Ranger Warns

Hunters of Fire

Points Out That More Fires Caused
By Carelessness During
November

"As the fall hunting season and
the beginning of the forest fire sea-
son happen to coincide, all sports-
men can help prevent destructive
wild fires by (being careful with fire
while in the woods," County Ranger
H. A. Hardy warns citizens of Gulf
county.
Ranger Hardy said that over 75%
of the fires in Gulf county were
caused by carelessness during No-
vember of last year. The *1950-51
state-wide fire report for lands pro-
tected by the Florida Forest Serv-
ice showed that 97.2% of the wild-
fires were man-caused, with over
30%, of these being caused by care-
lessness.
"Hunters particularly should be
careful because of the effects a
raging wildfire can have upon game.
Game cover is lost, the water in the
woods is affected and natural foods
for game are burned," said Hardy.
"Crush it, drown it, and break it.
Follow these rules and the woods
will be in good shape for next hunt-
ing season, too," added the ranger.
"Crush your cigaret, cigar or pipe
ash dead out. Break your matches
Before letting them fall to the for-
est floor. Drown your campfire or

Our Country 1"9 Right or Wrong

THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW
Notice in last week's Star where City Attorney
Cecil Costin Jr., had been instructed by the city
dads to draw up an ordinance providing for a
fine of $10 for people who drive their cars over
the hose at a fire?
We're against such an ordinance. That $10 fine
doesn't even begin to compensate for the damage
done when a car runs over a high-pressure hose
loaded with water. Present cost of a section of
hose is around $160, we are informed, and once
it has been run over it is practically useless. The
local fire department hasn't the facilities to cut
out the ruined section and replace the couplings,
so the hose has to be discarded.
We suggested to Fire Chief Durel Brigmau
-and he heartily approved of our suggestion-
that instead of a $10 fine that those driving their
car over the hose be required to replace that
section of hose. If a few penalties like that were
to be assessed people would think twice before
running over the hose.

From the Files of The Star

Work May Start On Canal Bridge
The state road department this
week stated that "every effort is
being made to obtain, the' earliest
construction of the canal *bridge at
White City and paving of the six
miles of road north. Steel deliveries
are not available due to priority re-
quirements, however the road will
ibe let about January i." We should
not be too optimistic about work
starting January 1, since that "pri-
ority" alibi will cover almost any-
thing.
Sharks End Season Undefeated
The St. Joe Sharks closed their
10-game season last Friday by de-
feating Blountstown 33-12 to remain
undefeated and untied for the sea-
son. The Sharks are now in posi-
tion to meet the winning grid team
from South or Central Florida. The
local lads chalked up 333 points in
the 10 games to 56 for their oppon-
ents.
John Larimore Dies
Funeral services were held yes-
terday in Wewahitchka for John
Larimore of White City, who died
at his home Tuesday night.

Miss Lois, Milton, instructor in
the Port St. Joe schools, was mar-

Canadian Mining
The mining industry is Canada's
third largest primary industry from
the standpcit of gross value of
products, agriculture being first
and forestry second. Canada today
leads the world in the production of
nickel, asbestos and platinum, and
is the second largest producer of
gold, zinc, cobalt and aluminum.

AN ACCURATE PROPHECY
'Way back in 1878, during a discussion of the
possible dangers of industrial monopolies, Sena-
tor Benjamin Harvey Hill in the U. S. senate ob-
served: "I have said I do not dread these corpor-
ations as instruments of power to destroy this
country, because there are a thousand agencies
which can regulate, restrain and control them;
but there is a corporation we may all dread. That
corporation is the federal government. From the
aggression of this corporation there can be no
safety, if it is allowed to go beyond the bounds,
the well defined limits of its power. I dread noth-
ing so much as the exercise of ungranted and
doubtful powers by this government. .
"If this great, ambitious, ever-growing corpor-
ation becomes oppressive, who shall check it? If
it becomes wayward, who shall control it? If it
becomes unjust, who shall trust it? As sentinels
on the country's watchtower, senators, I beseech
you watch and guard with sleepless dread that
corporation which can make all property and
rights, all states and people, and all liberty and
hope, its playthings in an hour and its victims
forever."
Senator Hill was a prophet of high order. Dur-
ing the past few years the government has grown
greater and greater, more costly and more costly
-and more and more it has gone beyond the
control of the people. It has undermined the
foundations on which our freedoms rest. It has
come to dominate our lives in a thousand ways.
That is the trend which, unless it is checked,
must result ultimately in tyranny-as the whole
history of the world proves.

