anything else that we have done in
Pensacola in the past two years, it
i-trikes healthily at the very root of
the evil from which we have suffered
the lack of development of agri-
cultural rsources. We have relied
on railroad pay rolls and navy yard
pay rolls and the destruction of the
pine forests.
LAS community we have been to
a very great extent scalping re-
sources instead Of developing them.
This fair has been splendidly started,
with the right ideals and plans on
the part of the directors, all efforts
centering on the development of ag-
TicultuTe by first creating new faith
in agriculture through the abundaEt
proofs that the fair will give of the
richness of the agricultural posi-
bilities hereabout.
