Grating to the amount Of s.. 000 600
has been discovered in the conduct Of
the rurale corps by Mexican minister
Garcia Grandos who is conducting an
investigation of this department. The
cabinet minister has issued a state

was done by the paymasters and lesser

SUGGESTS WEST FLORIDA CROP
IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION

westviIle. Fla. March 10, 1913.
EDITOR Pensacola journal.
Please pern5t me the use of some
of the valuable space in your justly
popular and ably edited Pensacola
Journal.
I have read with deep interest and
silent appreciation your account in this
mornings paper of the organization of
a local association entitled, 1.-The Es-
Gambia Crop Improvement Associa-
tion," composed of leading business
men of the city-dt seems-and not
farmers as one might naturally sup
pose from It's title. But, on reading
the account of the object of the as
ISOLATION, the means and methods of
operation with the basic principles of
a broad generosity and true patriotism
underlying. my mind became enthused
with admiration and respect, and, al
though not a farmer myself, Il have
been on a small scaIel I have ever
felt a genuine and deep interest in the
success and prosperity of the noble
class and I at once mentally and 81
fently endorsed 1.-The Escambia Crop
Improvement Association" as one of
the wisest movements of the period
and we'll calculated to be productive
of untold benefits to all concerned If
carefully and diligently worked out on
the proposed basis Of a mutual CO.
operation between town and county.
But my chief object in this com
nlunfcation was not merely to express
my appr obatfon Of such a wise plan
but also to venture to suggest wider
appIica ton and field Of operations
aIeng that line.
Suppose that each county In West
Florida had such an organization COM
posed Of leading merchants and bust
ness men in the county. Then have the
local organization united in a general
association to meet annually-say at
the Interstate fair-where and when
they could report on the years progress
and discuss means and measures of
Improvement and progress. All Of
these associations, thus united under
broad and generous cooperative
principles, would be not only mutually
helpful. materially, but would also
prove to be a mutual stimulus 70 higher
excellency animated by noble ambd-
ton to excel.
It seems to me that In a few years
such success and prosperity would be
the natural result completely changing
present conditions and placing both
town and country on higher plane Of
prosperity.
Yours for town and county union,

Chinese have maintained one at Wash

China is trying to negotiate big

Is true and perhaps It VIII be best for
China to float this loan. It certainty

connection that the American bank

give a freer hand to President Wilson's

However, 1t should be remembered
that China has been a strict and un-

Here we have an instance of free

important southern farm crops, and
which combine cannot and will not
save the sugarcane and syrup industry,
but sti1 later, and more disastrous,
combination is suggested to dismantel
some of their centHfugals and go into
ma king OF syrup on a large scale.
This scheme would absolutely drive
our small syrup makers of Florida en-
tirely out of sugarcane, for while there
Is no surplus as yet in the worlds
supply of sugar, there is only limited
demand for syrup, and any shortage in
syrup is easily supplied by melting
sugar, but an over-supply of syrup Is
not easily, or profitably, converted into
sugar. Then so far as Florida is con-
cerned though we make the best syrup
In the world, our cane being so rich in
sucroSe and being sucn as to produce
two hundred (200) pounds of prime
yellow" centrifugal sugar per ton of
cane, our ultimate aim and hope Is
to raise sugarcane in Florida, in such
large quantities as to require a large
centrifugal factory or factories.
At scores OF places on our railroads,
the constant cry against protection"
is holding back, and has held back
the enlargement in planting In Florida.
and any reduction OF the duty on
sugar will reduce the price Of syrup
(now reduced to cents per gallon

cane growers back to cotton and ca
lamity.
OF the more than sixty planters,
from whom the writer bought syrup
the past season, scarce one VIII now

the entire lot will bolt the party two
years hence If a free sugar bill Is

Why is it, Mr.. Editor, that we are
pleading and praying for men to go
back to the farm" and at same breath
crying to reduce the cost of living"
and where win you find the man, or
boy, who is so philanthrophic as to go
back to any farm, or any factory, to
try to help reduce the cost of living?
We cannot reduce the cost of living
only by a panic and each individual
can reduce his cost by buying and
consuming less. What we need is a
high price for all we produce, and
higher wage to the man who does not
produce, and level up instead of down.
If production and consumption is
equalized we care not how high all
prices may run as long as the outside
would will buy our supplies. They
have for years past bought about a
half billion dollars more from us than
they sold to US, and that Is the real
secret of our wealth, and why we all
can and do live well.
