To The Editors of All Exch anges


We wish to call the attention of
all the editors of our Florida ex-
changes to an article i'm this weeks
paper on the land question. We hope
that you will read it carefully and con-
slider the matter on it's merits. 1t
concerns, not only all the agricultural
population, but every one who has to
buy or sell real estate. If the argu-
ments are sound then is it not the
duty of every one who has the best
interests of the state at heart to do
all i'm his power to bring about this
reform in the transferring OF land
titles?
If you are convinced will you not
try to convert all the voters among
your readers to the same belief and
in this way bring about such an over
whelming sentiment in it's favor that
the next legislature will not dare to
refuse to enact the needed law to put
in force this reform?

rhe Torrens System.

Elsewhere you will find, this week,
an article recommending the TOrrenS
system of registering land titles. 1t
is evident that the adoption of this
method of transferring real estate
would save immense sums of money to
those who have to buy or sell property.
we do not see why anyone should OBJ
Ject to it, except owners of abstract
books, county clerks who would lose
fees, and possibly some lawyers who
make money by searching out titles.
Yet the Bar Association of the state
of Virginia and also of the city of
Richmond have approved of the pro-
posed law. We favor what will be
for the greatest good of the greatest
number This law would save thou
sands of dollars to the peOpie of
Florida and we are heartily in favor
of it's adoption even though few
men may be compelled to go into
other business to live.

Look Before You Leap.

If you are about to change your lOca-
ton, we advise you to keep this old
adage in mind. Probably there are not
many communities in this state where
you would find such neighbOrS as are
described in the article entitled Intelli-
gence ana harm Values. Yet it rs
possible that you might lind one, and
IL so, 1T is to be avoided.
Intelligence and prOgressiveness will
make property more desirable and
more valuable. however desirable
Il neignDOrhOOd may be, circumstances
may arise which Will make it neces
sary TO sell out ana move. Ill that
case you viii want to be located where
you cain realize something like the real
value OIL your place. Therefore,

FARM but such an assertion is not
true Brains on the soil are as neceS-
sary as brains i'm any walk of life;
men on the farm must learn and must
put their knowledge into practical use.
The same as in everything else, we
must do better work on the farm than
our fathers did.
Let us cultivate brains on our soil
and make ourselves and farms yield
better results. What could not each
of us who has a strong, earnest de-
sire for brains on our soil, accomplish
by giving leisure time to systematic
study?
Many people were surprised when
a noted professor resigned his posi-
ton at a State Agricultural College to
accept the position offered him as
manager of large farm at an in
creased salary. Hundreds of men
could have been hired at much less
salary, but the owners of this large
farm wanted a man who could think;
they paid for his thoughts, his ideas
and his ability to manage; they need
ed his brains ON their farm and that is
what every farm i'm our country needs,
brains Oh the soil.

Farming in Florida.

Occasionally wOuldbe settler
| superficial view of the state, decides
lhat it is a poor place to make living
at farming. If there are any such
among our readers, at the present
time, we refer them to the account
OF ii Marion County farmer as pub
Iished by the Ocala Banner and copied
INTO the Agriculturist this week. Ma
ZION county is not the only place where
sOOu farmers and good farming are
iound. HOmeseekers from the North
are very apt to make two mistakes

Another mistake is to decide that
because our soil is much OF it a very
ngnt sandy soil it is not capable of

" men properly tarmed this SANDY soil

any son ill the country. Does that
seem to you all eXtravagant assertion?
we believe that it is not at all eXag-
serated We believe that statistics
will show that there are farmers in |
rnIs state who produce as good crops |
as their Northern brethren. The aver |
age for the state is very low because |
so large a proportion of our farmers |
are still many years behind the times. |
\ great many do not appreciate the
advantage of sandy soil.
The greatest, in a rainy season, is
that the soil can be worked almost |
as soon as the rain is over. 1t is also
much easier to work at all times. We
do not believe that the common idea,
that sandy soils lose fertilizer by
teaching, has any foundation in fact
The great loss of fertilizer on sandy
soil comes from being sown On the
surface and then evapOrated by the
heat of the sun. Fertilizer has
to work up, not down. We
have had so many evidences of this
that we have no doubt about it. i

Cooperative Farming in Denmark.

