desert home north of the Grand Canal. was awakened yesterday morning by a vol ley of shots, sounding grealy like what might be 2 morning salute of an Eu- ropean trench party.
 Pettis harncsed up his Ford. sailed out for the scene of the uproar. and foHrd young Kolberg calmly skinning what he claimed was a quantity of white wings. Pettis agreed that there was nothing wrong in that, as long as the game laws allow the killing of the birds i2 spite of the fact that their voung are unable to take care of them selves, and started to leave the scene of the massacre. His attention was at tracted to what appeared in their un- dress state three or four quail. Pettis fished them out, established their iden- tity and politely invited Kolberg to ac- company him to Justice Parker's court.
 Pettis proved to the judge that the birds were quail. and Kolberg was as sessed ten dollars per, and then had the added insult of having his four quail taken away from him. Sheriff Jeff Adams confiscated them. stuck them under his arm, and headed for home, where the disposal of the con- traband is vet a mystery.
