TN UBLIN, Sept. 15.-World- wide in
i terest is being aroused in the
forthcoming Irish international
Exhibition in Dublin. The fact
that Ireland is in a position to hold
an Industrial exhibition is surprising in
itself, and students from the United
States. Canada, Germany France. India
and South Africa have journeyed to Ire
land to study the methods of organiza-
years what amounts to an industrial
awakening.
1t is this awakening which gives the
Irish International Exhibition of 1907 a
peculiar significance and lifts it above.
the plane of a mere show. 1t will
mark an epoch in. Ireland's advance as
noteworthy in its way as was. the Phil
adelphia Centennial of 1876.
The movement for the reorganization
Of Irish agricultural and industrial life
began in 1882 and in five years it had
made so much headway that a meeting
was held in Dublin to inaugurate the

Since 1903 the society's record has
been one of steady advancement, and
today there are nearly 1000 societies all
over the country. In fact the progress
has been so great that it was felt that
the time had come when the rest of the
world ought to see what had been done
for the upbuilding of Irish industries

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR BROWARD

SPEECH OF GOVERNOR BROWARD
The only question raised by the
newspapers that oppose retaining the
Everglades, and that should require an
answer is, care there not millions of
acres of land in Florida now that are
not cultivated and that do not require
drainage and irrigationi" which ques-
ton will answer by asking them some
questions: "What crops can be raised
best on the reasonably fertile lands of
West, North, East and Middle FloridaY
The answer must be cotton, corn, sweet
potatoes, Irish potatoes, peaches, small
crops of sugarcane and some vegetables
Is it not fact that where we can
raise some corn, no one will contend that
our farmers can raise corn cheap enough
to ship it abroad and sell it in compe-
tition with the States north and west
of Florida, where many times as many
bushels can be raised per acre as we can
raise hereY The newspapers may say,
That is true, but how about cotton? Is
it not fact that the farmers of the
South have organized to prevent any
increase in acreage being planted on ac..
count of overproduction and fear OF
falling prices in event of overproduction
Someone may say, Sweet potatoes p Is
the market not very limited for that
crop? The same can truthfully be said OF
Irish potatoes, peaches and vegetables,
and some fear an Overproduction OF
oranges, and we can easily glut the mar
ket with tomatoes, celery and other veg
etables. We can only successfully raise
them for the winter and early spring
market. The papers may ask, "What can
be raised on the EvergladesH" I will ask
them another question. Suppose you
were going into farming as business,
would you not first investigate and find
out what crop you could plant and sell
without great danger of overproduction
and falling prices, or some crop that you
would not be forced Immediately into
sharp competition with the same prod
ucts Of other farmers from other States
of the Union?" I am satisfied that you
will answer "yes."
Then let us look at the agricultural
reports of the United States. What dc
they show? They show that we consume
, in the United States 2,767,l62 tons OF
. sugar. The statistics show that the tota
