Prosperity OF Milton.
A glance into the display windows of a number

skeptical of the fact that they do not need to go
cut Of Milton to do their shopping. In fact it is
doubtful II there Is store in West Florida that
equals, range of goods carried quality of goods
and attractive prices some of Millions mercantile
establishments. From country stores such as pre-
vailed here few years ago, Millions progressive
merchants have established metropolitan mercan-
tile houses that not only the pride Of the people
of Santa Rosa county. but would be credit to
any city in the state. This at least two
things first that Santa Rosa people not need to
go out of the county to do their trading as the
progressive business Of Milton offering them
the opportunity of doing their trading right at
home, and second that the people OF Santa Rosa are
not going out of the county to do their trading to
any considerable extent. or else it would not be
possible for the merchants of Milton to maintain

"The only disadvantage | have been

ers are harder TO harvest than acre
for acre of corn. The reason for this
is that there is twice as much TO har-
vest in an acre Of sunfowers than in
an acre Of corn. But when the farm

Best Results

News Notes.
Experiments carried on by the Col
orado Experiment Station this sum-
mer have proved that treating seed
with formaldehyde is very effective in
controlling cereal smuts. These eX-
periments were carried out for the
purpose of determining the best prepa-
rations to use for seed treatment and
the best method of applying them.
Badly smutted wheat, oats, barley
and rye were used in the experiments
Various strengths of copper sulphate

used and these We're applied in several
different ways. The treated seed Were
planted and record made of the
amount of smut in each lot.
The result shows that one pint Of
40 per cent formaldehyde to 40 gal

GRASS

By John J. Ingalls,, the brightest
statesman Kansas ever produced.
Grass is the forgiveness of nature;
hcr constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood. torn with the ruts of cannon,
grew green again with grass and earn
age is forgotten. Streets abandoned
b. traffic become grass grown like ru-
raj lanes and are obliterated. Forests
decay, harTcsts perish, flowers vanish,
but grass is immortal. Beleagured BY
the Sullen hosts of winter, il with
draws into the impngnable fortress of
its subtcrTancan vitality and emerges
upon the first solicitation of spring.
Sown by the winds, by wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle horti-
culture of the elements which are its
ministers and servants, il alters the
rude outline OF the world. Its tenaci-
Gus fibers hold the earth in place. and
prevent its soluble components from
washing INTO the wasting sea.
II inyadcs the solitude of deserts. II
climbs the inaccessible slopes and for
hidden pinnacles Of mountains, modi-
fies the history, character and destiu,t
OF nations Unobtrusive and Ratiehts
il has immortal yigor and aggIk Ssion.
Banished from the thoroughfaresf and
fields, II abides its time to return and
when vigilance is relaxed, or the dy-
nasty has perished, it silently resumes
the throne from which il has been ex-
PEELED, but which it never abdicates.
II beans no blazonry or bloom to
charm the senses, but its homely hue
Is more enchanting than the lily or the
rose.
II yields no fruit in earth or air, and
yet, should its harvest fail single
year, famine would depopulate the
world.

What do we consider the duties of
the government? What ought the
government to do? The answer that
would have been given to the question
by the trainers of. the Constitution
would differ widely from the one that
would be thought necessary today.
Then the activities Of life centered
in the home more than now. 1t was
felt that If the citizen was made Sc
cure from attacks of enemies from
without and from the depredations of
the lawless from within the country;
il the government supervised the man
agement of such property as belonged
to the people as group, and secured
to society the best possible returns
from such property, it had done its
whole duty. II was believed that in
all other fields the individual could Sc
cure to himself the blessings mention
ed in the preamble to the constitution,
or in other words, they would be put
within his reach by the government
when it provided for him security and
mutuality in the enjoyment of the
national heritage.
The great changes in industrial pro-
cesses during the last century have
taken it out of the power of the in
dividual to protect himself against
fraud and exploitation and have wild
ened the field in which the government
must exercise its first great function
the protection of the citizen, hence it
has come about that we feel the re-
straining hand of the government at
every turn.
The government is with us as We
all sit down to eat and when we don
our clothes. 1t dictates how we shall
rear our children and how they shall
be educated. 1t stands beside the
workman at his lathe and when he
labors in the field; it enters the office
and the counting room; it dives into
the recesses of the mine and scars
with the aeronaut in his widest flights
thru the invious fields Of space.
Within very wide limits it is omni-
present, and all because man refuses
to do to their fellow men as they
would men should do to them
II II to many people one Of the
hardest lessons of citizenship to learn
to feel that the restraining efforts Of
the government are benehcieut and
not malign; not only by the exercise
Of III function Of control over the dis
posittoa Of men to over-reach one nm
other can the living conditions Of the
] masses be made endurable.

