They Voted Right

The four congressman from
Florida, under the leadership of
Representative Frank Clark Of
Gainesville as dean Of the delega-
ton, voted solidly against the
Baer seed bill. This carried an
appropriation of 81 100000 to be
loaned to farmers to purchase seed
grain and $2,500,000 for mobiliza-
ton of labor for harvesting these
grain crops. The Florida delega-
ton opposed it solidly because it
was the raWest piece of legislation
put over on an unsuspicious pub
lie for many a day. The Florida
men had a special antipathy, too,
for this measure threatened to
drain all the farm labor out of
Florida. This coming at time
when the Florida representatives
have been negotiating with the de-
partment of labor and immigra-
ton officials for the importation of
labor to harvest their own crops
aroused their ire.-Ocala Star.

TO Prevent Egg Losses

Here are five ways to prevent
spoilage of eggs from heat, the
great enemy of both fertile and in
fertile eggs.
l. Keep the nests clean; pro-
vide one nest for every four hens.
2. Gather the eggs twice daily.
3. Keep the eggs in cool, dry
room or cellar.
4. Market the eggs at least
twice a week.
S. Sell, kill, or confne all male
birds as soon as the Matching sea-
son is over.

Not Wanted Substitutes

Under the above heading, the
Tampa Tribune of last Saturday
has an editorial that furnishes an
answer to q long criticism of The
Herald's position made by the ST..
Augustine Record of the previous
Thursday. From reading the
Tribune's editorial, it will be seen
that The Herald is not the only pa
per that protests against the un-
wisdom of forcing man to buy
ten pounds Of cereals that he does
not want in order to get ten
pounds of wheat -four.
We will say, parenthetically,
that The Herald family are COM
plying with the regulations of the
food administration: their biscuit
are composed of 80 per cent. or
more of corn -four; they are eating
more oatmeal than ever before in
ten years; they have plenty of the
best corn bread you ever saw and
it is prepared in several different
ways, and grits-why, bless you!
did you ever see the breakfast ia
bic of a Florida Cracker" with
out a big dish of grits on it?
But here is what the Tampa
Tribune says:
eve have been struck with the
fact recently that, when it became
our patriotic duty to buy a substi-
tute or substitutes of equal weight
with every purchase of wheat -four
we made, there soon crept onto the
shelves of some merchants certain
substitutes which had never been
popular, and which had slow sale
at the best, and they are now be-
ing practically forced on the peo-
Iple.
I'VE have instances Of needless
purchases of substitutes made by
hotels here, and in other cities,
and the truth of the matter is that
it has worked not only a hardship,
but has proven actually a waste
Of the money spent for them, after
they were bought.
"The Miami Metropolis sug-
gests that the government restrict
the selling of flour as it does the
selling of sugar Really it could
be done, and there seems little
more sense in mixing some cheap
er substitute in wheat -four than
here would be in putting a certain
per cent. of low grade brown
ugar in every hundred pounds of
white granulated sugar. The Me-
tropolis says this on the subject:
3" Just why the government
does not restrict the selling of
wheat flour somewhat like the sell
ing of sugar was restricted, and
let the customer decide for him
self what he would use his grocery
money for, is past the understand
ing of all persons who have ex-
pressed themselves on the matter
to this paper. 1t is certainly not
the intention of the government to
require people to buy cereals they
don't use.
" Perhaps the matter is one
, that should be laid before the food
administration in some authorita-
tive way.

Crop reporters in thirty-six
farm States submitted estimates

number of sheep in those states
could be increased $50 per cent
without displacing other live
stock. Such an increase would

more sheep in these states than
there are now. Of 1,4l1 answers

NAVY NEEDS LARGE FUND

Appropriation Of SEQ, 100000 Re

and Ammunition.

Because the Navy is now receiving
airplanes faster than was anticipated,
the need for new guns and ammuni-
ton to equip these multiplying air
planes has forced the department to
ask for big increases in its appropria-
tions in order to maintain it's flying
corps.
These facts were explained by naval
officers at hearing before The House

gent deficiency bill for carrying on the
war program yesterday afternoon
