Early completion and operation of the

''I believe a small Council will re

more keenly than is the case with a

Good Blood Will Tell

The Importance OF blood as well
as feed in hogs was recently DEM
,onstrated in the returns for car
of hogs shipped from Trenton in
Alachua county.
Thirty-seven pure bred and
high grade Duroc Jersey hogs
weighed 1896 pounds when un-
loaded at the stock yards, show
ing a gam of As pounds over the
weight recorded at the loading
station. These hogs sold for $13
per 100 pounds.
Thirty-three mongrel hogs ship
ped in the same car weighed $3.50
pounds at the stock yards, show
ing a loss of 205 pounds from the
weight recorded at the loading
station. These hogs sold for on
ly 81 to $3.50 per 100 pounds
County Agent G. d. Gum, says
that these hogs were all peanut
fed and raised on adjoining farms,
the only difference being in the
breeding or stock" of the two
lots.

Just What We Tried to Say

To our mind, it is not compati-
BILE with morality that the present
movement for the correction of So
cial disease should be so crudely
aired in the public press. 1t is a
subject that needs the most care
full direction in its presentation.
To preach it through the press
seems to us to be equivalent to
hurting a bundle of barbed arrows
into the air. Until we are con-
vinced otherwise, the columns of
the Commercial will remain closed
to the stuff that is being sent us
from several sources. Following
the bell wether is not our long
suit, anyway, and certainly we
may ask to be advised of the psy-
chology of the publicity end of
that work before we throw our
columns open to publicity that
fairly reeks with danger unless it
is more intelligently directed than
appears on the surface. Lees

panion crops in Florida ara vol
vet beans, cowpeas, beggarwcel
peanuts, and native grasses. in
some lands practically all +besn
VIII grow, SO in that case if IS a
matter OF selecting the one most
profitable. i'''
LII is OF course desirable TO have
legume crops where they are
practical; however on some lards
other crops do better, and will
return more to the soil. Where
lands do not give satisfactory
yields OF legumes, it is usually
due to a lack Of drainage and
humus.
Among legumes the most gen
eral are velvet beans and cow
peas; however these are not al
ways the best to plant. For in
stance, IN the st. Johns county
Irish potato section, velvet beans
have not been very important
crop, as they do not fit into the
system of farming as well as cow
peas. In ether sections farmers
hesitate to plant cowpeas be-
cause of the possibility of filing
the soil with root knot, and in the
same sections velvet beans are
mot altogether satisfactory, as
they do not ripen early enough to
permit of cultivation in time TO
prepare the land for fall crops
In these cases the grasses and
beggar weeds do better than eth
er the velvet bean or cowpea
crops.
On the dried lands where it is
best to plant corn in wide rows,
the universal practice of planting
velvet beans or peanuts between
the rows is a good plan, The dis
lance given the corn allows it
enough moisture to carry it
through the ripening period, and
after the corn IS matured the vel
vet beans or peanuts have plenty
of time. OF course planting corn
in wide rows will not give the
heavy yields, but on such lands
the total yield from the velvet
beans or peanuts will be very
much greater than the corn alone
lif the corn is planted in narrow
rows.
In some sections of the East
Coast, the native weeds, such as
Spanish needles, give a much
heavier growth than any other
crops mentioned above. While
they have very little value as feed
they add much humus to the soil,
which is particularly valuable.
Under any circumstances, Flor
ida soils should have a cover crop
to follow corn. The cover crop
protects the soil from the direct
rays of the sun and prevents rap
id evaporation during hot weather
and above all adds humus to the
soil. Where these crops are neg
Iccted the fertilizer must be ap
Dlied from some other source II
order to produce good crops.

PROPOSES UNCLE SAM
SHOULD FINANCE LIBERIA

London, May 2S.-Proposal that the
United States alone should under
take the whole responsibility of the
finances of Liberia is made by c. ID.
B. King, Secretary of the State and
President-elect of Liberia, who is
visiting here.
Mr.. King said the negotiations for
a laon of $5,OOOOOO from the United
States government to Liberia had not
been completed. At present there was
an International receivership to which
Great Britain, France and the United
States were parties. CAS- this loan is
to be used in paying aft the existing
international obligations" said Mn.
King, "it will necessarily follow that
the United States government will
undertake the whole responsibility to
administer our finances. Negotiations
on these points are now proceeding
between the American, British and
French governments and there may
withdrawal of Great Britain and
France from the international re-
ownership in it's present form; as the
receivership has not worked altogeth
er satisfactorily.
at would simply mean that in
stead of our having financial repre-
sentatives of three powers assisting
us in applying our finances to the
needs of the country we would have
one set of officers and those nominal
ed by the United States government. -
Mr. King expressed pleasure over
the fact that the British and French
colonies in West Africa proposed to
bar out the use of alcohol as a
beverage. I'VE in Liberia are in
cordial agreement with this policy.
he said, land the adjoining countries
may depend upon it that if they de-
eide to apply prohibition, Liberia will
work with them Loyalty and thorough

Concerning the condition of the
people of the negro race in America,
Mr.. King said: IF there are in the
United States still any people OF
negro descent who are dissatisfied
with their position there, Liberia
stands open to them as home and
as an opportunity for the develop
ment of their national DESIRES