Thru the collection by county asses
sors of acreage reports for all import
ant Colorado crops, the State lmigra-
tion Department mas been able TO show
during the current year that the acre
age of land in cultivation in Colorado
Is far in excess of what those best in
formed regarding agricultural dcvel-
opmcnt have believed it to be. These
reports show that the area in cultiva-
tin in this state this year, including
native hay. but not including orchards
is approximately 5.500,o00. or fully
100000 acres more than has been
shown by the estimates for any pre-
ccdlng year. The increase in cultivated
area in the state in the past few years
has been so rapid that those whose tash;
il has been to keep records on agricul-
tural development have been unable to
show the full extent of the growth.
The census bureau shows but 2,6l4 900
acres in cultivation ten years ago.
The United States Bureau of Crop
Estimates showed but 100000 acres Of
wheat harvested in the state in 1916,
whereas the records prepared by the
county assessors show that more than
100000 acres was harvested this
year. The records of the same bureau
showed but $1,000 acres of rye har-
vested in the state in 1916, while coun-
ty assessors records show approx
mately $4,000 acres harvested in
1919. Since this was the first year
records of this character were ever
prepared by county assessors, it is
fair to assume that they are not so
complete as they will be in the future.
Data of this character is especially
important in state where agricultu-
raj development is very rapid, as il
has been in Colorado in the past ten
years.

Argument which resolves itself into
cold dollars and cents. The use of an
unnecessary large firc-brand has the
same stunting effect that similar

QUANTITY or HAY sTACR

Field and Farm
The number Of cubic feet figured
FOR a ton OF alfalfa varies somewhat
with different sections Of the country,
and II one wishes TO be as accurate as
possible, il will vary somewhat with
the different cuttings and the condi-
ton Of the hay, the length of time il
has settled. the size of the stack and
otc. Speaking generally, the first cut
ting will not settle so well as the sec
ond and third cuttings. That is, more
cubic feet will be required to a ton
with the first cutting than the second
and third cuttings.
The last cutting generally settles
closer and consequently fewer cubic
feet are required to weigh a ton. In
some sections of the west cube ia
feet, making i22 cubic feet, is figured
for q ton of alfalfa. Generally, how
ever. 4 cube Of eight feet, or 5l2 cubic
feet, IS considered nearer right and
this Is the figure We use here in Colo
rado. With alfalfa or prairie hay
which has been stacked for thirty days
II is usual to compute an eight-foot
cube, or 5l2 cubic feet, as ton. But
when the hay has been stacked for
five or six months, usually a ~ foot
cube or 422 cubic feet, is calculated
for a ton. In old stacks which have
been stacked 4 year or more, seven
foot cube, or 3i3 cubic feet, is allowed
for a ton.
There are different methods N meas
uring a stack. depending upon its
shape and also its size. For a long
stack or rick the usual method is to
throw a line over the stack, measuring
the distance in two or three places,
and using the average from the bot
tom Of one side to the bottom of the
other side; add TO this the average
width of the stack, divide the sum by
four, which equals one side of the
square and multiply the Quotient by
itself, and this product by the length
of the stack. This will give the num-
Der of cubic feet in the stack, which
may be divided by 5l2, 500 or 343, in
order to find the number Of tons.
For small, low ricks, the rule is to
subtract the width from the over, di-
vide by two, multiply by the width and
multiply the product by the length, di-
viding the result by the number of
cubic feet in a ton. There is no es-
established rule for measuring n round
stack, but this one will approximate
the contents of the ordinary conical
form: Find the circumference at or
above the base or bulge at height
that will average the base from there
to the ground, find the vertical height
of the measured circumference from
the ground and the slant height from
the circumference to the top of the
stack.
Multiply the circumference by it
self and divide by 100 and multiply by
eight, then multiply the result by the
height of the base, plus one-third of
the slant height of top. The hay in a
round stack is necessarily less compact
than in rectangular stack, hence a
greater number of feet should be al
lowed for ton; with well settled hay,
probably 512 feet. The rule given
may be also used in measuring any
kind of hay, soLgun, millet or kaffir
fodder in the stack However, for
! sorghum or kaffir only approximate
results may be procured by stack
measurements because the fodder is
apt to vary greatly in weight accord
| ing to the moisture contained.