That boost from ten to fifteen words minimum
for a telegram should please the women folks,
(\since no woman can express 'her opinion in ten
measley words.

Autos are up, taxes are higher, and food prices
are rising. Only pedestrians and consumers are
down.

One thing we can be thankful for-turkey left-
overs won't last from Thanksgiving to Christmas.

Poor Grass-Legume Stands

Often Due to Deep Sowing


Depth of sowing the seed of
grasses and clovers is probably as
important as any other controllable
factor in, obtaining a stand. The pre-
vailing practices of the past have
been to sow such seeds too deep and
thus .prevent maximum emergence
of seedlings and make high rates of
sowing a necessity. Recommenda-
tions in much current literature in-
volve depths which Lre too great
for best results. Since a good initial
stand is necessary in the establish-
ment of meadows and pastures and
depth of sowing is a controllable
factor, it should be given more con-
sideration.
Depth of sowing tests in Ohio
with alfalfa, red, alsike, and crim-
son clovers, white and yellow sweet-
clovers, Kobe, Korean, Tenn. 76,
and sericea lespedezas, timothy,
orchardgrass, and Sudangrass,
showed that more seedlings were
obtained from seed sown Y4 to 1/
inch deep than from surface seed-
ings or seed sown at depths of 1 to 2
inches.
Similar experiments were con-
ducted in Minnesota withive dif-
ferent soil types and with five dif-
ferent legumes and five grasses.
The species used were alfalfa,
sweetclover, red, alsike, and white
clovers, timothy, bromegrass,
crested wheatgrass, reed canary-
grass, and Kentucky bluegrass.
The tests were made under variable
conditions and at depths, of surface,
Yz inch, 1 inch, 2 inches, and 3
inches.
The number of seedlings obtained
from the surface and Y inch seed-
ings were satisfactory for all kinds
in these averaged field tests. Red
c.dver was the only legume with
more than 50, per cent of seedlings
from scw-ing at che 1 inch depth.


Both of these series of tests show
that in regions where soil and amois-
ture conditions approximate those
of the North Central and Corn Belt
States, and perhaps elsewhere,
maximum stands of small-seeded
legumes and grasses are likely to
be obtained by sowing at depths of
/4 to % inch.
Deep sowing also results in de-
layed emergence, weakened seed-
lings, and thin stands which permit
weeds to get an early start and to
compete successfully with the young
seedlings of the meadow crop
plants. If a companion crop is used,
this delay and the stronger, more
rapid early growth of the compan-
ion crop plants result in still great.
er competition for the smaller seed-
lings of the grasses and legumes.
If the depth of sowing which gives
the maximum number of seedlings
is used, it should be possible to ob-
tain a good stand by sowing less
seed per acre than has been used by
most farmers in the past.
Thed problem of sowing seed at
depths of V4 to % inch and not run
the chance of much of it being 1 to
2 inches deep is not simple. One of
the common practices, and about
the only practical one on an uneven
or rough field, is to broadcast the
seed and follow with a drag having
the teeth sloped back. A grass-seed
drill is good but extreme care
should be taken to set it for very
shallow seeding. One of the most
efficient implements for this pur-
pose is the pulverizer-packer grass-
legume seeder. The front rolls pack
the surface soil, at the same time
creating furrows into which the
seed is dropped; the rear roels al-
ternate With the front rolls and
lightly cover the seed and firm the
soil over it.

Time-Conscious Geese
Fool Waiting Nimrods
Thirty-eight hunters who gath-
ered at Crawfordville Thursday of
last week (opening of the hunting
season) with anticipation of taking
home a goose or two today are of
the belief that geese carry watches.
The hunting season was due to
open at noon, and all morning a
huge flock of geese milled around
in Luther Roberts' field, feeding
brazenly.
Hunters from miles around got
wind of it, and 38 of them paid Rob-
erts $5 apiece to hide in the field.
They took their stands well in
advance of the noon shooting dead-
line. The geese went on calmly
feeding, paying no attention to the
drooling nimrods. It sure looked
like a great day, with Thanksgiving
goose for everybody.
But at 11:30 a. m. the geese all
took off and flew into the nearby
federal game refuge, and not a
single hunter got a shot for his five
bucks.

ALTO ADAMS OPPOSED TO
EAST COAST TURNPIKE
Alto Adams, candidate' for gover-
nor, has come out against the pro-
posed-'multi-million dollar turnpike
along the Florida east coast, say-
ing flatly that he could not approve
any such "pig-in-the-poke proposal."
The turnpike idea calls for a giant
toll highway providing a direct link
between Jacksonville and Miami,
'but by-passing the smaller towns
and cities in between.
Adams will be in Wewa'hitchka
Saturday morning to informally dis-
cuss his race for governor.

