his trade, but are conceited enough
to be fully certain that they could do
it quite as well If not better than
the man who is on the job and who
has put in years of toll to learn how
to do it right.
The Emporia (Kansas) Gazette,
whose famous editor, William Allan
White, is perhaps the most expert
country editor" in the United
States, at every form and phase Of
the work, has touched up this sub !.
ject in a recent issue of his paper
and from ii we take the following:
zone Of the hardest Jobs every
editor does-though generally The
pleasantest-is to read his ex-
changes. But it is hard work, and
it must be done. For the editor
who gets a day or two "back" in his
exchanges never catches up. And
the thing that makes him maddest,
though he will look up and greet
the stranger with a smile who does
it, is for a man to come in saying:
We'll, saw You were sitting there
doing nothing but reading, so I
thought I'd just pass the time of
day with you
Remember this, you who would
have business with the editor: It's
all right to- come in when he's read :
ing or writing Or editing copy. but
don't get it into your head that
when he is reading his exchanges
you have come in the idle hour, How
can an editor get any ideas If he
doesn't read others ideas? Do you
think he sits down and thinks 'em
out of his head? Well, he doesn't.
He reads score Of paDers every
morning, and from one or two he
gets a suggestion or two. Some
times he finds an item that makes
him mad; then he writes we'll :.
Sometimes vagrant item, pay
local, telegraphic head, an adver-
tisement starts rich train of sugges
ton. But the sure way to wreck
the train and make your paper
stupid and inane is to come bustling
in when he is reading the exchanges
he is doing the best work of his
day"

What is the matter with the
turkeys? Even now in almost
every hammock bay-head and
brake and scrub, there is flock
of wild turkeys, in truth they are
indigenous to Florida, and live
the year round, on berries, bugs
and nuts, in the Florida woods,
and they are the gamiest, juciest,
latest ever.

I've worked, ship in through
Lakeland, 200 to 500 turkeys at

grow 80 to 90 bushels of kaffer
corn the acre, its ideal poultry

WHY THE BIG, BRAINY,
PRACTICAL PEOPLE, IN
THE CITRUS NURSERY
BUSINESS, ARE IN
POLK COUNTY.

Talking about citrus fruits,
and their native heaths-the
big nurseries a few year sage,
were up about the southeast
Georgia line and in Baker coun-
ty, Fla, and when l first knew
Myron Gillet and John We'll
Der they occupied a homestead
on south Lake Weir, and in a
modest way grew nursery stock
thereon. 1t is said sane folks
profit by their own experiences,
land the failures of their neigh
bors. OF course you know that
now, and for years, everyone of
the big citrus fruit nurseries, are
practically in the center of Polk
county. Go to Winter Haven,
Eagle Lake, Lucerne, Dundee,
and Lake Annie and to Lake
Wales, and Altevies, and see
the Glen Saint Mary's from the
Georgia line. The Gilletts from
Marion county, the Griffiing
Bros, from Baker county, and
the lesser lights from all up
state, they all know when it is
sane and safe, at all times to
grow such vigorously tender
stock as budded citrus varieties,
and you'll find them on the high
ridge lands, in the center of
Polk county. And while you are
there, on your tours of inspec-
ton, observe, carefully the sails,
and the adjacent-natural timber
/ growth-up to the fences on ev-
cry side of these prosperous and
prospecting nurseries, and walk
in and see and heft and eat of the
fruits in any of the nearby
groves, and | tell you here and
now, up at the north end of Lake
Parker-in plain sight of the city
of Lakeland-on the Deeson Is
land, and on the east side of the
narrows, are hundreds of acres
of the very best citrus nursery
lands on this earth. And south
east of Pauway, and on Millseat
branch, on the old wagon road
from Lakeland to Barlow, there
are other thousands of acres-all
now wild lands that is the very
cream OF nursery and citrus
fruit lands.
