FISHING is GOOD EVERYWHERE

1t is always at the heights Of the
tourist season that we hear the great
est number of fish stories. They
come from every point on the Florida
coast all the way from Ferndandina to
Pensacola, and from places on all the
flyers and lakes.
When the man who dotes on fishing
reads of a great catch at Miami he
wishes he were in Miami. If the re.
port comes from the raging Caloosa-
hatchee roundabout Fort Myers, he
longs to be there. Or if the story
tells of big bass catch from some OF
the mid-state lakes, it is there he
would be.
The whole thing is pretty much like
picking blackberries: it Is so easy
to believe they are thicker just on the
other side of the fence from where We
are gathering and we are tempted TO
climb over to find that the picking is
good there but not better than that
we have left.
Truth is that fishing is good every
where in Florida waters.-Clearwat

BIC CORN CROP
IS NOW MOVING
More Than 1000 Million Bushels
Raised in 1917-Gives

SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION
America Beginning Greatest Corn Con-
sumption in History, Using Cereal
In Many Delicious Dishes

Corn, Americas greatest cereal crop,
is now moving rapidly to market.
More than 5000 million bushels
30 bushels for every man, woman and
child in America raised in 1917.
1t was a mighty crop. The actual In
crease is about 500 million bushels.
And this extra store of grain is com
Ing on to the market In the nick OF
time, since the American wheat sur

threatened Europe.
Just as 1t happened In the Colonial
days, the War of the Revolution, and
the Civil War, corn has actually be-
come the nations mainstay.
In the entire list of Americas food
commodities there Is no item that Is
better than corn. In buildings, bread,
corn pone, and as hominy combined
with meat or eggs, corn is without
peer. Housewives are fast learning
the large number OF delicious dishes
that may be made with corn and their
families are beneiiting by an increas-
ed use OF the cereal Corn, more than
any other cereal, contains all OF the
elements essential to maintaining life
and health.
In order that the fighting men
abroad and in the army camps at home
may be fed, and in order that actual
famine may be kept from the nations
associated with America In the war,
the citizens of America are finding
corn products delicious and palatable
on "wheatless days" and glory in the
fact that "wheatless days" here mean
more wheat for the war worn allied
nations IN Europe.
England, France and italy must be
fed from Americas great storehouse
They will get some corn-especially
Italy-but most of their grain ship
ments must be wheat. Their ability
to use corn is small compared to the
facilities they have for using wheat.
And It Is the opinion of officials In
Washington that the present is no time
to try and change the eating habits OF
Europe
Americas greatest use OF corn will
be in the form of corn bread and corn
meal, mixed with wheat In the making
OF leavened bread.
Mixed with so per cent wheat -four,
corn meal can be used in bread max
ing, producing a loaf more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat alone
It Is fact corn mlllers will verify
that dozens of the large American bak-
ers have been successfully using corn
-four In bread making for several
years.
Homlny grits. served at breakfast
with a poached egg, or eaten at any
other meal with meats or gravy, is an
other use of corn that will become un-
usually popular during the war.
Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes
and corn oil for use In all kinds OF
cooking, are two more products that
are already welcomed In thousands OF
