just to the extent that farmers
have cooperated in furnishing
this information and in using the
Governments reports in plan
ming and growing their crops and
stock, they have freed themselves
from the wiles Of the speculator
and have been enabled to take adj
of situations where too
much or too little of certain crops
have been produced.
The farmer of the future whom
we now see earnestly at work in
the corn or pig or canning clubs,
is going to be an organized spec
ialist. He will not only know
how to grow two blades of grass
where his Dad raised one, but he
will know just what part of the
world needs that grass and what
it should pay for it.

CROP ESTIMATES
Farmers Should Keep Posted as
to Best Markets

Next to the production of farm
products, and just as important
is the matter Of selling them at a
profit. Sam T. Fleming of the
Florida division of the Bureau OF
Crop Estimates, says that the sue
cessful farmer is not always the
one who raises the biggest crops,
but the one who gets his crops in
to- the best market.
1t is just as necessary for the
farmer to know where his best
markets are and what amount of
competition he is likely to have in
selling his products as it is for the
manufacturer or merchant to have
this information in order to sue
coed.
There is no reason why the far
mer, who feeds the world, should
not know what the world needs
and the price it can afford to pay.
Gradually the system OF col
Letting and sending out informa-
ton on farm products has de-
veloped until at the present time
the Department Of Agriculture,
through the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, keeps the grower posted
on the acreage planted each year
to most of the important crops,
its condition from month to month
and the probable yield that may
be expected, and the number and
condition of each kind of live
stock, as well as numerous other
items Of importance, such as farm
prices, stocks left on farms etc.
This information, which the Blu
reau gets from the growers them
selves in a large measure, Is not
only reliable, but it is the one
source of information which the
grower knows is not prejudlced.

In the interests of Florida be-
coming a sugar producing state,
new publication, the Florida
Planter, has been established at
Fort Myers by the Florida Planter
Publishing Co. The initial num-
Der is devoted to articles on why
sugar must and can be produced
in this state. This publication is
the official organ of the All-Amer-
lean Sugar League, in Jackson
vile, and if it succeeds in its mis-
sion to arouse interest and pro-
mote sugar growing in Florida it
will have accomplished a great
purpose.-Sarasota Times.

SWEET POTATO SHIPMENTS
Keep Potatoes Out of Sun to Pre-
vent Rot

Carload shipments OF early
sweet potatoes was greatly IN
creased this year, especially in
north and west Florida. Crop
statistician S. T. Fleming says the
reports on July l indicate at least
a 10 per cent increase in acreage
over last year. This is for the
state as whole. On this basis
the 1919 acreage will be about
10000 compared with $4,000 acres
in 1918.
While the early crop is about
ready for harvesting, not all OF
the late crop has been set, and
some paintings are still being
made.
District agent S. w. Hiatt is
sending out word of warning to
the shippers of early potatoes,
urging that proper care be given
in digging. Whether the pota-
toes are to be marketed on the To-
cal market or are to be shipped to
a distant market, Immediately up
on digging they should be gather
ed up and put in the shade out Of
the hot sun. Much trouble has
been experienced in the past by
allowing the potatoes to remain in
the field, either on the ground or
in hampers, for several hours af-
ter digging Mr.. Hiatt says that
exposure to the sun for half
hour will often cause the potatoes
to begin rotting within few
hours time. The newly dug po-
tatoes, moist as they are, scald
readily when exposed to the sun,
and rot will begin almost immed-
lately. The best plan is to have
hands follow Immediately behind
the digger, pick up the potatoes
and carry them to a shade, where
they can be properly graded and
packed For the early potatoes,
Mr.. Hiatt advocates marketing
the crop in hampers. The county
agents are assisting the farmers in
seeing that the potatoes are prop
erly graded. Any one wishing
this service can secure it by COM
municating with the county agent.
The midsummer edition of The
Florida Grower is one of the finest

munity who desires copy to send
