The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-11-17
WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

1t has often been cause OF wonder
to strangers why some sections, towns
or localities of Florida give such en-
phatic evidence of thrift, prosperity
and development while others, more
kindly favored by nature, with many
natural advantages other sections
cannot boast, show no signs OF de-
velopment or thrift, and in fact, are
afflicted with chronic case Of die
back.
The stranger, should he tarry long
enough in the respective towns would
soon be able to determine the cause
of the difference. He would see that
the people made the country
Some of the choicest spots in Flor
ida, from a natural standpoint, are
today about in the same condition
they were a dozen years ago, in the
matter of Development. At these
points nature has done everything
and man nothing. The inhabitants

family use until grinding time comes
again, he derives a handsome profit
by the sale of syrup to his town mer-
chant. In the early days sugar was
also made, but of late years it has
been found more profitable to convert
the cane into sugar.
Chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese
are also raised for family use, and the
milk cow is not forgotten. While these
COWS are not record breakers in the
matter of milk production they an
swer every purpose, and if the milk
supply runs the range herd is drawn
from. In this way all the milk and
butter needed is obtained. The smoke
house receives careful attention, and
the ''pesky" razor backs are duly
butchered and cured. When the corn
crop is good the most promising pork
ers are taken from the range and pen
ned, and they yield to kind treatment
and abundant food in manner that
is astonishing. These people not only
make their own meat, but their lard
jars are always full
Corn they produce in sufficient
quantities to keep their stock and
poultry, and the sweet potato is OF
course a standard article of produce
ton and diet.
The more thrifty of these people
have not neglected the orange bust
ness. While they do not have large
acreage in trees, they have devoted
their odd moments to the cultivation
of small groves, and as this was a side
issue with them and the groves made
at practically no expense, they have
proven remarkably profitable. In
fact some of these old ''cracker
groves are among the best in the
country.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-11-17
A Hard Row.

Were it not for the fact that the
Agriculturist's quarter of century
of life has given it a pretty clear in
light into human nature and taught
it that motives are often misconstru-
ed, we would be worried and puzzled
over some recent happenings.
While we have fully appreciated the
difficulties under which the producers
labor in getting their produce to mar
ket at a reasonable price, and while
we have contended that existing con-
ditions must change before the state
could attain it's cause of prosperity,
we have maintained the position that
the transporta ton companies were
not necessarily the enemies of the pro-
ducers, and that they had rights that
should be respected. We have looked
upon railroads as the great developers
of the country and for this we claim
ed they should have proper considera-
ton at the hands of legislatures and
people. While attempting to hold the
balances even and do justice to both
corpora tons and producers, our years
of journalistic experience fortified US
against a surprise when our rabid an
ii corporation people rushed at us
with storm of inyective and accused
us of being creature of the COR

THEY LIVE AT HOME.

Many people who have lived in the
years have an idea that nothing but
oranges can be grown where they
live. This idea has been dissipated to
some extent during the past two
years, as the freezing of the orange
groves made the production of some
thing else necessary.
Within less than a dozen miles of
one of the great orange centers OF
South Florida-where until recent
years it was deemed impossible to
make even a garden-can be found
families who have lived on their home
steads for forty years. They not only
lived but lived comfortably, and near
ly everything they col ~umed was pro-
duced on their land. In the early set
Element of this section of the State
this was necessary, for unless man
could raise on the land what his fam
lily needed, they would have gone hun
CRY, as there were no nearby markets
and railways were unthought of.
On one of these homesteads in ques-
tion, (Which can now be reached from
the very heart of the orange section
in a two hours drive) the visitor will
find practically the same methods
pursued that were followed nearly a
half century ago. The owner has his
bunch of cattle that uses the range
and cost him nothing except for the
spring round up. These cattle are a
double source of profit, as the in
crease is sold and supplies a consid-
cradle portion of the "ready money"
needed for taxes, clothing, etc., and
besides this the cattle in the spring
are penned on the land to be cultivat-
ed, thus enriching it, and making it
more productive.
The owner of the farm has his cane
patch, and besides stocking up for

porations." We have many of these
letters on file. Nor were we surprls-
ed or respondent when some of the
near-sighted transportation companies
called in editorial passes (given in
exchange for ten times their value of
advertising space).
These things have not disturbed our
equanimity-we expected them. Our
duty to our constituents, the produce
ers, prompted us to demand the crea~
ton of a commission under the law,
that would modify, at least, apparent
abuses. We have no apologies to make
on this score. At the same time our
duty demanded that we should ask
for commission that would operate
along conservative lines and respect
the right of property and the inter-
ests of corporations, when these inter-
ests did not operate to the manifest
injury of the people. In other words
we demanded that the rights of the
corporation as we'll as the rights of
the people should be respected.
Now, as a result of this course we
are corporation critter" in one
quarter and ''long whiskered popu>
list with socialistic IDEAS in another.
We do not complain; we feel that
we have done our duty and this con-
seriousness causes us to look with con-
tempt on certain dead" railroad pass
es and with pity ON our letter file con-
tanning effusions of our rabid anti
corporation friends.
After all, we do not know that leg1s>
lation can remedy the evil that has
been so apparent. We think the trans
portation companies will, in time,
(may it be SHORTY realize that what is
for the country's good is for their
good, and will pursue a policy tend
ing to the increase of production and
it's concomitant prosperity.
