Good Roads.

We have said but little recently, on
the subject of good roads, not from
lack of interest, but owing to other
reasons. We expect, in the future, to
urge the matter and shall be glad to
see the time when every county in the
state has system of good roads, over
which team can haul load, and by
that we mean as much as two horses
ought to pull.
There is one objection to real good
roads, which should be considered be-
fore we get them. That is the fact,
that in the present condition Of Flor1-
da roads, farmers have but little trou-
Bile with automobiles It is also fact
that in many places, at the North, they
have become such serious nuisance
that people in the rural districts dare
not trust their wives and children to
drive over the roads alone. Even
where the law requires an automobile
to stop On signal, so as to allow horses
to pass quietly, the law is frequently
violated and serious accidents are
caused. Before we tax ourselves to
make good roads, we should see to it
that we have law which will give the
farmers at least equal rights on the
road with the autos. 1t will require
careful study to draw up a bill which,
when made into law, will do the work.
We do not mean to drive the auto
mobiles from the road, but to require
them to respect the rights of others.
1t is no answer to say that most Of
those who ruin the machines will be
careful to do this, without a special
law. 1t is true that most Of them will
do so. It is also true that few people
will steal, yet we must have a law to
control the few who have no regard
for the rights of others. So in the
case of the autos, we must be prepared
for those who are reckless of Others
rights.
Another thing in respect to good
roads. We have no objection to the
levylng OF a special tax for that pur-
pose, but we want it guarded by re-
strictions which will prevent boards Of
county commissioners from taking the
tax OF whole county and spending it
on one or two favored sections.
The expense of making such roads
might be greatly reduced by authoriz-
ing each county to work it's own con-
vlcts on the roads, both in making and
repairing. Such law would be better
for all concerned, and the convicts
would be more likely to receive proper
treatment than when leased to any set
of men whose interest it was to get
all the work possible out of given num-
bers of men, regardless of conditions.
We hope that such law will be passed
lat the next session of the Florida
Legislature

Who has tried to grow English wal
nuts in Florida? We should be very
glad to hear from any one who has
had any experience, whether success
ful or otherwise
The possibilities of small piece OF
land are not yet understood in America,
not even in this State where we have
so many small farms. We have much
to learn in that line from those who
have lived in the crowded countries Of
Europe.
What is your idea Of the best meth
Cd OF marketing the fruits and vege,a-
bles OF Florida? This is a very i'm
portant question, and must be settled
soon or the size Of Our crops will break
the markets and result in great loss to
growers all over the State.
Mr. Nee1d's article is very readable,
and his conclusion as to the advisability
Of trying something else than orange
culture is a wise one. We do not mean
that growers should abandon their
groves, but that they ought to plan so
that all their eggs will not be in one
basket. That when anything happens
to injure or destroy a crop of fruit
they will still have some resource left
DR.. Morrell, the white fly expert,
who is in Orlando by direction OF the
United States government to study
this pest and the best methods of ex-
terminating it, has been joined by S.
Strong, OF Los Angeles, CAL, who will
work with Dr. Morrell.

We want immigrants, and we need
those who will come to work. Of
course, we welcome those who have
plenty OF money, and do not need to
work. The special need OF Florida at
tn S time is laborers to till our fields,
gather our crops, and repair the rail
roads, we add the latter clause because
some Of the roads are in poor condition,
and the excuse Of the mana cement is
that they cannot get laborers to do
the needed work Of repairing the track.
Why should not the farmers sons,
and his daughters as we'll, be taught
the principles of agriculture in school?
1t is true that we have no teachers that
are competent to teach the science or
even the first principles of scientific
agriculture. But that fact is not a
reason for neglecting it any longer.
If such knowledge was requisite for
position in the schools of this State,
the teachers would soon qualify them,
selves, by studying the necessary text
books

That Montgomery may be a model for other cities in conduct ffffssaa Vertfsins campaigns is shown in q letter received by the Commercial Club from Sampson and Crary, who have charge of the Gen. tral Industrial Bureau In Chicago.
 Speaking of Montgomery's success in it's advertising campaign of the past year. the letter from the industrial bu- reau. seeking information as to plans for such campaigns has this to say:
 Montgomery has set good example, and our impression is that you will re- ceive many such letters as this within the near future from GpmRleGcfal clubs intending to advertise the natural ad- vantages of certain cities Tn other words many cities. in our judgment. will want to learn from Montgomery
