RESPONSIBILITY. PLACED.

The appeal made by Major Ralph
Greene, of the Florida State Board of
Health to the members of the Kiwanis
and Rotary Clubs. and their prompt
response. in pledging their utmost sup
port to compel the city officials to
clean up Pensacola and keep it clean,
is another forward step in the eradi-
cation of disease in this city.
That the city officials have failed in
their duty, is self evident. 1t is not
enough for them to declare that they
have done their best" and they are
short or have failed not
through negligence but because of GER
tain conditions they have not been
able to overcome.
Men and measures are not judged
by their intentions, but by their re-
suits. People are not interested in the
why of failure; what they are inter
eested in, is the over coming of diff
culties.
The City officials were placed in of
flee in Pensacola to perform certain
duties. And they have failed most
lamentably in the duty of keeping this
city in a sanitary condition. The fact
that the summer has been an unusually
healthful one has been due not to
their efforts, but to good fortune in
having the assistance of the United
States public health service, and the
state board of health.
1t is time for active steps towards
sanitation; not a time for excuses and
equivocation. 1t is a time to battle,
not to shirk.
Pensacola is face to face with one of
the most serious problems, If not the
most serious, which has ever been en-
countered. The city official RESPONSE
BILE for the failure of the city to cope
with the sanitation problem, declares
himself willing to do everything in
his power" and says that he has been
trying to clean up" ever since ne
took the job of Police and Health
Commissioner.
The fact that conditions here, par
ticularly in connection with the jails
are the result of long and continued
neglect, does not argue for any very
ardlsous efforts on the part of any of
the city or county officers.
But there is no time now for recrim-
ination and invective. The time is
here for action. and rapid action, at
that. Dr. Greene declares that the
state board of health cannot interfere
in Pensacola In enforcing rat proof
ing and garbarge protection. That
this is a matter for the citizens and
their officials, and that there can be
no loop-hole of escape from their re-
sponsibilities.
Among the city officials there. has
been evidence of a desire to pass the
buck" laying the blame of neglect on
anything or anybody convenient. The
statement of Major Green is straigt-
forward, and directly lays the blame
where it belongs,-on the city officials.
Further neglect to compel obedi-
ence to the law, may mean the quar-
antining of this city. If this should
be the result, the city officials would
be directly responsible.

Press Comment
The Main Election Foress1 adows
Nofhipo

Undoubtedly the result in Maine will
be hailed by republicans, all over the
land as the precursor ofaa great repub-
hcan national victory. We endeavor-
ed to show Monday why there was no
justification for so regarding it. Maine
is normally a strong republican state
The old fetish that it has any influ-
ence up on the national result has
long since been disregarded. 1t re-
ceived a body blow in 1916, when
Maine went republican by a majority
of 1888, End Woodrow Wilson came
within that narrow margin of carrying
the state, and was triumphantly
elected by the nation at large. Now
that Maine has gone republican by
nearly $1,000 majority, does not prove
anything except that its people are
going back to their first love, getting
back to the Sheltering wings of the
old party where they feel more at
home. 1t is chiefly notable for the
fact that a great many women voted

parties sent their biggest and best
speakers into the state to. discuss the

and Coolidge, spoke in the state, and

every angle.
The result was not encouraging;
the women of Maine evidently voted
with their men, and the old time re-

South s Tobacco Crop
Is About Harvested;
Price Was Satisfactory

! two distinct types are grown in bSth
states, the cutting is going forward
| rapidly, especially in the Burley dis
tricts. Burley is generally harvest
ed ard hung in the barns before the
| dark tobaccos are cut; it natures a
little earlier and can stand barning
in a greener stage, being Of lighter
texture and having less sap and oils.
Very seldom is a fire ever lighted

growth is hung and muggy weather
sets in for a long time, and. is used
only to prevent barn-ournlng, and

About December 1 this crop will be

prises about one-fourth of the state,
the loose-leaf markets will open and
the tale will be told. A larger acre

| sold than was sold last year. The
seNon so far has been good for ma
turing and cutting and the crop has
gone into the barns in excellent con-
dition, except where disease has af-
fected the yield and quality.
In both states the dark or fire
cured tobacco was reduced in acre
| age, but owing to late rains, has
made a good yield. This tobacco is
hung in close or tight barns and
cured with smoke or hardwood, just
as bacon is cured. Besides the rap
| ID drying of the leaves, the effort is
| to get all the creosote into the tex

grained, it takes. up a lot of smoke.
This all goes into foreign trade.

Night-riders are busy in the cot

threatening and terrorizing with a
view to coercing growers not to mar

ciany inflated price is brought about
and the Wheat Growers association
of the United States, composed of
10000 farmers, are launching a bold
project of cons piracy to hoard wheat
until SO a bushel can be realized.
Nothing could be more futile, moth
ing more untimely, nothing more
fraught with danger to the conspira-
tors. Leaving aside any ethical or
legal considerations, such action is
tragically short-sighted since it is
bound to fail.

NEW FACTS ON
CRIMSON CLOVER

Following is the Introduction to a
new federal bulletin on crimson
clover, issued by Department of Ag-

Crimson clover is a handsome
fa1l-planted annual, widely cultiva-
ted in the Middle Atlantic and South
eastern States for forage, a cover
crop. and green manure.
Crimson clover is commonly sown
in corn at the last cultivation. If
the soil is heavy, better practice
is to SOW after a crop of small grain
or on other land which can be spe-
cially prepared.
Crimson cover will grow on poor
er soil than most cloVerS and is not
particularly dependent upon lime.
For this reason it has been widely
used for restoring the productivity
of soils which have been abused. A
more important function is to main
tain crop yields on soils which are
already moderately rich.
crimson clover Is the killing of the
young stands by drought. This is
best prevented by the preparation
of a fine, moist and firmly compacted
seed bed.
August and September are the
best, months for sowing crimson
clover, the exact date depending up
on the condition of the soil. Either
hulled or INHALED seed may be
used, the latter giving somewhat
greater certainty of a stand.

with a nurse crop of buckwheat or
cowpeas, to protect it from the sun

Corn Disease

Brown spot of corn is present
throughout a large part of the corn

mountains. The disease is caused by
a minute fungous parasite. Damage
may amount to 10 per cent, but is

sanitation, crop rotation, and seed
selection are recommended by the
United States department of agricul-
ture as an aid in controlling the dis