Cooperative Farming in Denmark.
Is there not a lesson for American
farmers in the success that attends
cooperation among the farmers of
Denmark? Why cannot the same
thing be done in this country?
The United States consul at Hull,
England, in recent report to the
State Department, gives some inter-
esting facts relative to agricultural
cO-Opera ton in Denmark, CLEANED from
a party of English farmers who visited
Denmark to investigate the methods
of agriculture there The cooperative
dairy at Esbjerg has membership
of 80 farmers, milking 1,5OO cows.
A small quantity of the milk is retailed
at EsbJerg; the bulk, however, is
made into butter and practically speak
ing, all exported to England. The
milk is paiu for by weight and quality.
The manager, who receives $3.50 per
annum, embraces in himself the func-
tons OF managing director, manager,
working foreman and clerk, his clerk
ing being done during the afternoon
after the butter is made. The board
OF directors of such concern get
virtually no remuneration. The DAN
ish Cooperative Butter and Egg So
cIety has % separate dairies scattered
over different parts of the north and
west of Denmark, where the butter is
made, then sent to headquarters at
Esbjerg to be blended and made one
uniform quality before expectation to
The membership is held re-
spOnsible, not for part of the money
that must be borrowed, but for all.
Say, Tor example, that $4,000 has to
be raised for cost of building, plant,
etc, and that 200 farmers become
members of the society. Every one
Of the 200 signs his responsibility for
the $4,000, so that if the 1919 cannot
meet their liabilities the remaining
,ne is bound for the loan. Actual ex-
)erience, however, proves that in Den
mark no risk whatever is attached to
his. Armed with such a bond there
$ not the slightest difficulty in borrow
ng the money at low rate of inter-
st. Banks Or loan companies are
'nly too glad to lend on such a Sc
:urity. The dairy is then built and
'quipped, a chairman and small COM
nlttee of management appointed, their
'ay being practically nothing; these
N turn appoint a skilled manager, the
milk is delivered at the dairy, made
ntO butter, and either sold by the
larry direct to England, or if the dairy

disposed of. The price to be paid for
milk, hogs and eggs is settled by the
weekly quotations for butter, bacon

Brains on the Soil.

| A successful cultivatOr of the soil
being asked, how he fortified GER
tain crop, said, with BRAINS" There
is no occupation that requires a more
intelligent use of brains than up-to-
date farming. Speaking on the sub
ject the editor of the American Farm
err says:
Some one tells us when people be-
come thoughtful then the country
is saved" and true it is that the
best our farms produce are thinking
men and women. Many of our
farmers cry, they have no capital"
Some of them would fail if they pos
sessed capital in abundance. The
thinking man who begins at the very
bottom without capital, depends upon
the efforts of hand and brain, and this
has tendency to cultivate confidence
in himself. Many have been known
to fail, even those who have possessed
ample means, because they did not use
good judgment We all know farmers
who started with capital, who toiled
constantly from daybreak to dark,
yet became each year poorer and poor
err because they worked to diSadvan-
tage through ignorance Many farmers
need to get in touch with the great
intellectual life of the times. Ii every
farmer would lay aside his work and
devote each day two hours to reading,
there would be fewer failures in farm
ing; we need not only cultivate the
soil, but we need to enlarge our ca
itVy TO hsr,ly To
work in the proper direction all along
the line. Greeley said: Most men
are born poor, but no man who has
average capacities need remain So
And the farmers calling, though prof
fering no sudden leaps, no ready short
cuts to Opulence, is surest of all ways
from poverty and want, to comfort
and independence. Other men must |
climb; the temperate, frugal, diligent, |
prOvident farmer may grow into COM
petence and every external accessory |
to happiness. Each year of his de- |
vOtiOn to his homestead may find it |
more valuable, more attractive than |
the last, and leave it better STILL
All successful farmers and stock
men owe their success to careful, COM
that means brains. The man on the
farm is not drudge, but a living,
being, one of the most essen
tial factors to our American manhood
That we have brains on the soil we
lite you to presidents who have been
'aised on farms: Andrew Jackson,
Martin Van Buren,, James X. Polk,
Zachary Taylor, Willard Fillmore,
Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan,
Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Grant and r.
B. Hayes were all born and reared ON
farms. George Washington was not
cared on a farm, but after he retired
rom the presidency he took up the
work of cultivating some 5000 acres.
All professions of life and offices of

nented and enriched by those who

soil, gaining vigOr, inspiration and
