In a statement prepared last
week o. w. Anderson, County
Agricultural Agent, laid out pro-
gram whereby county farmers can
save up to 4O,000,00O lbs. of grain
and still make a profit for them
selves by eliminating waste.
Mr.. Anderson first cites the
control of parasites by spraying
cattle against lice which cause cat
tie to lose weight while consuming
heavily of feed. Farm Bureau
DOT Spray Service is available at
cost and should be applied before
Christmas. He estimates a saving
of ~ lbs. of grain per day for
each of the county's q 900 head of
livestock. Over a period of 1870
days, 100000 pounds of grain
would be saved.
Poultry, if sprayed for lice and
worms, will eat less grain and
produce just as efficiently, Mr..
Anderson said. A "a ounce saving
of grain on 100000 poultry for 1865
days woulud result in a saving of
2,433,000 pounds of grain.
If the county's 4,378 head Of
horses were treated for worms,
Mr.. Anderson advises, three
pounds of grain per animal per
day could be saved during the next
1870 days or 1884 900 pounds.
Mr.. Anderson suggests that
farmers follow efficient culling
practices in disposing Of poor pro-
ducing dairy cows. He estimated
1000 cows might be eliminated
from county herds which would re-
suit in saving of LAO, 1000 pounds
of grain. At the same time, II
10000 Improbable birds were
cnlled from county flocks, a saving
Of 1,825,O0O pounds of grain would
result.
If more and better roughages
were substituted for part of the
grain in dairy feed, 4,6S0,00O
pounds of grain could be conserved
during the next 1870 days, at the
rate Of two pounds per day for
each of the county's 10000 pro-
ducing animals.
By using high quality roughage,
particularly lespedeza hay, it is
estimated 2 pounds of grain per
day could be saved in feeding
calves and heifers, which would
result in a saving Of 100000
pounds Of grain on 1000 head.
Mr.. Anderson advises that coun-
ty farmers use good legume hay
and tankage along with grain for
hog feed. This would save lh
pounds of grain per day for 16,508
hogs for 1870 days = a 4,457 900
pound saving. By selling hogs
when gains slow down, at IT'S
pounds instead Of 225 pounds, an
other 100000 pounds Of grain
could be saved.
In discussing beef cattle, Mr..
Anderson suggested that good
roughage be substituted for grain
as winter feed for the county's
10000 head. A saving Of 2 pounds
a day for 1870 days would result
in total Of 100000 pounds. In
addition, he said beef producers
should not overstock so as to as
sure a good supply Of pastures
next year. If cattle we're sold off
pasture, it should mean a grain

THE PARK DEAL

Attorney J. Tom Watson has sent
The Citizen the following editorial from
the Miami Beach Evening Sun to explain
his side of the Everglades National Park
dispute. and, in fairness to him, The Citi-
zen hereby reproduces the editorial.
Attorney General j. Tom Watson greatly
clarified his stand on the Everglades park matter
In his talk Thursday before the Miami Beach
Kiwans club.
he emphasized that he does not oppose the
establishment of the park, although he questions
the wisdom of having "such monstrosity in such
an inaccessible place"
But he does oppose the yielding of the states
oil and mineral rights to the federal government
in exchange for the creation of the park. He
terms the legislative act giving the trustees the
the right to waive the oil rights is "a bad law"
and question its validity.
He took issue with persons who have insisted
the states oil interests are protected. ASSERTING
they refer to transfer back in 1914 and to the
transaction made this year under the new law
by which the government had accepted the terri
tory free and clear of the reservation of OIL gas
and mineral rights"
Value of the attorney generals argument lies
IN his conviction that the Everglades is poten-
tial oil area. He spoke of the large areas already
under lease and under exploration by rich oil
companies which do not spend money on expert
ments without good reason to believe oil is some
where around
Watson's fight may be futile, but if there
is any possibility of oil in substantial quantities
in Florida it Should not be bargained away. sure
ly the federal government would create the park
on its merit without looting clause in the con-
tract.
Watson charges some of the states largest
newspapers are misinformng the people on the
issue. If this is true he is rendering service by
reaching the public with his own account of what
has been done to state by the interior de-
partment

NOBODY CAN TELL

r. L. Frost, in charge of the local
Weather Bureau, was in The Citizen Of
flee talking about hurricans. He remark
ed that no storm had yet been reported
as result of the squally winds in the vicin-
ity of Key West. Then he added:
But nobody can tell when tropical
disturbance is going to develop. Neither
does he know definitely how such storm
forms, though there are many theories
about the way hurricanes originate"
Mr.. Frose was still talking about hur-
ricanes when telephone in The Citizen
office rang. The cali was for him, and he
was told an advisory about hurricane had
been received in his office since he left
there to come to The Citizens office.
That bears out what was saying"
he remarked when he was told about the
hurricane center that had been located
$50 miles west-southwest of Key West
Seminole Indians as The Citizen read
ers may recall, said few weeks ago that
no hurricanes would occur this season in
this area. They based their conclusions
on the heavy rainfall during July.
A few days before they made their
prediction, The Citizen had said editorially
that no condition of Immediately preced-
ing weather, dry or rainy, unusually warm
or unusually cold, in any way affected the
chances of hurricane occurring or not
occurring in any given season.
Official Weather Bureau data were
produced to show that hurricanes have oc-
Cured in this area during dry seasons and
wet seasons and also when rainfall and
temperature were normal.
Past performances clearly prove that
it is Just as Mr. Frost remarked, Nobody
can tell when tropical disturbance is go
ing to develop"
