c. A. Fulford, the Escambia county
farm demonstration agent, who is in
a position to know farm conditions,
says that this will be the best year
the farmers of Escambia have ever
had. The main thing occupying the
farmers mind now is not war talk,
says Mr.. Fulford, but corn, beans,
peas, peanuts and hogs.
After an extended visit over the
county and after looking over the
farms in every section, Mr.. Fulford
states that the fields are looking fine
and that the farmers have their land
in excellent shape.
Mr.. Fulford says: "Corn is the
main crop in the ground now; it is
from four to six inches high and do
ing splendidly. Now is the time to
plan velvet beans in between the corn
rows and good many farmers have
already done so and others are put
ting in beans every day. Most farm
ers are planning to grow three crops
simultaneously on the same piece OF
land, corn, peanuts and beans, OF
corn, peanuts and peas, is the combi-
be planted the latter part of this
month. Peanuts have become very
popular as a farm crop and there is
good reason for it too. Fifty bushels
can easily be grown to the acre and
rs cents is the minimum price paid
After the peanuts are sold the peanut
hay is very valuable, in fact there
is not better hay than peanut vines

Mighty Army Planned.
Washington, April 4.-Detailed
plans of the war department to raise
an army of millions" if necessary,
to bring Germany to terms, were
placed before President Wilson. As
already revised and approved by Sec
rotary of War Baker and other Off
Gals, the bill is ready for congress
soon after the war resolution passes,
is believed to provide training of not
less than 100000 in two years. The
bill will not provide for volunteers,
as army officers are opposed to send
ing troops abroad unless they are
highly trained, equipped and organic
ed, as they will be a menace instead
of a help. Secretary Daniels an
nounced contracts for two hundred
submarine chasers and coast patrol
boats are already let.
LaFOllette Bitterly Denounced.
Washington, April A big fea-
ture in the senate debate on Presi-
Dent Wilson's war resolution was the
address of Senator LaFollette and
the reply from Senator Williams. La
toilette declared the American people
DO not want war, and if given an OPP
portunity to vote would vote no by
ten to one. He declared prices will
multiply. LaFollette spoke for three
hours. Senator Williams, replying,
said LaFoliette's speech would better
become Bethmann- Hollweg than a
United States senator, and character
ized it as o-German, pro vandal
antl-president, and anti-congress and
anti-American.
LaFollette had department from his
prepared speech, demanding the peo-
pie make themselves hard, and de-
clarlng they have no mouthpiece OF
press. He declared the Germans are
more Solidly behind their government
than Americans will be behind Presi-
dent Wilson.
senator Williams, replying, said
Lar gillette, in stead of eulogizing the
herman people, might better eulogiZe
americans, who are greater, better
and more intelligent. He declared that
6ethmann- Hollweg could not have
me audacity to deliver in the reichs-
Tag such a speech as LaFollette's. He
SAID America must either fight Ger
