1t costs four cents per acre, labor
included. to treat wheat or oats for
the control Of smut. Ten per cent
smut in field will mean loss OF
from three to five dollars an acre.
Many fields in Colorado last year, the
seed for which had not been treated,
showed more than 20 per cent smut.
Thus an Investment OF four cents per
acre yields returns of from three to
ten dollars per acre. Does IT pay to
treat your seed grain?-Colorado Ag-

The American Wooden Company. in
New England, is one OF the largest m
dusfries Of its kind In the world. Its
products 60 into the manufacture OF
clothing. AS everybody Ii more or less
interested in the prevailing prices OF
clothing, the annual report for 1919, OF
this particular manufacturing company
Is Of more than ordinary concern. In
this report the American Wooden
Company takes credit for total OF
net profits. less reserves for taxes and
contingencies. in 1919, Of $t55f3.4f5.
Payment OF dividends OF $2,800000 on
preferred stock. and $3.200O00 on COM
mon and depreciation Of $3,733,6ii left
q balance of profit OF $5.T9,804. Sur
plus for 1919 amounted to Sf2,0o98O4,
wfinh added to that OF 1913 brings the
total surplus to $3t.754.426. The re-
port further shows that these earnings
by the company show that for the
year ending December 81, 1919. the
surplus after all charges and the fed
eral tax Of Si0.779804 had been paid.
was equal to dividend OF $3.50 q
share on the S2O,OO0.OOO Of outstanding
common stock. against the earnings OF
S5572,5 27 or 1886 on the common
stock in 1918.
You can draw your own conclusion
from these figures as you search your
mind for reasons by which to account
for the present excessive high cost OF
clothing. You will at least agree with
the American Wooden Company's presi-
dent who is quoted as saying to his
fellow stockholders that 1.-THE year 1919
has been successful one" OF course.
he does not say how the buying pub
lie, the purchasers Of clothing, regard
the enormously increased nrofits
which they have helped this company
to pile up. There is, however, a sig
nificant paragraph, further along in
his congratulatory report to his stock
holders, when he says:
Zone Of the features OF the year has
been the great demand for fine wool
and cloth made Of fine stock. This I'M
precedented demand for fine woods has
resulted in tremendous increases in
prices of fine stock. Since February,
1919, prices OF these woods have risen
80 to 40 per cent and at the close OF
the year were still advancing"
The colored Individual in this parti-
cular wood pile seems to be the wearer
of ''fine stock" clothing who encour-
ages the manufacturers to devote their
the same time accumulate millions OF
profits out of the selling prices. Then,
too, while President Wood makes
mention of wool prices advancing Sc to
20 per cent during the past year he
makes no reference to the COMPARE
tive increase in the profits OF his
company, equivalent to 1885 share
on the common stock in 1918 and S38.S9
in 1919. This is the gentleman, by the
way, who several months ago opened
stores at which his thousands OF en-
ployes might purchase bread at cost in
order, as he said. to escape being made
victims of profiteers. Here again you
can draw your own conclusions.-Flor-

One of the first undertakings Of the

now fully organized and ready for

and Pensacola should not fail to get
some excellent publicity through this
source
Pensacola is the greatest fishing CEN
ter in. the state. and for years has been
the South's greatest fish market. par
ticularly for Spanish mackerel. POM
pano and red snapper. The sport OF
red snapper fishing is hard to beat
These fish ares caught with hook and
line, and are among the gamest fish
in Florida waters.
1t is an experience never to be for
gotten to pull in these fighting red
beauties, and a catch is seldom less
than a boat load. for when the right
place for snapper fishing is struck
they may be pulled in as fast as one
may throw in the line. and the only
measure OF the catch is the strength OF
the arm.
Up about East Pass good snapper
fishing may be obtained, as well as
leather jackets" or gulf salmon, por-
giles and many other varieties. The
rivers and bayOuS abound in silver
trout and Dream. and in season crab
bing is great sport. =
Pensacola has had all too little adj
vertising OF its opportunities Tor sport,
which are unsurpassed. St. Peters
burg is known the world over for its
fishing and yet st. Petersburg cannot
compare with Pensacola in the oppor-
tunities offered.

possibilities OF Pensacola as a winter
