EXHIBIT
At EXPOSITION

a. a. French, OF Sanford, COM
missioner from the state of Flor
ida for the Panama-Pacihc In
ternational Exposition, is en-
thusiastlc over the plan Of max
ing an exhibit truly worthy of
Florida in this great exposition
to be opened in February next,
at San Francisco.
The people OF Florida, he says,
must make good in this thing
tor it will be the greatest adver-
tiSing the state can possible re-
ceive to be creditably noticed by
representative people from ev-
cry, or almost very, nation in the
world.
Mr.. French believes there are
products OF the soil, workshop,
factory and grove in Florida that
cannot be placed in competition
with similar products from any
other country in the world be-
cause the Florida products are
way above all others Of like kind.
Many of these Florida things, he
declares, must Of necessity be
awarded gold medals for excel
lency and the ability to use re-
pleas OF these medals, or pho
tograph1c reproductions Of them
on the wrappers and castings Of
the products, will give a stand
ing that must be respected and
sought after by the consumers
Of such products over the world.
Florida has no fear of compel
ing with California in anything,
he declared; and a proper exhi-
bit Of Florida fruits in the great
California city while of course
not possible to be as large as the
same kind Of exhibit from Cali
fornia, will show the world that
the state does not hesitate to
place for comparison sample
OF its products alongside the
many-foid larger samples from
the Golden West.
1t is quality, not quantity, that
counts, he says, and proper dis
play.
MIR. French was the original
exposition exhibit man Of Flor
ida after the Panama Pacific ex-
position location was settled,
and he has devoted much time
and capital to arousing interest
in the exhibit Jacksonville

crop in 1913 was the largest ever
harvested, and when, on top OF
that, the present indication is for
a crop 100000 bushels larger
still, it is evident that the posi-
bilities OF the agricultural United
States are considerably greater
than what the experts OF 1914 al
lowed to it. That is only one Of
the numerous reminders of how

NINE HUNDRED MILLION
BUSHELS OF WHEAT.

Such a harvest, as it happens,
would be larger by nearly eigh-
teen per cent than the lergest
previous wheat yield in this
country's history. 1t would ex-
coed by not quite forty-6ve per
cent. the wheat crop of as recent
ayear as 1911. 1t would be thir-
ty-tour per cent. greater than
the country's ! average annua
wheat production in the past ten
years. What is perhaps the
most singular of al recollections
suggested by the estimate for
1914 is that exactly ten years
ago, when our wheat crop was
only 552,ooo,ooo bushels, the
foreign centres etaoin Su cmfwt
prediction was general, among
the best experts in home and
foreign centres OF the grain |
trade, that our capacity as a
Wheat-eNporting nation was like
ly to decrease rapidly thereafter
through increase in the num-
Der of bread consumers at home,
and through our inability to in
crease Our harveSts. The con-
CluSiOn drawn from that as
sumed probability was that,
within a few years, the United
States would be compelled to i'm
port wheat in great quantity from
other countries in order to have
enough to feed its own people.
Port of the prophecy was full
filled; Our people, during the last
ten years, appear by the grain
trades figures to have consumed
fully 100000 bushels more
OF wheat per annum, than they
used on the average in the pre-
ceeding decade. In the mean !
time, however, not only has the
of land under wheat cul- /
tivation increased in this Conn
try, but more careful and scien-
tifc farming process have so far
the average yield to the !
acre that the average harvest
since 1914 has also increased !
bushels oyer what it
had been in the ten wears before. !
The unprecedented size of the !
wheat crop foreshadowed for !
1911 is partly a result of unus- !
lallv favorable weather; but it !
is also largely a consequence Of {
he bebtter farming methods, J
which our Department Of Agri- s
culture at Washington, our state s
agricultural bureaus. and agri- 6
instruction staffs Of our !
Western state universities have 5
nsistentlv been teaching to the {

Baseball players are neither miners,
hodcarriers nor ditch-diggers. They

in the big league camps and / am

Inning

Reading, Pa, July 23.-Inability to
hit Bohen, lost the game or Harris

ond. 1t was a fast fielding game.
Reading chalked up their sixth
straight victory.
Bohen did mound duty for the Hoff-
NANTES and his assortment was un-
solvable when hits meant runs. Dur
ing the last five innings he failed to
allow Harrisburg a hit.
The Senators got one in the initial
session on Keyes' double and Cockill's S
three-bagger. They added another in
the second on a free ticket to Whelan,
McCarthys sacrifice and Emerson's
double.
Manager Hoffman's triple. with
Joyce and Covelskie on, registered
two for Reading in the third. Cruth-
ers single and Bohen's double brought
across the winning run in the fourth.
