DOLLAR DlPLO MACY
ABLY INDICATED

trade expansion is disclosed by a
glimpse at the national ledger. In
1907. American exports to Germany
amounted to s25s.5g5.OOO; in 1912
they reached $3O6,s5s, 900, a gain
OF substantially s5O,OOO,OOO. ia
psn in 1907 bought from the United
States goods to the value OF $685..
100000. In 1912 her purchases
amounted to 3,47S,OOO.
South America, where the present
administration has exerted-a1i its in
fuence towards the preservation of
peace and stable government, shows
wonderful increase in her business
relations with this country. In 1907
the expr~ts from the United States
Ito South America were valued at
, $50, 1877 900. in 1912 these exports
had grown to s132,311.Oo0.
Argentina is a good customer Of
ours. In 1907 we sold her goods to
the value of 2,16s. 900, but in
1912 her purchases from us
amounted to $50 ,15S,0OO. Brazil IN
1907 bought from US to the amount
of $1s,s9s,OOo, which included
$4,000 barrels of -four worth ST.
$50, O0e. But in 1919 her pur-
chases went up to sS4,67s.OOO and
included in this was $S,27s,OOO for
So, 900 barrels OF -four.
| Ut is such significant figures as
these that cause President Taft and
Secretary Knox to ignore the attacks
that are made upon the poT-cy OF
/, DOLLAR Diplomacy The results
are a reality and Gamble estimated
accurately, and the department of
state is entitled to a large share OF
the credit for these results.
Through appreciated assistance ex-
tended them by the department and
it's officers, American interests, dur
ing the present administration, have
secured contracts and concessions
from foreign governments of great
value and in new fields. The effici-
ency and alertness of the consular
service is shown by the fact that in
1905, the year previous to the or
ganizatio1f of the service, consular
officers abroad sent to the depart
ment total OF $500 commercial re-
ports, while in 1912 they prepared
and forwarded $4,000 reports of
this character.

there was no demand for it.
Fifteen years ago the best farmers
of the north would concede good points
for the cow pea for "the poor southern
lands" but rfdicule the idea Of its use
ON their fields. Now they freely regard
1t as indispensable.
Five to ten years from now they will
be calling through megaphones, 600
miles long, for velvet bean seed, and
Florida farmers will be growing 1t at
prices far more remunerative than the
corn and wheat crops grown on their
5000 lands.
To grow more tons of as nutritious
hay and forage crops per acre per year
on these cheap West Florida lands
than possibly be done in the north and
west is a, dead easy proposition.
The curing and preserving of these
crops, however, has been and is a far
more serious one.
The northern farmer has the long,
dry summer in which to cure, and the
cold winters to preserve his products.
Our continual moist atmosphere and
high temperature, while ideal for grow
ing, renders curing very difficult and
makes keeping these crops any length
of time an impossibility unless under
rainproof sheds which are very expen-
sive for bulky crops.

seat now occupied by Duncan U.
Fletcher is the statement made by the
friends of the ex-governor. Accord
ing to these adherents the governor in
tends to make formal announcement
of hts candidacy as soon as he returns
from his western trip. This makes
the second anrloun cement for this
coveted position and of course Sen
ator Fletcher will be a candidate to
succeed himself, making three known
candidates TO go before the primaries
next June. It is also said that Gov

seat and that State Senator Hudson,
OF Miami, has a liking for the place.
