ATTEMPTS LIFE
 WITH DYNAMITE
House Blown Up in North Clifton and Owner has Narrow Escape from Death.

About II o'clock Monday night the residents of North Clifton near the pump station were aroused from their slumbers by a terrific explosion which was thought by some to have been a blast, but upon investigation by the sleepy neighbors, it was found that the home of Jose Jurado had been dynamited with the evident inten- tention of taking the life of the occu- pant.
 The explosive was undoubtedly placed under the mans bed on the floor, the person gaining access to the house, as the force of the explo- sion was in a downward direction. The bed and the room in which it was situated were a wreck and the side of the house was blown away, and had the occupant been in bed at the time his fate would not be at all problematical.
 Jurado, who works for the Shannon Copper company, was on night shift, and it was his usual custom to arrive home about eleven o'clock, but on Monday night some good fairy must have been on the job watching over his destiny, as he did not arrive home until some time after 11:30. It ap- p0dIS LAdL mAOSNCI Wd0 I0opOuSlD1O for the outrage was closely acquaint- ed with his habits and had his evil intentions not miscarried Jurado would have been killed.
 An investigation of the affair was made and early Tuesday morning Jesus Apodaca was taken into cus- tody, it being believed by the officers that he was cognizant of the plot to wreck the house and had good req son to seek Jurado's life. It is un- derstood that for some time past Ju- rado had been living with Apodaca's wife and that several months ago the matter was aired in the local justice court with what was supposed to have been an amicable adjustment, but it seems that Jurado has persist ed in his illicit relations with the wo- man to the present time much against the wishes of her husband. It is al so stated that Apodaca has at differ ent times made threats against the life of Jurado if he did not cease his attentions to the formers wife.
 It is the supposition that patience had ceased to be a virtue with Apo daca and that his pent-up anger against the destroyer of his home led him to make the attempt on his life. Apodaca is now confined in the county jail awaiting a hearing.

Corn Production in Florida

For the first time in forty
years, accordingly to a recent pub
Iished statement, Florida is now
shipping corn 10 other states and
the output, in spite of increased
interest in livestock, will undoubt-
eddy increase from year to year.
That Florida lands, in all sec
tons, will produce high grade
corn and Other grains in album
dance, has been known for years.
South Floridians, however, have
devoted attention almost wholly
to producing fruits and early veg
etables, giving staples little con-
Sideration. They are uniting, tho,
in the work Of diversifying crops,
and grain-planted acreage shows
big increas each season. This
is cause for COngratulation.
The Leesburg Commercial calls
attention TO the fact that there is
one field of muck land on the Ok
lawaha river, in Lake county,
which will produce $4,000 bushels
of corn this season. "At the pres,
emit market price, " says the Com.
mcrcial, "this field of corn is
worth upwards of $60,750, which
is at least ten times what it cost
to produce it,

October Is Will Be Market Day

ing demand among growers for
the latest information on market
ing. AS a result of this demand
one day, Wednesday, October IS,
of the Citrus Seminar at the Uni

Senator Fletcher To Speak On
Farm Loans At Citrus Seminar

Since the passage by Congress
of the Federal Farm Loan Act,
farmers haxe beteen planning$l
farmers have been planning farm
loan associations, but few under
stand the intricacies and details
of the Act. Senator Duncan u.
Fletcher will lecture before the
Citrus Seminar at the University
Of Florida, October IS, on the ma
chinery of the Farm Loan Act.
Senator Fletcher has been init
mately connected with the move
ment for rural credits since the
subject first gained recognition by
Congress. He has studied rural
finance and cooperation in several
European countries and in other
continents.
Senator Fletcher was chairman
of both commissions which were
sent to Europe to study European
systems of cooperation, market
ing and rural credits. The South
em Commercial Congress organ
lied the American Commission
which included representatives
from the United States and Cana
ada. He was made head of this
commission. When President Will
son appointed the United States
Commission to cooperate with the
American, the Florida Senator
was made chairman of it also.
In addition of the experiences
and interests he has had on these
commissions and in studying the
subject in foreign countries, Sen
ator Fletcher has been closely j.
Identified with the Act since it was
originally introduced. He is
therefore, in possession of a great
deal of information concerning the
workings of the Act. While his
lecture at the Seminar will ex-
plain how the average citrus grow
err in Florida can take advantage
of the provisions of the Act, the
explanations will pertain in way
to the general farmer also. To
hear Senator Fletcher will be the
best means of coming to a quick
understanding of the rural cred
it's law and with the rural finance
in general.

Silver Springs, at Ocala, is equal
ed in flow by few, if by any
springs in the world. WakulIa
Spring, in Wakulla county, has,
perhaps, the deepest basin, 60
feet of any Of the springs. 9th
er noticeable springs of this type
are Blue Springs in Marion com-
ty, Itchatuckee Spring in Column
bia county, Newland Springs, in
Suwannee county and Blue Spring
in Levy county, as well as many
smaller springs throughout this
section of this state. A number
of other springs differ slightly in
the water that is more highly
charged with carbon bisulphide
Among these are White Springs
in Hamilton county, Suwannee
Springs in Suwannec county,
Hamilton Spring in Taylor county
and White Sulphur Spring in
Hillsborough county. All of these
springs emerge from limestone,
and the water is remarkable clear
the bottom being visible in the
deepest springs. The combined
flow of three Of the largest springs
in Florida, namely, Silver Spring
Blue Spring and Wakulla Spring,
is little if any less than 100000
gallons a minute.
Florida is also famous for the
number and beauty of it's lakes.
These vary in size from the small
ponds to the great Okeechobee,
the surface area of which exceeds
700 square miles. Okeechobee is
in fact noteworthy as being, with

Many Truck Diseases Originate
In Seeded

Altho some of the important
diseases of celery, tomatoes and
other truck crops do not show I'M
til after the plants have been set
in the field, they often have their
origin in the seedbed. A clean
seedbed is the first step toward
producing disease-free plants. In
the first place a new soil is pre-
ferable; otherwise it must be ster-
ilized. After that, proper care
and cultivation will keep the
plants reasonably free from dis
ease.
DIR. G. d. Sherbakoff, associate
plant pathologist to the Universe
ty of Florida Experiment Station,
suggests that the young plants be
sprayed regularly with $3.50 Dor
deaux mixture. The soil should
be thoroly covered. This will re-
tard the spread of damping off
and hold in check some other fun
gus diseases which might attack
the young plants and thus be car
ried to the field and develop there.
Care, cultivation and not too
thick sowing will give the plants
a growing chance and create
favorable conditions for disease.
