The greatness of the South, and
the prominence of Florida in the
South is not appreciated to the
fullest extent by those who have
been here for years, and the
changes wrought before their eyes
may perhaps have seemed local
and gradual, but the development
has been general and the face of
Florida has been changed, and
daily is being further changed.
The world today stands by in
awe, witnessing a Southern rush
so much more intense than any
Westward rush that ever occurred,
that there is no comparison.
The United States Government
is spending thousands, and every
State in the Union is spending
thousands, to teach to the farmers,
the backbone of any country, the
true value of cooperation, and
the American Commission of Ag-
ricultural Cooperation, composed
of a hundred men, are travelling
the old worlds in search of any
items that may help to raise the
standard of American Husbandry,
and that may increase the flow of

SOUTH FLORIDA PROSPERITY
Crops are FIouishing and Yielding
Good Refnrns-Fertiie Lands

Those who travel over this sec.
tion of Florida agree in saying
that the present season is the mos!
prosperous eyer known. The
crops have been remarkably good
and the products are bringing
good prices. In every town in
South Florida, growers are reap
ing immediate and handsome re-
turns. from their vegetable ship
ments. At Plant City, many car
loads of tomatoes are being ship
ped daily and the same is true of
the Manatee section. Good crops
and good prices are stimulating
business in all these towns and
Tampa, which is the center of this
productive territory, is reaping,
of course, its share of the benefits
of this activity.
1t would be difficult to find,
anywhere else in the world, a re-
gion which yields such ready re-
turns to it's Industrious citizens.
The success of the farmers is re-
fected in the progress that is not
able throughout South Florida.
Every town is doing public work
of importance, paving streets,
putting in lighting, water and sew
erage systems or extending those
already in operation, substantial
and modern business buildings
and attractive homes are being
built, the banks are in fine condi-
tion and their deposits increasing
steadily and rapidly, new citizens
are moving in and new business
enterprises opening. From the
fertile soil has sprung the basis
of much of this prosperity and the
source of supply is inexhaustible.
This Is the Golden Season of the
year in South Florida, better even
than our far famed winter season,
because more productive; and this
is the best of these Golden Seasons
we have enjoyed in years. No
one who visits these live South
Florida towns can have any doubt
as to the permanency oftour pros
perity and the certainty of our
continued growth. Tampa Tri-
bune.

ONE OF OUR PARKS
An Idyllie Spot Beautified by VaIua'
bic Trees and Shrubs

A recent visitor to our city made
a remark relative to the necessity
for u park where visitors might
sit and enjoy looking out upon the
waters of beautiful Charlotte Har-
Dor. 1t seems strange that any
one could pass our water front
without observing a charming lit.
tie shady park that was planted
and cared for by Col. j. G. Pepper
during hislife time. Many seats
have been placed thereby the la
dies of the Civic Association, and
if the cows were not allowed first
privileges there, more idyllic
spot could not be imagined.
In this little park are 70 differ
ent kinds of trees and shrubs and
probably nota half dozen per-
sons in our town could name them
if they tried. A large, fine speci-
men of a Jacaranda tree, which
must be 16 years old, is now in
bloom. Close to it are two ex-
ceedingly fine specimens of Phoe,
nix palm, one a humills and the
other probably canariensis. A
Sabal Palmetto with a trunk twen-
ty feet tall is a perfect specimen
of its kind. Besides these are a
fine and thrifty Magnolia that
blossoms every year, Cinnamon
tree that has been bearing several
years, two Erythrina bushes, one
Tabernemontana, two large Olean-
der trees and four native pines 20
or 25 feet high. A fine clump of
bamboo some so feet tall and a
guava tree and Spanish Bayonet
complete the list.
Did any one of you know that
our park contained such fine as
sortment of tropical trees and
shrubs? Before the fence rotted
down and cattle got into it there
were many more. Grass grows
freely all over the ground in this
park and on the street abutting,
and any other town that could
boast of as much in the way of
park would see that it was we'll
cared for and protected. The
writer does not know of a park
between Punta Gorda and Jack
sonviIle that can boast of great
er variety of thrifty and handsome
specimens of tropical trees. If they
have should tell their readers about
them. 1t isn't a bad idea to call
the attention of those at home to
the angels they may. be entertain.

The Southern Settlement and
Development Organization, launch
ed by sixteen Southern Governors
among them former Governor
Gilchrist, is a wonderful organiza-
ton which is responsible for a
great part of the development of
the whole South. This organiza-
tion is like many others working
for Greater Dixie.
Florida is state with possibil-
tiles SO great and future so
promising that the tales of the
Arabian Nights" may pale in
comparison with the changes to
be wrought in the coming genera
ton.
A change of certain conditions
cooperation only can bring about,
and the Florida Growers and
Shippers League, which is now
being organized, is an agency that
will work toward the desired end.
b. L. Hammer Of Tampa, is
about to commence the work Of
organization and to inaugurate d
statewide campaign upon broad,
systematic and successful lines.
The organization is to work for
better transportation facilities,
rates that are fair and Just and
right, for statewide improvements
in all lines and for local improve
ments in all communities. It shalt
mean not only dollars and cents
and hundreds and thousands and
even millions of them to the State,
If the success is only half what
was accomplished in California by
a similar organization.
To this community and to every
community in the State the plan
is OF great Importance. There is
to be the main central League.
which is to look after the needed
reforms, and projections, and
safeguards for the State at large.
and the members of the League,
vegetable and fruit growers and
all persons interested in greater.
Florida, are each to automatically
become members of the central or
and in each community
is to be a local League, composed
OF all members of the central
League in the vicinity of each To-
cal League.
These local Leagues will create
civic pride and friendly rivalry be-
tween communities, and will pro-
vide channel through which the
most efficient work can be done
and an avenue by which the gov
ernments may extend the aid and
assistance they are ever willing to
do, II there were only some reli-
able source Of reaching the pro-
gressivc, the active, and the simon
pure producers of the worlds

This League is not a party
movement, it is not a marketing
organization, it is not in the hands
of any clique, set of men, associa-
ion or combination of interests.

