ISOLATION is doing so much for agrt-
cultural development There has been
marked Improvement in this county in
the past few years. A part of it is
due to the farmers Institutes held
every fall for the past four years, but
the greatest single factor for develop
ment and Improvement has been the
work and the influence of the men and
boys who took the short course at
Gainesville. Their influence as more
successful farmers than they used to
be, together with the cooperative
demonstration work in which the gov
eminent and your association are
working together, give visible object
lessons that are going to prove mighty
valuable to the county"
Being the father Of County Agent
McQuarrie Of the farmers cooperative
demonstration work, Prof. McQuarrie
has taken special interest in that
work in this county, and has recently
visited the farm of nearly every farmer
working in the cooperative demon
stration work. Il have recently trav-
eled 1000 miles by auto and buggy
among farmers of Florida Alabama,
Georgia and the Caronnas," said he,
and I want to say emphatically that
the best cotton I have seen is in Es-
Gambia county, Florida I don't mean
this to apply to all the cotton fields in
this county, but to those who have
followed the government advice OF
planting wide and cultivating properly.
The Escambia farmers who have most
closely followed government advice,
with the aid of the selected seed fur
nished by the Commercial Association
will make from bale to a bale and a
half an acre.
Fine results are also being gotten
in corn by the cooperative demonstra-
ton farmers. Those whose fields
have seen had been making 10 to Il
bushels to the acre under their old
methods, and this year they will aver
age, I believe, 80 bushels. Some OF
them claim 40, but I think they are
figuring high. An increase to sc
bushels, however, on the same land
that has heretofore given 10 and l.
| bushels, is an improvement that Es-
| Gambia can afford to brag about, espe-
cially as the land was not broken unit
| spring, when good corn culture calls
for breaking land in the fall"

THE best single investment the Pen
sacola business men ever made" said
c. K. McQuarrie yesterday, was the
money they spent on the class of nine
members that the old Chamber of
Commerce sent to Gainesville"
Mr.. McQuarTfe had dropped in to
report" to Secretary Waterman Of the
Commercial Association, who selected
the nine students referred to. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. McQuarrie said:
Hanks, the full grown man who led
the class at Gainesville, has improved
his farm and his dairy very much in
deed, and this year he has bigger
crops than he can take care Of
Young Webb, who seemed a bit
slow to catch on to new ideas at first
has done wonders. When he got home
he got his good mother enthusiastic
over better dairy methods and iInple-
ments, and his father backed up the
lad in his efforts for general improve
ment on the farm. The Webb family
is today, should say, so per cent bet
ter and more profitable than it was
before young Webb went to Gaines
vile, and the Webbs and their farm
have been an influence for better
methods in their neighborhood. This
by the way, Is true of all the class ex-
cept two.
BARLEY tells me he is making 81
per cent more profit on the same out
lay of money and effort. The others
are doing from Is to 40 per cent
better"
Turning from the subject of the
class, Mr.. McQuarrie said:
I am glad that the Commercial As

touch with the situation. During that
| time he learned that two members of
| the United States Steel Corporation
wished to see him in the morning. AT
| breakfast the next day he was In
| Termed that Judge Gary and H. G.
Frick were waiting to see him. Mr..
| Bonaparte, then attorney general, he
continued, had not arrived from Bal
timore.
Il sent a note to Secretary Root to
come over" the former president read,
and he arrived at the White House"
The conference was brief. Mr.. Roose-
welt explained, and later he wrote to
Mr.. Bonaparte stating all the facts of
the conference.
He then read to the committee the
letter afterwards published in the SEN
ate records of the hearings on the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron cases in 1909. The
letter set forth that Mr.. Prick and Mr..
Gary had submitted the proposition for
the sale of the Tennessee company and
how he had expressed the opinion that
he did not wish to stand In the wya OF
averting a disastrous financial panic.
| The firm that was in trouble, Mr..
Roosevelt said. had not been men
| toned.
Mr.. Roosevelt then went ON to read
| his statements, going into details
about the serious financial conditions
in New York and told how he had
| taken the responsibility to permit the
transfer of the steel company and die
4 1t on his own initiative.
| 'It was a matter of general knowl-
| edge" he said, referring to banks ano
| trust companies in danger in New
York, that they held securities of tht
Tennessee Coal & Iron Company which
had no market value"
| 1.-THE proposition Of Messrs. Gary ant
| toll ha
| steel corporation should take over the
i Tennessee Coal & Iron Compony a
once"
1T was necessary for me to act a.
once" said the former president; "tC
act before the stock exchange opened
or the transaction might prove use
less"
He said he was satisfied that &C,
| quirement by the steel corporation O.
| the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company
did not change the legal status of thu
corporation.
Furthermore, I believed It would b,
for the public good" continued Mr.
Roosevelt ct answered Messrs. Gar!
and Frick that if matters were in sucl
a state, I did not want to stand In tn
way and the results proved that thu
act was a good one because the pani
was stopped
Mr.. Roosevelt further said that h
had learned the action was OF grea
benefit to the people Of the Birming
ham district.
It should have proved an unworth,
public officer If I had not done as
did"
IF I had not acted at once" h
continued, Gin that extraordinary crisis
I should have been a mere little. Il
such crisis the temptation to indie
cision, to non-action, always exists
There is always excuse for non-actior
If a man is worth his salt he will Civ
people in trouble the benefit of tn
doubt and act as the situation de
mands If the law is not violated.
Every step I took was as open a
the day."

president for more details as to tn
| conference at the White House an
about the trust companies in troubl
; in New York at the time.
, ct think they mentioned only on

trust company. 1 had previously been
Informed that there were two such
companies and that the assets Of
certain big stock brokerage company
were threatened. They said they were
fully convinced this company would
fail if the Tennessee transaction was
not completed. The securities had no
market value at the moment, they said
and they stated they were willing to
purchase that property for the steel
corporation; that the steel corporation
did not wish to do it for the sake of a
transaction itself, because il had been
their policy to keep up their proper
ton of the steel business at so per
cent less. AS a matter of fact. their
control was less. They said they were
willing and anxious to take over the
property because they felt it was the
only way to save the situation, that it
would put the power of the steel cor
poration behind the companies on the
firing line and in a position to pre-
vent disaster"
You spoke Of their mentioning trust
companies?" Mr.. Stanley asked Did
they mention any,"
Il think they mentioned none" Mr..
Roosevelt replied, "and did not ask
them for the names"
Incidentally, I may mention" con-
tinued the former president, that
when I was in Birmingham last spring.
every man I met, without exception.
who was competent to testify informed
me voluntarily that the results of the
action taken had been of the utmost
benefit to Birmingham and therefore
to Alabama, the industry having prof
tied to an extraordinary degree, not
only from the standpoint Of business,
but from the standpoint Of the COM
munity at large. and of the wage
earners, by the change in ownership.
The results of the action I took
were beneficial from every standpoint
and the action itself at the time when
it was taken was vitality necessary to
the welfare of the people of the United
States"
