necessary. Then why do tit II, on
the other hand, we could not produce
our own foodstuffs, or could not pro-
duce them as cheaply as others even
when the long haul is considered. then
there could be no criticism for not do
ing so.
Florida occupies a unique position
among the states. Her geographical
location insures her a climate which,
rightly understood Ambiguity used,
pours a stream Of wealth into her ca
pacious lap, and this stream will con-
tinue to flow II her people prove pro-
gressive and effective workers. until
in winter the soils of the north fail
to be locked in the iron grip of the
ice king We are in no danger, there
fore, of losing the markets of the
north and west for our vegetables.
We hold them a heritage, an all-wise
provision of guiding hand that tenn
pers the elements. We export truck
and cotton. Is it not enough that We
import all our clothing. Shall we also
import food for man and beast? Why
not produce our own meat, butter and
eggs7 1t IS eminently feasible and
practicable The opportunity has al
ready been too long ignored. BY so
doing we can expand the agricultural
industry, improve our soils and in
thereby to our wealth and prosperity.
If we do not feed our own people, why,
of course California, Wisconsin ana
Tennessee will do 1t for US.
To adequately supply our home
markets, take then as entirely as prac-
ticablye out of the hands of the out
side producer, will require a readjust-
attention and study will have to be
given to methods Of production, stor-
age and distribution.
In other states the problems not
only of home supply, but also of export
trade, have been solved effectively by a
systematic study OF crop production,
increase and Improvement of live
stock, use of hand separators, co-ope-
rative creameries, packing house ia
cilities and organization and Corpora
ton for buying and selling. There are
no unsurmountable obstacles in the
way of like movement in Florida
In fact, it would be easier here than
elsewhere, IL we ignore the personal
factor.
We can hold our export trade by
careful study, organization and CO.
operation. Let us also possess our
home markets all about us. Shall we
supply our home markets and keep
our money at home with which to i'm
prove our farms and build our cities,
or shall we quietly continue to leave
our competitors, with their long hauls
and heavy freights in possession OF
the field? Let US grow our own food
stuffs. Europe wants the surplus of
the north. Our markets are worth
millions. They will build better roads
better schools, better churches and
better homes. If our resident farmers
will not meet this demand, then in
consequence an unprecedented oppor-
tunity is open for the Florida colo
nists.

OUR HOME MARKETS
BY J. College Agriculture Gainesville

When our commercial system had
Its beginning in simple barter. home
markets were supplied first Today
our inordinate desire for a large export
trade has led us I'm a measure to neg
lect our home markets. We sell our
products abroad, bringing in millions
OF dollars. and turn about and buy
abroad, sending millions of dollars out
again. We delegate the feeding Of our
people, In part at least, to those who
reside hundreds of thousands of miles
distant profoundly violating sound
economic law and lending ourselves
willingly or iEnorantly to the perpet-
uation Of unwarranted waste of both
energy and resources. What student
OK economies, what man of ordinary
judgment will contend for one moment,
that there is no economic waste in an
exchange of commodities that can be
produced in both places. and in each
/ more cheaply than in the other when
the cost of haul is considered.
To illustrate the point: Not many
years ago the United States exported
both hard and soft -four wheat, and
at the same time imported quantities
OF duran or macaroni wheat. Shipped
wheat by rail to the seaboard and by
snip across the ocean, only to return
wheat hence by the same route. What
tremendous and needless waste To-
day the dry farming areas and the ir-
| rigated sections of the west produce
macaroni wheat so abundantly that
the mills are diverting large quantities
of 1t out OF the usual channels and
using ii for regular milling purposes,
producing as it does -four more nu-
tritious than can be made from the
best winter wheat grown. Furthermore
the yield is greater than formerly
Large areas, that once were devoted
to the production OF soft wheat, are
now producing macaroni wheat. Does
this in part account for the falling off
in our export trade in wheat? No
doubt about it, but while we are la
menting the fact We may better be
congratulating ourselves on the saving
| of useless double haul Instead of
shipping wheat thousands of miles for
the purpose Of exchanging 1t for wheat
OF a different character to be shipped
thousands of miles home again, we
proceeded to do the simple thing, that
OF producing wheat Of the desired
character at home. Simple, and yet
1t took us many years to see the point
IL, therefore, we have discovered
| economic waste in an exchange Of GER
tain commodities. may not the same
economic principle be involved in the
one-way shipment? Let us study the
situation near at hand.
Florida ships to the markets of the
North and West tremendous quantities
Of farm produce, and at the same time
imports from other states millions OF
dollars worth of foodstuffs, foodstuffs
that can be produced economically
and profitably within her own borders
and far more than enough cheaper
than to cover the long haul. We must
import our clothing, but why import
any considerable portion of our food
stuffs? We must see that this is I'M

The Filthy Habit
of Splitting.

