SIGNIFICANT REPORTS

Reports interesting to Florida have
Just been made to the secretary OF
the interior by the SuperintendentS
Of the various national parks in II
west
They are interesting because they
indicate that the travel, which in
previous years has been going to Eu-
rope, has not turned to this country
and that many people are now see.
ing America first They are in
teresting to Florida because they in
dicate that the tourists who during
the past summer, found interest and
recreation in the great parks of the
country in the mountains of the
west. will be seeking new fields this
winter for travel and exploration.
In Yellowstone park there were
this year 81, $50 visitors. or two and
one-half times as many as there were
last year. Yosemite park was visited
by twice as many people this year
as last. At Mount Rainier there was
an increase of one hundred per cent
in the visitors, and SO the reports &C
for almost all of the national parks
A suggestive statement in the re,
port is that the policy of admitting
automobiles to the parks is partly
responsible for the increases noted
All of this is indication that Flor.
ida viii b. visited by man! more peo
pie this year than ever before, ant
with the designation and completion
of the great highway leading into
the state. that travel will be largell
augmented by those who will MAKE
the trip in automobiles Miami Her

STRENUOUS CAMPAIGN FOR
FEDERAL AID OF CANKER

A strenuous campaign to secure fed
cral aid for the eradication of citrus
canker in the United States, is being
waged by ID. c. Gillett. of Tampa,
chairman of the committee of five
appointed at the citrus Seminar in
Gainesville recently.
Mr. Gillett has sent out letters to
all real estate operators in Florida
and asked them to send him list
oi their contract holders and pur-
chascrs of land, giving names an!
| addresses, residing in Florida and olt
of the state more particularly non
residents. ~ assure you that this list
! will be used only for the purpose OF
appeal to them to enlist the support
of representatives and senator's from
the sections in which they live nc
declares.
I'VE are going before the next con-
Prcss IA king for sufficient approp-
Ration TO confiscatc, eXterminate
trees and compensate owners for the
value of the property destroyed; in
other words we are asking the gov
ernmcnt to rid the United States Of
the citrus canker. a disease more con-
tagiouS to trees than is smallpox to
the human typhoid. and to the citrus
tree more deadly than tuberculosis"
he adds, and then continues
| 'G,rba ,uritarfo ht,einacc Of
by this publicity just as much as any
real estate dealer in Florida. | want
to venture the prediction here and
now, that unless we are successful
in this movement there will be no
citrus industry to protect in a very
short time. Already one state has
quarantined against the shipment Of
citrus fruits from Florida this COM
ing season If other states should
adopt similar methods you will see
at a glance the product has no sale.
The reaction which will compensate
for this publicity will come quickly,
for with federal aid confidence will
again be restored.
The appropriation of the Florida
: legislature last April of s125.0O0
will be exhausted by February next.
if not sooner. and more than a year
elapses before they convene again.
