full addresses delivered at the meeting
Of the State Board of Trade in this
city on the Goth inst was that by
Mr.. Alfred 0. Crozier, Of Whining
ton, Del. We regret that want of
space precludes it's publication in full,
but we make some extracts there
from After a brief Introductory
statement Mr.. Crozier said:
ct is no news to you when l say
that Florida is a remarkable state.
There are single acres of land in this
state on which it would be possible
to make all the money necessary to
raise family, of ordinary size, in as
much comfort as is enjoyed by the
average family Of the United States,
and to give the children not only a
common school, but college educa-
ton. In fact, there are tens of thou
sands of such acres of land here.
"Such is the fertility of your soil
and climate that it would be possible
for Florida to produce sufficient to
feed and sustain the population of
the entire United States. Of course
there are large areas Of little or no
value, but the rest wisely planted and
properly titled, would show miracle
of production from the multiplica-
ton Of crops each year. 1t is not
the fault of nature that the present
yield of the state is absolutely insig-
nifcant to what it should be.
Immigration would be great
help, it is an imperative necessity. 1t
takes people to occupy and cultivate
your boundless acres. Two kinds are
needed; that from the other states,
and that from foreign countries.
"You want the Yankee, the Dutch,
the Irish, the Swede, the Italian, and
in fact, any one who is willing to
work with hands or brain or capital
to increase the production and wealth
of the state.
"But above all you want home
builders, and home owners, they will
be permanent and become loyal and
useful citizens. You will do every
thing in reason to encourage their
coming and remaining, for it will con.
tribute to your prosperity and en-
joymet.
The problem of agriculture in every
state is entirely bound up in the
problems of transportation This is
doub1y so in Florida, for about one
hundred per cent. of it's roads are
bad. Your delicious climate is a
splendid thing, but it is not sufficient
in itself to induce sane man to
leave a place with less climate but
better roads and locate where it will
cost him more to haul his products
to the railroad than the railroad
charges to transport it a. thousand
miles to market, even at prevailing
rates.
"We have seen man and team
spend a whole day going and return
ing ten miles hauling a small jag of
oranges Of little more weight than
a man could handle on a wheelbar-
row on good macadamized road.
Obviously, this is terrible loss Of
energy, time, money and a temper.
"These are the cold facts, the con-
ditions, which bar or delay your pro-
gress toward obtaining desirable i'm

CURING SLEEPING SICKNESS
German Board of Health Publishes
Minute Account of Work
of DIR. Koch

BERLIN, Jan. 1s,-(Special.) "A minute
account of the wonderful cures Of sleeping
sickness which are being performed by DR..
Koch on the shores of Victoria Nyanza is
given in the Imperial Board of Health's
report.
The atoxyl which is administered by the
doctor is stated to exterminate the germs
of the dread disease within six hours Of
injection in any part of the body. Although
this was first observed about six months
ago, DIR. Koch continued to watch the eff
fects of the atoxyl for four months, and
even during the last two months he has
continued to experiment, with the idea of
making certain that he had discovered a
genuine cure.
He treated thousands of natives during
this period. Eight hundred were treated
during the first week of November alone
and 100 were treated during the ensuing
two weeks. The atoxyl always relieved
the patient within six or eight hours, and
no relapses were observed.
The English scientists. DR.. Grey and Dr.
Greigh, share the credit OF the discovery,
as DR.. Koch frankly acknowledges using
their previous researches in finding a cure.

CROKER TO RACE AT HOME
New York Man VIII send string
of Fast ones 70
America.

DUBLIN, Jan. 1s.-(Special.)-I is re-
ported here that Richard Croker intends to
race his horses on the American tracks
this season. The report has undoubtedly
grown out OF the fact that he has named
his 6-year-old mare Blakestown for the
suburban, the big $4,000 handicap which
mas been run for more than twenty years
at the summer meeting of the Coney Island
Jockey club at Sheepshead Bay.
The extent OF the campaign which Croker
Is planning on the New York tracks can
not be estimated until later, when the en-
try lists for some of the big events of the
running turf will be made public. At pres
ent the only thing of importance appears
TO be the entry of Bakestown in the
Suburban. But Il IL certain he will not
send the mare over alone. and even IL
there are no other stake horses I'm the
string that comes across from ireland, the
former Tammany cheftain is expected to
leave an impression upon the tracks of
America as we'll as England during the
coming season.
Blakestown is a chestnut mare, years
old, by Desterlln-Stella. Most of her rae
Ing hitherto has been done on the Irish
tracks, and she has never figured as the
winner Of any of the big classics or handl-
caps OF the English turf. In ireland. how
ever she has earned a distinguished rec
ord, and as a 3-year-old she carried off
the Irish Oaks from a strong string of
hllies. Her list OF winning brackets is a
strong one, and even though It includes a
few stake features. she has shown form
sufficiently reliable to make her dangerous

Of an important nature and Mr. Sinclair
now agrees that his endowment of ideas
upon the subject of land legislation would
have been considerably richer had he
waited for It's findings. A feature Of those
is the practical use made OF county coun-
ellis, especially for advisory purposes. The
committee recommends that definite i'm
provements In the creation Of small hold
ings be made in Britain, that the pur-
chaser OF land pay one-eighth of the price
at the outset, and that after payment OF
the first installment the county councils
shall have the power to defer payments OF
succeeding installments as they deem ad-
visable. The experiments in land purchase
are TO be conducted under special branches
of the Board OF Agriculture In all likli-
hood this means the selection of a group
OF specialists, who will act as middlemen
