WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH FLORIDA?
.aaaaaaaaae22aaaa2aa2aaaaaoaasaaaaaass
St. Petersburg Independent.

The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued a bulletin on
the report of the committee on Exten.
sion Work throughout the United
States. In the summary it shows
what each state is doing along extern
sion lines. Florida, alone, of the
thirty mine states mentioned. is al
most at standstill on account of a
lack of funds. Its mention of Flor
ida specifies:
The reorganization of the education
al system in this state and the lack OF
funds at the dispoStal OF the uniVer-
sity for extension work make 1t i'm
possible for the institution to under
take any agricultural extension work
at present along the lines suggested
by the committee.
The state legislature of 1907 has
appropriated $4,000 for farmers in
stitutes for the next two years. This
will contribute to the general cause
of agricultural education throughout
the state.
The reports from other Southern
states shows that the legislatures OF
these states appreciate the import
ance of the soil as a means OF wealth
and progression. In Alabama the re-
port says:
This exterior work will be supple
mented this yeaf by what is called
the Jesup wagon which is, in effect,

equipped with illustrative material
and lecturers, to go out to the plan.
tations, farms, and other points
wherever a few people can be gotten
together, to hold meetings for the dis
cussion of subjects along all lines of
farm activity"
The government supports the ex-
detrimental station of this state, yet
the state itself is so lacking in ele-
ments for its own good to appropriate
sufficient money to print bulletins from
this station, so that the farmers and
growers may get the full benefit of
the experiments. The work OF the
government is disseminated through
its faculty, the expenses of the mem
bers attending the various meetings
being paid out of the funds of the
local associations, like the Pinellas
Orange Growers Association of this
section.

Drastic Regulation
In Birmingham.

In Birmingham, where Prohibition
campaign is now on, the city council
has suddenly awakened to the neces-
sity for regulation" of the liquor bust
ness. OF the situation the Birmiag-
ham Age-Herald says:
The board of aldermen has taken
steps to increase the license fee OF
saloons in thirteen central business
blocks to $4,000. and that of saloons
in fifty-eight surrounding blocks TO
$780, both to take effect on January
/ next. Nor is that all the aldermen
are considering-the aldermen, that

pool or billiard playing, no dice or

However, thorough and drastic regula-

sitien to test it.
The contest over the hquer question
is now between drastic regulation and
drastic prohibition, and every qualified
elector will soon sit as a juryman to
decide the issue. Drastic regulation
is about to be adopted as strategic
move of the nti-prohibitionists, but
that for the tiTne being need concern
no one in the least, for the choice
should be between the thoroughly reg
ulated saloon and the policy that
drives out all saloons. The choice at
this moment is before the people in
all entirety and completeness, and it
will soon be up to them to name the
