It was stated yesterday upon relia-
BILE authority that the party of CAPT
talists and railroad men who came
through Pensacola in a special car
over the Gulf. Florida and Alabama
Railroad. were here for the purpose of
looking into the advisability Of build
ing spur tracks or loops from Pen
sacola along a line reaching to the
shipyard.
1t was stated that the object was
To establish a system for carrying
freight only, no passenger service be-
ing in view. The idea is to get the
great mass of freight, as well as the
smaller along the proposed route as
expeditiously as possible and relieve
congestion.
The party went over the proposed
route and the chief engineer made an
inspection of the surroundings in con-
nection with the construction of the
loops or spurs.

District Demonstration Agent Hiatt
yesterday discussed just what the farm
ers should raise and when to raise the
various crops. He was for permanent
pastures which can be established with
Bermuda grass and lesperdesa, better
known as Japan clover. Pastures so
planted viii soon get what Is known
az a "set" and they should be kept
III, on the farm all the time. He said
TIE Florida farmers were backward In
this respect.
Mr.. Hiatt advised West Florida farm
ers to increase their food production
this year by planting upland rice.
sorghum for forage and syrup. peanuts
and soy beans. The latter should be
planted now to save the seed for next
year. These crops, Mr.. Hiatt said. could
he planted from now on, rice by June
10, sorghum for syrup at once and for
feed as late as July. Peanuts can BE-
planted up to the middle OF June for
the main crop. Sweet potatoes could
also be put in.
Dat ground, said Mfr. Hiatt, should
be followed MP with peanuts. He said
there were fine wheat lands In West
Florida and a good crop Is making on
some OF the farms.
Irish potatoes, ne thought, should be
planted in a small way this fall to get
the seed.
IIrges Summer Gardens.
Mr. Hiatt was emphatic on one point.
He said this was the time when people
can ard must pay more attention to
summer gardens. Also that farmers
should cab upon their county agents
for any Information they desired.
Further discussing other food pro-
ducts which could be raised in abun-
dance in West Florida he mentioned
snap and navy beans.
Turning to ffie subject Of animal
foods he said that the hog heads the
list OF stock but emphasized the fact
that there must be feed for the hogs.

they would be lean, whereas II he
