COUNTY AGENTS
IN SESSION HERE
This AFTERNOON
Interesting Discussion of Many
Matters Concerning Farm
Progress in Flsrida

A group of prominent officials from
the United States Department of Agri-
culture and from the Florida state de-
partment, is meeting in Lakeland to-
day with the county agents of seven
counties Of this section, and an inter
esting meeting is in progress. Such
meetings are being held this year in
several cities of the state, it having
been found that the old plan of divid-
ing the state into only two districts
was more expensive and inconvenient
than necessary.
Those in the party from Washing
ton are ]. A. Evans, Chief in charge of
the extension work for the south H.
E. Snavely, agriculturalist and field
agent; H. W. Barber, assistant, and
C. l.. Chambers, assistant Boys Club
agent From Gainesville are c. K
McQuarrie, state agent; E. w Jen-
kins, district agent; H. G Clayton,
district agent; S. w Hiatt, Boys club
agent, while the county agents pres
ent are William CONNIE, Polk county;
H. T. Kelley, Hillsboro county; Frank
G.. Murrin, Pasco county; w. l.. Wat
son. Duval county; H. f. Stevens, Lee
county; j. M. Tillman. DeSoto coun-
", anu w. II. DTlSSSi AdHdIe6 county d.
Most of the group arrived Wednes-
day, and were met by William CONNIE
of Barlow, Polk county agent, who
took the visitors in cars over the Polk
county goou roads through the Scenic
Highlands and other interesting sec
tions. The men were delighted with
this part of the state and especially
interested in the fine groves.
The meeting was addressed this
morning by A. J. Holworthy, secre-
tary of the Lakeland Chamber of
Commerce, who extended a welcome
from the city and asked the men TO
make themselves at home while in
our midst.
The morning session and part of
the afternoon were devoted to hea--
ing the reports of the county agents,
after which the state and national Of
ficials will speak on the general situa-
tion.
The state and national officials are
to leave Lakeland this afternoon for
Sanford, where a similar meeting will
be held

RUSS PEASANTS
MUST PAY TAXES
ON farm PRODUCE

London, March 24-Russial leas-
ants will be required to pay taxes in
produce under the terms of a bill
passed unanimously by the All-Rus-
sian central executive committee, says
a wireless dispatch frcm Moscow.
This will give them the right to dis
pose of surplus produce under a free
trade bill, which is being elaborated
This measure is only temporary,
the diIpatch declares, ard soviet au-
thorities hope this method of paying
taxes to the government will make for
closer union between workers and
peasants. The extreme economic con
dition of the country, it is said, com
pels the soviet government to take
part of the peasants produce as a tax
but as industries develop and foreign
trade increases, the amount of the tax
will gradually be reduced
The dispatch says that progress in
the development of executive machin
cry will permit the government to
give the peasants other goods equiv
alent in value to the amount of their
taxes.

SPRING TERM OF
CIRCUIT COURT
ENDED THIS WEEK
Railroad Wins Case of Charles c.
Wilson, Suing for Damage for
a Broken Hip

The spring term of the circuit court
closed this week, the last case being
that of Charles C. Wilson against the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway. This
grew out of unusual circumstances. 1t
appears that Mr.. Wilson was a pas
senger on an A. c. L. train going from
Tampa to his home at Winter Haven.
and fell asleep on the train, contin-
uing to sleep past Barlow, where he
should have changed cars. At Wau
chula, he was awakened and was leav-
ing the train, when he fell, breaking a
hip. 1t was his contention that the
train threw him by an unreasonable
lurch,' whereas it was the claim of
the railroad that Mr.. Wilson's fall was
caused by his sleepy condition. At
the first trial, the plaintiff was award
ed $1,000 damages. This decision was
reversed by the supreme court and
the case sent back for a new trial In
this trial, just completed, the verdict
was for the railroad.
The cases of local interest at this
term were all continued. Capt. YAM
cey Corter and his son, Gibson, were
each indicted for assault with intent

CZECHO SLOVAK TROOPS MASSING ON
BORDER OF AUSTRIA CAUSES A PANIC
Movement of Ausans Form Connection With Germany May Be
Cause of Renewal of Trouble In Near Parliamentary
Action May Be Taken In Near Future

Vienna, March 244-Rumors that
Czecho Slovak troops have been con-
centrated on the Austrian frontier
have caused panicky feeling here in
view of the internal political condi-
tions in the Austrian republic.
This feeling persists despite re-
ports that the gathering of Czech
troops have been partially denied by
newspaper dispatches.
1t is asserted in certain circles that
the military activity of Czecho Slo-
vakia is due to the marked recrudes-
cence of the movement for fusion with
Germany since the unsatisfactory re-
suit of chancellor Mayr's London
mission has become known. The
Greater Germany party is known to
be planning Interpolation in the ma
tional assembly after Easter, and it
is said it will take the form of a mo.
tion for the passage of necessary leg
islation for an immediate referendum
and resolution notifying the league
of nations that Austria is compelled
to work out her own salvation through
Germany.
1t is understood that the imperial
Democrats will support the Greater

GENERAL WEATHER CONDITIONS

Pressure continues high on the
north Atlantic coast, while the area
of low barometer which was over the
Rocky Mountain region yesterday
morning has advanced eastward over

weather over the Lake region and the
northeastern states.
In the west, the pressure is high on
the Pacific coast, and generally fair
weather has prevailed, except over
Washington, where rain has fallen. 1t
is warmer over the Plateau regions,

today regarding the possibility of a

the United States and Russia as pro.

The text Of the Russian appeal
which was received and given out by
the state department yesterday was
at least received with interest by the
officials. This was based on indica.
tions that they have given the closest
scrutiny to the recently negotiated
Russian-British trade agreement. At
the same time there has been an evil
dent tendency on the part of the new
administration TO interpret with great
er latitude the regulations defining
the policy Of the Wilson administra-
tion in dealing with the Bolsheviki
government.

death of Cardinal Gibbons, which,

he was always appealed to. He was

other circles as we'll. A mass will
be said for the repose of his soul
in St. Joseph's on Monday morn
