Navy Employee On East

suits In Truck

Growing large variety Of the
most succulent vegetables, Mr.. Hess,
residing at the old w. F. Lee home,
on East Gregory street, is taking
a pardonable pride in showing friends
his ability as home gardener. Plant
ed in the rear of the residence, and
occupying about every available foot
of the tillable ground, is one of the
prettiest home gardens in town-and
Mr.. Hess only regret is that he
hasn't got more ground so he could
show what he could do.
Mr.. Hess came here from Mobile
some time ago, and holds position
at the Pensacola navy yard. With get
ting home late in the afternoon and
leaving at an early hour in the morn
ing, he did not have sufficient time
to work on the patch as he desired,
but the labor that he has put forth
is showing excellent results, and the
family has been eating home -groHn
products for the past two weeks.
During the past few days new pota-
toes have been eaten, and there are
lots of them still in the ground. Tur-
nips, radishes, tomatoes, squash, GU
cumbers, lettuce, mustard, ETC., are
growing in surprisingly large and
yielding quantities, and Mr.. Hess says
the only reason there is not larger
production is because there is no
more available ground on the prem
Uses. 81 used to have a garden in
Mobile" said Mr.. Hess, "and it was
pretty one, but this one, believe,
beats the Mobile effort"
Talking of Gregory street, that pr
ton of the eastern part of that thor
oughfare from Alcaniz and Cervallos
streets, is a success of pretty gardens
and flower yards. Some of the most
tastily arranged yards to be found
in the city may be found in that sec
ton and it is matter of considerable
pleasure to citizens and visitors to
view such from day to day.

Marketable Amounts To
1,40o, 600, 900 Pounds
TWICE THE BUTTER
OUTPUT OF THE U. S.
Nearly Four Million Pounds
Cotton Seed Meal, Same
Food Value AS Corn
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Washington, D. c., April 28.-To
reduce the cotton acreage OF the
south and plant more lands IN food
crops would be a very unwlse means
of trying to increase the food supply,
it was asserted here today by John
T. Ashcraft, Of Florence, Ala, who
is here for few days on business.
Mr.. Ashcraft is secretary of the leg
islative committee OF the Interstate
Cotton Crushers' Association.
every few people seem to think
of the cotton crop as food and Teed
supply" said Mr., Ashcraft. II the
south raises less than 12,0OO,O00 bales
of cotton in 1917, this government
will realize that a calamity has be-
fallen it. Everybody knows the me-
cessity for the lint for clothing and
munitions, but few think about what
a 10000. 900 bale cotton crop means
in food and feed. Twelve million
bales of cotton produces, after re-
serving seed for planting the next
crop, 1,400, 100000 pounds of oil,
more than twice the amount of cream
erv butter produced in the whole
United States. This oil has a food
value of 1850 Galleries a pound and q
digestive ability of 97.8 per, cent,
whereas butter has a food value OF
only 3,49O calories. Yet refined cot
ton oil sells at about one-third the
price of butter. =
"Such a crop of cotton means II
feed $500, 100000 pounds of cotton
seed meal, which pound for pound, ma;
twice the food value of corn, and yet
cottonseed meal sells pound fol
pound at about two-thirds the price
Of corn. Such crop means 2,400, 900
600 pounds of bulls, which pound fol
mound, have feed value about equa
to timothy hay, and yet hulls sci
for about one-half the price of hay
soThe reduction Of the cotton crol
will have a serious direct effect Il
decreasing the food and feed suppl!
and should not be attempted.

HOW DRAFT WILL WORK

This is how the draft will be put
into force:
/. The president will designate by
proclamation day of registration,
the voting precinct being used as the
smallest unit for enrolment. The
governors Of the various states will
be asked to have the sheriffs Of the
counties appoint registers to take the
names of all males between the ages
of nineteen and twenty-five. Those
who refuse to enroll will be arrested.
2. The state officers will exempt
from military service persons engag-
ed in industries, including agricultu-
raj, found to be necessary to the
maintenance of the military establish
ment or the effective operation of the
military forces, or the maintenance of
national interests during the emer-
gency."
3. Those not exempted will be re-
ported to the war department which
will make further exemptions.
a. It is estimated that by August
1, the 100000 men desired will be in
training camps. In the meantime the
government must provide equipment
for the recruits.

Horse Meat May Soon Be

1t really was. We enjoyed that piece
of equine flesh for several days, and
it was not until weeks afterward that
any of us knew the difference.
Il will confess that the first re-
ception of the news made me squeam-
ish, and in company with several
comrades, | invoked hearty curses
upon the fellow who fooled US.
'In truth, the meat of horse is
excellent of taste and unexcelled from
a sanitary standpoint, as of all ami
mails none exceeds the horse in the
cleanliness of it's food. The European
