Japan HAS NO

Opportunity For
The Florida Farmers.

In West Florida today as well as In
other sections OF the state large areas
OF lands are not being utilized by the
farmers. and because such condition
prevails the people here are not as
prosperous as the0 might be and other
countries outside Of the United States
are getting the money which should
come to Florida to pay for food sup
plies.
During the month Of February two
million five hundred thousand bushels
OF Irish potatoes were shipped into the
United States from other countries,
apd the prices paid for them We're
enough to maintain the families Of
many farmers had there been farmers
in West F1oriad to supply the demand.
We have not the statistics at hand for
the number of bushels imported dur
ing other months, but it is likely that
a similar amount for other months was
the result.
Irish potatoes are easily and plen-
tifully grown in the lands of West
Florida, and unless 1t is sweet pota-
toes, for which there is an ever in
creasing demand, there is not another
crop which we know Of that yields so
abundantly in this section.
Farmers near Hastings have grown
rich In producing only Irish potatoes
and Hastings has become so well adj
vertised that during certain seasons Of
the year when Irish potatoes are men
toned the people Of the north think
of Hastings. and Hastings farmers
cannot supply the demand
Unlike other early vegetables pota-
toes do not require fast express trans
portation for the farmers to get good
prices and there Is no necessity for
losing a fine crop because a few hours
are wasted at shipping time. In view
of this fact and that the potatoes grow
Journal believes IL the farmers of the
different counties would get together
and form some kind Of exchange that
the potatoes as well as other crops
could be marketed successfully and
probably.
Organizations cannot be perfected In
a day, week or month and The Journal
believes that they should cooperate
and devise some means Of benefiting
each other. Let them devise means Of
having something besides cotton as a
money crop. for Florida lands will pro-
duce more money from potato crops
than the best lands OF the south will

The Sad1ast DAVIS.

The melancholy days are here,
The saddest days of all the year,
housekeeping time is drawing near,
Oh, amt it awful, Mabel?
When father eats his humble fare
Here, there and almost everywhere;
Without recourse to any chair,
Or cen to any table.
When all of our folks fume and fret,
And discord is the one best bet.
And short replies are all you get
To any sort of question.
When father uses language drude
And gulps his food in manner rude,
And does not see that it is chewed,
And ruins his digestion.
The air is charged with dynamite,
And all the Fates do hold a spite,
And seem to want to start a fight
With neither sense nor meaning.
There's no Joy in the old home nest,
When father cannot find his vest,
In married life the supreme test
Comes with spring housekeeping.

by the japanese government or by
Japanese company, chara cteriZing the
report as entirely sensational and ut
terly without any foundation whatever.
Secretary Knox said the rumors re-
garding Japanese purchase evidently
arose from efforts by an American syn
dictate to dispose of certain lands in the
vicinity of Magdalena Bay. This syn
dictate, according to the departments
information, entered upon negotiations
for a sale to a Japanese syndicate.
Meantime an effort was made to ascer-
tain the attitude Of the American gov
eminent toward such a transaction.
There was evidence, Secretary Knox
said, that the syndicate felt or knew
that Japanese capitalists would MT
care to consummate the purchase with
out the approval of the Japanese gov
eminent and that the latter would not
give its approval unless assured the
transaction would not be objectionable
to the United States.
The department Of state made 1t
plain to the American syndicate that
such a transfer of lands would be in
terpreted in some quarters in a man
ner to cause a great dltcry and that
such result would be so obviously a
cause of regret to the government of
the United States that it would ap-
pear unnecessary further to comment
government in the premises"
The American syndicate, it appears,
then sought to ascertain the attitude
of the American government toward a
company composed in part of Japanese
investors, Americans retaining control
of the property. To this proposition
the department replied that it could
add nothing to it's former statement.
Since this reply. the files of the de-
partment disclose no further communi-
cation with the Americans interested
in the lands. Under these circum-
stances Secretary Knox declared:
The department cannot assume
there is any project on foot ealing for
action on the part of the United
States"
The message precipitated a debate N
the senate. Senators Bacon and Lodge
ccncurred in the opinion that If the
Monroe doctrine did not cover the sit
uation, new doctrine covering il could
be created.
Explaining his reasons for calling for
the correspondence. Mr. Lodge said it
was TO prevent the development Of any
embarrassing situation with reference
to Mexico and Japan. He said the
time had come when the United States
should take the position that neither
directly nor indirectly could any foreign
government obtain the control of land
in this hemisphere that may consti-
tute menace to the United States.
Senator Raynor said that if Japan
established base of supply or coaling
station in Mexico he would regard the
act as a declaration of war.
