The Result of Shooting the Limit
october Recreation: When the first
flight of wild fowl is well started,
we may expect to hear that ''the
ducks aren't coming down on their
old fyways this year. Wise old
duck hunters will wag their heads
and say. it is because of the drain
ing off of the lowlands of the mid
die west and the greatly increased
acreage of irrigation lands beyond
the Rockies. This and the fact that
a duck which is shot in the spring
| cannot fly down from the north in
the fall with a family of young,
should account for a considerable
falling off of the flight on feeding

counted on to be well patronized by

In his address to sixteen hundred
boys at the dedication of the new

Philadelphia, President Roosevelt
exhorted his hearers to work hard
and play hard. His sentiment of
that day has passed into a proverb,

The Florida agriculturist., 1907-08-28

In the early days of Florida, during
the 4os and sos, the ruling price of
stock cattle was So per head, and at
that low figure their owners became
moneyed men, and foundations were
laid for some snug fortunes. AL
though stocks were increasing, the
price also increased, so that from
1870 to 1882 steers brought an aver
age price of $3.50 per head, and no
less than 100000 were exported from
one Florida port. During the two
wars in Cuba, $12,2Io,ooo were re-
ceived by Florida range men for ship
ments from Punta Rassa alone. The
total exports of cattle from the Unit
ed States to the West Indies, Wind
ward and Leeward Islands, aggregated
the enormous sum of $143,ooo,ooo. But

We have been recommending the
cattle business, in it's various branches,
such as dairying, and the raising of
beef cattle, for long time. There
is always some danger that the sup
ply of fruits and vegetables, from this
State, will increase more rapidly than
the demand But there is not the
least danger of the supply of first
class butter and cheese outgrowing
the demand, neither will supply of
good beef exceed the demand for
many years to come. It seems to
us that the country must look to the
state for it's beef and butter in the
near future. Writing to the Punta
Gorda Herald, Mr.. Z. C.. Chambless

of these lands, perfectly adapted to

crops, now lying in all the unattrac-

despoiling sawmill and turpentine still,

prices so insignificant as to be hardly

are being devoted to this business, the
center of which must eventually move

Do We Need More People i?

We think that majority of the
people of this state would answer
that question in the affirmative. But
the Farmers Union is opposed to
foreign immigrants. Probably most
Of us would object to opening the
doors to an indiscriminate horde of
the offscourings of Europe, Asia and
Africa. But we do need more labor
ers, of that fact there can be no ques-
ton, then what shall we do? The
following wise editorial on the sub
ject is from the Live Oak Democrat:
eve want no immigrants from
across the seas, it matters not from
what country they come" declared
Hon. Chas. Barrett, president of the
National Farmers Union, in a speech
in New Orleans before the annual
convention of the Louisiana branch
of the union. This is plain talk and,
what is more, Mr.. Barrett is express
ing the fixed policy of the union on
that vital issue. There is an increas-
ing cry going up from the plantations
of the South for more labor, as the
public works have drawn away large
proportion of the negroes, and in
obedience to this inSistent call there
has been movement in many parts
of the South to encourage European
immigration. But the Farmers I'm
ion is athwart the track Of that pur-
pose and it is there to stay. We take
it from President Barrett's declara-
ton that the union will not oppose
immigration to the South from the
North and West, and if we can get
a tide turned southwark from that
quarter it will serve the purpose even
better than would people brought over
in the steerage. None of us want the
. low classes from Europe, the "scum"
as they are called, with but little of
mind or morals either, and we should
keep them out as we would lepers,
but we certainly need more people
from somewhere unless we have been
tn victims of false alarm for the
past few years and our fields and
factories are not really suffering
from shortage of labor. The whole
South should have definite policy on
this very important issue, and it re-
mains to be seen if that policy will
be determined by the Farmers I'm
ion. The simple question is do we
need more people in the South to till
our fields and work in our factories,
and if SO, where are we to get them
from? If the union throws it's Unfit
ence against immigration, is it not
bound to guarantee the South against
labor shortage? And if the present
universal demand keeps up will there
not certainly be shortage? Is there
not one now? It is purely question
of fact.

An immigration Law.

It seemed to be the sentiment of
the State press, Judging from the edi-
torials which we saw in our state ex-
changes, that this state needed a Bu-
reau Of immigration, but in their su-
perior wisdom, the legislature decided
otherwise The editor of the Kis-
sim1nee Valley Gazette has discovered
that we have law, already on the
statute books, which will answer the
purpose for those counties which are
anxious to encourage Immigration.
He says:
Our attention hasFbeen called to a
law on the statute books of Florida,
which was passed by the legislature
of 1908, and which, in view Of the
c1amor for immigration legislation at
the recent session of the lawmakers,
should prove of interest. This law
permits the establishment of immi-
grafton bureaus by the counties, and
provides for raising the necessary
funds for operating the same.
Following is the text Of the law:
The county commissioners Of the va
rious counties of Florida, may when
requested in writing by the owners of
a majority of the assessed lands of
their county, establish county bu-
reau of immigration, which bureau
shall consist of the chairman of the
board of county commissioners and
one member from each election dis
trict Of the county.
The members from each election
district shall be selected by the regis
tered voters Of the various election
districts in such manner as they may
prescribe.
Upon the adoption Of the resolution
by the county commissioners estab-
fishing a county bureau of immigra-
ton, they shall give notice Of same by
publication in some newspaper of the
county for four consecutive weeks, in
which notice the registered voters of
the various election districts shall be
requpested to elect their members to
the bureau and to certify the names of
the persons so selected to the chair
man of the board of county commits
sioners within sixty days of the day
of publication In the event any dis
trict or districts shall fail to make a
selection, the selection shall be made
by the board of county commissioners
at their regular meeting.
The members of the county bureau
of immigration shall hold their offices
for the term of two years. They shall
also elect their own chairman, secre-
tary and treasurer and shall be au-
thorized to employ county agent of
immigration whose salary shall be
fixed by them; which salary shall be
paid out of the fund hereinafter to be
specified.
No members of the county bureau
of immigration shall receive any sal
ary, except the treasurer, who sal
ary shall not exceed fifty dollars.
