food conditions and to report filth at the

II there is any fault with cold storage
1t is financial and economic, not hygienic,
said DR.. Herbert d. Pease Of New York,
1t was a mistake, he said to believe that
the only advantage Of cold storage was
in cornering the market on eggs and

as opposed to the chilled process as the
more hygienic.

ING AND PAIR OF TROUSERS.

Among the defendants in the city

mad stolen lot of blankets and other

turned over to the county and is now
an inmate of the equity jail
The bed clothing alleged to have
been stolen were introduced in the

ever. the most interesting and anus

court he had brought along for Jack

TWENTY ACRES
OF RADISHES
TO Be PLANTED
EscAMRlA COUNTY FARMERS BE-
GINNING TO GROW EARLY
VEGETABLES FOR NORTHERN
MARkET-RAopisH CROP ONLY
A BEGINNER.

Farmers of Roberts, Gonzalez and
Cottage Hill are now at work putting
their ground into shape to plant
crop of radishes. and unless some
thing unforeseen happens the farmers
VIII market between twenty and forty
acres of this particular early vegetable
within two months. A representative
or The Journal visited the Roberts
nelghborhood yesterday and was
shown some OF the lands that are
being put into proper condition.
The farmers are very enthusiastic
over the proposition and have all en-
tered into the project with vigor and
determination. No farmer is to plant
more than one acre while several OF
them are only planting a quarter or a
half acre as they prefer but there is
an organization among them and the
organization is to market the crop, me-
got1ations for the marketing being
made by the secretary Already the
farmers have promised to plant TWEEN
~ acres of radishes and more are to
join the organization. One hundred
and seventy-five pounds of seed were
ordered yesterday and by the time the
seed arrive the ground will be in the
proper shape for planting All of the
farmers will plant the seeds the same
day and there win be a friendly con-
test among them to see who can make
the largest and best yield
In speaking of the farmers organ
ization Mr. Hardy said that the
scheme to grow radishes was only a
beginner. Tt was the quickest crop
that we could begin with, and 1t is
merely the beginning of a movement
which will reveal the fact that the
farmers may become rich by growing
the proper crops for the northern mar
ket.'
After we market the radishes," he
continued. I'VE may take up cucum-
bers, cantaloupes, cabbage, potatoes,
and strawberries, and by working to-
gether we can get the highest market
prices"
viii Need Barrels.
Mr. Hardy is always seeing an OPP
portunity to promote some home in
dustry and pointed out that even for
the small acreage of radishes that is
to be planted that a large number of
barrels in which to pack the produce
for shipment will be needed. The
produce from an acre will amount to
from thirty to hundred barrels and
at the very. least calculation between
600 and 1000 barrels will be required
for the shipment of the crop. These
barrels will have to be supplied" said
Mr. Hardy, and a home concern
ought to make them"

One Man
In a Million.

DR.. Head, the county treasurer Of
HillsboRough, is in a class by himself.
He has just made a report of the
transa ctions Of his ONCE for the year
1911 which shows that, during that
year, he turned into the county treas
ury the sum of $500. representing
that portion Of the fees received by
him as county treasurer over and
above what he considered a fair and
reasonable compensation for the SER
vices rendered.
It is stated that DR.. Head kept for
himself about $4,000 of the earnings
of the ONCE, which may be~xegarded
as fair salary for the work required
of a county treasurer The fact that
he has paid $500 to the county over
and above this reasonable compensa-
tion shows, very clearly, not only that
the fee system grossly overpays coun-
ty treasurers but also grossly over
pays those who hold other county Of
fees similarly paid.
The foregoing is from the Tampa
Tribune, and while it would be unrea-
sonable to expect other men in the
state to do likewise, and The Journal
would not ask that they do so, it
serves to call attention to the unfair
ness Of the fee system which is a dis
grace to our civilization.
Now is the time to begin the fight
against the fee system. It is too late
when we wait until the legislature
meets and then have to work against
lobby of representatives OF the fee
system beneficiaries.
There are today hundreds of good
men and women teaching the boys
and girls of Florida in the public
schools who are not receiving half the
money that they should receive. and II
is high time that there was a read
justment of salaries paid to the ones
serving the public.
II the enormous fees paid to ONCE
holders went into the county treasury
and the officers were paid good, sub
stantial and adequate salaries Their
the people would be willing to pay
more taxes for school purposes and
the officeholders would serve quite as
capably as they do now.
The Journal is glad to see so many
OF these officeholders have the man
hood to come out and say they think
the system is wrong and that they are
against it.