Much is being said and written
about the nasty house fiy and it's
agency for carrying disease, but there
Is another nuisance which. although
not quite as bad is just as dangerous
as far as II goes and is absolutely use
less-it's splitting.
There s. a state law against splitting
in public places and city ordinances
against splitting on the sidewalks. and
II there isn't any law which will pre-
vent a passenger on a street car from
splitting into the street while the car
is running, then the laws of common
decency ought to keep persons from
doing it.
The spread of tuberculosis is caused
to a great extent by the afflicted ones
splitting and the germs are then car
ried by flies or when the phlegm is
dried the winds distribute it. The
practice should be stopped to prevent
consumption If for no other reason,
but there are other reasons.
Around the street corners and in
many public places men so far forget
themselves that they spit upon the
floor or paving without feeling that
they are doing anything contrary to
the laws Of the state and society.
The women don't have to plead
guilty to the splitting habit-this much
we can be thankful for-but the mer
should abstain from the habit, be-
cause 1t is habit and filthy one.

FRIDAY. AUGUST a. 1911.
Senators Fletcher and Bryan
and the Navy Yard.

The people of Pensacola are thor
oughly appreciative Of the efforts being
made by Senators Fletcher and Bryan
in the interest of the Pensacola navy
yard.
Senator F1etcher's resolution calling
upon the secretary Of the navy to in
form the senate as to the exact status
of his policy toward the Pensacola
yard, and Senator Bryan's exhaustive
speech supporting the resolution in
which he demonstrated the Importance
of the yard itself. both constituted ex-
cellent work as we'll as supplied the
foundation for more effective work
when the information asked for Is re-
ceived.
With both senators working for the
retention of this important station,
there is no reason why, within a rea-
sonable time, the Pensacola yard
should not be open again, and with
much better equipment than it has
heretofore possessed.
With the change OF administration
in March. 1913, we shall also have a
new secretary Of the navy. Secretary
Meyer may be able to stop work tenn
porarily at this yard, but he cannot by
himself abolish 1t, and his successor
viii be pretty apt to restore the yard
to its original. or even better, work
ing status.
In the meantime, Pensacolians are
grateful to Senators Fletcher and
Bryan for their present efforts.

FERRY PASS THE LOGICAL
POINT FOR THE BRIDGE

Editor Pensacola Journal.
think Ferry Pass is the most suit
able place for the bridge, as ii can be
built there for less than any place on
the river, where 1t will do as much
good.
Many people think the bridge would
have to be built two or three miles
across the bay and the salt water
worms would soon destroy the piling,
but this is not the case.
The road would have to be built
across a small cove at the head Of
the bay not more than half a mile
wide with water two to four feet deep.
The balance is marsh land, which can
be filled in and a road built instead of
bridge, which would be the cheapest
In the end.
The bridge at Ferry Pass would be
near the center of Santa Rosa county,
which would benefit the whole country
more and the distance for the people
in the upper end of the county would
not be so great to come by Ferry Pass.
A bridge at Moline or Bluff Springs
would be nice for the people in the
northern part of both counties but
would be so far around to the bridge,
it would be useless to the central or
southern part.
They have a reasonable ferry at Nc
David, which the people of the north
ern part can use or come to the bridge,
as they can come down on either side
of the river.
Dexland. or the lower bluff, is high
bluff on our side Of the river and a
dense, low swamp on the other side.
The cost of cutting the right of way
at Dexland would be a handsome
amount, unless they build over the
swamp, as has been suggested. I sup
pose the swamp is so thick they have
no idea where they will come out on
the other side or the distance they will
have to go. I think at Dexland there
are two and a half or three miles of
thick swamp.
They say they will not have to build
draw at Dexland, although the gov
eminent has a snag boat running up
and down the river which will take a
bridge forty or fifty feet high to pass
under. There was talk last year of
steamboat traffic on the river, which,
no doubt, will soon be the case.
think they will have to build a draw
wherever they put the bridge.
Dexland is about six miles up the
river from Ferry Pass. Some one sug-
gested to cross the river at the old
railroad grade, just above Thompson's
bayou, which is two miles up the river
from Ferry Pass, and come out where
the Ferry Pass route will come out on
the other side. don't see anything to
be gained by this, as it would require
three or four miles of new road to
reach the same point on the other side,
while we have a good road almost
complete to Ferry Pass.
As the people have to pay for this
bridge, the location should be voted on
by the people.