Gray To Bring Suit

Attacking Florida's

New Election Laws

Contributions Clause Infringes On
Rights of Citizens, Says Pan-
ama City Mayor

Mayor Car Gray of Panama City
has his dander up in regard to Flor-
ida's new election laws and allows
he's going to make an attack on
the legislation "by the shortest pos-
sible route to the supreme court."
Gray says he going to ask the su-
preme court for a declaratory de-
cree on the law, passed by the 1951
session of the legislature. The law,
he avers, "if followed to the letter.
would eliminate every honorable
man in the state from the roster of
candidates for public office."
The particular part of the law
Gray will challenge requires candi-
dates for office to keep a record of
all contributions 'to campaign ex-
penses, what they were spent for,
name of the contributor, the amount
and the item for which the money
was spent.
Gray said his main reason for at-
tacking the law is that he believed
it infringes on his constitutional
rights as a citizen. "I have talked
to several persons who may become
candidates for statewide office and
all of them have expressed a desire
to see the law challenged but were
afraid tO do it themselves for fear
of public opinion recently aroused
by the Kefauver crime investigating
committee," said the mayor. "Can-
didates feel, if they attack the law,
the public will think they are up to
some type of campaign skulldug-
gery."
While Gray said he isn't figuring
on being a candidate for public of-
fice at the moment, he did say that
"some day I may decide to become
a\ candidate, and in that event I
would not want my constitutional
rights as a citizen infringed on by
some inequitable law."
Tlbe Florida Press Association is
also studying the law, lifted almost
bodily from New Jersey statutes
which for more than 20 years have
existed on New Jersey lawbooks
without a test case. The association
also is contemplating .asking for a
declaratory judgment to get court
interpretation of puzzling features
of the new law.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Sweet pea planting right now is
a good idea. Possibly you already
have in winter-flowering Spencers.
The season can be extended by
planting some early spring flower-
ing varieties. Don't forget to lime
soil and inoculate seed with nitro-
gent inolculation for best results.
Perennial beds will benefit from
a mulch put on now. Peat moss will
-


be better than leaves.
Moles may show up burrowing
across your choice 'aw and bedding
areas. Calcium cyanide crystals
pumped into their buri-ows 6 feet
apart will get a lot of 'em. Be care-
ful not to breathe fumes as they


are poisonous, now. Results will be better if they
Plant new rose bushes as soon as are kept in the refrigerator for five
you can get them. Plenty of feeding or six weeks.
and watering will get them off to a ------
good start. Washington: First in war, first in
Bulbs found by experience to do peace, and first in taxes, controls

If You Hanker To

Burn Over Land,

Let Hardy Know

Will Save State and County Money
As Well As Time of the
Firefighters

All landowners in Gulf county are
requested to report plans to burn
land or trash to the Gulf county
fire control unit so that equipment
possibly vitally needed elsewhere
will not be wasted on a controlled
fire.
"Although no law states that a
notification must be given to the
forest service if you burn your own
land," County Ranger H. A. Hardy
said, "it would save the state and
county money, as well as save the
time of us hard-working firefighters
if such notification was given."


The forget fire laws do state t
neighboring landowners must
notified at least one, and not m
than ten days, prior to the con
burn, Hardy added, and the
must be adequately policed to
vent its escaping. Suppression co
land damages and possible prose
tion face the landowner who let
control burn become a wildfire
damage the property of others.
"One last word of warning,"
forester added. "This is the dan,
ous time of year for woods fires
Florida, so be careful with y
land burning, even if it is your o
land."

TO MY MANY FRIENDS



I wish to announce my decision not to seek re-election
to the office of State Attorney for the Fourteenth Judicial
Circuit. The ever increasing duties devolving upon the
State Attorney has faced me with the choice of either aban-
doning my private law practice or retii-ing from the office
of State Atto.nley. I can ill afford to sacrifice my law prac-
tice, and it therefore seems only proper that I stand aside
for someone who can devote more time to the tremendous
volume of work now moving through the State Attorney's
office from the 6 counties embraced by this judicial circuit.

In announcing that I shall not be a candidate for re-
election, I do so with a feeling of profound gratitude to
my good friends through whose confidence and good will
I was elected to this office nearly four years ago. I trust
that I have conducted the office in such a manner that my
many friends who so generously placed in me their faith
and confidence shall have no cause for apology or regret.
