Union that uses as much commercial
fertilizers per cultivated acre as
Florida. This large expenditure for
commercial fertilizer is at present a
necessity. If the farmers of the State
will keep more live stock to consume
the feeds they grow, they can in this
way produce a portion Of their fer
tilizer at home. This method Of
farming would result in system of
crop rotation, and the fertility of our
farms would be increased, while the
farmers would not be compelled to
make such heavy expenditures for
commercial fertilizers as is done
now.
With the unimproved native cat
tie, feeding for the market will not
be found profitable. But as soon as
there are enough good grade steers
available for feeding purposes, then

low-grade bulls that are now being
used
Florida conditions demand that
many more beef cattle of a good class
should be produced. Florida today
depends upon the States Of the North
and West for at least three quarters
of the beef we consume. The whole
of this amount can be produced here
at home. Few other States can grow
such variety Of protein foods as can
be produced in Florida. Velvet
beans, cowpeas, and beggarweed, all
grow to perfection; to say nothing Of
other forage crops, such as Japanese
cane, sorghum, Para grass, Guinea
grass, Natal grass, crab-grass, and
corn. 1t has been stated that good
corn cannot be produced in Florida.
This is erroneous, for excellent corn
can be grown and is being grown in
many sections of the State, though
not in all. Throughout Central and
West Florida, farmers are now har-
vesting 80 to 80 bushels of corn per
acre. The cost of raising it varies
from $40 to SIS.
There is perhaps no State in the

Money LIN Live Stock.

''The prices of fat hogs in the
western packing house markets are
now about six dollars and quarter
hundred pounds on the hoof," says
the Tampa Times. GA year ago they
were nearly two dollars less. In the
same markets good beef cattle are
bringing about the same prices as
hogs. A ten months shote is worth
twelve to fifteen dollars and two
year old steer from sixty to eighty,
according to condition and weight
The Times has for many years been
urging the farmers Of Florida to
take advantage of the national mar
ket for live stock and their own IA
cilities for producing it at lower
cost than it can be produced in the
neighborhOod of the markets where
these prices prevail.
''It is encouraging to note that
there is something doing in this line,
that more and more of the stock
breeders of the State are making eff
forts to improve the breeds they ham
die and to put their animals into
better condition. It doesn't cost a
Florida farmer more than a dollar
to add five dollars to the amount he

gets for a hog, nor more than five
dollars to add ten or fifteen to the
selling price Of a nice fat steer In
the fullness of time the success at
tending the enterprise and shrewd-
ness of up-to-date stock breeders
will spread all over Florida and
there will be exported millions of
dollars worth Of live meat instead of
importing millions of cured and cold
storage stuff.

improvement of Florida Cattle.

The accompanying illustration
gives a good idea of the class of bulls
that some Florida farmers have been
and are still using. This bull is
about five or six years old, and
weighs from 700 to $50 pounds.
There was a time, not many years
ago, when any one VINO proposed to
produce better grade of cattle in
Florida would have been considered
destitute of all business qualities.
That was during the period when
the growing of citrus fruits. How
ever, after the hard freezes of 1894-5
and the lighter freezes of 1912,
few people began to realize that their
success must depend on other sources
of income than a citrus grove. This
was especially the case in Middle and
North Florida. Accordingly a few
farmers began the pioneer work of
improving their live stock. Since
Florida is below the quarantine line,
the beginning was hard one. The
loss of bulls brought in from the
North was heavy. This loss gave
weight to the argument against i'm
prOvement. However, these energetic
pioneers were not discouraged. The
first few calves sired by the surviv-
ing bulls gave the enthusiastic live
stock improvers new hopes.
These hopes have been fulfilled,
for the last ten years have witnessed
wonderful improvement of the live
stock of the State. Fifteen years ago
there were not a dozen pure-bred beef
bulls in Florida. Today there are
perhaps hundred, and most of these
are Florida-bred animals. Farmers
are beginning to realize that the i'm
provement Of cattle is not so hazard
Gus as they once thought it. They
see that it is both possible and prof
liable to produce a better grade. In
company with Mr. S. H. Gaitskill, of
Mcintosh, Fla, we lately had the
pleasure of riding over Mr. A. L.
Jackson's range and noting how, in
the last few years, he had improved
his cattle by the use of pure-bred
bulls. At the present time there are
on this range half dozen pure-bred
beef bulls, all doing service. Within
the next two months there will go
from this range 100 head of two and
three-year-old steers, half and three
quarter grades, that are just as good
as a large percentage of the grass
fattened cattle that are sold on the
Chicago and Kansas City markets
every day. Yet some people tell us
that good cattle cannot be raised in
Florida. These doubling Thomases
should visit a few of our good stock
farms, and be convinced. The writer
is pretty we'll acquainted with live
stock conditions in the corn-belt Sec
ton, and also with the range condi-
tions Of the Southwest; and he feels |
safe in saying that as good cattle can |
be produced as cheaply in Florida
as in any Othher section. To do this |

Speaker Cannon Re- EIected.

