Grady's Story Clothed in New
Attire

Here is that reminder again of
F'lorida's foolish neglect of her
own rich resources. 1t is said that
Florida buys from other states
some thing like $37,000,00O worth
of stuff she could grow at home.
Yet the Florida citizen "gets up
at the alarm of a Connecticut
clock, buttons his Chicago sus-
penders to his Detroit overalls,
washes his face with Cincinnati
soap in a Pennsylvania pan, sits
down to a Grand Rapids table,
eats Chicago meat and Tennessee
flour cooked with Kansas lard on
a St. Louis stove, puts a New York
bride on a Missouri mule, fed on
Iowa corn, plows the farm cover
ed with 81 Ohio mortgage, with :

Prosperity

Evidence continues to accumu.
late in proof of the fact that o
broad and powerful wave of pros
perity is sweeping over the coum-
try. One of the best of proofs is
the large earnings of the steel
corporation whose net earnings
for March were eight million dol
lars against four and a half for
February. This shows that rail
roads and building construction
are very active and prosperous a.
gain. The locomotive works in
Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York
Ohio and other places have alrea-
dy received orders that will keep
them busy. for more than a year.
And best of all our exports to for
eign countries are running at an
increase over all records of about
four hundred million dollars per
annum, and South America is just
launching two new steamship
lines; one from Rio Janeiro, Bra
I'll and the other from Beunos
Aires, Argentine, so as to aid in
taking care of the rapidly in
creasing trade between them and
us.

Florida's Greatest Need

The Industrial Survey just COM
pleted shows what crying neces-
sity there is for Florida to pro
duce more than she does out OF
the soil. Take for example the
item of eggs. and poultry shipped
into Jacksonville from other states
every year. The amount paid for
this one item in a year is 1928
500. And this in the face of the
fact that Florida is the best place
in the world to. produce poultry
and eggs!
Then there is another item of
preserved and canned foods. There
is shipped into this city every
year $990,820 worth from other
States. And do you know where
much of this comes from? 1t
comes all the way from California.
We are buying canned goods and
preserves, shipping them clear a
cross the continent to a country
that can raise just as good vege-
tables, just as good fruits and
and make just as good preserves
as can be made in California and
make them just as cheaply.
These two items are sufficient
for an object lesson to all Florida.
This state which can raise the fin
est tomatoes that ever grew, buy
ing canned tomatoes from a state
three thousand miles away! This
state can raise as fine beans and
peas as grow anywhere under the
sun and raise just as many to the
acre as can be produced anywhere,
paying freight across the CONT
nent on the humble bean, to be
sold at a large profit in Florida,
and to take money from Florida to
California.
Ism t this sufficient commentary
on our situation to make all of us
sit up and take notice? Ism t this
enough to awaken us from our
sleep and legarthy and make us
get busy to develope in Florida
enough of our rich lands to not on
ly produce millions of dollars
worth of these things for home
use, but enough more to ship to
other states and to other countri-
es.
1t is shame that Florida, with
her millions upon millions of good
acres, capable of producing any
thing that will grow in any tenn
perate zone or Semi-tropical coun-
try, buying millions on millions of
dollars worth of food supplies
from other sections.
Every time farmer comes to
Florida and makes. good on Flori-
da land, he brings something to
all of us. He creates out of what
is now waste soil certain amount
of wealth that will add its mite,
however small, to the general
wealth of Florida and thereby in
crease possibilities of every wage
Garner to earn little more and the
opportunity of every business man
in the state great or small to make
a little more money.-Florida

could be made on The old Sioux
creek trail, so as to make the road
better for the farmers TO haul
their grain 10 Glendive this fall.
AS a whole the old Sioux creek

a few bad places and these COM

up within short time.
Crops looked good all along
the Valley, with the exception OF
late Flax, but what appeared to be
the very best was the fields of D.

so thick one could hardly count
them. But for corn, the best we
noticed was at the w. H. Rein

exceptionally fine.

the finest little valleys we have

KEEP UP GRADE OF POULTRY
Poultrymen Make Mistake in Buying
Matching Eggs or Breeding Stock
From Different Breeders.

Many a poultryman, striving to
breed up strain of reproducing
hens. makes the mistake of buying
Matching eggs or breeding stock from
different breeder each year. 1t pays
far better to go back, for a number
Of years, to a breeder who has stock
that mates well with and improves the
size and egg producing qualities of the
progressive poultryman's stock
So reports James G. Halpin, head
of the poultry department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, who has found
that the number of reliable poultry
breeders producing just the sort of
breeding stock generally needed is
rapidly increasing. He believes that
the next few years will be a still
greater increase along this line for
the breeder can afford to line breed
his stock and take a great deal of
pains building up a strain of high
egg producers. The grading up of the
farm flock with good, strong males OF
the right sort of breeding, is one of
the principal things needed in the
poultry industry at this time.

TEACHING CHILDREN TO SAVE
Idea Is to Have Young People Deposit
Small Sums Which Belong to
Them as Result of Work.

tBy CHARLOTTE A. BAKER. Colorado
Agricultural College,
When you are worried TO death
about your bills, do you ever think
of Mr.. Micawber's definition of hap
piness and of misery? Annual in
come twenty pounds, expenditure
nineteen nineteen six, results happi-
ness; annual expenditure twenty
pounds ought and six, result mis-
cry and, in short, you are for
ever floored." Part of a child's edu-
cation should be learning to avoid be-
ing forever fioored,' and this means
he must be taught to save.
In 1913 We had 1,S39,174 children
in the public schools, and about one
child in eight had earnings in school
savings bank. 1t is not the idea of
these banks to have the children beg
money from their parents or friends,
but to deposit small sums which be-
long to them as the result of self-de
NAL or work.
If you are interested in this move
ment and want to know what has been
done and is being done to teach chill
dren selfcontrol and thrift, read the
government bulletin called School Saw
ings banks. You may get it by writ
ing the United States Bureau of Edu-
cation, Washington, ID. c., and by ask
ing for bulletin forty-six of the 1914
series.
