My understanding is that the Manu-
facturers' Record, Of Baltimore, Nd.
was the first to invite attention to
the following:
Florida as a whole has the highest
production per acre Of any Of the big
producing states. The United
States Department of Agriculture year
book shows earnings per acre at the
following figures:
Illinois, s31.54; Wisconsin. 1854;
Pennsylvania, $30.S4; Alabama, $36.5S;
Texas, $54.56; Florida, $63.60''
There are 100000 acres Of land
in Florida. If this were all in cult
walton the total yield at 1925 per acre
would annually represent $4.25O, OOo,-
OO0
The present annual value Of the az
ricultural products of the South Is
$2.5OO.0O0. 600. and of the entire Unit
ed States is $1O,273.S91,425.
With such soil. with such climate.
with such natural resources, and with
such men and women, Florida will
soon be reckoned as among the great
est states of the Union.

POLITICAL SUBJECTS

My Dear Boys and Girls: I want to
talk today to the older readers of the
Junior and ask them to write me con-
cerning the installation of a depart
ment in the Junior especially for them.
My idea is that by Offering small
cash prizes, say, of 81 each. I might
interest number of students in the
discussion of political topics of gen.
eral local interest. The difficulty
which seems most serious in the mat
ter at present is in the selection of
topics. I might take some political
phase with which I was extremely ia
miliar and upon which it would seem
every thinking boy and girl could
write, and yet the topic really might
be very difficult one. 1t seems to
me that the best way to obviate that
would be to ask for a list of topics
which the boys and girls might sug-
gest themselves.
If I decide to initiate this depart
ment, and I will if there is sufficient
interest manifested. 1 would like to
be sure of some good letters. The dis
cussions of the matter should be first
hand from each boy and girl not what
his or her father or mother thinks.
The opportunity to express ones
views upon any topic is always a val
liable one, and leads very generally to
the growth of more and better views
to express. 1t will be of inestimable
benefit to the girls of the Junior to
take part in these written discussions
in which their brother students will
have most pronounced views, while
theirs, for the present at least, NAV be
rather tentative
With the growth of the political
equality movement girls ihouId be ia
miliar with political situations, and
should know the bigger and more i'm
portant matters of policy for which
the various political parties are con-
tending. Whether or .ot they wish to
vote, young women will find them
selves strangely outside of all that is
up to date and much that is interest
ing if they do not know something at
least about political men and ideas.
Now if some of the students of the
various city and country high schools
will write me in regard to this matter
1 shall be delighted to hear from them
and know what their views are con-
cerning the opening of such depart
ment. Perhaps there will be a gen.
cral opinion that the Students are al
ready too busy to take over any more
work. no matter how ligl " this would
rest upon their shoulders, and perhaps,
on the other hand. the boys and girls
will think that matter studied up for
letters to the Junior would serve
general broadening and educative pur-
pose, while the practice of presenting
the ideas in a convincing and readable
form would serve an equally adVan-
tageous purpose so far as the general
knowledge of English is concerned. I
hope that many of these boys and girls
will write me.
Regular readers of the Junior and
the many new ones who send in their
contributions each week will find the
two topics for &C .sideration sufficiently
interesting so that any suggestions
from me will be unnecessary.
With much love to you all,
