Keep Record Of Farms.

Keep Record Of Farms.
In his opening remarks, Professor
Bliss said that the farmers OF Scott
county are asked to keep a record OF
their farms. crops and receipts and In
this way IL Is possible to get some
idea of what a farm pays on the in
vestment. Continuing he said, in
part:
I'm the last fifteen or twenty years
only a few farms have made more
than expenses. The great bulk of the
farmers wealth comes through the
rise in the valuation of the land We
get figures as to the crop and as to
the value of the stock. In making the
study we use the term animal unit, in
order to get stock on the same basis
An animal unit may be one COW, one
horse, five hogs or six sheep for twelve
months. We find out how much grain
was fed, so as to know how the feed
ing comes out flnacially.
ION seventy-three farms We have
land values at 1925 an acre. One
farm Just north Of Davenport, having
ordinary improvements, sold the other
day at $4OO an acre. The average size
OF the farm is 240 acres. of an average
valuation of $33 $500. So you will see
that the average farmer conducts a
bigger business than the average mer-
chant.

Quart Bill Passes
Both Branches of Legislature

TALLAHASSEE, April 19.-Backed
by a solid phalanx of prohibitionists,
the Wells e-quart-a-month bill pass
ed the House yesterday afternoon
without amendment by a vote of 50 to
20. 1t has already passed the Senate,
and takes effect as soon as signed by
the governor.
This bill prohibits the shipping of
liquor into dry territory in excess of
one quart a month to the head of a
family, or twelve pints of beer, and
is known as the Wells "bone-dry meas
ure.
With only two dissenting votes, the
House bill prohibiting the operation
of the locker system" in clubs in dry
territory and even the keeping of
liquor in clubs in prohibition towns,
passed the Senate yesterday morning
The bill now goes to the governor for
his signature.
So conspicuous by its absence is
any liquor lobby at Tallahassee this
session that the question has actually
arisen-did the whiskey men favor
the Wells anti-shipping or one-quart
a-month law? 1t has passed the
House and Senate, when it withstood
all amendments aimed at its very vi

tails and carried by overwhelming
votes. Some of the best prohibition
lists in the Senate voted against the
bill because they believed that its
presence on the statute books would
operate against the ratification of the
prohibition amendment at the polls
in November, 1918. On the other hand
some of the strongest local optionists
in the legislature voted for the bill.
Since the bill passed the Senate,
however, it has been discovered that
in case Florida votes for Statewide
constitutional prohibition, any head in
the family can get one quart a month
or twenty-four bottles of beer, pro-
vided the Wells law is on the statute
books, but under the recent act of
Congress. without such law as Wells
ON the books not even a quart a
month could be shipped into the state
after statewide prohibition had been
voted at the polls. So the "old
topers" who just have to have a little
drink occasionally, are congratulating
themselves that the bill passed and
that the governor will not be persuad.

sign it. There is grave question as

SCHOOL BOARD met To
ACT ON APPLICATIONS
FOR RE- APPOINTMENT

The local board of school trustees
met last night to act upon applica-
tions from those teachers now in ser
vice who have applied for re-appoint-
ment. A number of grade changes
were made together with recommends
tions for re-appointment. which must
be confirmed by the county board of
school trustees. However, as yet the
recommendations and changes have
not been completed nor have the new
applications been passed upon
The majority of the time was given
over to the recommendations to teach
ers' appointments for the coming year.
Among other matters coming before
the board was the deficit in the basket
ball fund, this deficit having been
made up by Prof. F A. Turnquist, ath-
letic instructor. The board agreed to
make good the necessary amount.

SEVERAL THOUSAND
YOUNG BLUEJACKETS
NOW IN TRAINING

LAKE BLUFF, H., April 19.-Sev-
eral thousand embryonic bluejackets
are being prepared at the Great Lakes
Naval Training station here to man
the ships of the American battle fleet
the nations first line of defense
in the war with Germany. Since Pres
ident Wilson declared a state of war,
the station, with barrack-room for
about 1,400 men, has been caring for
between 5000 and 1000 recruits and
the number is increasing daily.
Heretofore it has taken about four
months for a sailor to complete his
training in the naval preparatory
school. And the atmosphere about
the station was not unlike that in the
average Middle-Western college. Sur
rounding the quadrangular parade
ground, as college buildings surround
campus, are the barracks and exc
cutive offices. But the wartime re-
cruits have brought with them a more
serious demeanor than those of peace.
Then too. the influx of recruits and
the demand for men in the fleet has
been such that the training period
has been reduced to from ten to TWEEN
ty-one days contingents being sent
somewhere in the East" as rapidly
as they can be prepared. Each OF
the days spent at the station is filled
with what the officers describes as
intensive preparation for sea duty"
Each day bugles are blowing with the
thrill of preparation for war.

FARMERS BECOME
SUGAR KINGS

For several years the farmers have
been saying that while the sugar
company has a million dollars in
vested in factory, the farmers have
90 much invested in their farm land
and water rights, and that the divi-
sion of profits was not made with due
regard for the capital which the
farmer put in. If he raised good
crop he received suitable returns,
in his beet checks, but not otherwise.
Reply has been made that If the
sugar business failed, the farmer
could devote his sugar acres to other
farming, while the holder of fac
tory stock. would lose. During this
agitation, the sugar company paid
the agreed price for beets and never
sued any one who contracted to raise
beets and then neglected to do It.
If any one had raised beets for the
company and they had neglected and
refused to take the beets in the fall
and pay the price. the farmer would
have sued promptly to enforce the
contract, but the sugar company has
stood for the disappointments and
shouldered the loss due to farmers
ignoring contracts or raising less
than was agreed upon.
On different occasions when the
sugar company had done well they
sent extra checks to the growers Of
beets at Christmas time. During the
period of war the price has been
raised nearly az much per ton as
the war prices have added to the
cost of caring for an acre. Last fall
when people were caught mapping
with beets in the ground when
voluntarily paid them for the beets
in the ground spelling. Now comes
the greater surprise In the announce
ment that the company has decided
to make the farmers full partners in
the business by reason of the invest
ment in their beet lands. and to di-
vide profits with them accordingly
on the crop Of 1918. They have ex-
pended about three million dollars
this year to make the factories more
efficient, and with all these advances
and improvements, they will pour
out dividends next year in proper
ton to the beet tonnage raised.
It will be interesting now to see
what is said by the men who have
been saying this ought to be done,
and who have been iustifying the de-
livery of much dirt with their beets
because something Of the kind was
not done.
