CORN CLUB.

as the state champion pig club mem
ber
The two state champions were
wardad prize trips to the international
Live Stock exposition at Chicago and
the county champion pig and corn
club winners were awarded free trips
to the agricultural short course at
Gainesville by Arrnour's bureau of as
ricultural research and economics.
The state champion pig club winner
was Francis McRae of Evinston, who
made a great showing. His record
showed the weight of his pig at the
beginning of the contest to be 129
pounds; at the close of the contest,
S5S pounds; gain in weight, 241; num-
Der of days fed 113; average daily
gain rs lbs; cost per pound of gain, 4
cents.
The purpose of Armour and COM
pany in awarding these prizes is to
increase the knowledge of farm boys
and girls in the state regarding live
stock and crop production and de-
creased cost of production; to stimu-
late an interest In the fundamental
problems and axioms that must be fol-
lowed to promote a sound agriculture,
knowing that upon the prosperity CT
the producer depends the prosperity of
the whole country and all OF its indus
tries.

Members Have Demonstrates That
Florida Can Raise Good Pigs
and Rasie Fine Corn.

The Junior Pig and Corn club mem
bers of Florida have demonstrated TO
the farmers of their state that corn
and pigs can be grown just as easily
and economically in their state as In
the corn belt states. The club MEM
bers grew their corn and fed their pigs
under the direct supervision of State
Club Leader Blackjack, using the
methods OF feeding and growing rec
commended by the State Agricultural
college.
The corn club boys started work last
spring and the pig club members start
ed feeding around August l. The
pigs were fed on a. balanced ration
and given ordinary care. In the foil
these pigs were shown at the county
fair where they We're judged, the win
ners being determined on the basis of
the best type hog, cheapest and most
economical gains, and on records kept
by the member. The winners in each
county took their pigs to the state fair
where the state champion was deter
mined.
The corn club members competed
in county fairs and the state champion
was determined in the same manner

NOT DIFFICULT TO
GET OUT OF DEBT

There are many ways of getting into
debt. but perhaps the easiest way to
get there while you are working hard
TO keep out is to practice the one-crop
method OF farming. The surest way
70 get out and keep out is TO practice
diversified farming.
Ono crop may fail each year but no
year will find failure In all crops.
Practice safety first in your farming.
The agricultural departments of the
University of Florida will help you by
answering your queries and sending
you useful information. And don't
forget TO call upon your county agent.
His services are yours FOR the asking.

| (By Mrs. ]. w. McCoIIunn, president
Florida Federation of Woman's Clubs
! and director of the Florida No
Fence League.)
Especial to The JournaD
GAINESVILLE, March 20. - From
agricultural and Industrial Develop
ment and commonwealth, county and
municipal identifying viewpoints the
most important movement now under
way in Florida, it seems to me, is that
for Inducing the Florida legislature,
which meets in April, to submit to the
people, for vote at the general election
in November, the question of abolish.
ing the free cattle range ana atten-
dant evils. It is needless for me TO
say, therefore, that l appreciate the
fact that many woman's clubs, keep
ing pace with boards of trade ana
other commercial bodies, have strong
" endorsed the movement of the Flor
ida No-Fence league.
1t is no ones desire to work injury
to the range cattle men, who, I am
informed, constitute only about / per
cent of the states population, and I
am sure that no people desire better
ment of live stock breeding and MR.
kettng conditions to greater extent
foremost in no-fence championship.
And, it seems to me, the day long
passed when roaming cattle, hogs and
other animals should be allowed to in
jure farms, groves. gardens, flower
yards and beautiful highways in any
section of the state-when Florida
laws should give absolute protection
to scrawny range cows and razorback
hogs and none against these marauders
to industries that contribute infinitely
more wealth and are a channel for
state Identification and home-bulding
as we'll.
Furthermore, authorities claim that
the Texas fever cattle tick cannot be
eradlcated as long as the free range
evil prevails, and as Louisiana. the
last state in the union to accept Flor
ldas tlcky cattle, has barred them, II
seems to me that the range cattle
men, as wen as men and women en-
gagged IN more important industries
should present a solid front in behalf
OF the proposed change-and particu-
iarly as the Florida Fence league
proposes that abolition of the free
range shall be optional with the va
rlous counties, provided other counties
and parts Of counties are nrotac+ed
In connection with the ravages of the
Texas fever tick, the question Of pure
and impure milk and, therefore, Of
healthfulness, is to be considered.
My hope is that the woman's clubs
which have endorsed the movement
will make their championship active
not passive, and that club members
will, personally and by letter, request
their legislators to vote for submits
sion of the proposition to the people
in November.
