Dr.. Bahnsen Issues Report
Of Work to Commissioner

Cotton seed meal and corn or corn and
sorghum ensilage is one of the least
expensive, and, at the same time, one
of the best combinations for finishing
cattle for market available"
DR.. Bahnsen has long had the hear
tiest cooperation of the Cotton Seed
Crushers' association of Georgia il
his effort to rid the state of the cattle
tick, and many of the mills in Geor-
gia have built, at their own expense,
concrete dipping watts along the speci-
fications furnished by DR.. Bahnsen.
With the heavy demand abroad, as
well as at home, for meat, and the
gradual eradication of the cattle tick,
it is believed that the cattle raising
industry will continue to grow in favor
not only in Georgia but throughout the
South.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The suffrage
campaign fund provided in the will of
the late Mr.. Frank Leslie, known as
the aBroness de Bazus, will reach s.
100000, and the suffrage leaders are
rejoicing over the fortune that has
come to them. The only barrier in the

cattle raising states in the South, paid
a high tribute to cotton seed meal

Commissioner Price. His tribute to
this extremely nutritious and very in
expensive feed is as follows: Every
pound of cotton seed meal fed on the
farm helps to make the owner, or the
tenant rich; every pound of this great
feeding concentrate sold outside of the
state means a direct loss to the state

should go into the Florida Citrus

1t is a common thing to raise
three crops year on the same
land.
Horticulture
Nine million boxes of oranges
and grapefruit, unexcelled in
quality the world over, is the last
years yield. Some grapefruit
groves run into hundreds of acres.
New groves are being made-to
bear in three years and withstand
cold.
Pineapples have attained the
highest development. All semi
tropical fruits are grown, avoca-
does, guavas, lines, bananas, etc.
Timber
In the northern portion and in
the hammocks there are hard
woods-such as oak and hickory.
In the more level regions, cy-
press and, generally, the yellow
pine. The output of rosin and
turpentine from the pine amounts
in value annually to about $1S,-

ties, poles and fuel,
Live Stock
There are splendid prairies and
grazing lands and the cattle in
dustry including sheep and hogs,
is one Of the most important and
growing, Scarcely 25 per cent of
the land is under cultivation.
Fish and Oysters
The interior lakes, which are
numerous and beautiful, the riv-
ers, the coast waters, abound in
great varieties of fish.
The oysters, on the Gulf and
Atlantic, are famous. Supplies
lnexhaustible in both fish and
oysters. Sponge off the southern
coast surpass those of the Medi-
terranean and sponging as well as
fishing are valuable industries.

some of the opportunities await

altogether ignored. Immense crops
have been produced without pro-
per consideration of whether or
not there was an adequate con-
sumner demand for the fruit. Enor-
nous shipments have been made
to the recognized fruit centers of
the country, without regard to
their capacity to absorb the sup
ply Of fruit thus thrust upon them
New and comparatively unknown
fruits have been planted and bro
ught into bearing in tremendous
quantity without any adequate
educational campaign to acquaint
the people with the nature of the
fruit. The grower has been at
the mercy of the market condi-
tions and himself has ignored the
relations between his costs of pro-
duction and selling and the pric-
es at which his crops have been
of.
The Florida Citrus Exchange
has led the movement for better
things. 1t introduced into the
State the era Of better fruit grow
ing and better packing. 1t alone
of all the marketing agencies in
Florida has contributed anything
to the solution of the problems of
the growers on sane scientific
lines. Today it stands in a posi-
ton of great stragetic advantage,
both with the growers and the
fruit trade of the country. 1t
must go forward, however. It's
past experience has pointed the
way to success on a sound and
substantial foundation. Unless
it takes advantage of the oppOr-
tunities that have been thrown in
its pathway, the days of its use
fulnesS are numbered. These are
plain words, but it is time for
plain speaking. 1t is inconceiv-
able that an industry possessing
the wonderful possibilities for
profit that are inherent in the
citrus groves Of Florida should be
allowed to perish by lack of ap-
plication thereto Of business prin-
ciples. Unless the growers them
selves will make this application
