Continue Cultivation

Do not neglect the late cultiva-
tion of corn, cotton, grain, sor-
ghums, peanuts, cowpeas, and all
other cultivated crops. If the
ground is kept clean of weeds and
grass with a good earth mulch on
the surface, it will improve the
chances of a larger yield, says the
University of Florida extension
division.
But in cultivating late, do not
run the shovels too deep; neither
should the rows be hilled. Guilt
vating too deep and too close to
the plant will break off the roots
on which it depends to mature it's
crop. Killing or ridging the
rows will have the bad effect of
exposing more ground surface to
the air with a consequent rapid
drying out of the soil.

Every Weed is an Enemy

Every weed is an enemy of the
person who is trying to produce
and conserve by growing a back
yard garden. All these trouble
some plants that gain footholds
in the garden, forage upon the
plant food and water which
should be available to build up
food plants, says the University
of Florida extension division.
They stunt some vegetables by
stealing their sustenance and
crowd out and shade others.
From morning until night
weeds that are allowed to grow in
a garden work steadily against
the interests of the gardener, and
the longer they are left undisturb-
ed the greater becomes their ca
pacity for harm.

Fodder Pulling is Wasteful

If the shortage of labor results
in discontinuing the practice of
fodderfpulling, one great good
will have been accomplished. The
custom, once common in the
South, is giving way to the better
method of letting the whole corn
plant mature for feed, yet a few
farmers are greatly in need of
roughage for livestock continue
the practice.
The University Of Florida ex-
tension division reminds farmers
that they lose nearly half the val
ue Of their crop when they pull
fodder. The fodder is usually
pulled shortly after the ear pass
es the roasting-ear stage. The
ear is not mature then and roots
and stalk can not mature it when
the leaves are gone.
The best method to follow is to
cut the whole plant a little later
instead Of pulling the fodder now.
If the stover is cut when the dew
is off. shocked in small shocks,
and tied well, it will keep in spite
of the general impression that
Florida corn can not be matured
in this way.

VALUABLE BULLETIN
On Preservation of Many Varie-
ties of Fish
MANATEEs RECOMMENDED
Big Fish Heretofore Considered
of Little Food Value are Now
Considered for Use in This Re-
spect.-Will Help Out the Ques-
ton of Meat Shortage.

Will P. Kennedy, Washington
correspondent of the Tampa
Times, under date of the 7th,
writes that paper as follows:
Those interested in the develop
ment of Florida's fishing industry
should write to some member OF
the Florida delegation in congress
for copies of bulletin 635, publish
ed by the U. S. department of
agriculture.
The business of freezing ana

self, when properly handled, re-
ceive the commendation of the de-
partment in this publication,
which covers an investigation of
the industry recently made.
Freezing and freezer storag-
will hold fish for many months in
the condition in which they were
received" says the bulletin, "but
will not repair deterioration due
to previous heating or mishand-
ling.
Properly frozen fish reach the
retailer in excellent condition. He
should keep them hard frozen un-
til they are sold. The practice of
thawing fish by warming or in wa
ter greatly lessons their food val
lie and flavor.
Chemical analyses show no
significant changes in fish held 81
months, or for a period much
longer than would be necessary or
profitable in storing fish CONNER
cially."
Recent experiments concluded
in the department show that fish
have high food value, and de-
serve an important place in the
dietary. These experiments are
described in bulletin 649. "Ex-
periments on the Digestibility of
Fish"
The manatee is discussed in the
following, clipped from the
Times Union.
''It is known that fish ranks in
protein-body building and main
tanning power-with meat. 1t
lacks only in fat, except in the
salmon. Florida is favored in re-
spect to variety and quantity of
fish beyond any other equal area
in America" says the state mar
keting bureau.
Many varieties of big fish,
heretofore considered of little val
lie for food, are now considered
of use in this respect The short
age of meat and the high cost of
feed have caused an investigator
to set forth in a recent issue of the
American Journal of Heredity
few facts wherein he calls atten-
ton to an animal, the meat of
which is said to be appetizing, a
consumer of food which has hith-
erto not been utilized; one that
does not occupy land suitable for
cultivation, and is easily tanned.
This is the manatee of southern
Florida, scientifically named Trl-
chechuS Latirostris. There are
two other species of manatee
known besides that which inhab-
its Florida, one along the South
American coast-where its veal
like skin and oil are priced by the
nativeS-and the other along the
Indian ocean shores of Africa. All
are quite similar. It's name comes
from the Spanish word manati,
which means big beaver. A fine
specimen of the manatee can be
seen in the collection of the fish
commissioner at Tallahassee. and
one of Florida'S counties bears
that name.
According to DIR. Alexander
Bell, these huge inoffensivc

FLOUR SUPPLY SHORT
PEOPLE ARE WARNED
Of the Necessity of Using 1t Very
Sparingly
ADMINISTRATOR BEACHAM

els Short.-War Teaches Valua-
BILE Lesson in Economy and
Thrift.
"There is no use trying to
dodge the facts in regard to the
wheat flour supply in this coun-
try" says Braxton Beacham,
Federal Food Administrator,
Florida.
Statements from Washington
based on a thorough investigation
OF the wheat supply of this coun-
try, shows that we have about
twenty-six million bushels of
wheat to do what eighty million
bushels formerly did. The propo-
sition is simply this: The people
of Florida have got to accept this
shortage of wheat -four with what
has been termed as 'sacrifcial
conscience. In other words they
have got to become imbued with
the spirit of sacrifice from win
thewar' standpoint. The pres
ent accured shortage did not
reach us without warning. Food
Administrator Hoover saw it ap-
preaching months ago. perhaps a
year ago, and he has been con-
Itinually urging further and great
er conservation of our wheat
-four.
Il am proud to say that Flori-
ola has responded nobly to this
call. am proud of the people
am honored in representing. /
firmly believe that we have been
observing all the rules and regu-
lations fully as well as any state
in the union, and / have been
loath to place any greater re-
strictions on the people of this
state than were necessary to bring
about the ultimate results expect
ed of us.
Dut l want TO impress upon
every consumer and every mer-
chant in the state of Florida that
we must be absolutely infexible
In carrying out the further con-
of our supplies of wheat
Hour. This must not be taken as
a reason for any argument on the
part OF the people, consumers. or
merchants. I'VE must accept II as
a fact and as a condition over
which we have no control; and
IN facing it, we must not lose
sight OF the end to be accomplish
ed by calm, determined accent
ance of conditions, and a deter
to meet those conditions
with the strength that is necessa-
ry to overcome them.
my office has been flooded
with requests for special permis-
sions, which | am authorized TO
grant, and which enable mer-
chants and others to perhaps de-
tend themselves against the pres
ent shortage to some extent. In
this connection, I wish to saw TO
the people that shall give no
special permissions of any kind
for transactions in wheat flour. 7
nave suggested to all merchants
that they only sell their wheat
hour when they sell their substi-
tutes, and ] cannot undertake 70
give permission for some mer-
chants to sell -four against anoth-
er man s stock of wheat flour sub
stltutes. There is sufficient de-
mand today for all the -four that
can be placed on the market and
those who have overstocks Of sub.
stltutes should increase their ef-
forts to sell those substitutes rath-
er than attempt to get flour as a
medium for disposing of other
stocks.
