GOOD ADVICE

1 Secretary Meredith of the Agricu-
tural Department. in addressing the
Merchants Association of New York,
threw out the following good advice:
81 think it is poor advertising to be
talking all the time about the waste,
graft and soft snaps. heard lady
say the other day that there were
things they did not discuss in her
family before the children because
they were too young to understand,
and that she thought it was wrong
for US in America to be complaining
about the government, to be saying
that this man is inefficient, or that
one is grating. There are some
people who might believe you mean
it; there are some foreigners who are
not acquainted with our ways over
here, and he hears you and goes out
and repeats your statement to others.
How many of us simply fall into the
habit of complaining and criticising!
1t is poor advertising. Don't do it."
Reports of March /, indicate that
Florida farmers have over five mil
lion bushels of their last years corn
crop left on the farms on that date.
This is forty one per cent of last
years production and shows slight
gain over preceding years both in
the percentage and quantity remain
ing on the farms on March 1.
Last years total production of corn
was law in parts of the state on ac-
count of damage to the crop from
flooding rains and the fact that a
larger per cent than usual remains
on the farms at present is due to the
substitution Of other crops for part
of the corn in feeding farm live stock.
Another measure which is saving
corn for our farmers is the rapidly
growing protection of the crop against
weevil damage by fumigating.
For the United States about 81 per
cent Vi last ySci . SAOp 1Sludlno Oh LIZ
farms.
| 1t is estimated that eighty two per
cent of Florida's 1919 corn crop was
of merchantable quality and that
about nine per cent was shipped out
of the county where grown.
Florida has sixteen per cent of her
last years oats crop left on the farms,
amounting, if threshed, to about 1872
900 bushels. This is much the largest
amount Of oats ever carried over to
this date. For preceding year the es-
innate was 100000 bushels.
| A very small part Of the oats crop
amounting to about two per cent, is
shipped out of the county where
grown.
For the United States, thirty four
per cent Of last years crop remains
| on the farms and over thirty two per
cent was shipped out of the county
where grown.
Florida farm work is somewhat de-
layed by unusual February weather.
AS a result of the record breaking
rains and cold weather Of last month,
a smaller percentage than usual #
blowing had been completed by March
j.
Spring planting has also been de
layed but it is generally felt that,
with favorable weather during March,
the prospects are unusually good for
staple crops.
