PINELLAS RAISES POULTRY

A. p. Spencer, district agent for
the University of Florida Extension
Division, reports that sections in
Pinellas county are finding poultry
profitable. A large number of peo-
pie in the southern part of the coun-
ty around st. Petersburg have been
supplying tourists with poultry pro-
ducts, and are clearing from $3.50
to So bird for the year, on flocks
of 600 to 1900.
Most of them have had trouble in
supplying feed, however. During
average seasons, green feeds are not
hard to produce, but grains have
been scarce. Some growers are plan
ming to grow rice and non saccharir
sorghums to supply grains.

product through the streets for sale
are each provided with boiler un-

CARSON ADVISES DRAWING
LOTS TO DECIDE WHO WILL
GO TO ST LOUIS

Jacksonville, May 1.-The move
ment to assure Florida's representa-
ton in the St Louis convention by
resorting to means to overcome the /
dangers attendant upon the selection
of delegates in the primary because
Of the nearness of the primary date
to the convention is gathering mo-
mentum.
C. A. Carson, of Kissimmee, can
didate for delegate-at-large, has ad-
dressed a letter to all candidates who
have qualified for the honor, with a
view of ascertaining whether they
will be willing to take the chance OF
running by drawing lots. If no more
than four candidates agree to quail
! ify, under the primary law, they
automatically become elected and
there will be no need of counting the
ballot. Their names will not appear
nm the ballot for, according to the
urinary act, the names Of no can
didates without opposition are print
ed. This is done to save time and
trouble in tabulating the vote.
Mr.. Carson proposes that all avoW-
ed candidates agree to draw lots for
the honor 81 drumming running. This example
NAV be followed out in the different
congressional districts, from each OF
which two delegates are selected.
On last Tuesday the Florida Me
tropolis sounded the warning that
has been recognized but not officially
realized throughout the State. Nat
ional Committeeman John T. q.
Crawford the nominal head of the
party in the State, suggested the use
| of special return sheets for tabulat-
ing the vote, so that the votes for
delegates might be counted in every
: precinct before the vote for other Of
fees and the totals sent direct to the
canvassing board at Tallahassee.
Mr.. Carson's letter to other candi
dates for delegate-at-large follows:

fed as a candidate for delegate