A few years ago there was
brought to Tampa and Miami a
Cuban whitefiy. From Tampa it
has spread west to ST. Petersburg,
south to Arcadia and Fort Myers
and east TO Winter Haven. Until
lately no cases of heavy infesta-
ton have occurred. A wasp-like
parasite has killed large per-
centage of the larvae. Investiga-
tions in Cuba showed that the
woolly whitefy was not such Sc
we're pest there. These facts led
us to hope that it would not be-
come a severe pest in Florida;
but lately it has developed to such
an extent as to assume somewhat
alarming proportions, and q warn
ing notice to growers is needed.
In the area above mentioned this
whiteAy is becoming more abun-
dant, and In one grove In Lake.

the common citrus whitefy ever

From the common whitefy

winged whitefiy "a. nubifera) this
"a. howardD is easily distinguish
ed by the woolly or cottony grow
th which entirely covers the larvae
except when very young, and
makes them quite conspicuous.
This woolly covering may reach
a thickness of an eighth of an
inch or more. The larvae give off
abundant honeydew which is not
thrown away from them as thor
oughly as with A. citri, but col
lects in shining drops in the wool,
making the under side of the leaf
appear as if coated with frost
or snow.
There is a fourth species of
whitefy in the State which is fire.
quently confused with the woolly
whitedy. This (Paraleyrodes per-
seae) may be called the bay or
waxy whitefy. Its larva is fur
nished with short rods of wax
which, when broken and scattered
over the surface of the leaves,
make it resemble somewhat the
woolly whitefy, but on closer
the two may be easily
distinguished. The wax rods of
the bay whitefy are short and
nearly straight, forming u thin
coating of no appreciable thick.

UNIQUE SCHOOL TERM.
Girl is Teacher to Her Brothers and
Sisters and State Pays
Bills.

CARR, Colo, Nov 20.-With only hel
brothers and sisters as pupils, Miss
Agnes Mantey, 20, today is conducting
on her fathers ranch seven miles north
of here the most unique school in the
state of Colorado. The school was es-
tablished recently and despite the
small number of pupils is a grade and
high school of equal standing with the
biggest schools in the state.
Miss Mantey was regularly appointed
to her position by the school directors
and draws a salary of $50 a month
from the county treasurer just like any
other public school teacher The school
district stood the expense of fitting up
the single classroom and Mantey's
| sons are the official junitors of the
building. The school was established
at the Mantey house when Mantey and
his wife represented to the school di-
rectors that their ranch was five miles
from the nearest school building and
that the Mantey children would growfl
up in ignorance unless the public au-
thorities acted.
Six Mantey children are enrolled in |
the grade school and one in the high |
school. Three of the Mantey children |
are under school age but it is said the |
district under pressure, may pay for
installing kindergarten for them. The
only pupil in the high school is Mary,
10, but the enrolment will be increas-
ed to two when Martha, ~, graduates
from the eighth grade next June and
is awarded a grade school diploma.
The only ripple in the calm course of
the school occurred when Teacher
Agnes claimed the right to infiict cor
poral punishment and was firmly re-
sisted by her mother who claimed that
exclusively. There has been

Big LAND SHOW
OPENED TODAY
FIRST APPEARANCE AT THE AN
NUAL SHOW OF EXHIBITS FROM
EASTERN STATES.
West Well Represented Canadian Gov.
ernment There In Force With
Magnificent Exhibit.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Thousands O.
farmers from all parts of the middle
west focked into Chicago today for the
opening of the United States land show
at the Coliseum The exhibition, one
of the most picturesque that is staged
here annually, will continue until De-
cember.
The feature of the show this year
that excited the most comment was the
marked invasion of the west by the
east. New York, West Virginia, Mary
land and Ohio were represented with
displays of the fruits of the soil, ="
rivalling those of any of the western
or southern states. The Maryland ex-
hibit was made by Frederick County,
while the three states were represented
through their state boards of agricul-
ture. 1t was West Virginia's first APP
pearance at the land show. Canada
was also represented by elaborate dis
plays made by the Dominion govern
ment the provincial governments of
British Columbia and Alberta and the
chamber of commerce of Edmonton
Mechanical models of irrigation sys-
tens and railway engineering feats in
the Rockies were the features of Cana
da's exhibits.
The west was represented by the
Great Northern railway with the larg-
est individual display in the Coliseum
the state of Oregon, Tulare county, |
Cal, and the seven southern counties |
of California in a joint exhibit. Be-
sides the agricultural displays, a Ora
cier National park travel show, in
,luding a band of Blackfoot chiefs, took
4 prominent part in the western exhi-
bit The state department of immigra-
ion of Alabama and Mississippi and
he boards of trade and commerce of
Jackson, Miss, and Houston, Texas,
ere the only southern community ex- I
ibits. The United States was officially
represented by the display of the de-
,artment of agriculture, congress hav-
ng made an appropriation of $4,000 {
or the display, which will be taken
rom Chicago to Tulsa, Okla, after the
xhibit here closes. f
The color scheme of the exhibition s
ras brown and green. In this setting, | t
anciful displays of fruits, cereals, and /
egetables were arranged to make the q
oliseum miniature market place" t
