COLONEL PETER o. KNIGHT,
FARMER

One of our state exchanges actually
derides Colonel Peter o. knight be-
cause he posed as a farmer at the
! Tampa Tribune banquet, minus "over-
alls," and did not show any corns on
his lily-white hands. Dressed as he
was in the latest Paris fashion, sug-
gested the idea that he was only a
farmer by proxy. So many people and
newspapers seem to take it for grant
ed that a farmer must be forever I'M
kempt and jaded in appearance, and
must never wear good clothes, even
at a press banquet, where they are
supposed to meet the "moulders of
public opinion with their wives and
daughters.
Why Gains offering unto the Lord"
which was of the fruits of the
ground" was not acceptable to him,
and Abers which was "of the first
lings of his flock" was, is mystery
that we have been wholly unable to
unravel, but it is no less a mystery
than that farming all along the ages
even by farmers should be more or
less discredited-a target for ribald
testers, punsters and cartoonists.
, Happily for the country, there, is
coming on the stage of activities such
n +b;oo &c "prOoroccivao forming in
contradistinction to "reactionary" or
'slovenly" farming, and the followers
of this honorable avocation are not
going always to be depicted in the
garb of coatless, long-whiskered illit-
crates.
We want to see a new phase put
on farming. We want to see the press
of the country refer to the farmer in
more elevating tones. We want to see
him cartooned more in the chubby
shape of John Bull than always re-
sembling the imprint of the lean and
hungry Cassius.
We want to see him depicted just as
Colonel Peter o. knight appeared at
the Tampa Tribune banquet, rather
than in the garb of the present day
cartoonist of the big city dailies.
We have a bunch of progressive
farmers in Marion county who look
for all the world like Coolnel Peter
looked at the Stovall banquet.
They are breveted with titles, they
carry big bank accounts, ride in auto
mobiles, wear diamond rings and
spend their summers at Saratoga,
White Sulphur, and seashore and
mountain resorts, and mingIe with the
beauty and fashion and literrati of
the nation.
Why shouldn't they?
We want to see more of this pros
porous class of farmers, and when
we read in the public prints that the
farmers of Manatee county the past
season received for their tomato crop
alone one million five hundred thou.
sand dollars we feel assured that our
Marion county bunch of intensive II
progressive" farmers will not feel
lonesome at the watering places and
mountain resorts that we have nam.
ed, but will have plenty of company
from south Florida, with their bic
bank rolls, which make living a lux.
ury and life worth while.
The farmers are rapidly coming
into possession of their own and will
soon become the nabobs and pluto,
Gratis of the nation. Colonel Peter is
wise to get in on the ground floor.

IOd bless the flag! Let 1t float and

While its colors blush warm on your
