Eight carloads of Cinnamon, en-

passed through Pensacola last night,
remaining for about half an hour in
this city. Hence they went to Key

handled through from the Pacific
coast They are needed in Cuba, it
is said, to care for the crops there,
being especially useful in the tobacco
and sugar cane fields.
While in Pensacola, like at all sta
tons, they were closely watched, al
though they could have stopped here
with no violation of the federal sta
tutes, as they were all legally within
the boundaries of the United States,
having resided for years in California.

An effort is being made by the
Chamber of Commerce to have Pen
sacola designated as the free port on
the gulf coast, designation which
is considered of great Importance at
the present time. Under the tenta-
tive plans formulated by the shipping
board there would by free port on
the Atlantic, and one on the gulf
coast.
There seems little doubt but New
York will be designated the free port
on the Atlantic, but there is much
rivalry for the coveted prize on this
coast. 1t is contended that the pro-
tective tariff enforced at American
ports in the greatest obstacle to for
eign trade, and that if several ports
be designated as free of these duties,
great development will take place.
In summing up the advantage of
free ports, the following arguments
are used:
Without exception the free ports
those of England, Hamburg, Bremen,
Lubbock, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Hong
Kong, and Singapore-are among the
commanding ports of the world
The free port will aid in the re-
establishment of American shipping !;
it will furnish cargoes going and COM
ing as well as employment in the
harbors.
1t will link the United States with
South America, Asia, and Africa by
trade connections which will tend to
the promotion of friendly relations

PLANT ASPARAGUS ROOTS
Good Results Obtained by Placing In
Rows Four Feet Apart-Some
Growers Use Seed.

Good results can be obtained In
starting q commercial asparagus bed
by planting roots in rows four feet
apart. They a be placed two feet
apart in rows and about eight inches
deep. Place about an inch Of rich
soil in the bottom Of the trench and
spread out the roots carefully before
covering them with earth. This depth
Of eight inches prevents injury to the
roots and, as they develop, more earth
can be worked into the trench during
the process OF wedding and cultivation.
The second year the bed must be thor
Oughly cultivated to keep down weeds
and conserve moisture, and the third
year cutting may be continued for
about three weeks, which gives the
grower about half a crop for market.
Although some growers seem to prefer
starting their asparagus beds from
seed. the beginner can doubtless have
better success by trying a few strong
healthy roots.