Uncle Joe Cannon has been elected
speaker of the house for the fourth time.
Much silly stuff has been printed about
the autocratic ways of the speaker, but
experience has demonstrated that the
business before the house can only be
put through by giving the speaker power
to shut off dilatory tactics and bring
measures to a vote. The house OF rep
resentatives is an unwieldy body. 1t
should be reduced at least one half in
membership to make it a governable
legislative body. Unfortunately it's
membership is composed of more poll
ticians than statesmen.
Thomas B. Reed of Maine was the first
speaker to take the bull by the horns
and make of legislation something more
than a farce. We heard a great deal

lowed by Crisp .of Georgia, and the hu-
morous spectacle was presented of the

Will Destroy 5000 acres of Land.


The committee appointed at the last
regular meeting OF the Commercial Club
to make an investigation of the charac-
fer of lands to be condemned and over
flowed by the Washington Water Power
Co. under an easement recently secured
by it from the department OF the interi-
or. and also the condemnation and over
flowing OF land in general along the lake
and St. Maries country by the corpora
ton, has completed it's labors and will
report to the club this evening.
For the past two weeks there has been
a government inspector in the field in
vestigating the character OF the land for
the OVERLOOKING OF which the company
secured the easement, and the committee
made an effort to have conference with
him but failed. The inspector is said to
have remarked to settlers that the COM
pany secured the easement under fraud
ulent presentations-under the repre-
sentation that the land was a vast
swamp-that no one would suffer an
injury by it being overlooked, and is re-
ported as having stated that whenever
the real facts came within the knowledge
OF the interior department that the
easement would be revoked.
While the committee was unable to
meet the inspector it had conference
with the delegation OF st. Maries citizens
and prominent business men, and Sc
cured from them valuable facts concern
ing the situation, and the matter will be
presented to the club from the stand
point OF what the injury will be to Occur
d'Alene and the county as whole if the
company's wholesale flooding OF land in
the up-river country is permitted to go
On undated. 1t is estimated that the
lands which will be overhowed under the
easement, together with those which will
be overlooked, if the suits started in the
courts for that purpose by the company
against settlers are successful, will aggre-
gate $4,000 acres. Nearly all of this
land is of agricultural character, and
great portion of it was used for the rails
ing OF hay until it was flooded by the
company. Some is still being used for
that purpose, but will be completely
destroyed in the event that some way
cannot be devised to put an end to the
corporations condemning it for its own
private use. From an agricultural point
this large amount of land will infict in
estimable damage upon the city Of Occur
d'Alene, and the committee will ask the
club to take action looking to put
of the settlers in the up-river country by
the corporation.-Coeur d'Alene Press,

innocent. Ii innocent he should court

truth or falsity must be established
Nothing less will satisfy the public con-

it as if found guilty.

Washinaton's Ninth Legislature.

We hear much criticism OF the late
lamented legislature. Most legislatures
and legislators come in for criticism at
the close OF each biennial session, and
the criticism in most instances is well
earned The last legislature was prob
ably no worse and no better than it's
predecessors. A legislature is dellber-
alive body, and all deliberative bodies
move slow-except during the closing
hours, when frequently much harmless,
as well as foolish, legislation is enacted.
The chief charge heard against the last
session is extravaganza in making ap-
preparations. Well, il extravaganza is
noted each community in the state is
largely to blame, for what section OF the
state has not asked for something
asked for it loud and persistently-and
for amounts which seem large to every
other community but the one interested?
Legislators have done nothing more
than what they we're asked to do-al-
most bounded to do-so the blame for
extravaganza does not lie altogether at
their door. This is an extravaganza age.
The people are extravaganza iD the pri-
vate walks of life, and extravaganza is
rampant in the public service.
The Gazette has criticised the last leg
stature in various particulars, and ex-
poets to speak of its work more in detail
in the future. Our system Of legislation
is wrong. We need less law, not more
law. Sessions of the legislature should
be held every four years. not every two
years. Special sessions could be called
if necessity demanded. Our judicial pro
cedure is awry. We have too many
judges and courts-too much litigation.
The large number of laws enacted every
two years is partly responsible for this.
A change in parties will not bring these
reforms about. 1t is for the people to
arouse and demand that the 'system"
be changed, and that our laws be made
in a common sense business way. Let
US get together and work in harmony
for change.
