SOUTH'S GRAIN CROP WORTH
MORE THAN COTTON

One of The gratifying surprises of
the year, both in Florida and most
of the other Southern States, is the
great corn crop that has been
grown and the clear demonstration
of the fact that by improved cultural
methods we can raise that staple in
ample quantities for our own pur-
poses and even make 1t to some ex-
tent a money crop. The Jackson,
Mich, Patriot, whose editor is a
regular winter resident of Florida
and keeps close track of Southern
affairs generally, has this to say en-
the subject:
ten years ago no one would have
thought it possible that the greater
money value of crops in the South
would be grain and food instead of
cotton. The last government crop
report by States shows that this is
true of the present year. R. II. Ed
munds, editor of the Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore, says the
amazing revelation that the South's
grain crop for 1915 will be worth
several hundred million dollars more

than. the most valuable cotton crop
ever raised in the South has aroused
interest from one end of the land to
the other
"a prominent Bostonian, William
III. Bowker, speaks of the extraordi-
nary significance contained in the
statement that the grain crops of
the South are this year to be of
greater money value than the most
remunerative cotton crop ever
raised. New. England has always
looked upon the South as chiefly a
otton-producing section of the
country-that is to say, the South
raised cotton to the exclusion of 9TH
er agricultural products.
This fact confirms the prophecy
that, both in manufactures and in
agriculture, the next twenty-five
years is going to witness greater
progress in our southern states than
in any other section of this coun-
try"

We had been under the impression
that the next meeting of the Florida
division Of the United Confederate
Veterans would be held in Palatka,
but it seems not. The meeting will
be held in Ocala and the selection is
a most happy one, for that city
abounds in Confederate veterans and
Confederate memories and the old
soldiers are sure of a welcome with
out stint or division. The Ocala
Star says:
Our contemporaries will do Ocala

DESERVED PRAISE FOR CHIEF
OF CANNING CLUB GIRLS

"The charming, efficient and I'M
tirin2 Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, state
agent for the girls canning club
work in Florida, favored Plant City
with a brief visist recently. Miss
Harris is one of Florida's greatest
women, and is doing more for the
girls of the state than any other one
woman known to the Courier. She
is an inspiration, genious and an
angel of prosperity. From this YOU
will perhaps gather that we endorce
Miss Harris. We do Some time we
are going to borrow some language
from Robert Ingersoll,' plagiarize d
bit from Henry Grady, and weave
a few of Bob Taylor's verbal bou-
quets into slight appreciation of
Miss Harris and her work.
From the above tribute it is evil
dent that Miss Harris and her work
have made a profound impression
upon Editor Wayne Thomas of the
Plant City Courier, and the young
woman is indeed worthy of the COM
pliment paid her.
Miss Harris, who is a member of
family of noted educators, has
done truly wonderful work in teach
ing domestic science to the young
women of Florida, and the canning
club work in which she is now en-
galged is certain to produce a profit
able harvest in future years. Her
work is practical in character, and
the teaching of that which is prac-
teal is the sorest need of all educa-
tional institutions, from kindergar-
tens to the greatest universities

The News wishes to add its heart
lest endorsement to all the good
things these two papers have to say
of the work done by Miss Harris.
The example set by such a leader
should be worth much to the women
of Florida Pensacola News.

and critical appreciation of the fine
qualities of the leaders on both sides.

Editor Hancock of the Savannah
News, who died the other day and
left behind him the pleasant men,
DRY of one of the best written edi-
torial pages in American journalism
during the many years that he wrote
1t, left something else, too, much
more substantial and which, doubt
less, brought more satisfaction to his
heirs. He left an estate worth
500, 200, and as he was an employc
working for pay envelope every
Saturday the wonder is how he did
it. Some secrets are so subtle and
psychological that they are not
transmissible, and one of them is
how IA hired man on a Georgia news
paper could save up that sum of
money even though his days were
prolonged as those of old Methuse-
lah.

SOURCES OF THE RAIL
SHIPPED TOMATO CROP

Beginning early in the year and
continuing until late in the fall.
tomatoes are shipped commercially
from over half of the states of the
Union. There is probably no other
perishable vegetable commonly
grown out of doors in the United
States which appears on the market
through a longer season than does
the tomato.
Florida, of course, with it's loca-
tion and climate, stands as the pre-
mier tomato state, and starts the to-
mato movement each year in jan
uary. The Northern states, such az
New York and, Ohio, finish out the
season in October. and by the tina
the movement is over, approximately
10000 cars are moved for table con-
sumption, according to a recent sur
vey made by the Department of Ag-
riculture and published in Bulletin
No. 200, Rail Shipments and Distri-
button of Fresh Tomatoes in 1914.

The Tampa Tribune has done we'll
to shut of what promised to be en-
endless controversy among its CORE
spondents concerning the social
status of the negro at the North.
The subject is irritating and in some
of its aspects disgusting. and there
can be no profit in prolong ing it. We
can't control the negro social status
at the North, but we can and do
down here, with the result that the
Southern negro is a much more de-
sirable citizen than his brother at
the North. Time and experience
have fully indicated the Southern
attitude in this matter; in fact no
other is possible If the South is to
remain civilized.

Florida Ships Half

Florida ships about half the toma-

Mississippi, New Jersey and Texas

matoes in smaller quantities, but in
certain districts, such as west Tenn

pOrtance.

exclude those going to canneries
and catsup factories. When demand
for tomatoes in the markets is
heavy, it is more profitable to ship

intended for the canneries but if the
market is weak larger quantities are
offered for canning.

The action of few self-consti-
tuted leaders of the Republican
party of this state in RELOCATING to
innecuous desuetude. The direct
primary election law and calling
of star chamber meeting at Poe
atello last week. greatly reminds us
of steam-roller days.
The primary law was designed for
the special purpose of enabling vot-
ers to decide for themselves whom
they desired to stand for election to
the various state and county offices,
Senators Borah and Brady seem to
have abrogoted this and to have as
sumed the prerogative of naming
who shall stand for the office of
governor on the ticket they repre-
sent. D. B. Davis, the American
Falls banker-farmer, himself pow
er in the Mormon church, was the
man chosen to carry the banner at
the head of the Republican process
ion. He was not accepted to either
Borah or Committeeman Hart, but
through the Vaccinations of Sena-
tor Electric" Jim Brady, was set
tied upon as the candidate.
The northern part of the state
seems to be accumulating gubernat-
orial strength in the person of Geo.
W. Crum, of Lewiston Mr.. Crum
is broad-minded business man, of
good gubernatorial timber; has the
undivided support of this section
and stands good chance of elect
ION. Davis, on the other hand, is
the progeny and factatum of pow
erful oligarchy--the Mormon church
and it seems that the sponsors of
the meeting are anxious to conciliate
that faction and to do so have, a.
mong themselves, chosen man
pleasing to the Utah element.
| 1t may work, but to us it seems
that it may prove reaction and work
to the undoing of those responsible
for the action of the meeting.
Let's stick to the primary law.
By>so doing self-constituted bosses
will be taught that the people are
the ruling class, and have the right
to say who shall represent them.
