HODGES In FAVOR
TWO DEPARTMENTS
Shell Fish Commissioner Has No De-
sire to Take Over Fresh
Water Fish.

TALLAHASSEE, May LIN his
message to the Florida legislature
Governor Hardee recommended the
passage of law creating a department
of fish and game with one admins
trative head and bills were introduced
in the senate and house by Senator
Epperson and Representative Parrish
and were approved by the committees
on fisheries and game in both branches
of the legislature with some minor
changes but since their introduction
opinion seems to be divided as to
whether or not one man could give
both game and fish the necessary at
tention without neglecting one or the
other.
The impression has been given that
Shell Fish Commissioner Hodges very
much desired this consolidation in or
der that he might secure for himself
more power and larger salary; when
in fact he had no such desire as in
dicated by the following interview
given out by Commissioner Hodges
this morning:

that he desired a consolidation of the
department of fish, oysters and game

The question is frequently asked how
crten corn should be cultivated. The
answer is that 1t should be cultivated
,'tcn enough to keep down weeds and
u maintain constantly a loose soil
rlulch until the corn has attained it's
growth. a greater number of cultiva
tons will be necessary when rains at
intervals of about a week cause the
surfacc soil to run together and crust.
This crust must be broken and the soil
mulch restored, or evaporation will
soon rob the soil of much of it's mois-
ture. An essential object of cultiva-
tion is to restore the soil mulch as
soon after rain as the condition OF
the ground will permit. If the ground
ccomes hard and baked dry the crop
win suffer greatly and when cultivated
the dirt will break up into clods.
