HOW IT WAS DONE
BACK IN THE NlNETIES.. .
CManatee Record.)


The editor of the Record was one
of the few editors in the state, away
back yonder in 1884 that had his
pass taken UP the railroads because
he advocated the Te-establishment OF
a railroad commission. At that time
the railroads absolutely controlled
everything commercially and pO-
liticaIly in the state. Every state
convention was dominated by the rail-
roads. and only men under corporate
influence were nominated for office
AS soon as we were big enough to
raise our voice we did so in behalf OF
the people, and from that day until
this we have never had any cause TO
regret our stand; and feel proud u
know that we assisted in re-estab-
fishing the railroad commission and
stripping the state of tho serpenuno
coil of the railroads which were
crushing the very life cut of the peo-

PLANTING AND REAPING:
THE PAST AND PRESENT
DeFuniak Breeze.

DeFuniak Breeze.

Did you ever hear of old Johnnie
ApDle-seed"? More than likely you
did not. In the early years of the
last century he travelled all over New
York and the middle west, and every
where he went he planted by the
roadside and in the yards and on the
farms, apple-seeds. No one knew
whence he came or whittier he went
or what his real name was. but
everywhere he was "Old Johnnie APP
pie
When asked his reason for his Pc
culiar actions his only answer was
that If no one planted no one could
gather. He was an old man when he
began his travels, but he lived to
gather apples from some Of the seeds
he planted The planting OF old
Johnny Apple-seed was the begin
ming Of the apple business Of New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michi-
gan, a business which has added thou
sands, even millions of dollars Of
wealth to those states.
Hundreds of dollars have been
spent in booming the pecan business
in the south, and thousands of dollars
have been spent in planting pecan or
chards and yet the income at present
from pecans is proportionately very
small. This is not knocking the pc
can business. Those who have
planted and taken care of their or
chards will in years to come. reap
large rewards. But the point is this
If no one plants no one may expect
to gather. This is as true Of com
munities as it is Of individuals.
The average corn crop of Florida is
less than eight bushels per acre.
Walton county last year produced the
largest yield Of corn on a measured
acre Of land ever produced in the
state, more than the average yield
on ten acres. This year that will Re
beaten in Walton county. The aver
age in this county this year will be
more than double the average in the
state, because a portion Of the farm
ers will make crops Of five or Siy
times the average, and all might do it.
The inspiration of these large crops
was the fair. The fair was the plant
ing, the larger crops which means
greater prosperity for the farmers in
which the town cannot help but share,
Is the reaping. A single advertise
ment Of Walton county planted at a
cost Of 500 added more than enough
wealth to the county to pay every
year more taxes than the advertise
ment cost.
The trees which grew from the
seeds planted by old Johnny Apple
seed have long since died. Had none
other been planted New York would
be shipping no apples.
DeFuniak and Walton county are
doing no prosperity planting.
There is much planting to be done.
What are you willing to do to help?

The Death of a
Great and Good Man.

The entire country will join Mime
sofa in lamenting the death of Gov
ernor John Johnson. Republicans as
well as democrats will weep over his
bier. His character, both social and
political, was generous, honest and
noble and his indomitable courage
whereby he lifted himself from OBJ
security to rank among the most prom
inent Americans Of the day will prove
an inspiration to the country's youth.
The death of Johnson, in the midst
of brilliant career, will stab deep
er wound in the heart of his state and
leave a wider gap in its body than
would that of any other Of it's citizens.
