POLK AND THE GOOD
ROADS PROPAGANDA.

Following the example set by
their brothers of Hillsborough,
the progressive citizens of Polk
county, represented by the Polk
County Good Roads association,
are preparing to have the county
bonded for a million dollars, to
be used in paving highways.
With that end in view. an edu-
cational campaign has been con-
Quoted for some time, and it is
predicted that a large majority
will be recorded for bonds when
THE election is held.
Displaying a degree of COM
mon sense. the good roads en-
thusiasts are moving carefully
before making large expendi-
lures. They are thoroughly
testing paving materials of diff
ferent kinds. and last week men,
bers of the good roads associa-
ton loaned the county commits
sioners $4,000 with which to
pave FIVE quarter miles stretches
with a sand and asphalt combi-
nation. Tests of various kinds
will be made before the million
dollar bond election is held. and
the best results will he secured
when the great work is finally
launched.
The state press is at present
,devoting considerable attention
to the proposed Chicago-Miami
highway and the demand Is gen
eral that South Florida get in
line" with this movement. The
best possible way for so doing

Glenwood, and he has had the

especially during these hard
times. The writer remembers
years ago, when Magnolia ave-
niue was the show orange district
of California. What is it today?
That street proves to the writer
that it is impossible to market
fruit not in good quality and get
away with it forever.
In our estimation the Californ-
ia orange business is simply go
ing to be a survival of the fttest,
and a grower who does not raise
good fruit and a packer who
does not take pains to pick and
pack carefully and handle in
first class shape are going out OF
the business. AS long as Flori-
da has the quality of fruit that
they have today. grower and
shipper in California has got to
get on the Job and stay there.
If we had our way about it, we
would instruct the chief of police
OF Riverside to put paddock on
every packing house door the
first day of November and not
allow it to be opened before the
first day OF March. Then when
Riverside navels came, back east
they would naturally work up a
trade for themselves. In our es-
timation it is not the fault OF the
way the California business in
the East is handled that is pro-
ducing present prices. 1t is the
fault of the growers and shippers
of coarse oranges. and the big
Florida crop, and the hard times.
We have been through such
slumps as this everal times, and
old sunny California generally
comes back. and we are hoping
to see better times next year.
The proposed plan of the Riv-
erside exchange would add25 per
cent to the present cheap cost Of
marketing as compared with the
prevailing charges, without pro-
ducing an appreciable benefit in
higher net returns. There is no
business in the world handled
as cheap and in as up-to-date
manner as the California bust
ness is at present in New York.
