the blocks to sink. There is no better
foundation for anything than sand.
and Il seemed to me, as a non-eXpert,
that the best thing to do would be to
crown up the sand and set the blocks
directly upon it, treating them after
wards with a mixture of coal tar and
gravel
Oil would make splendid roads and

California and the North. 1t is likely
that it would make even Il better road
in st. Cloud, where the sand affords
so firm a foundation and where there
is no frost to disinIcgratc the surface.
An oil road, however, is an exceeding
ly dirty thing until it gets packed

All systems of roadmaking and paw

however. They are like roofs in this
respect. The best that. we can say of
any kind of roofing or of any kind of
roadmaking is that it has more merits

1t was inevitable that in the start
ing of st. Cloud A percentage of those
coming there should be dissatisfied
There never was a town begun any
where but was a disappointment to
many who came, no lnatter what rep
resentation had been made to them.
The town of st. Cloud had undoubt-
edly much fewer of these disappoint-
ments than any other in the history
of our country. When We contrast
what the first settlers and those who
went in later found there with similar
migraticps to Kansas, Nebraska, the
Dakoras. and the Far West. it will be
seen that st. Cloud presented eXtraor-
dipary attractions for new place.
Beside the splendid climate there was
abundance of water, plenty of build
ing material at cheap prices and all
the necsssaries OF life at hand and at
ordinary prices. The Seminole Land

Every day there are new arrivals, and
every day sees new buildings started.
The lumber company across the bay
from Lynn Haven has been somewhat
Handicapped in supplying all the lum-
Der needed in the new town, for the
reason that it.was equipped. to cut for
foreign trade alone. The foreign de-
mand- was for different dimensions
and lengths from what is required in
local building work, and in order to
supply the demand at Lynn Haven
they; had. to pick. and select from. the
piles of lumber already cut. But the
demand has been so great and prom
ises to grow to such large proportions
that. they have realized the necessity
of taking. care of ii, and SO have in
stalled different and other machinery
that will cut for the Lynn Haven
market in proper dimensions and
lengths. This machinery is about in
stalled, and the demand will be fully
suppliedsfrom now on.
Last week the large ocean barge
Teddy discharged full load of
lumber at the big dock, and a few

LARGEST COTTON CROP
ON RECORD EXPECTED
Condition Report Indicates
That 1t Will Be the Biggest
in Country'S History

WASHINGTON. July S.--official estimates Of
the cotton crop report OF 1911 indicates that it
will be the largest in the history OF the cOun-
try, approaching to the present figures. IA 49,
900 bales of 500 pounds each
DR.. n. A. Murray, acting chief Of the crop
reporting board Of the department Of agricul-
ture, today made the following statement sub
sequent to the issuance Of the cotton crop re-
port.
'@The report shows the condition Of the crop
to be higher than on any corresponding date in
the last fen years A month ago. the general
condition was SO per cent above the ten-year
average Today It is 1913 per cent above the
ten-year average.
The acreage OF cotton this year is about
s5,OO0,O00. allowing for the average amount Of
abandonment--abouf 100000 acres-the indi-
cations are that approximately S7,0000O0 acres
Of the crop VIII be harvested. The crop is esti-
mated at IA. 425. 900 bales.
This calculation allows for average depres-
sion. The critical period in cotton growth is
in August and September that any estimate
at this time must be taken with some allowance.
The largest previous production Of cotton in
this country was in 1904, when II averaged 49,
6Te.949 bales OF 500 pounds each.
