PENSACOLA is COOLER

To the Editor Of the Journal:
Admitting that it was some
. what warm in Pensacola Mon
day, yet the highest tempera-
ture for the day according to
the u. s. Weather Bureau was
SS, note in all other Southern
cities the mercury ran higher
I and in our neighboring city
Mobile it was 95. The world
should know that Pensacola
is the coolest and breeziest city
on the Gulf Coast.
There is no question that if
we had an adequate bathing
resort on Santa Rosa Island,
and a good auto road direct to
the Gulf beach Pensacola would
become considerable of sum
mer resort. We've got the fin
est beaches in the U. s. A., but
they are inaccessible. Lets

in control Of both branches of Con
grcss it cannot escape sole response

If the Republican party puts

ousted Democratic party was-less fit
to enact legisla ion, less fit to protect
the Treasury from the onslaughts of

This bonus looting scheme is so en-
tirely without justification, is so vic

GRADY MAN SAYS
POPCORN IS ONE
Of MONEY CROPS
Declares Has $4,000 Worth of Corn
from 100 Acres; Tries First
Crop as Experiment; To
Wait for Advance
Does it pay to raise popcorn?


r. A. Lyle, one of Grady county
leading breeder of fine hogs says
that it does and produces figures to
prove it. While Mr. Lyles time Is
devoted almost entirely to the rails
ing of hogs, he snatches an oppor.
tunity now and then to direct opera
tions on his farm, near Halco, II
miles southeast of here, in the cul-
ture of other growing things than
hogs.
Last spring Mr.. Lyle caused to be
planted 100 acres in popcorn. He
has just finished gathering his crop
and according to his figures at the
market price of popcorn has $4,000
worth of this product in his granar-
les.
Mr.. Lyle states that he has about
1000 bushels of popcorn, which is
an average of 20 bushels per acre
for his crop OF 100 acres. This is
worth, he states, 10 cents per
pound or about $3.50 per bushel,
which would figure that his 1900
bushels would bring $4,000.
Il am not going to sell my corn
now" said Mr.. Lyle. q can get 10
cents a pound for it at present. but
I'm going to hold it until next spring.
believe the price will be Is cents or
better then. There is little or no
more work to raising a crop of pop
corn than the ordinary field corn. II
is more profitable? Well, have
found it that way this year for
have never cashed in $4,000 off 1OC
acres of field corn in my life"
