LEADS IN AGRICULTURE.

/ Not the least important phase of the
pea nut business in Florida, is that OF
feed for stock, particularly hogs
When it is realized that at the state
flair last year one million dollars worth
| of stock was exhibited, and that ninety
| per cent Of that stock was Florida
bred one may get some idea OF what
| II will mean to Florida to get stock
| feed, such as that which is made by
a combination of peanuts and corn,
said to be one of the best fatteners,
producing the firmest of meat for the
market.
S. w. Hiatt, publicity agent for the
peanut growers, in speaking of the op-
portunities that Florida has, agricul-
turally, said recently: There are few
people in the state who have any real
! ization of the vast possibilities OF
/ Florida as an agricultural state. nor
what it means to Escambia county to
be classed as the leading agricultural
county of the state.
FLORIDA is essentially an agricul-
tural state. The state fair ranks at
the very top, with agricultural fairs of
the country; men from Georgia and
Texas. Iowa and Illinois, acknowledge
this to be a fact. When Escambia
went over to the state fair and car
ried off third honors, it was no mean
Accomplishment. But when this county
carried off the blue ribbon last year 1T
meant that it was the leading agricul-
tural county in a state that is chiefly
Agricultural, at the fair that is acknowl-
edged to be one of the best in the fair
circuit.
..The Importance of county and state
fairs cannot possibly be exaggerated.
When A. p Anthony appeared before
the appropriations committee of the
1919 legislature he brought out some
interesting points in relation to farm
ing and stock-raising in Florida.
Among other things, he said:
1--WE are all working hard to make
Florida one of the greatest live stock
producing States in the Union. / want
to call your attention to the fact that
Iowa, generally recognized as the
greatest live stock state in the coun-
try, has the best State Fair in the
business. Stockmen travel from Flor
ida. Texas. Maine and Oregon to at
tend the Iowa State Fair. From the
standpoint of improved live stock I
can say without successful contradic-
ton that the Iowa State Fair has made
Iowa. In Florida we have an oppor-
ftunity superior to that of Iowa"
We want to stimulate the production
of high class pure bred live stock. but
we cannot do 1t successfully without
the aid of the county and State Fairs.
To stimulate greater effort in pro-
duction we must have public contests
and competition, and the farmers of
the state must meet together to talk
over things together and to formulate
plans for better agricultural and stock
raising methods.
Florida, and particularly this part of
the state, is admirably adapted to
stock-raising. Both corn and peanuts

best of pasturage is obtainable.
Anyone who chooses to do so. by
taking an occasional day off and visit
ing some one of the many fine farms
that are springing up in all parts Of
the county, will soon come to a real
ization not only of the great oppor-
tunities which are presented, but how
blindly we are allowing thousands of
acres of tillable land to be neglected.

MODIFICATION OF
 NT|-RED BILLS SEEMS PROBABLE
CRepubIican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Returning of pending anti-sedtion bills to the house Judiciary committee for modifi- cation of provisions, attacked as too drastic, was indicated tonight as the probable action of the rules commit tee which closed it's hearings tonight on the application for a special rule to expedite passage of this legislation.
 The rules committee is expected to make it's decision next week. but com mittee members said the protest that had arisen against both the Sterling senate bill and the Graham house measure made it appear necessary that they should be modified either by the judiciary committee, which framed the house measure, or upon the floor of the house.
 Three witnesses were heard today, Jackson H. Ralston. counsel for the American Federation of Labor and the National Popular Government League, opposing the bills and charging At torney General Palmer and the de- partment of justice agents with viola tions of constitutional rights in con- nection with some phases of the cam paign against radicals; while Repre- senatives Blanton, democrat, Texas. and Davey, democrat, Ohio, urged en- actment.
 Blanton declared congress must squelch anarchy" and attacked Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amerf- can Federation of Labor, and the labor department which, he said was honey combed with anarchy
 If the sedition law failed, he said, congress would bear the mark of having bowed to Gompers' will"
 Ralston sought to discuss activities of the department of justice and as- serted four men had been arrested and detained a week without warrant in connection with the bomb explosion at Attorney General -Palmer's home here last May.
 ''rhe attorney general has violated the constitution" Ralston added when questioned, that This subordinates have done so and the attorney general has had every opportunity to know they did it.
 Nobody has been arrested in con- nection with the bomb outrage at Palmer's home.' Representative John son. republican, South Dakota said
 -Four men were arrested and de- tained a week." Ralston replied.
 That doesn't affect the merits of this bill. We are wasting time," John son replied.

DESCRIBES SPHERE OF. ARMY AND NAVY IN FUTURE PLANS

WASHINGTON. Jan. 22.-Several railroad mounts for fourteen-incii naval rifles, manufactured by the navy department during the war for it's use in France. and some Of which saw ac- tual service on the western front with special gun crews, have been formally transferred to the army on recommen- dation of the joint army and navy board. To reach its conclusion the board prepared a statement of policy on the functions of each service and of the marine corps which. approved by both secretaries, was made public by the war department today and which will govern in futuse plans and op- erations.
 Under naval functions" the board assigned to the battle fleet the mis- sion of keeping the seas open to ships of it's own flag and closed to enemy craft.
 Such security of vital lines of com munication can be obtained usually" ;" the board added, "only by decisively defeating the enemy main fleet or cap turing it."
 Army functions were described as repelling attack and operating offen- sively against enemy vital interests or territory when thenavy had controlled lines of communication and relieving marine attachments at advancebases seized by the fleet.
 From a view of these functions. the board drew the policy that handling artillery on shore, except such as might be landed from ships of the fleet or part of an advance base equip ment, was army function.

EX-kA|SER GETS SYMPATHY IN NETHERLANDS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

THE HAGUE, Jan. 4.-The Dutch government and the former German emperor have settled down to await tho allies next move. Only one Dutch newspaper, the Ams terdam Telegraaf. went beyond the approval of the gov ernments action, and while heartily approving the stand on national honor said
 Sentiment for the former kaiser here is below zero and we believe that a small number of Dutchmen would have been hurt if he had been called to account in some way or other for the terrible responsibilities which rests upon him. The Dutch people do not feel like standing as a bulwark about the former kaiser. and the best of our governments note is it's total absence Of sympathy for the accused"
 The Brussels newspaper, LNacion Beige, has commented bitterly on the refusal, saying in effect that Holland thereby proves herself, as always, a friend of the German junkers and an enemy of the entente.
 Holland meanwhile is going forward with her plans to join the league of nations. The press indicates that not much opposition is expected and that parliament probably will vote Hollands participation with little dissension.
