FARMERS Get Good Prices For Hogs
The average price paid to Ancrl-
can farmers for hogs in 12lS was
SO ~ per 100 pounds, the rorart-
ment of Agriculture reports.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1919-11-27

the attention of the entire state has turned to
Pensacola through the centennial movement, and
when Pensacola is presenting its claims to the at
tenton of the entire country, it is small triumph
to have won first honors at fair of such scope as
that which is held at Jacksonville.
In attendance at the fair men from all parts
of the country interested in the possibilities for
live stock and agriculture. These men not so
much concerned in what has been accomplished in
Escambia county, as in what is possible of accom-
plishment
The possibilities Of this county have been made
very plain to them, and the proof of what may be
done has received the approval of the judges in the
award of the blue ribbon.
sIn his talk before the business men of Pensacola
recently, Allen Albert, civic expert it his
opinion that country is any greater than its back
country. This is aphorsm old the hills
but it is no less true today than when it was first
minted.
Pensacola needs its back country. And that hint
erland needs Pensacola few farmers and business
men have shown their faith in their section, and the
returns cannot be measured today in dollars and
cents, for the investment in the county fair will pay
dividends in the years to- come which cannot posi-
bly, be computed and to the who responsible
for the success of the exhibit and the publicity that
this county has received, Pensacola is debtor.

1t has already been clearly demonstrated that hog
raising in this section is far profitable than the
raising of cotton Not onl! account of the high
cost of production but the iavages of the boil weeyi
has made cotton raising vey risky and most I'M
certain and doubtful crop. Speaking OF the wisdom
in the substitution of hogs for cotton, and arouslng
farmers to speedily adopt fe change, The National
Stock Reporter says TIE coastal plain OF the
Carolinas Georgia, Florida. Alabama and Mississippi
is destined to one If the great hog produc-
ing of the world. . is being made so and
will be made so by the wsevil. As long as cotton
free from the ravages d this insect it was more
profitable to grow cotton han to grow hogs; and
the cotton and the les hogs it grew. But the
boil weevil changes the situation. Cotton makes
only from onethird to threefourths of crop where
the weevil does its worst, and it ceases to be such
rich source of profit. Primers have to look to
some other kind of farming or be satisfied with a
poorer living else oft into other fields. Here
is where the hog proposition comes in. The sandy
and sandy loan soils make the coastal plain well
adapted to peanuts, and one OF the best ways or
utilizing these nuts is by hgging them off, 1t does
not hurt these soils seriously to root out the peanuts
in the fall and winter months. and the manure and
the vines of the peanuts rdurned to the land add
fertility to the soil that is easily noticeable in the
yield of the succeeding crops"-Santa Rosa Times

The Turkey-Day contest between the
local high school and Barton academy
promises to be a battle royal. Since

Creary and Welsh have recovered from
their injuries and C. Barrow may be
able to go into the game. The game
today marks the close of the season
and it will be the last chance for local
supporters to see c. Creary,
Sheppard, Rosenau, Rec barrow,

Barton and Hi. are well matched and
balanced in weight, speed and train

the execution of the forward pass.

EsCAMBIA WINS BLUE RIBBON

Escambia county has carried off first honors at the
state fair That means that this county leads every
county in Florida in quality and production. 1t
means that the little county fair at Moline represent
ing the faith of few men, surpassed any exhibit at
the state fair in Jacksonville.
At the state fair were exhibits which would have
reflected credit any section of the United States,
but Escamba county led them all.
man interested in port development said yester-
day that Pensacola had back country. The fact
that Escambia county leads every county in the
state, refutes this assertion
Nevertheless. he right in this statement to this
extent: Pensacola lacks developed back country.
Escambia county grow corn that will rival that
of Iowa; rice that will compete with that of South
Carolina: cotton that ranks the rest of the state,
and is of grade which compares favorably with
other cotton producing sections; sugar cane which
Louisiana might be proud to claim; Irish potatoes
which equal those of Hastings in Florida and those
of the states of Maine and Ohio forage that can not
be excelled in any part of the country and staple
crops OF every description; the fair proves this.
Yet as county undeveloped for lack Of faith
in resources.
For it is plain that if crops can be grown in
Escambia which will surpass those of other counties
in the state all the county needs to be developed
Last year Escamba county won more individual
premiums than any other county in the state and
won in points for agricultural exhibits but lost on
points for attractive display. This year Escambia
comes back with first honors. In spite of the fact
that this county did not carry of honors last
year, a tremendous amount of advertising was Sc
cured, for the display the most important from
on agricultural standpoint at the exposition.
This year the exhibit at Jacksonville not only sur
was far ahead of the Escambia county display of
last year.
What this means to this section of the state in
advertising cannot be measured. At this time when

For Prevention of Future Strikes.

The fishing industry at Pensacola has been tied
up for over month now. with considerable loss to
the large shippers engaged in the business there
Like most other Strikes this was without much
cause reason other thin the strikers decided they
wanted more money. As result they have been out
of work and have really felt the loss than the
employers who better able to stand it, In this
case it seems that the fishermen wanted such price
for their fish and their labor that would compel
the shippers to put higher price their products
than the shippers of neighboring centers, which,
naturally, they could not afford to do. Hence the
fishermen struck. The fishing industry has been
markably free from strikes, much more than
most other trades. To prevent future strikes the
shippers of the Gulf Coast should get together in
organization. and work in harmony to project them
selves against just such conditions have been
tarding the business of the shippers of Pensacola
Then the shippers and producers a compact

same time affordng their fishermen uniform and fair

HERE'S A WAY TO
GET YOUR SHOES FREE

The other day paid my winter coal
bill. 1t was tidy bill. I imagine let
was very much like your own bill.
Then I thought of the bills for winter
clothing, especially shoes. That night
1 read in a popular magazine an article
on how to get shoes free. The gist Of
it was to manage your furnace fire so
efficiently that you would save enough
on your coal bill to buy shoes from
the margin.
Last winter the state council of de-
Tense issued some circulars telling how
to manage a furnace to best advantage
for your pocket book. This circular
takes up "Proper Conditions in the
House." "Fuel," and "Care Of the
Heating Plant 1t says the average
household can save more than 20 per
cent of it's fuel bill.
The library Of the State Agricultural
College at Fort Collins, Colorado, still
has some Of these circulars. Iif you arc
interested in your coal bill and that
possible extra pair Of shoes, write for
one.-Charlotte A. Baker, Colorado

Mr.. and Mrs. 8. D. Woodruff and
daughter, Miss Martha, and Mr.. and
Mrs. E. M. Pollard and family left
Monday morning in their respective
cars for California, where they will
spend the winter. The Woodhulls
have been residents of Glenwood for
the past two years, Mr.. Woodruff be-
ing superintendent Of construction of
the federal building. During their
stay here they made many friends who
regret their departure from our city.
The county superintendent has pre-
pared an absolutely up-to-date list Of
text books, representing the newest
and best works Of eight publishing
houses, and has sent a copy to every
district secretary in the county. Up
to the present time five districts have
held meetings and voted to purchase an
entire new set of books and many other
districts have added books from the
list. This is very important step
taken by the county superintendent as
1t is the beginning Of uniform list
Of text books throughout the county.
